again I can't really argue with their #1 but look forward to hearing abt your favorites

― corrs unplugged, Monday, 25 July 2022 08:31 (three years ago)

Maybe Brother D.
I'm actually just waiting for 1981 to vote for Dancing Heart.

― Nabozo, Monday, 25 July 2022 08:35 (three years ago)

Couldn't find it on Spotify but the title is intriguing

But, before I continue just let me say
This is not my ego soup
I sat down and thought, and I wrote this verse
In the interest, of the group

― corrs unplugged, Monday, 25 July 2022 09:53 (three years ago)

Always had a soft spot for Rhapazooty in Blue, as well as the sweet funky electric piano on Zulu Nation Throwdown pt2

― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Monday, 25 July 2022 12:19 (three years ago)

hehe Rhapazooty In Blue is a lot of fun, sounds home made

seems to actually be from 1979 perhaps?

for future reference we already polled Ego Trip's Rap Singles 1979

― corrs unplugged, Monday, 25 July 2022 12:33 (three years ago)

8th wonder is a personal fave, so much joy

― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Monday, 25 July 2022 13:48 (three years ago)

vc otm — "8th wonder" my gut pick. will listen before voting though.

― "Why is the voice of reason treated as the unreliable narrator?", asked (Austin), Monday, 25 July 2022 14:09 (three years ago)

I'd have to hear a couple of these again, but Treacherous Three's "New Rap Language" is awesome.

― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 25 July 2022 15:02 (three years ago)

all these songs are so long

― symsymsym, Monday, 25 July 2022 15:09 (three years ago)

Willie Rap

― Bait Kush (Eric H.), Monday, 25 July 2022 15:09 (three years ago)

Treacherous Three's "New Rap Language" is awesome

hard to believe Kool Moe Dee was rapping like that in 1980, way ahead of his time

― symsymsym, Monday, 25 July 2022 15:23 (three years ago)

“The Adventures of Super Rhymes” is one of my all-time favorite songs, voting for that. I don’t know what my favorite part is: Supe rapping as soon as he came out his mother’s womb? The disco-dancing Dracula vampire that can’t get into Studio 54? Aladdin getting his three wishes and investing money “into an oil WELL”? The “this DJ he gets down” chant that Warren G stole for “What’s N-X-E-T”? That song is my jam!

― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 25 July 2022 21:57 (three years ago)

This one’s going to hard. I think I heard all of these when I went on an old school rap binge about 9 years ago, but I’ll have to re-listen to some before voting.

― F'kin Magnetometers, how do they work? (President Keyes), Tuesday, 26 July 2022 00:20 (three years ago)

Superrappin is such an incredible jam, would love to hear more like this

― frogbs, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 00:49 (three years ago)

the beat in "New Rap Language" is so funky, has that dusty sound

flow impeccable

― corrs unplugged, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 07:54 (three years ago)

but yeah average runtime around 7 mins probably

― corrs unplugged, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 07:54 (three years ago)

Oh man, I can't wait for 1981. Obviously it's going to come down to "Ant Rap" and "Der Kommissar". Has a genre ever emerged from the underground into the mainstream and peaked so hard, so quickly?

― Ashley Pomeroy, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 20:41 (three years ago)

baby shark iirc

― "Why is the voice of reason treated as the unreliable narrator?", asked (Austin), Tuesday, 26 July 2022 22:19 (three years ago)

xp I gather that post was meant ironically, it took at least a decade for rap to establish itself as more than a novelty genre in mainstream media, many crossover hits along the way, and it was far from peaking commercially in the early 80s

― corrs unplugged, Wednesday, 27 July 2022 08:35 (three years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Sunday, 31 July 2022 00:01 (three years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Monday, 1 August 2022 00:01 (three years ago)

Decent turnout, not too surprising results

3 votes for Spoonie, vote splitting... 8th wonder indeed a joy

it only gets tougher in Ego Trip's Rap Singles 1981

― corrs unplugged, Monday, 1 August 2022 11:06 (three years ago)

Not on the list: one of the worst songs ever recorded. A total amateur in a ridiculous accent tries this new thing called rap music.

She’s so bad she ends up rapping off the beat in a couple spots.

― Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 9 August 2022 14:28 (three years ago)

haha that is super weird
