What are the definitive goon cru anthems?

Say yeah
Lemme smang it
Rollin rollin rollin

???

Once compiled we should poll

Lightweight jammin

toot it & boot it

"Lightweight Jammin'" disqualified on the basis that I enjoy it

these seem fairly arbitrary so far

No they don't lex, each of these songs had their own threads devoted to them!

Al hating is a good sign its a goon cru classic but is not a defining element in the end

Factors - jordan and rev enthusiasm p key. Grady crossover potential. Big hook.

we had a long gchat convo about this once

so this is based on what three people like?

like, the goon poll but with even less people?

hmmmmm

Not exactly no

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCZ-nJ7XdmE

yeah it's at least 7 people. at least.

yall are butthurt

its about songs that a bunch of goons vocally rally around

there are only like 7 goons so if 3 or more goons make a big deal about a track, start a new thread about it, plug it in various venues ... prob goon anthem

whiney suggested '9x outta 10' and 'trap going ham.' the former i can see even tho it wasnt my fav off the lp it was rev's enthusiastic choice & lots of ppl seemed to agree, more than any other anyway. the latter makes me rmde but i guess it would be up to those who liked it more to determine if im just against the grain on that one

'watch my feet' is a good one

i remember ethan was into that mims 'this is why im hot' joint & there was enthusiasm at the time but i wonder if it has waned at all

is there a definitive gucci choice?

this is lol to say but in these terms, waka is more an 'album artist'

still want a shirt shirt

absolutely

WIPE ME DOWN

no on 'trap me goin ham'

is there even any point to including big mainstream hits like "wipe me down"

how high did that chart on billboard? i remember that being a rap hit only

not that im sure i understand why that would disqualify it anyway

idk it has its own thread -- I think that's good enough

something like "what you know" or "throw some d's' would be 'too big" tho imo

otm

ill grab me ham

whiney emailed me to insist trap going ham is an anthem lol

ill consider it if one other goon cru person steps up to rep for it itt

"Wipe Me Down" got in the top 10 of the R&B chart, got heavy rotation on every urban station in the country = pretty mainstream

it was a rap radio hit that didnt cross over. doesnt get club play in non-rap clubs, or on pop radio -- successful rap songs are perfectly legit for this thread

it was top 40 on hot 100 too. i mean it doesn't matter, i obviously don't understand this exercise, i'm just saying.

fwiw i could see crossover jams being legit for this thread too

does kreayshawn have a shot at this

2011 goon anthem "Water in the Bo"

Based goon anthem "The Age of Information"

As far as Waka goes, "Hard in da Paint" totally qualifies on the "Wipe Me Down" non-crossover clause.

more than 'love them gun sounds' or 'grove st party'?

i dunno i think he has too many

his album is like, official goon album

'water in the bo' is dope but idk doesnt have that totalizing pop appeal the rest of these do

age of info feels like it relates somehow, not sure id call it an anthem as much as the spirit animal of the entire project

a meta commentary on the hunt for goon anthems

Get Buck
Shoulder Lean
Pop The Trunk
Wont Be Right
Still Tippin
No Problem

These are shots in the dark, since I haven't been around too long and don't really know your feelings on any of these.

I think more importantly "wipe me down" wasn't a critical crossover a la the other two songs I mentioned

"shoulder lean" prob is -- we do have a lyrics thread for it

any snap songs? I wasn't around then but that is the genesis of rolling rap threads right?

i dont think the goon cru existed then though

'o i think they like me' could have been

good qn

swag surfin? would say watcha wan do is the blaqkout goon anthem, least it feels that way to me, also helped by swag me out lets flyyyYYYYY. young ready - 1 rubber is a personal fav & was on deej's mix and imo ranks among toot it & boot it, lots of ppl seemed to like andre nickatina ft. jacka - middle name is crime. also it even tho it has prob transcended goon anthem status lest we forget lemme smang it was once just a stray bullet in the barrage of deej youtubes. i like the idea of not focusing on stuff that is too heavily blogged out like trap goin ham or even ice cream paintjob (tho that 1 to a lesser extent than the former)

lmao i love this

rico tha kidd ft. db tha general - feta cheese

^^ w/ a couple timely revives think this could pick up momentum as contender for 2011 anthem, maybe too much of a novelty track/joke tho

"shoulder lean" definitely

i'd want to say "ice cream paint job"

how far back into history are we going?i think trina's "pull over" would have been

rico tha kidd ft. db tha general - feta cheese

i have never heard OF this one

fyi i never did get round to watching the "lemme smang it" video

rolling gun sounds thread

posted it a couple weeks ago to widespread acclaim

i miss half of what gets posted there because yall go on 9349322-post sprees while i'm asleep

I feel like if there is a definitive Young Dro goon anthem it's "Rubberband Banks", not "Shoulder Lean".

Speaking of him tho, I feel like "Tall" and "Ric Flair" are minor goon anthems.

make tha trap say aye

^^^^^^

"I Look Good"

"ric flair" & "i look good" are def minor goon anthems

"make tha trap say aye" def

"i look good" is v major to me

"diamonds & cadillacs"?

"wearing my rolex"

at least 1 of these

turn my swag on
gucci bandana
prety boy swag rmx

"Wearing My Rolex" is more an ILM Dahnce cru anthem. "Diamonds & Cadillacs" definitely a minor goon anthem.

"Turn My Swag On" for sure.

sauce all over me

ILM Dahnce cru anthem

lol at this

age of info feels like it relates somehow, not sure id call it an anthem as much as the spirit animal of the entire project

I be on computers profusely
Searchin' on the internet for anthems

"Sauce" otm

This may just be me & J0rdan but "Pass Out", maybe?

pop champagne (did you guys like this?)
kush is my cologne

"Pop Champagne" totally

feta cheese definitely

turn my swag on definitely

pretty boy swag remix definitely

'middle name is crime' is definitely an anthem but dunno if it's hooky enough to be a 'definite goon cru anthem'

nominate: all the way turnt up

picture me rollin (max b) ?

my personal fav jacka *party* anthem is 'glamorous lifestyle' but i dunno how well it resonates with the goons

cosigning 'get buck' too. incredible track

owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww we pop champagne

you guys got a lot of anthems

feel like plies deserves a mention even tho his songs are mostly terrible

money boy - dreh den swag auf

feel like plies deserves a mention even tho his songs are mostly terrible

"wasted" and/or "lose my mind" would include him as much as he deserves to be included imo

Yeah, both those are REAL GOON anthems.

Since the last time I checked in a lot of stuff I have no idea of got put forward. :(

oh man Jeezy isnt in the list so far

what would make it tho??

a few mentioned i disagree with. i dont think there's a consensus jacka track -- kind of agree w/ Rev about "Rubberband Banks," although my reasons are entirely musical, for some reason thats way more pro-goon sounding & i cant quite express why ... "Sauce" for sure. i dont think 'ice cream paint job' resonated enough w/ the crew, at that pt were just nominating random amateur street stuff that hits it big -- on this point tho i do agree w/ "swag surfin" for obv reasons -- lemme smang it was mentioned in the first post in thread! of spottieotties the only one i see is 'pop the trunk' which i dont like personally but i think almost every other goon was into -- 1 rubber was a lost jewel more than an anthem imo -- thinking re: quik/kurupt that quik might just be a goon album artist like waka who has too many anthems too diffusely celebrated amongst goons to have a singular contender

i think we should stick w/ stuff we've actually been 'a cru' for so that kills most of spottie's list (much of which came out right around goon cru formation) & the trina 'pull over.'

what about:

I'm So Paid
Pop Lock and Drop It remix
a bay bay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyIFOi4neHw

heres a crucial one: am0n-posted gutta bitch or my personal fav X Pill or BOTH??

'wasted' might be the gucci one, idk

oh man Jeezy isnt in the list so far

he's kind of an 'albums artist' w/ Recession the same way as you described Waka upthread imo

thats prob otm. 'put on' feels like too big of a deal to count. the only single track i could think of was maybe "vacation" or something.

icy?

bump

any additions / decisions or should i poll what we compiled now?

Say yeah
Lemme smang it
Rollin rollin rollin
Lightweight jammin
toot it & boot it
mims 'this is why im hot'
WIPE ME DOWN
swag surfin
make tha trap say aye
"I Look Good"
turn my swag on
prety boy swag rmx

kush is my cologne

"lose my mind"

"Don't Be Scared"

rock yo hips?

are there any autotune joints that are goon anthems? feel like this list is very fruity swag

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbfgYFig2Fw

I would drop max b, lose my mind, turn my swag on, kush is my cologne...those don't feel like goon anthems to me. Am I wrong?

none of em stand a chance neways

"Turn My Swag On" is a fruity swag goon jam par excellence. Do not leave out "Ice Cream Paint Job".

list is kinda whatever tbh

"ice cream paint job" is a very good song that i never really got the feeling that everyone else loved? i mean there was no push to get it represented in the year-end poll, etc, idk seems like a weird choice

i mean it's not like ppl were on this "oh man ice cream paint job, can't stop playing that" months later like we rode pill's dick that one summer

prob the best list of rap songs i have ever seen in my life

i don't remember us even talking about "ice cream paint job"

or "kush is my cologne"

yeah i remember the rev display name more than any discussion about that song

this isnt a list of songs that sound like catchy populist joints, its supposed to be stuff that as a group of posters there was some kind of zeitgeist for. 'turn my swag on' was dope & we all liked it but i feel like our enthusiasm was matched p much everywhere ... that was a crossover (& moreso than 'wipe me down' rmx)

how about "i'm a j"

a bay bay might be that too, i just threw that out there

wasnt im a j more of a noz classic -- he called that one iirc

although more for fabo than gucci haha

i remember me & rev bullshitting about it -- idk about anyone else tho

#1 classic song tho

deej today i found a CD in my car that has some of those K.E. joints (dirty redd etc) but i don't think anyone else was really fucking w/ those

i think "ric flair" needs to be on the list

is there anything jerk?

"i'm god"?

i def agree w/ ric flair. age of info is more goon cru than i'm god but i think lil b is prob more album artist like quik, jeezy, max b, etc

LOOKIN BOY

^how the fuck did we forget this?!

i thought of it but i don't think it's that good so i didn't mention it out of selfish reasons

ban

i was gonna mention at one point that "Donk" and "Lookin' Boy" are my big ringtone-ish radio jams of the last couple years that i rep instead of most of the stuff itt

oh fuck

we totally forgot "yahh!" -- one of the true OG goon anthems

everyone forgot about that song -- classic "omg best song ever" overreacgtion that evaporates 2 months later

i was playing that out for years

Soulja has so many goon anthems.

"weed & shoes" is borderline 11 goon anthem

say yeah
lemme smang it
rollin rollin rollin
toot it & boot it
swag surfin
sauce all over me
feta cheese
pretty boy swag rmx
make tha trap say aye
weed & shoes

humbly imo

+ wasted, pop champagne if u really insist

rest is unnecessary

Lightweight challop :O

even if i liked lightweight jammin i wouldnt say it was symbolic of goonessence

^doesn't be at missouri, atlanta, kansas city, portland, sea-tac

prob the best list of rap songs i have ever seen in my life

"100 dollar autograph" was an instant entry into here

def

rev's mix reminds me that jay r's "fuck'd up" is totally in this

is "i'm a vulcha" well known around here enough to count? feel like it should be on the cusp

Spotify playlist, plz.

aight i'll get on that at some point tonight

I was gonna put "I'm a Vulcha" in that mix, but the low-quality mp3 I have has barely any audible bass. :(

Party like a rock, party like a rock star. Right gang?!?!

party like a rockstar tribute thread

it's a fruity swag anthem morning!

someone make a spotify playlist

lol @ 'grady crossover potential' being a qualifier for a goon cru anthem

how does ctrl+f for "jackoff sesh" yield no results on this thread

this thread encapsulates something v real that i love about ilx

"we had a long gchat convo about this once" as a qualifier is <3

im almost sure i mustve discovered these from assorted goon cru chatter ? not sure they def fit but

goon camp - lets go party
jay r - im on it
lil mama im sorry

the jay r is like a mash-up of the two threads thread for Jay R's gorgeous, floaty fruity swag anthem "Fuck'd Up" & one of my favorite songs is "shes so fly" by grind mode

the other two nah. never heard of goon gamp & i think j0rdan was the only cruton who found riff raff really good? i liked that cloud rap track of his with action bronson & "on some jodeci shit" in the hook.

duh thx just sayin

goon camp was another of those in the vague sphere of that grind mode florida vibe scene. not ilm popular tho

lol/ew @ cruton

sad but true that the ilx rap thread era (of which i only really glimpsed the tail-end of) is kind of over? certainly seems like much less freaking out about songs/tapes anymore. what happened? i always chalked it up to deej & j0rdan getting jobs... rev just seems to listen to dance stuff now? his enthusiasm was always a huge part of getting me to check something out. deej used to just youtube bomb the thread on a near daily basis, so many nights sitting in my room high as fuck just listening to one after another after another

jimmy quit, jody got married

I also have less time for checking out music in general + don't have wifi at home now, so I've barely been keeping up with rap at all :(

And even then prob spend more of my Internet time reading articles than looking for music at this point

http://themartorialist.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/generic-list-post-myspace-edition_28.html

i never, ever posted on a rolling rap thread but i am certain ive read every word of 'em. they are super entertaining even when i dont know what's being discussed. haw.

"Might Be the Police"

never heard that hus song before

Did G-Spot Boyz 'Stanky Legg' make any waves within the goon ranks?

it's totally true

nht boyz dj is a personal all time fav at the very least

goon cru enthusiasm for nht boyz!! that was when i was trying to convince everyone that the odd future emperor had no clothes

did anyone ever make a zip file (no spotify!) of these songs, srsly i need this.

this is assuming flopson's proposed private press the vinyl is a nonstarter

any cru anthems this year? let's discuss

i feel like rae sremmurd are pretty much the father son & holy spirit

http://i.imgur.com/plmWYNs.png

lol yes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMdD1fURWnU >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> stitches

feel like a lot of people turned on stitches

I was never down to begin with

fair

i want to know about no type v no flex zone

im in the former camp obv

we did this on the other thread, there is no "v"

no love for the other side

http://open.spotify.com/user/forksclovetofu/playlist/3LDRJdH1Gr11lHTrtLFxd4

this song never really got that big and i feel like its legacy now is mainly that it was the first time most people heard K Camp, but i love it. worthy of the goon canon?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAHMVL7rraw

"YRN" might be the #1 2014 entry imo -- non-single young thug/migos track placing the EOY poll

exotica is the new stupid fruity

any luv for speaker knockerz's "Money"?

Westwood #WavyAffair @TimWestwood · Jan 24
I be in the kitchen cookin pies with my baby

kinda shocked there wasnt more goon poll consensus for fetty

i think fetty is goon cru recognized

best part of that song is how the beat doesnt drop for forever

oh sure but still, it is exceptionally fruity i mean

Made my best of the year list

'made me'

This year was p good for goonish anthems, almost makes me want to tighten the requirements

I assume keef is too "album artist" ish to qualify bc I feel like shelovesmeechie's dance video for Keef's "earned it" should be in the smithsonian

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T8akcNu9D4

Like in a lean year would "try me" make it? Maybe not

I really slept on this at the time bc i didnt like that he was stealing nHt's '80s rap swiping swag but ive since come around in a huge way

dude is swagging all over Run DMC & ends with a shout out to his dead brother, v emotional

i'm sure it's been posted before but I want to put my considerable weight behind it

thats a fat joke
sorry for the weight

are you fat now?

was this ever a cru favorite?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvh5KeZ-85A

great song. what year was it? may have pre-dated

also along those lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipvkHY9VXOM

someone fucking figure out this sample already

biggest mystery of crate digging since they figured out "Mass Appeal"

what year was it?

2006. does that make it proto-goon?

as late as like 2012 tho i heard a DJ drop it in the middle of a peaktime trap-heavy set and ppl went nuts

that DG Yola song is awesome

DG yola is proto-goon i think -- fader was really on him at the time iirc

this is a great lost goon jam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbl6t-u02BA

i've had "ice cream paint job" in my head for all week for no reason

xp- damn i had completely forgotten about that one. played it soo much back then

"big tymin" seems like it belongs here, but mozzy does not.

i honestly don't know if i can handle another Cash Money nostalgia song

you don't like big tymin???

it's ok i just feel like the "word association based on old rap star/crew" hook formula is really stale by now and there's been a bunch of Cash Money-themed one (Bankroll Fresh "Hot Boy," Jacquees "Like Baby" etc)

hmm, well i guess if there are 3 of a thing that's enough to act bored by it ;-)

idk though i feel like rap songs reference lines from classic songs all the time it would never have even occurred to me to be annoyed by it

no there are literally a million songs following that Rick Ross "MC Hammer" template, the Cash Money ones are just a plentiful subgenre

the thing about 'big tymin' is, 1) its actually good which was the problem w/ 'hot boy', and 2) it actually captures the abstract spiritual vibe of classic big tymers....also its the only song i know of that's about the big tymers, the hot boys and "like baby" aren't really the same thing

but again, al being against it is a good indicator we're on the right track for goon cru status

of course

"real tall" is so good, i loved that song

deej's post pretty much covers my feelings on "big tymin" but i'll reiterate the fact that it's actually a fuckin banger

also it has the perfect blend of homage and personal creativity, i find it completely impossible to dislike

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXdzjMO1ybo

pop a perc, and let it flow through ma body ooooooaaaaoooooooo

feeling it. suitably disturbing

Yuck

i find that pretty unlistenable musically and i can't tell if it's intentional 'dad email forward' parody or not

We gotta tighten up this playlist for the last x years
