*hits stopwatch to time how long it takes Trife to complain about a hip-hop list that doesn't match his*

reset the stopwatch, first he's gotta say how hiphop has a shelflife and anything older than a year is ass

my fav songs with the bout it bout it beat are actually the pt iii with camron or v.i.p. squad - what the fuck, but neither were singles!!!! how does it feel being the last real nigga alive on ilm ? also thats the joint sucks, since you like m/f rap songs so much you shouldve said i got a man!!!!!!!! scenario is wack too

I was trying to
not say stuff that had been said
thanks for the props though

also my ll pick would be luv u better or g.o.a.t.

jiggling baby

how come cheesy rat blues wasnt a single, wouldnt that have been brilliant

it also wouldve saved us from scenario ha ha.....i forgot 4321 for my other ll pick

somewhat arbitrary, avoiding repeats (?) and in no particular order

you can tell about when i tuned out

1 eric b rakim - microphone fiend

16 odb - brooklyn zoo
17 bahamadia - true honey buns
18 roots - clones
19 nas - one love

braggin writes is th e worst song in history

i doubt that

i kinda shamefully like body rock though....its nice to see somebody reppin for late 90s underground!!!

trife why didn't you deliver a logistical beatdown over on the albums thread?

or is it because rap is not an album art form?

my wife is scornful:
"why didn't you put 'o.p.p.'?"
that's a good question

s trife top ten....late 90s underground edition!

big l - ebonics
peanut butter worf f charizma - world premiere
east flatbush project - tried by twelve, the original and weird idm remixes
akinyele - put it in your mouth
ditc - day one
alkaholiks - likwidation
sadat x - the lump lump
pharoahe monch - simon says (was this 2000?)
camp lo - luchini and coolie high
black eyed peas - joints and jams
the roots - what they do
dilated peoples - work the angles and triple optics
mos and tash and tip - body rock
lootpack - whenimondamic

no fucking way joints and jams is better than scenario

big ditto to east flatbush projects though

diamond i dont really wanna fuck with that albums thread that shit makes me angry.....also that other retarded one where dude is tryin to get into rap and hes feelin realness like cnn and dmx and then ilm 'heads' are like 'avoid that crap, peep this def jux bullshit and early 90s boring ass jazz rap'

like apparently hiphop is just late 80s/early 90s album-oriented 'golden age' shit and then a couple huge overplayed ryan pfork rap singles each year from the past two years.....especially if timb produced them, check it his beats is like idm!!!!!

one thing about braggin writes is that i tend to like songs where the mc's rap without breaks, see also L.L.'s 'the breakthrough', or 'microphone fiend'.
. i also like that it's just rocking the annette peacock records back and forth, compare to pacewon "i declare war" (pete moore 'shady blues'). there aren't too many records that are up to being used on their own like that.

but anyways ok i know you hate it

I seriously thought hard about putting "Simon Says" on my list, but I chickened out.

Also, Blount are you watching your boy Mike Vick on ESPN right now?

blount i was jsut fuckin with you but when theres scenario remix out there its a weird choice, joints and jams is funny and cute and i do like it better than the scenario o.g. version...im biased though i just got that record after i was into elephunk ( review in flagpole soon!!!)

FUCK - did I miss the falcons nfl yearbook?

they'll show it again though - for some reason I've seen the jags one twice already

s trife football and bballin top five!!

superbowl shuffle
lil bow wow - basketball
that ll song from any given sunday
shaq f biggie
common, jamie foxx, guru - that other song from any given sunday

Nah, it was some kind of special segment they had going in the middle of SportsCenter. It was Jaworski and him hanging out in a film room talking and looking at plays; went on for about 10 minutes or so, but I had the sound down..

yeah blah blah blah football bullshit, diamond weren t you the dude who was jockin chloe s??? s trife top five rap songs about chloe sevigny!!!

dj quik - sweet black pussy (sweet white pussy remix)

wrecx in effect - rump shaker

69 boyz - tootsie roll

harmony korine f vincent gallo and dude who directed kids - aint no fun (if the homies cant have none)

LL Cool J - "Candy" but substitute Chloe

utfo - chloe, chloe

Busta Rhymes - Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See
Missy Elliot - Get UR Freak On
EPMD - Strictly Business

tim is that really your fav hot boys song?? i mean its ok but i need a hot girl is jawdropping

I like just about every song on trife's 'late 90s's list, and just about none of his original list. Does that mean I'm a racist?

1.-20. Funky 4 + 1, "That's the Joint"

matos for everyone born after 1980 its just positive k combined with the beastie boys!!!!!

Trife it has Barry Manilow horns! "I Need A Hot Girl" is great though, but maybe because it's later on in the album I don't love it quite so much (my attention starts to flag after a while!). Unsurprisingly I also love "Respect My Mind" --> right near the beginning.

1. Shook ones
2. Hypnotise
3. Mind playing tricks
4. California Love
5. Bring da ruckus
6. Quiet Storm
7. How many licks?
8. Gin and juice
9. Without me
10.Ante up
11.Southern hospitality
12.The takeover
13.Nas is like
14.Mama said knock you out
15.Lets get dirty
16.Get off the bandwagon
17.New york state of mind
18.Looking at the front door
19.Express yourself
20.Bring the pain

that's your problem, not mine. also, positive k + beastie boys = roxor

jay-z - big pimpin
n.or.e. - nothin

*was this actually released as a single? If not, then I pick Jimmy Spicer's "Money (Dollar Bill Y'all)".

(trife: The Diplomats' third part ''Bout It, 'Bout It' thing was the first single from Diplomatic Immunity, but released a year before the album. It had a really cool video with Master P hanging out in New York and the sunny overexposed bright ghetto, people riding around on bikes, Spanish girls with shorts, spinning cameras thing.)

that just sounds like master p in the ill bee dat video!!! ohhhh dk why do you like buck 65, i only heard one song but i hated it....also i like ill be missin you a lot but do you think its better than every other puffy song?? props for including down 4 u too!!! that intro is so syrupy wonderful and i love charli b : ) also props to patrin for whutcha want and to alex for paparazzi and rappers ball and luniz

I got Buck 65 right away. It's like, all those guys in New York are, like, pretending that--- I don't know. But all of those New York guys on Anticon pretend to like rap music. They like Gangstarr, etc. And they know all the slang. They read The Source. Right? But Buck 65 is a million times more (whatever word). (I can't say 'authentic.') He raps about winning the 1993 Nova Scotia Provincial Championships in baseball (and it's mentioned in every review ['He raps about things that black people don't rap about! Do you see?']) but he means it and he's not some hoodie-wearing, Source-reading NYU guy. He's just some geeky Canadian guy--- and even though that's supposed to be the joke, it works for me, I guess. I think what I mean is, unlike, like, Aesop Rock or someone that you'd want to hear with a Just Blaze beat (but pick a better MC, I guess), he's so divorced from rap music. He's not like a smartenized version of the real thing, for NYU people to listen to. ---- And, even though people say stupid things about him, 'He can use a turntable! He is keeping the old ways alive! 50 Cent's probably never used a turntable in his life!' But, um ---- it's like when I used to read about obscure hip-hop in little blurbs in Spin and it would be like, 'This guy is crazy. He recorded it all with a fourtrack whatever and a solar panel and it's like you're hearing the truth about life' but then you got it off Napster and it was so, so boring and bad. But Buck 65 is all mumbly and he's not kidding and he doesn't care about The Source---- It's not a he-is-doing-it-the-right-way-unlike-the-people-who-sell-lots-of-records kind of thing, because. Anyways, he's cool. It's hard to like at first because he sounds retarded and you always read a bunch of reviews about how he is like William S. Burrough and he's good at baseball.

(I didn't add any breaks because I wanted to have two paragraphs. When that paragraph started to run on and on I worried about it. I've forgotten what the second paragraph is even supposed to be about.)

I was going to say 'Mo Money, Mo Problems' but I couldn't remember exactly who did it and who it was featuring and everything. But 'I'll Be Missing You' is more better because of a bunch of reasons but it's just more important to me.

alternate list!:

1. nore - superthug
2. biggie - gimme the loot
3. lil wayne & bg - high beamin
4. epmd - please listen to my demo
