I just want to post here because I recently had a bad experience with unnecessary lock nuts, and it makes me want to ban them.

Also, hi bryce!

thx rip lil mod

hey, somehow got unlocked. can it be re-locked? causes confusion:

2018 Rolling Rap and Hip Hop Thread

No confusion. One is for face tats and the other is for rap.

everybody needs love and adventure
everybody lock 2 or 3 threads

ALBATROSS

thinking abt that time the ilx rap crew did a secret poll as gift from on high to lix and everyone got mad at them lol

it would be funnier if instead of getting mad everyone just thanked them profusely

you have our ever lasting gratitude for this precious list of rap songs

You have my everlasting gratitude for reminding me about that thread.

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

everybody needs love and adventure
everybody lock 2 or 3 threads

‎✔

classic shit, immediately goes off the rails xp

I remember being a little butthurt that I wasn’t invited to vote but that being outweighed by how visibly mad we gone else was, and whineys meltdown was one of the greatest ilx things ever

we gone else = everyone else

tbh it's pretty tragic that people were haranguing Whiney for not giving them the fix of statistical analysis they so desperately crave

he was expecting a a good reaction then a couple ppl are genuinely mad and everyone else senses weakness and starts giving him shit abt like the images hes using and not posting the vote totals lmao

also good how most of the voters never even post in the thread

as soon as a started rereading it i was like why is this an albums poll then im in the thread asking why its an albums poll ten times

I skimmed the goon thread at least once a month in 2010, why was I not asked to vote!

is this better or worse than ppl fighting over the title of the goon thread seven years later

lmao rereading this is so great

the seven years later part prob tips it in favor of the title argument being worse

"deej is deej & forks has totally lost the plot" isn't much by itself but ums's increasingly bewildered calls for reason are making this pretty classic imo

Nowhere near as classic as secret goon poll thread obv

that baby picture is so funny i will use it in future

i keep a spare plot in case of emergencies

I laughed for a minute straight at the baby

did some online research and heres the original video which answers the question what is the baby reacting to if you want to know

Not available in my country, guess that's fair.

hey, noticed this thread still hasn't been locked. can a mod lock it? confusing to have multiple rap threads. thanks in advance

nope, they're both for rap music. now that that's cleared up, can we please lock

2018 Rolling Rap and Hip Hop Thread

I'm reading that thread don't lock it

it can still be read after locked; i advise posting a link to the other thread before closing

what about creating more threads just spitballin

Yeah yeah

xp I'm reading the new posts specifically

i'm not sure why mods aren't locking the thread... there aren't any other multiple coexisting rolling genre threads, are there?

yeah? we have ones where a new one’s started and people post in the old one all the time

just take 2018 out of the title or something

change it to 2016

rolling pedant thread 2021

That’s every thread

I think each of the mods, acting independently of one another, ought to lock whichever two of the three threads they think most eligible for locking, regardless of which two threads have already been locked.

^^^take this idea and extend it to all threads

context:

- no regular rap thread poster besides forks thinks rap thread should be split in 2. his own motivations, besides a vague animosity towards deej, are unclear to me. i personally think forks is a great guy who does a lot for the board (updating dozens of spotify playlists out of pure generosity). just wish he would not try to split my favourite rolling genre thread in two for no apparent reason, as it makes it very confusing to follow!

- decade+ long tradition of naming rap threads riffing on trends in 'lcd rap' is good-natured fun, bickering over particulars of the name in early january a part of the tradition. this has never resulted in a split before. the names speak to posters' simple pleasure in trendwatching, as well as a more trad 'popist' critical pov that is reluctant to dismiss 'low' forms of the genre out of hand

- despite naming convention, it's well-known that music posted in the threads is not exclusive to street rap (as a scroll through any years' thread would immediately confirm), and the supposed bias towards street rap is a misrepresentation. as in any rolling genre thread, links to music will elicit opinions and critical perspectives. imo this is a feature not a bug!

in conclusion, please lock the thread. thanks <3

flopson was not a voter in the 2010 poll and has no vote

IMO Yelawolf should hold the tiebreaking vote, anybody got his digits

my ex girlfriend ;_;
