Polls weak like clock radio speakers - VOTING THREAD for the ALL TIME RAP MUSIC POLL OF THE GODS (poll ends 25 May 2011)

Epmd holds up so well, originally had the first threr on my albums ballot, had to cut down to one went with unfinished business

Come on!

Submitting tonight, but I'm 8 hours behind UK time. Hopefully that'll work

Did noms but I'm just not gonna make it tonight ;_;

i'll most probably start the countdown monday, so maybe, if you are nice to me, i'll give you till sunday.

Us Yanks won't be at work on Monday. It's cool with me, but some people will probably want to be in their cubicles for countdown discussin'.

I'm going to send my albums in ASAP, I hope they still count...

plz don't start countdown on Monday

And many thanks to A Hoy Hoy for a sterling job, I'm looking forward to seeing the results. If you want them stats - gun butt them twats. Or something.

oooh explain

btw i'm still taking ballots. i was going to start it monday, meaning i'd take ballots up till sunday but if starting monday doesn't work for americanos, i may push the deadline back even further.

Monday in the US is Memorial Day where we (officially) remember our war dead and (unofficially) get drunk and grill meat.

Thx for bumping today with Cocoa Brovaz btw. That was one of my noms! I feel like a winner already!

oooh ok. will people be at work/on ilx on tuesday then? what about the top 100 albums 25 a day tuesday-friday?

Yah good plan, Tuesday should be business as usual.

i like that plan! excited to see results!

25 is a lot, feel free to pace it out and let some discussion froth

did this get more votes than the Blur poll?

The deadline has been extended til Sunday night.

so, will this get more votes than the Blur poll?

i dunno, who cares about weak ass britpop?

lol

decided to break my ballot down my decade for the hell of it

albums: 8% from the 1980s, 68% from the 1990s, 20% from the 2000s, 4% from the 2010s
tracks: 34% from the 1980s, 66% from the 1990s

which 2 albums from the past 2 years

Flockaveli and Revenue Retrievin' (SPOILER)

;) good pix will be hilarious & great when flockaveli places

Getting really excited for this. Come quick, Tuesday!

this is fun!

mine looks like this (i'm young okay?)

12% - 80s
38% - 90s
48% - 00s
2% - 10s

albums?

appreciate the extra time b/c I've had more leisure time this weekend to pare down my tracks ballot. fucking impossible. the last 10-20 esp.

trax stats:

I unwittingly ended up w/ some very clean & orderly orderly percentages (but def appropriate w respect to my listening habits)

70s/80s - 30%
90s - 50%
00s/10s - 20%

7 trax from 1988
6 apiece from 1991 & 1994

TRACKS:

12 pre-nineties
26 nineties
12 post-nineties

so is it too early to institute the "if deej didn't vote he can't complain" policy?

assuming that encourages him to vote. i even sent him previous posts he'd made stating his top whatever tracks and albums in hope that he'd contribute. also no whiney or jordan votes.

Albums

80s- 10%
90s- 68%
00s- 22%

Tracks

80s- 20%
90s- 66%
00s- 14%

Just use what you sent me

albums:

80s - 10%
90s - 60%
00s - 30%

tracks:

80s - 6%
90s - 70%
00s - 24%

can you at least confirm yr #1s deej?

My no.1s:

Album - illmatic
Song- too billin

Voted lots of 80s stuff. If I couldn't decide I have the tie break to the older track because I figured most votes would be 90s and 00s

i'll try & send a ballot tonight -- if "smang it" & "gettin jiggy wit it" are my top 2 tracks, i'm not trolling

:DDDD

my albums list is turning out to be so ridiculously 90s-specific

I wonder how many of these 00s votes are for "Ante Up" and Supreme Clientele--which feel 90s to me.

TRACKS:
'00s 20%
'90s 44%
'80s 32%
'70s 4%

ALBUMS:
'00s 8%
'90s 54%
'80s 38%

i picked fishscale over clientele, go ahead lol now

(though if i'd voted more than one album per artist it'd be top 50, i just wanted more variety)

I picked two Ghost albums, neither of which were Clientele

(though if i'd voted more than one album per artist it'd be top 50, i just wanted more variety)

yeah, I usually limit myself to one track/album per artist per list. went w/ fishscale b/c it is clearly his best album.

so so so so very wrong

^ impartial voice from PWC vote-counters

8Ball & MJG - In Our Lifetime, Vol. 1; kinda baffled to discover this didn't get nommed for the albums list tbh.

a bit late considering they voted for albums other than supreme clientele wtf
