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

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

My album list broke down así:

1980s: 4%
1990s: 42%
post 2000: 54%

(I'm kinda young. ok?

East: 40%
West: 22%
South: 22%
Midwest: 10%
East/West collabo: 4%
UK: 2%

Tracks:
'80s - 18%
'90s - 52%
'00s - 28%
'10s - 2%

Albums:
'80s – 12%
'90s – 64%
'00s – 22%
'10s – 2%

Ditto.

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

I never got around to nominating albums but i definitely would have picked this.

About 1/5 of the way through them. 6 records currently got more than 100 points. Gonna stop for lunch and to run out before it starts raining. Tip yr waitresses with abandon and go to gun sounds and download elmatic - daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

SHAKEY YOU VOTED FOR DIGITAL UNDERGROUND's SONS OF THE P TWICE,

if he didn't vote for Sex Packets, he definitely meant to, so give the top ranking to that

if he did, fuck it, give Sons Of The P twice the points

or put in the Same Song EP at #20 and we'll call it even

he voted for sex packets too

yeah i feel bad that i didn't nominate ball & g now

I think I voted for iron man by ghost

Ditto.

new jack

This Elzhi mixtape is ace.

you've got a week to vote for tracks and tonight to for albums

u dont say

Excited!

about halfway through the vote collecting, listening to bdp blueprint and thinking of naming it 'lol white ppl amirite the 100 greatest rap albums of all time'

ok only about 10 ballots left to go but damn sleep is calling.

yeah lex i'm spending the ext hour watching angel and doing the last album ballots so if you want to send it in.

prediction fun time while you wait?

ahh, when are u going to start rolling them out?

tbh I have frankly no guess as to what will place other than basic canon staples. I predict that folks are gonna get upset.

whenever i'm done?

Your fun top fives:
Tracks: The Message, G Thang, California Love, Juicy, Rapper's Delight
Albums: Nation of Millions, 36 Chambers, Illmatic, Black Planet, Doggystyle

Aw no scratch that, NWA will have something in each

NWA didn't even place in the 80s albums poll we had a while ago! Granted, the voting demographic might be different here, but still... In your top 5 prediction, I'd replace Black Planet with Aquemini and Doggystyle with The Chronic.

And no way is Rapper's Delight in the top 5, probably not even in the top 50. I'm pretty sure Sugarhill Gang's status as "fakes"/rhyme-biters will keep true heads from giving them high scores.

I gave my Sugarhill Gang vote to Funky 4 + 1 - far more deserving candidates imo
