OR if you're watching the sun come up!
Hah, I put that second disc on after a party once as the sun was coming up and people were still buzzing a bit and someone forced me to turn it off because the birdsong was totally killing the vibe. Think you were there actually.

Has Cuban Links II placed? I could see that.
so like j0rdan, al, etc you guys really like HATE clipse totally huh? like you don't even think they are good rappers?
i'm just curious cuz i guess i thought the general feeling was "dudes can rhyme, good production but it's a little ridic how overpraised they are compared to other stuff"...(or at least that's my feeling mostly)

Really glad Clipse made it. It was the highest rap album on my list.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 12 July 2010 22:05 (fourteen years ago) link
well, 'lord willin' is in the top 5 rap albums of the decade, and 'we got it 4 cheap' is in the top 15, but HHNF is way, way below those

If TC2 didn't make it then I am genuinely fucking confused as to what the other rap record is. I assume you don't mean a 'rap dudes do a crappy gnarls barkley' type of thing.
Oh yeah, Raekwon, duh. STILL haven't got around to listening to it, STILL scared about how it could ruin my fav hiphop album ever.

to me the Clipse early singles/Lord Willin' stuff is great, but the Neptunes got pretty terrible at doing rap beats after that, and the mixtape stuff isn't THAT good

OB4CL2 is great. so solid. I think Alfred's criticism that its lone weakness is that it's pretty humorless is OTM, but that doesn't bother me really.

see, I have reached the point in my life where I will reliably tear up at iPhone commercials, so the fact that every Taylor Swift song has had about the same emotional impact on me as a ham sandwich makes me think it's about as emotionally vacant and wholly unsuccessful at pandering to heart strings as you can be and still qualify as music
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 22:12 (fourteen years ago) link
the thing i always hated about HHNF press was how people were like "the beats are so cold and unforgiving, just like the rapping!" which means that everything was just kind of boring
― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 July 2010 22:12 (fourteen years ago) link
That Taylor Swift album is ridiculously high compared to really good dead behind the eyes automatons like Britney and even more ridiculously high when you consider that MIRANDA LAMBERT is not even in this list at all.
― Matt DC, Monday, 12 July 2010 22:12 (fourteen years ago) link
i like some of the beats on HHNF
"ride around shinin", "mama i'm so sorry" beats are endearing to me in their strangeness

'dead-behind-eyes' and 'automaton'?

Many (most) of my good friends don't really get Taylor, which is fine, but I get angry when people actively hate her and could never have a relationship with any such person.

I could see "Damn Girl" and "Summer Love" maybe being annoying with other pop singers, but I think Justin's vocals are incredibly compelling on both--dripping with (sorry) swagger
Didn't vote for Taylor, but I should revisit the album. Demi's debut was the only teenpop on my list, I think...
If Miranda doesn't make it, I'll be annoyed. Surely she will, though!

Applies much more so to Britney (that album is LIFELESS, I even played the two YouTube'd songs posted here and UGH) than to Taylor, which is a vibrant, three-dimensional album and a great instance of the popular and critical stars aligning, for once.
