the shit gives me a rocky horror picture show vibe, like hedonism w/audience participation, and the audience is always annoying.

I wish guys like Cool Kids and Knux didn't get lumped into this shit just because blogs are hip to them.
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link
they're not getting lumped in! they'll have their own seperate poll as soon as we figure out who else to lump them in with! Whiney I know you got the goods, help me figure out the list.

nasty sex rhymes used to be one of my favorite kinds of rap, but shit's kinda been ruined by hipsters dressed like neon toddlers.

all these "artists" are "funny" right?
"oxy cottontail" is the dumbest name ever.

yeah def sounds like a rejected ilx posting name circa 2005

"The Jumpoff" by Plastic Little is quite funny the first time you hear it.

J0rdan wasn't actually here in '05, that's just how he imagines things worked back then.

Most of these guys are pretty bad, but for awhile they were bringing something new to the game, you know? I mean, now it's all a bunch of kids doing what the first guy already did, but when those first Spank Rock joints came out the club was feeling them.

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.
― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 17 April 2008 00:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I love many of these acts.

i feel like vahid when he realized justice were "real dance" but seriously in no way is her shit so offensive that it calls for that

especially from a dude who rides for cex & grand buffet
i know youre gonna get all ;_; why u cheapshot about that but for real
i dunno shit is just way obnoxious to me, the fact that it's a little slicker and gets played on MTV irritates me more than the stuff that's only on my radar because I look at blogs too much or because some herbs think Spank Rock is Baltimore club.
― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 17 April 2008 01:24 (sixteen years ago) link
and really i just hate her voice.

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.
