"btw are we done with the animal collectors now or do they have any more albums i should mentally prepare myself for..."
we haven't seen Person Pitch yet, right? my feeling is that many like that who don't even like AnCo that much (me included actually)

me as well, altho i didn't vote for it
― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:48 (fourteen years ago) link
well I already know the last two tracks are mega-^________^ but there's Somewhere In Between to negotiate first, and guess what it's started very promisingly
oooh good lord those strings just leapt into a higher register and kinda gave me a shiver
YEAH AN ALBUM I ACTUALLY VOTED FOR XDDDDD sorry folks but Of Montreal are really good!

I have pointedly ignored that record because of the title.
― Matt DC, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:48 (fourteen years ago) link
hissing fauna is another one that i think is great that i didn't vote for i don't think

I did that for ages but it's actually really sweet although I am guessing a bit hyperactively indie for your tastes Matt

Wait wait wait. Lex, how do you have the stones to call Blaqkout anything the best hip-hop album of the last 5 years if you haven't heard Fishscale? Fishscale! These are the fundamentals.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:49 (fourteen years ago) link
voted Skeletal Lamping over Hissing Fauna btw but I'm probably alone on that one
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:50 (fourteen years ago) link
okay, if I'd voted, Battles would have pushed just ahead of Young Jeezy and Ellen Allien/Apparat would have been right behind TV on the Radio

Vitalic would have just beat out Strawberry Jam

Robyn would have beaten Girl Talk

i called king the best hip-hop album of the past etc etc, i'm not really a huge ghostface fan. i only have the pretty toney album of his solo stuff and it's, um, ok, i guess.

ugh the MPP cover is even uglier than blackout, and at least britney had an excuse
the cover is the worst thing about MPP, it's really inexplicable.
what's Britney's excuse?

Sunset Tree over Gang Gang Dance
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:54 (fourteen years ago) link
E-40's put out like 3 albums better than King in the last 5 years, and two of those were this year!
x-post
Britney was too busy doing drugs, shaving her head and going crazy to care about trifling matters like album covers.
― Matt DC, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:55 (fourteen years ago) link
dan, i woulda put gang gang dance back above it though
― plax (ico), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:55 (fourteen years ago) link
britney's excuse was that she was busy shaving her head, being on drugs/crazy and getting sectioned at the time, and i guess her label couldn't really be bothered with the artwork.
lol xp

ok i've heard the two e-40 albums from this year and neither of them are remotely close to king
haha where are all the clipse votes coming from fess up
― ciderpress, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:56 (fourteen years ago) link
i think we can all agree that the overrated-ass clipse album is certainly not the best hip-hop album of the half-decade tho smh smh
(still have a lot of time for "trill" tho)
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:57 (fourteen years ago) link
fucking hate u clipse stans but remember upthread when people said it wasn't even gonna place? i so called it.
― some dude, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:57 (fourteen years ago) link
HHNF was definitely one of my most disappointing albums of the decade
― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:57 (fourteen years ago) link
1. "FutureSex/LoveSound" 2. "SexyBack" (featuring Timbaland)3. "Sexy Ladies/Let Me Talk to You (Prelude)" 4. "My Love" (featuring T.I.)5. "LoveStoned/I Think She Knows (Interlude)" 6. "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around (Interlude)" 7. "Chop Me Up" (featuring Three 6 Mafia & Timbaland)8. "Damn Girl" (featuring will.i.am)9. "Summer Love/Set the Mood (Prelude)" 10. "Until the End of Time" 11. "Losing My Way" 12. "(Another Song) All Over Again"
Genuinely curious what songs people don't consider classic! I'll go ahead and concede that the lyrics of "Losing My Way" ("Hi my name is bob and I work at my job") are hilariously lame, but the song is classic.

what rap albums are likely to place above this? tha carter ii and...?

i love the one where the beat has the sound of someone reaching inside a piano and strumming all the strings ("ride around shinin" i think)
― ciderpress, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Hell Hath No Fury has some classic jams but really it should have had the wheat seperated from HHNF and the mixtapes and put together to make something I'd actually listen to again.

Everything after Chop Me Up is shit, and Sexyback is Barely even a song and has dated so badly. Can't believe people called out Single Ladies for being more a signature than a song but SexyBack is like 20 times worse for that.
