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'

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

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...

Or maybe it was b/c the five or so tracks on it that aren't ridiculously classic & awesome are really not all that great.

rhymes might be bitten and Sylvia a rip-off merchant, but Delight is a fucking jam

DJs playing the full 15 minutes at every bar and afterparty I went to in the late 90s killed it for me.

yeah i agree that it won't be in the top 5, but i really don't think there are that many hip hop fans who are so hung up on Sugarhill's lack of cred that they'd deny their place in history or the merit of that song (that said, i didn't vote for "Rapper's Delight," but that's mainly because i forgot and only realized i didn't after i sent my ballot.

36 Chambers>Illmatic>Nation Of Millions>The Chronic>Doggy Style is my guess.

I'll sub Ready to Die for one of the Dre/Snoop albums but that looks like a fair prediction.

if the tracks ballot is staying open for another week can i send some corrections to mine?

sure. only 2 more ballots to sort.

I kinda doubt Doggystyle will crack the top 5, but I really don't know. If this were any other site Midnight Marauders would probably be #5.

boom! check ilm any second now.

shit, forgot to vote for Funky 4 + 1 on the tracks ballot. knew something was missing

i really shouldve voted in this if only to troll

oh i meant to put that in the coutndown thread oh well

feel free to troll it :D

well can i send u a singles ballot? need to get some coflow tracks in the top 100...

Sure. It'll be open till Sunday.

Where you trolling when you made your noms list, Lamp? Many of those were amongst my new favorite things when shuffling through the list... I'm abstaining from voting because I'm obviously no authority when it comes to hip-hop and I don't want to ruin the results.

lol 'ruin'. some people already voted for the last kanye album, you can't do worse than that.

I could be wrong here, but i have a feeling people are gonna complain about this list no matter what happens.

Well I'd have placed Gil Scott Heron and Rammellzee + K-Rob in my top 10, so yes, I could do worse.

whats wrong with rammellzee?

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.
