Can I just vote for that image?

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 13 March 2008 15:58 (eighteen years ago)

I tend to think of "Oh Boy" as being the better of the two, but at the moment I'd much rather listen to "Hey Ma."

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 13 March 2008 16:08 (eighteen years ago)

'hey ma'

― deej, Thursday, 13 March 2008 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

difficult one tho

― deej, Thursday, 13 March 2008 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

me too

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 13 March 2008 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

oh good!

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 13 March 2008 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

i think 'oh boy' has the best moment (beat leading into "JUST BLAZE"-- really fun to shout out, tho inevitably at the wrong time), but i'm voting hey ma, which is nearly perfect as far as a pop song goes imo. two good to great verses, great hook, awesome outro

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 13 March 2008 17:16 (eighteen years ago)

"perfect pop"

― and what, Thursday, 13 March 2008 17:30 (eighteen years ago)

i vote what means the world to me

― and what, Thursday, 13 March 2008 17:30 (eighteen years ago)

yah well the remix would romp this poll so i didn't include it

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 13 March 2008 17:33 (eighteen years ago)

or should romp this poll rather

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 13 March 2008 17:33 (eighteen years ago)

I can't help but always wonder why Cam's hands look 100 years old when I see this picture. They always stand out to me.

I think I'll go with Hey Ma.

― matt2, Thursday, 13 March 2008 17:35 (eighteen years ago)

"Hey Ma", great song

― Euler, Thursday, 13 March 2008 21:23 (eighteen years ago)

"Hey Ma" all day long. One of my top 5 favorite singles of the 00's.

― will, Thursday, 13 March 2008 21:49 (eighteen years ago)

"Oh Boy". Production is great.

― Bodrick III, Thursday, 13 March 2008 21:53 (eighteen years ago)

oh boy

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:07 (eighteen years ago)

um, "oh boy". durrrr. one of the best beats ever. "hey ma" is good but it's no on the same level.

― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:07 (eighteen years ago)

why am I not surprised that deej voted for hey ma lolol.

― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:08 (eighteen years ago)

i enjoy deej's contrarianism tho.

― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:09 (eighteen years ago)

i love just blaze, but like the beat on hey ma better. so happy!

― Jordan, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:11 (eighteen years ago)

'hey ma' is contrarianism?

― deej, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:12 (eighteen years ago)

well, "oh boy" is kind of the obvious answer here.. but it's just a general trend i've noticed. EMBRACE IT!!

― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:13 (eighteen years ago)

?????????? they were both huge hits

― deej, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:14 (eighteen years ago)

i know that.

― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:15 (eighteen years ago)

uh how is deej being contrarian if 6 ppl on this thread have repped hey ma so far and only 3 are saying oh boy

― max, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:20 (eighteen years ago)

UGH FORGET IT GEESH.

― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:21 (eighteen years ago)

brainwasher can't catch a break today

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:21 (eighteen years ago)

i am repping "hey ma"...."oh boy" is too Roc posse/album cut to me to stack up against "Hey Ma" which is just classic

― Preview of the Matrix 12, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:22 (eighteen years ago)

that made so little sense but fuck it

― Preview of the Matrix 12, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:25 (eighteen years ago)

"romp" this "poll"

― M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:27 (eighteen years ago)

i had to vote oh boy because i never get sick of any song that uses that little trick of repeating a sample of one word to end lines of the rap. it's the best!!

― M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 13 March 2008 22:35 (eighteen years ago)

yes that is quite a trick:

never gets old! i think "breathe" by fab is my favorite example of the minigenre

― M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 13 March 2008 23:09 (eighteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― ILX System, Friday, 14 March 2008 00:01 (eighteen years ago)

At some point I was convinced "Oh Boy" was the future.

― The Reverend, Friday, 14 March 2008 02:51 (eighteen years ago)

(In a way it kind of was, but that's beside the point)

― The Reverend, Friday, 14 March 2008 02:51 (eighteen years ago)

Or actually, no it wasn't the future at all, more like the last great late-90s NY jam.

― The Reverend, Friday, 14 March 2008 02:52 (eighteen years ago)

(unless I'm forgetting one that came after......does "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" count? who cares)

― The Reverend, Friday, 14 March 2008 02:53 (eighteen years ago)

lean back?

― J0rdan S., Friday, 14 March 2008 02:54 (eighteen years ago)

naw, "Lean Back" could only exist in the 2000s

― The Reverend, Friday, 14 March 2008 02:55 (eighteen years ago)

speaking of late 90s ny jams

― The Reverend, Friday, 14 March 2008 02:56 (eighteen years ago)

i just realized the outro on 'hey ma' where they're cutting up the voices sounds like s ugar ray

― J0rdan S., Friday, 14 March 2008 03:15 (eighteen years ago)

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

― ILX System, Saturday, 15 March 2008 00:01 (eighteen years ago)

― J0rdan S., Saturday, 15 March 2008 00:39 (eighteen years ago)

i could easily vote 'oh boy'. theyre both hot

'oh boy' sounds like the beginnings of the 00s era roc sound to me, which it kind of was

― deej, Saturday, 15 March 2008 01:43 (eighteen years ago)

The Blueprint, surely, or hell, even some of the stuff on The Dynasty, probably the second Beans album, though I haven't heard it.

― The Reverend, Saturday, 15 March 2008 02:10 (eighteen years ago)

dynasty was, like, ground zero, i didnt mean to imply it was the originator

just that the sound of it was some early just blaze shit

― deej, Saturday, 15 March 2008 02:26 (eighteen years ago)

also, drop it.

-- The Brainwasher, Saturday, March 15, 2008 12:33 AM

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 15 March 2008 02:31 (eighteen years ago)

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 April 2010 06:58 (sixteen years ago)

i'll fall over & die if there's rapping as good as cam's last verse in "oh boy" on a top 5 hot 100 rap song in the next two years

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 April 2010 07:09 (sixteen years ago)
