OJ da Juiceman - Make tha Trap Say Aye

^ this should be

OJ da Juiceman feat. Gucci Mane - Make tha Trap Say Aye

'Lemon pepper wings and a freeze cup'

forgot about that song

i don't think the ilx 2000-2004 albums list is going to be particularly representative of this one but here's the albums from its top 100 that haven't been nominated yet - a few pretty surprising omissions so far

19. The Rapture - Echoes (554)
23. The White Stripes - Elephant (517)
33. Le Tigre - Le Tigre (436)
42. The Clientele - Suburban Light (3??)
