Shit mid 2000s sexy-sexy whiteboy and/or non-white and/or non-boy sex rhyming with sex and awful music poll

apologies for forgetting to include an "other" option, I'm sure there's more.

Voted Plastic Little because although they suck (especially that tune with the Cure sample), they did this poster, which is probably my favourite band advert of the past decade:

Amanda Blank

^^^kind of a nadir of 2000s music

I wasn't even sure if the directive with these was to vote for best or worst

Fuggit, I like Kid Sister. "Pro Nails" is a jam. I like the track with Count & Sinden, too. The only other of these I've heard is Spank Rock and my god are they embarrassing.

i feel old

i like kid sister too tho i only heard 2 songs

where is MIA? uffie?

I admitted on the other thread that forgetting Uffie was a big mistake. including MIA would've been just too easy a way to rile people up, though, and besides as far as i know she doesn't rap about sex. does she even rap?

x-lover
mickey avalon
that short chick who jay-z signed and everyone was hyping but no one listened to

'Rick Rubin' by Spank Rock is a classic for the ages.

i can't tell if gear means lady sovereign or lil mama

voted kid sister w/ a bigger shrug than the other poll got even. in all honesty would've voted uffie.

valuable resource for this thread

lady sovereign xpost

haha at first I thought gear meant samantha ronson.

i forgot about her!

steve aoki

lol samantha ronson

i don't think this kind of music is for me

it's not just you, dude

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.

what hath spank rock wrought?

your birthday party playlist?

i hate even thinking about it cuz i feel like i'm just being a grumpy fun-hater, but man, i dunno. it just seems like it sucks really bad. but i don't even want to think about it, there's no good way to describe how it sucks w/o seeming like a grouch (and zion i)

heard OF spank rock but the rest of these names are news to me

it's not the fun I hate, it's the people who are having it

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

there is so much of this music now you cant really contain it in a poll

^^ sadly yes

I mean I completely forgot most of the acts mentioned in this thread: gravy train!!!, da hawnay troof, & similar outfits

this type of shit dominates half of the l.a. music venues these days. and every single music fest i can think of is top-heavy with this and dj acts that cop a similar style.

turn down the fucking treble

i guess i am blissfully ignorant of most of this.

is it "electrosoul"?

this stuff: goofy, electrosoul: corny, all of it: raaaaacccciiiiisssstttt

its all loldancefunky instead of being like actually dancefunky

jordan have you heard midnite vultures?

electrosoul is serious music!!!

not good mind you

yeah, i don't really like most of midnite vultures, but i saw live thing on tv once and he had a good band behind it.

jordan have you heard midnite vultures?

shall we start the nominations for the Shit late 1990s sexy-sexy whiteboy sex rhyming with sex and awful music poll?

"Kim"

imani coppola?

next poll thread may have to be about shitty gold chain/high top fade retro hipster rap like Cool Kids and The Knux that gets posted on Nah Right every hour on the hour these days

i liked that spank rock album. not that i played it more than twice, but that's one more time than most things i get in the mail. i did not like that chromeo album though. um, not that anyone was talking about chromeo. i've never heard the rest of this stuff. i don't feel like i'm missing much. kinda like all the electroclash stuff i never heard. hey, i bought a chicks on speed album. i did my time.

"turn down the fucking treble"

thi goes for all that justice-y stuff. ouch! that shit hurts my ears big time.

yes

ok, who else is there, cause that's all i've got. and do Gym Class Heroes count?

: ( I like the Knux

kids in the hall seem more like just preppy not like cool kids.

i didn't mind what i've heard of the knux.

gym class heroes are emo aren't they?

whatever happened to the ugly ducklings? what a snooze.

cant we just poll the Urb "Next 100"

lol i've actually heard a very sincere, nearly heated platinum pete vs lil wayne argument/conversation at an (awesome clearly) afterparty.

xpost - where does mc chris fall in this?

in the "nerdcore" poll

terrible music genres poll

lol is there a simon reynolds poll?

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.

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.

you can even decide what modifier to put in the subject line instead of "shit/awful"

would the pack fit in w/them?

i think they belong in the "rappers whose grills make them lisp like they're wearing braces" poll with Yung Berg

Alex in Polltimore

i'm on a rolltimore

Da Hawnay Troof

Gravy Train!

^^^ this

i remember thinking i was the mack for fucking with luke and too short back when the average white head was some pipecock herb who took illmatic too seriously but now im like digging out the okayplayer shit just to get away from these dudes

i dont actually okayplayer so maybe theyre all about spankrock now but yall know what i mean

i guess kid sister is technically hipster rap but shes like goofy materialist kanye west style not peaches style talentless sex jams that dont bang

current okayplayer headline...all is right w/the world:

Okayplayer News 04.02.08
02 Apr 2008
Rhymefest Defender, Black Lily Film Fest II, Badu @ WMC, Wyclef X Lupe, US Dizzee w/ EL-P, Atmosphere Guarantees.

i'd have voted for that benny blanco dude but i'll go for amanda blank

i haven't heard a note by anyone in this poll tho

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.

wait we can reject posting names??

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.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

RIP xp

RIP ILX System

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

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.

I love many of these acts.

al shipley why is kid sister "horrific"?

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.

and really i just hate her voice.

i think its fun but diffr'nt strokes :D

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.
