I'm also pulling for Elevators, which is their most singular track. Who else could have possibly conceived of it?― voodoo chili, Friday, June 13, 2014 2:40 PM (2 hours ago) Bookmark

― Strictly EZ Snappin' Nhex (Spottie), Friday, 13 June 2014 21:24 (ten years ago) link
thanks for the thanks, all! This was a fun poll to run.
'Kast is probably my favorite music act when all is said and done. Changed the way I listened to music when I first heard ATLiens in 96. Started paying attention to detail in sound and overall production. Still consider it a top 5 sounding hip hop album. Put me down a totally different music listening path than I was on. Opened me up to the world of southern rap.

tbf the top 50 makes up like a third of their whole catalog (and a good number of the rest is skits/interludes) so it's prob kinda hard to vote for too many songs that didn't place, even when i kinda willfully avoided some singles and popular songs.

Actually kind of surprised "Watch for the Hook" didn't place. I thought that was regarded as an all-time great posse cut, and Dre and Big Boi have pretty awesome verses on it.
― intheblanks, Friday, 13 June 2014 21:58 (ten years ago) link
I didn't vote for it, but I was also surprised that "The Whole World" didn't end up somewhere on this list.
― intheblanks, Friday, 13 June 2014 21:59 (ten years ago) link
yeah i'm curious where non-placing singles like Whole World, Watch For The Hook, Roses, everything from Idlewild, etc. placed.

don't really care for it. don't much like any of their stuff that isn't straight up rap.

yeah it's obv not "Hey Ya!" or anything but in general i don't really care about the meandering funk homage stuff like "Stankonia (Stanklove)" either.

Not sure we could get enough participation on that one. Most of the goons don't do polls.
― Strictly EZ Snappin' Nhex (Spottie), Tuesday, 8 July 2014 18:10 (ten years ago) link
the diametric opposite of traditional rap: vulnerable, expressive, and willing to explore new things.
These were the kind of questions that The Love Below brought about—questions about what constituted “real rap,” and whether emotionality and exploration could exist within that conception.
Yeesh
