I suspect you're drawing a bit of a bow from pitchfork's historical love of remixes - but the thing with remixes is that, esp. for the period 2004-2006, when it came to dance music non-dance fans were much more likely to be into remixes of things than they were to be into original dance music tracks.
Pitchfork has never particularly celebrated R&B or hip hop non-singles in its end of year polls - non-single rap tracks that did well have almost always been radio hits at the very least.

looking for 'fancy' would be like me expecting, i dunno, 'my shadow' to be gucci's token critic pick this year
tbh "my shadow" is definitely the standout gucci track of 09 for me, and of everything he released probably has the most critical catnip
for some reason i didn't realise we were talking about the pfork list last night, so all i have to say now is "fuck it, who cares".

non-single rap tracks that did well have almost always been radio hits at the very least.
that's not entirely true, as i alluded to before, stuff like "Georgia Bush" and random Clipse mixtape tracks weren't radio hits. but yeah generally those are the exceptions that prove the rule.

maybe hit it on the road was released? if so could substitute with 'they don't know me'. some of the other mariah demos + 'bed' are also incredible but feels a bit unfair somehow to include.
― hoes on my dick cos my groceries bagged (tpp), Wednesday, 11 August 2010 09:55 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't think "hit it on the road" was released but it's probably in my all-time terius top 10, not just unreleased
