When people have a month to vote, people get lazy. 10-14 days is plenty of time.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 22:51 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, I thought this will get like 50 ballots. now I'm embarrassed about sending mine. don't want it too affect the results so much.

I'm listening to all the albums and tracks I haven't heard before.
It's taking some time.

Or with out-crowd forum people for that matter. Goon crew need to school us non-Gooners innit... xp
The jury is still out on my ballot, Sam, it's pretty fucking hard a task putting things in order, especially the tracks poll for me. It'll be a last minute cast, but last minute it will be.

My ballots have been sent!
Kinda weird/kinda canon, leaning newer and west coast to an extent.
― The dad guitar, or "bass" in muso terms (Whitey on the Moon), Wednesday, 11 May 2011 09:02 (thirteen years ago) link
My ballots were all over the place, but mostly mainstream and typically rockist and definitely stopped clock-ish.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 09:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Even though it was no conscious choice, I suspected my ballots would show how much of an 90s rap guy I am. And indeed, 13 of my top 20 tracks are from the nineties... But surprisingly enough, 5 of my top 10 albums are from the 00s, including #1 and #2.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 09:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Whoops, I misremembered, my #2 album is actually from 1999. But it certainly feels like a 00s album to me.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 09:11 (thirteen years ago) link
This goon is just a bit 'polled out', that's all.

Erm, I could have sworn that the nominations thread title said "hip hop", not "rap music"? On that basis, some of my nominations were rap-free...
― mike t-diva, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 10:19 (thirteen years ago) link
I've finally listened to every single nominated track that's on Spotify. Useful for clarifying which MCs and producers I really don't have time for as well as for introducing me to so many brilliant tracks I missed. My bias towards 1988-1997 is ridiculous, it seems.

rock & roll was better '60s
sex was better in the '70s
rap was better in the '80's
retro was better in the '90's
internet opinions were better in the '00's
― nicky lo-fi, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:08 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm certain it was "hip hop". I voted for one instrumental hip hop album, and I'm quite sure they count here...?
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Wasn't this debate covered in some detail?
― Number None, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:13 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, but looks like the name of the poll has changed from "hip hop poll" to "rap poll" since then.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:16 (thirteen years ago) link
oh come on, rap and hip-hop are exactly the same thing even if we have all heard 6000 krs one rants on the subject.
― popular gay automobile (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:25 (thirteen years ago) link
It's not like the nominations list has changed either
― Number None, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 11:26 (thirteen years ago) link
I've no political/purist opinion on the matter, but I still think it'd be weird to call music without rapping "rap". Generally I prefer to use the word "rap" (because I don't want to associate myself with the fundamentalists who distinguish "real hip hop" from "commercial rap" or whatever) when talking about the music, but when it comes to the instrumental stuff I say "instrumental hip hop", or just "hip hop", since "instrumental hip hop" is a retronym.

Sorry about the academic nitpicking, I just finished my thesis on masculinity in Finnish rap, so I've been kinda forced to think about issues of terminology, such as this one.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 12:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Ok well we can accept that when I made the thread I wasn't thinking this would be an issue and have no problem with people voting for instrumental/electro rap records and that the title wasn't meant as a subliminal way to stop people participating or voting if they primarily like this part of hip-hop?
It may however have something to do with deej getting pissy about my use of hip-hop/rap instead of just rap and deciding to go with just 'rap' as an all encompassing term because i still respect what dude thinks? even if he hasen't yet voted (grrr...)

re slow voting: I didn't have time to read the noms thread when I found it, a month old, and certainly didn;t have time to nom anything [ :( :( ]
I've copied the noms list and slashed out everything I don't want to consider, but it will take at least HOURS to whittle down further, and I have not had time to do so in between bits of work, at work, where we are three weeks behind schedule and have been all year. a hoy hoy is unemployed, right? this shit is not as easy as we'd like it to be.
also, it is insane to do TRACKS and ALBUMS in one poll. spread that shit out. that makes it waaaaaay harder for voters.
