I admitted on the other thread that forgetting Uffie was a big mistake. including MIA would've been just too easy a way to rile people up, though, and besides as far as i know she doesn't rap about sex. does she even rap?

i liked that spank rock album. not that i played it more than twice, but that's one more time than most things i get in the mail. i did not like that chromeo album though. um, not that anyone was talking about chromeo. i've never heard the rest of this stuff. i don't feel like i'm missing much. kinda like all the electroclash stuff i never heard. hey, i bought a chicks on speed album. i did my time.

Kid Sister is horrific, but then i was never really clear on whether we were voting for the best or worst, so i'm not sure if i'm mad she won. i voted for Pase Rock just because i think it's hilarious that Spank Rock would have a copycat buddy with almost the same name, and that disgusting video w/ lindsay lohan's talking vagina was kind of funny.

I don't think Spank Rock is "real" Baltimore club but "Bump" is a great track. Amanda Blank is great in many ways - her rapping "live" is much better than the more subdued recordings and I *really* like her new "sung" tracks - really beautiful actually. "Pro Nails" is a GREAT track, not sure how just the music itself can be "horrific". Maybe there's something annoying in her cred or whatever (and that kind of thing sometimes affects me), but I don't understand it.

Yelle, who is also GREAT, should probably be in this discussion too.
