2010 GOON POLL results: The Top 30 Hip-Hop/Rap Albums of 2010

the earl video is...this is why i don't listen to, like, metal or punk or whatever

earl is 16!

there was an umatched excitement for me in terms of kids creating something w/ such a defined and identifiable aesthetic

didn't this happen the year before with jerk? and actually happens quite a lot in hip-hop?

yeah, they're like 16-19 instead of like 22-27

which is a gulf of time when you're that age

this is otm

on a technical level tho regardless of age a lot of odd future's raps just killed it

idk it's a lot because they rap from teen pov, not grown man shit, and also technical precociousness on some "nas and az were teenagers when they made life's a bitch"

i don't think jerk had it's own font, dude

^^^

basically all that deliberately gross/scatological teenage boy shit really bores me. and they have rape jokes on top of that? right.

forgive me if i'm not judging scenes by their fonts

yeah, they're like 16-19 instead of like 22-27

my main problem w/ all the cooking dance songs is that the jonboy track "let that boy cook" is >>>> all of the b cooking dance songs

late on this but otm

most rappers i dig are at least 8-10 years older than odd future

Yeah but the rapping itself is really good. And the beats too. Yeah their horrorcore steez isn't for everyone, but remember, Method Man once threatening to sew an man's asshole shut and keep feeding and feeding him.

like people call Avi Buffalo "impossibly young" and that dude is like 21. The most visible member of this group is 16 years old—like old enough to be sent to fucking boot camp by his mom.

also i voted for a rapper at least 6 years younger than odd future

i'll gladly take that kind of harsh criticism from someone who's basically 3 hours removed from one epic hissyfit (xpost)

xpost, well i voted for

also at the end of "earl" they tell the 2dopeboyz dude's non-existent daughter that they killed his dad, which is hilarious

er, that they killed her* dad

what's #13?

yeah but method man wasn't just about horrorcore. and three 6 mafia actually made their horror sound genuinely overwhelming and dark and menacing - w/odd future as j0rdan said earlier, if you're not paying attention you'd just think it was any hip-hop mixtape w/above-average rapping but no real energy or sense of fun

xps

is jerk over already? lol past tense

yeah whiney you suck at this

13. Gucci Mane - Mr. Zone 6

if you're not paying attention you'd just think it was any hip-hop mixtape w/above-average rapping but no real energy or sense of fun

lol i didn't say exactly this & i totally disagree w/ the last part

no real energy or sense of fun

?? the sense of fun is like the most obvious thing about it!

loooool someone just sent me this

if u dont like the horrorcore realness that tyler and earl bring u might still like the mellowhype album - it has the same unburdened, anarchic joy but its not as dark

lol lex

?? the sense of fun is like the most obvious thing about it!

oh ok i guess teenage boys do find things like sub-jackass body grossness and rape jokes "fun"

i can't imagine not liking horrorcore shit

Yes, fun is the whole point. These are just kids goofing off, being deliberately provocative and having a great time doing it.

yup

god lex you're so grown up

like if you can't sit down and watch Evil Dead with me, fuiud for real

yeah mellowhype is odd future's take on southern rap, that might be more agreeable

Yes, fun is the whole point. These are just kids goofing off, being deliberately provocative and having a great time doing it.

yeah i get this, i hated that kind of fun when i had to be around teenage boys and still hate it now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwkhXeF6U70&feature=related

What a beat.

not grown man shit

I really think this is the most succinct capture of their appeal anybody's said about them.

it's not like i hate the horrorcore steez by default, though comparing odd future to prime three 6 really isn't a good look for them

Yeah but most grown man shit is fucking boring.

horrcore isn't exactly right tho

curious @ what kind of teenage boy was lex? Be and my best friend would watch Troma shit, John Waters shit, Sam Raimi ish all day long. Blast Ministy and Anthrax records and play Mortal Kombat and fuck yeah dude

I don't see how odd future's horrorcore silliness is any less enjoyable/more offensive than standard coke-dealer gangster shit. if anything the latter's more offensive cuz it takes itself so much more seriously

it really is just teenage boy skater/class clown shit filtered thru 'slim shady lp'

seriously

there's two diff things at play

1. do you think skater pranking shit like this is fun personally? this is debateable
2. is there a sense of fun in odd future's music? i think this is not v debateable
