wtf kinda reasoning is this?

what you know

"What You Know" is totally poetic.

i know all abt that

fwiw i think they're both in the same key and have the same tempo

Both bangers, but T.I. ftw surely.

What you know is almost elegant in its grandeur

and hasn't inspired as many lame derivative beats

2 years of bad "what you know" knockoffs have helped to dull its impact, at least for me, is all i'm saying.

WYK is mixed really badly

must represent this TN

"what you know" knockoffs

Name one.

"I Luv It," "Whatever You Like," and "Can't Tell Me Nothing" are the big 3 that come to mind, but I'm sure there are a lot of album cuts I've forgotten already.

the danja rip at the end of t.i. vs. t.i.p. is pretty awesome

yeah all 3 of Danja's tracks were the keepers from that album

Stay High

"Stay Fly" is plenty dope but "What You Know" is the best single of this decade so far.

wtf why didnt both images work? they were there this morning

it feels wrong to vote anything over "stay fly" but "what you know" takes it

i feel like pplz votes on this are revealing something deep about them but i dunno what

stay fly for me

i ain't even voted yet that was just a declamatory post but now that i'm about to vote shiiit this is hard

i feel like pplz votes on this are revealing something deep about them but i dunno what

what is this bullshit stance you all are taking like "what you know" voters are voting for "ice ice baby" or something

roll through the ghetto pumpin ice ice baby / think i give a fuck? its better than the shit i heard lately

naw fuck it you know what i vote stay fly

^^peer pressure

look man i been down 4 tip since trap muzik and was atl-livin when what u know dropped so i got a better sense of the impact than probly anybody else on this thread but 1) shipleys right theres been too many shitty synthy EPIC trax since then that dulled the impact and 2) its cool for you if youre more into 00s rap ish but despite first-class rappin by t.i. what u know feels like it fits more into some kinda 06 timbo/will.i.am hip-house world whereas stay fly is a str8 up ruffneck jam like a 05 memphis version of d&d allstars or whatever and for me thats preferable

xp sarge here's the inner monologue

hoos: "fresh out the jet to the jects where the gs at" is a hot line
steendriver: yeah a hot line about getting off his private jet to go hang out with his less fortunate bros wtf dogg why doesn't he like DO something about the conditions in the hood instead of just kickin it with old homies
hoos: wtf is he gonna do, sell his jet and start throwing the money off of rooftops stfu
steendriver: i mean that kind of self-aggrandizement put next to stark class diff is gross is all i'm sayin like maybe there's some classism going on
hoos: motherfucker this is rap music and u butthurt about self-aggrandizement fuk u i vote stay fly

nah i feel you -- i mean this is a good poll because you can love both songs but still take a definitive stand based on style/vibe whatever. for me like, idk the first time i heard "stay fly" the greatness hit be but i didn't immediately think it was the best three 6 song ever (for right now idk even know if it's definitely better than "poppin my collar" even) but the first time i heard "what you know" it was like real next-next level for me. it's hard to make a decision listening now cuz i think both of these are played out to an extent so i'm just going on when both songs were still fresh to me

"i think both of these are played out to an extent" meaning "i love them both but i've heard them so many times"

also "what u know" feels like i'm supposed to sit back and appreciate it "daaaaaaaamn this is epic massive shit" whereas "stay fly" sounds like i'm supposed to ENJOY it

i dunno i cant imagine playing what u know ever again but i just bumped stay fly on a 3-6 mix the other morning and hit rewind on that shit, never gets old

no matter what >>> what u know

chall-t.i.ps

thats basically how i play it out to an extent

"fresh out the jet to the jects where the gs at" is a hot line

C'mon, this is all that needs to be said.

live your life >>> no matter what fwiw

i hope you can "live your life" with the suggest ban i just gave you

hoos you are making no sense on this thread

hoos: motherfucker this is rap music and u butthurt about self-aggrandizement fuk u i vote stay fly

^^what is this

that is me laying the smack down on my conscience for worrying about egoism in rap by voting for a party track that doesn't give a fuck what i think of it

hoos slowly turns into luriqua before our eyes

my conscience is white btw

if it aint srs classism then there shld be srs self-aggrandizement this is how i judge music

if you rap about egalitarianism and don't big up uself fuck you

lol wut

i voted stay fly -- just love that beat so much.

prem
ro
fulla that dro

no matter what >>> what u know

chall-t.i.ps

T.I. SINGLES

there really aren't many sounds better than t.i.'s voice on 'what you know'

after serious consideration, yo drank gon get drunk up

i dunno i cant imagine playing what u know ever again but i just bumped stay fly on a 3-6 mix the other morning and hit rewind on that shit, never gets old

lol

DJ PAUL IS A DOG ONE YOU DO NOT TRUST

Stay Fly, but it's pretty fucking close.

Stay Fly
swear we did this alread

im making a mental list of what u know voters and completely ignoring everything they say ever from now on

why not just write it down--you might forget

well i can always refer back to the thread right

dunno man seems like a lot of trouble

yah but what should i do like keep the list on a postit stuck to my monitor or...

seems like the most sensible thing? or add it to your iphone?

You could tattoo it on your hand, maybe.

yah i mean if i kept it digitally id have to always be opening it then looking at ilx then looking at it to make sure i dont accidentally pay any attention to anyone on the list - i know its kinda anachronistic but i think im just going to memorize it

ill prob write it down as part of the memorization process tho

u wanna know some real postmodern snake eating its own tail shit - in order to truly not pay attention to anyone on the list u will have to constantly pay attention to them

use a fucking sharpie

or your own blood

on what? your computer screen?

seems impractical

yah haha true still i feel like if i cant ignore them its important that i at the v least discount their opinions completely

is killfile still out there? you may wanna look into that

seems overly complex

voted stay fly because it's had more impact on my LIFE

fairly likely i will stay fly til i die, still not sure what i know about that

i know all about that

personally

to be fair, it is unlikely i will stay high til i die

i would elaborate but i'm getting dangerously into custos territory here

this is way harder than I thought but I already voted for "What You Know"

MJG murders

voted stay fly on gut reaction, but now what you know is stuck in my head

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

bump

I'm going Stay Fly. Duh, both are awesome, but this beat just fucking killllls me. It, like, forces me to dance.

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