MARLEY MARL'S HOUSE OF HITS POLL

"Ain't No Half Steppin'" over "The Symphony" & "Poison". All great, obv.

"Eric B. for President," which is kind of a ringer in terms of how the Juice Crew is generally thought of historically, but fuggit. And yes, all great.

I dunno, I tend to prefer his less skeletal, later stuff. If this had "Mama Said Knock You Out", I'd vote for that in a heartbeat.

ma-ma-ma-make 'em make 'em clap to dis

Also, "Eric B. Is President" isn't really one of my favorite EB&R songs, and I prefer Kane when he's on fire to Rakim when he's on fire, even though the latter is much more consistent.

I should have probably re-listened some before I voted; "EBFP" came to mind more immediately. I actually like Kane more as a lyricist too.

otm re: consistency vs. fire

will ethan vote for chief rocker???

i voted half steppin

Symphony

Matos: I wouldn't even say I prefer Kane as a lyricist (I can't think of anything he's done that matches, say, "Follow the Leader" in that department), but as a performer.

actually i vote CNN :p

VERY HARD. but no wai 'eric b for president'.

Symphony II

Yes, I am a heretic.

Also, I swear that I didn't see this before I started my Symphony II poll, I was just walking around all afternoon with that song on repeat is what happened. Totally by coincidence. OR FATE!

I can't recall if I've mentioned it before around here, but I had this idea that the members of the Juice Crew could be correlated to the members of the Wu.

BDK=Method Man - hardocre, but with a weakness for loverman ballads
Biz=ODB - the really bugged out one
Marley=RZA - the producer who sometimes raps but really shouldn't
Kool G Rap= Raekwon - the one with the real-seeming gangster/drug stories
Craig G=GZA - basic no-gimmick flow, but really polished and to the point
Master Ace= Ghostface - the more thoughtful one, underrated at first but eventually the longest lasting and fan favorite

It's kind of a stretch and falls way apart after that, but fuck it.

voted for "Just Rhymin' With Biz" to show it some love, although "aint no half stepppin'" is probly the best of the bunch

lol you were real hi huh xpost

Gee, what gave you that idea?

:D :D :D

BDK=Method Man - hardocre, but with a weakness for loverman ballads

lol you've never listened to method man obv.

Forcing corollaries to Wu-Tang members is a yawnsome thing to do.

> lol you've never listened to method man obv.

Shall I YSI "All I Need" smart guy?

> Forcing corollaries to Wu-Tang members is a yawnsome thing to do.

Not quite as yawnsome back in 95, the way I remember it.

Using "All I Need" in support an argument of weakness is proving the other guy right, you know. (xp)

Oh, well in that case U OLD.

1 - I don't think you understand what I mean by 'a weakness' here.

2 - No shit. Fetch me my slippers!

All this time and no mention of the greatest rapper of all-time, Roxanne Shanté? This is a man's world.

eh 1 track about meth's boo /= "weakness for loverman ballads" when ghostface does 3 or 4 per album and they even sound ballad-y sometimes

so no ones gonna vote the bridge or vapors????

I kinda wanted to vote "Vapors" but "Symphony" supercedes all.

fuck it i vote 'raw'

'droppin science'. but it was close.

this album BLEW MY MIND when i was 17.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

no one likes "the bridge"?!?! my 5 year old son loves singing along to that one in the car. he's even made up remix versions in the house, such as "the cat...the the the the cat the cat".

All this time and no mention of the greatest rapper of all-time, Roxanne Shanté? This is a man's world.

There may only be two or three hundred people in the world who love Shante more than me, but she's hardly outshining the competition on this.

This damn comp's been on my Slsk wishlist for fucking ages.

Although looking at the tracklist I probably have most of it already.

I will vote for MC Shan.

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

7. Poison - Kool G Rap/DJ Polo 0
11. Set It Off - Big Daddy Kane 0
5. Make The Music With Your Mouth, Biz - Biz Markie 0
14. Music Man - Masta Ace 0
15. Chief Rocker - Lords Of The Underground 0

kill

didn't know any of these well enough to vote 'em, except 'chief rocker' but eeeh

There may only be two or three hundred people in the world who love Shante more than me, but she's hardly outshining the competition on this.

Clearly, I am one of them because I KNOW she smokes ALL competition. There's no ifs, no ands, no buts, or suppose.

"Roxanne's Revenge" is, like, the tenth best song here, if even that.

'music man' and 'make the music with your mouth' were my second and third choices...

damn it feels good to see people up on it
