hell yeah

secrete-ly checking this thread in a v. important meeting - what being a goon is all about

lol

re ag yep it is a model for now irrelevant old guys, kind of a new sort of record almost

i voted for it i think

doing work but this is a classic in the making

i'm gonna just come back later

22. Fat Joe - The Darkside Vol 1

btw

ppl ask all the time -- it happened a few times in the EOY mag list thread & there was a whole separate thread -- asking what the good rap from this past year was

that was also one of the motivations behind doing this poll

cover of the year btw:

talking of old guys with two-letter stage names, did AZ have a mixtape last year btw? i only heard "feel my pain"

i like angry middle-aged guy rap

i should really have checked the fat joe album out given how much i loved "slow down son", though i've been strictly singles-only for his entire career and it would've felt odd changing that

that AG cover is srt8 chillwave

21. Gucci Mane - Jewelry Selection

j0rdan, starlito is kind of clever and funny and emotional and has a nice way with melody and often does it all like an easy freestyle lazy drawl. check the utube for instance - i didn't vote for it in the end but there are really some jams on that tape imo

dude just kind of mumbles aimlessly imo

20. NhT Boyz - Power Triangle Vol. 1

wow

might move on to gifs from here

so far nothing i voted for has made it but that's pretty crazy that NHT Boyz is on here. dope

I need to go back to that. I listened to it once and it was dope but it kinda slipped off my radar.

Hmmm, just realized none of my votes have shown either.

when i saw the "slidin" video i thought it the kidnap plot was disproportionally nasty for the track (even tho it was kind of endearingly false), but the tape really is quite nasty. undeniable tho

nht boys - "slidin"

This is my favorite NHT Boyz joint that isn't on there:

Opens with the great line "MY NAME IS KNOWLEDGE BIIIITCH"

19. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

good place for it to show up imo

loooooooool that gif

well, well look who's changed his tune about the goofy pix.

rofl @ the power triangle gif

okay i have to go to lunch -- have fun goons

Rev, you sure you don't want to me to post the album cover so everyone knows what the kanye album looks like?

lol @ #19

every one of the 18 to come will have an extra frisson of pleasure

first thing i've heard on here heh

maybe this will be the year i start listening to full tapes instead of just clicking all your youtube links

i really didn't think ye was gonna show up that low tbh

who would've voted for it apart from whiney?

Ye was only on 2/15 ballots, and they were me and J0rdan lol

hahaha

im sure there were 18 better gucci tapes

great thread so far, wish that more people had objected though

I think Kanye at 19 speaks for itself

18. Rick Ross - Teflon Don

sigh

at least we've got THOSE TWO out of the way

haha i'm actually happier about the low placing of ross than kanye

Surprised to see ross that low too tbh. Just me and surfboards maybe

i still have no idea how many votes it took for an album/mixtape to place in this, so have no idea how likely it is that any more of my votes will show (well, some obv will, but the others)

ross did not make it for me

haha whiney that is a fantastic gif.

Ross was on 4/15 ballots
