in 2015 ppl should really stop hating on indie otherwise we get lame indie rap songs and indie dance songs

i was kind of amazed the first time i heard this on the radio

i then posted it on ilx in the mike will thread and it got no replies lol

Let the indie fans have their persecution complex.

indie fans vs. trill ass individuals

someone needs to go out to the cabin and check on saer before we proceed with the other songs

i'll do these last few another time, really good new mix popped up on soundcloud!

Wait how old is this Rae Sremmurd guy? He's too young to be speaking in such a foul language.

plz check yr twitter direct messages thank you

lyrically it's kind of a boring outing for Thug

disagree but saying "flava" is better is defensible

they're both in their early 20s

whaaat? They look like they're 12 and 15. Damn, good genes.

how many ballots were there this year?

131 tracks ballots.

thank you

well at this point i guess i'm pretty excited to know what #78 was.

my #2 iirc? or #3. probably the song that got into my head the most all year

in my mind 'no flex zone' is a real throwback to the golden age of fruity swag anthems but actually whenever i listen to it again the production is way too sci-fi for that era

The only rap track in the top 20 I will fuck with is Vic Mensa, and it seems quite an outlier among the goon crew. Not surprising I guess.

in a just world they would be american pop radio is reluctant to touch most rap music nowadays unless it's igloo australia or something

Get out your joke winners now

I don't like anything about this except the way in which he says 'NO FLEX. ZONE' and I really really like that. Like it's the gap between "flex" and "zone" that somehow makes the entire song.

im a big fan of the vic mensa record. found it odd some dude thinks its on the weak side of what chance does when i think vic is the much more ... accessible version of chance

lol @ javiera mena putting out so many good songs this year and ilm still being all "nope, only 1 place in the countdown for you"

well at this point i guess i'm pretty excited to know what #78 was.

really impressed "Brick In Yo Face" is going to make the top 2

drunk on a plane no. 1

As much as I prefer this year's results to any of the other years in which I actually submitted a ballot ... 2014 really was an off year for tracks.

I'm betting La Joya isn't lower than 100.

it should have been "la joya" this year imo xp

vic mensa song is awesome imo, that was high on my ballot

La Joya was my #1

drunk on a plane no. 1

^^ ass I'm gonna kick

can't wait to get 2 on with 2 two's one of which will be at #2. should wait til 4:20 to post the top 2. that would be 2 on.

true. the epic chorus initially reminded me of rich kidz - my life ft. waka (who actually screams "flex" thru the chorus!) but the chintzy horns of my life are of a different era compeltely

OK gr8080 we're tired of each other. Get on with it.

la joya probably would have been my #1 had i voted so ya'll can blame me

what if they got the same amount of points and tied? then they'll both technically be at #2.

no they'd be technically tied for #1

Clearly this is an 'All About That Bass' -> 'Rude' double-whammy.

It's also the only one of the (US) rap songs that wasn't an IRL hit. Extending to the full list, the only others that didn't reach at least the r&b/rap airplay chart are "Boss Ass Bitch" and "YRN".

i know im just being stupid lol
