http://rap-mixtapez.blogspot.com/2010/01/gucci-mane-young-jeezy-keyz-to-city.html

i recognize some of the track names but not all

lot of this is suspect

i keep a shooter with a ruger that'll put the metal to ya
wanna swim with the sharks, stringrays and barracudas?
black nikes on my feet so just do it, i'mma do ya
i jump out of the helicopter like a paratrooper
double deuce in my nike boots i'mma tell the truth
if you move ? from your crew, i'mma cock and shoot
balley bag full of stacks, louis bag full of thrax
gucci bag full of gats and i'mma aim for your hat
? competitors like predator take ? like skeletons?
you're ? gonna be therapy or medicine i'm tellin ya
you beef with brick squad then you better be intelligent
i'll send one for your men and i got ex-cons in connecticut
my bitches do not meddle and my niggas bring that metal in
and if i cannot catch him then i knock off one your relatives
better chill, better live, better than you'll ever live
when ya live in the everglades trying to get a deal, gucci.

the everglades & connecticut

so is this tape actually jeezy & gucci? havent heard jeezy yet

wow look at all those critics who are hyping up gucci!! hes so overrated! hes more of a critical phenomenon than a popular one!

meanwhile, whiney's rap albums hew closer to rock critic nerd critical consensus than anyone in the above 'list'

lol @ that list btw

our neverending nightmare

between that list & the electrik red one it's like 40% ilx, 50% my aim buddy list & 10% people who read so many shrimp

it doesnt help that tim didnt do a ballot this year!! lol

im also the only one who voted for rinse 10

there are other ppl not from your aim buddy list who voted for the actual album, one dude who voted for 'ea sportscenter' which is over a year old, and noz & someone else voted for 'writings on the wall'

that dude who voted for EA sportscenter writes for, lol, cokemachineglow

can someone explain to me how s0derberg, the dude partly responsible for the annoying gucci backlash from ppl who think gucci fans are racist ironicist overintellectualizers, ended up voting for no gucci albums

and for blueprint 3

me & him we're the only two to vote for "first day out"

i woulda but went w/ lemonade

i wish i hadnt voted for 'pleazure' tbh, altho its a decent song

I voted for "Lemonade"—one of only three votes for the song. I nearly voted for the album, too.

can't believe how many people voted for "shine blockas" -- i think it's a great song but i'm surprised that it held its consensus longer than "roayl flush"

i told you it was overrated before it even was :D

Also, I'm still kind of shocked "Empire State of Mind" WON THE SINGLES POLL. WTF.

At least "My Girls" didn't win, which was my fear.

yeah, i'll drink to that

"Royal Flush" came out at the beginning of the year and ppl had time to forget about it. Also "Shine Blockas" is a better song even if it doesn't have any rapping as good as Rae's verse from "Royal Flush".

I thought "Royal Flush" technically was "released" in 2008, i.e. was leaked to the internets then?

it was -- i think the 12" actually dropped in 08

yeah-- i'm not saying that people should've been voting for it this year (or even at all)-- but that both "royal flush" and "shine blockas" garnered immediate OMFG reactions & i'm just puzzled that "shine blockas" actually kept it going to the point that it became so critically acclaimed in polls like this with pretty much 0 promotion. i think big boi made a video in reaction to it.

i think his song with too short from this year is way better regardless

naw, I meant "Royal Flush" was released early in 08

fukkin Michael Azerrad voted for shine blockas. that says all you need to know

who is that

Sorry Deej i forgot about it and then missed the deadline. FTR though I might not have ended up voting for Burrrprint 3D in my top 10 - it usually comes in around 10 or 11 on my list from memory.

Deej I love that you voted for that Sneaky Sound System remix.

haha well someone had to

i'm confused about "shine blockas" too, i mean i really like it but...not the best of anything.

between that list & the electrik red one it's like 40% ilx, 50% my aim buddy list & 10% people who read so many shrimp

it's sort of depressing how small an impact our obvious consensus picks really have

also "soldier" is amazing

i dunno, lex, the consensus around the-dream seems pretty ilm-spawned, it just took a couple years to mushroom outwards. that does point to ilm-consensus as being slower to penetrate the larger crit-world than, say, p4k-consensus, but duh a lot more people read pitchfork than read ilm

ppl hate azzerad? cuz i fuckin' love that book, super inspiring stories in there.

no but who thinks he identifies great rap singles

shine blockas rox u r all gay

i remain v skeptical about The-Dream hype being ilm-spawned -- basically he triangulates a lot of things (moderately popular as an artist but big time producer/writer, weird/bad singing voice, idiosyncratic auteur vibe, multi-song suites and concept-y albums) that were always going to mark him as way more indie/critic-friendly than the overwhelming majority of mainstream R&B.

its not ilm spawned ilm were just early adapters (well the 8 of us who paid attention to him around the 1st album anyway)
