President Keyes, Thursday, 15 April 2010 11:17 (fifteen years ago)

voted for "Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz, and Benz" because i've heard it on the radio twice in the past few days and really enjoyed it

I won't vote for you unless you acknowledge my magic pony (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 15 April 2010 18:43 (fifteen years ago)

inclined to take the Luniz over the Wu stuff here, honestly

I won't vote for you unless you acknowledge my magic pony (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 15 April 2010 18:43 (fifteen years ago)

^ Have to vote for this, but damn what a list! "East 1999", "I Got 5 on It", "Last Dayz", "Throw Your Set in the Air", "Cold World", "How High", "1st of the Month", these are all among my favourite rap tunes of the 90s.

Tuomas, Thursday, 15 April 2010 18:49 (fifteen years ago)

I never understood people who prefer Smif-n-Wessun over Heltah Skeltah, Ruck & Rock simply have more personality, and they're funnier too.

Tuomas, Thursday, 15 April 2010 18:58 (fifteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

you like Onyx and you hate the Beatles? I find your views provocative and would like to subscribe to your newsletter

because https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhjOJWf1Qi8 is one of the ten greatest singles of all time?

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 23:46 (fifteen years ago)

i don't hate the beatles! i hate the record that had something and maxwells silver hammer and i want you on it. there is a difference.

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 23:47 (fifteen years ago)

but srs, i don't think the beatles ever made anything as good as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1ThxWzkELk

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 23:47 (fifteen years ago)

paperback writer, day tripper, we can work it out and i feel fine maybe.

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 23:48 (fifteen years ago)

nah i'd take https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQmfzGf9904 over any beatles song, who am i kidding?

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 23:49 (fifteen years ago)

I really want to shit in your cornflakes for dissing "I Want You"

john, paul, george, gang (The Reverend), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 07:34 (fifteen years ago)

i voted for "i got 5 on it"

shipley and him (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 07:40 (fifteen years ago)

Sam, have you heard the new version of "Last Dayz" Onyx did with Dead Prez? I think it's even better than the original:

really? I don't hear anything in it other than the Beatles pissing about, knowing that because they are the impeachable off-their-tits beatles, they can do any old shit and get it praised. The Eddie Hazel cover version, sure, but the original?

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:29 (fifteen years ago)

also cheers tuo, never heard that before. lol at name dropping the anarchist cookbook. sticky fingaz really is one of the 5 most underrated mcs.

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:30 (fifteen years ago)

It's probably my favorite Beatles song.

john, paul, george, gang (The Reverend), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:37 (fifteen years ago)

i kinda love the ilx consensus about the brilliance of broken language, i first heard the song because of an ILM poll thread

symsymsym, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:43 (fifteen years ago)

BROKEN LANGUAGE POLL

john, paul, george, gang (The Reverend), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:44 (fifteen years ago)

I once got to play it for a roomful of ILX types who had never heard it. I recall Mackro Mackro literally falling on his side laughing at "The white girl gangbanger".

john, paul, george, gang (The Reverend), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:46 (fifteen years ago)

:D

ok dude, but of all kip rip hoos&guru days, shitting in ones cornflakes not cool

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:48 (fifteen years ago)

that was the poll! only five people voted, but everyone who did went out and etc etc etc

symsymsym, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:49 (fifteen years ago)

rip hoos

WHAT? (assuming he's not really dead)

john, paul, george, gang (The Reverend), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:54 (fifteen years ago)

Only five people heard it, but each of them formed a goon crew.

john, paul, george, gang (The Reverend), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:55 (fifteen years ago)

guru is IRL dead, hoos is only ILX dead.

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:55 (fifteen years ago)

Shamed to admit this morning was the first time I've ever heard that joint.

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 08:56 (fifteen years ago)

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

System, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

confession: I've never liked "Runnin'"

The Reverend, Thursday, 22 April 2010 02:36 (fifteen years ago)

me neither. i've never liked the pharcyde as much as ppl around me have.

i kind of wish i'd voted for 'i've got 5 on it' too, can't believe it only got 1 vote given i think almost every single person i know irl knows and could sing along to that song.

pollos da don (tpp), Thursday, 22 April 2010 18:23 (fifteen years ago)

I don't understand not loving anything off the first two Pharcyde albums.

tpp- I think I'm just glad when rap polls get more than 3 votes. And considering the strength of the songs involved, great things are still gonna lack votes, its normal. I'm sure if lj was runnin' (run! run!) a singles poll, I've Got 5 On It would make the top 10 90s singles imo.

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 22 April 2010 18:27 (fifteen years ago)

def at one point in my life i would have voted for 'ice cream' here (again 1 vote lol!)

pollos da don (tpp), Thursday, 22 April 2010 18:32 (fifteen years ago)

i do like the pharcyde just not a big fan of 'runnin'. i dig 'bizarre ride ..' and it used to get fairly regular spin with me cos its the kind of rap record you can play for non-rap fans and they often like it.

pollos da don (tpp), Thursday, 22 April 2010 18:41 (fifteen years ago)

the one thing here i've never ever ever managed to get into was gza. i've tried but it's just not my thing i guess. which is weird given i pretty much love the rest of the wu-tang canon

pollos da don (tpp), Thursday, 22 April 2010 18:44 (fifteen years ago)

urgh and that skee lo song is so corny. 4 votes!?

pollos da don (tpp), Thursday, 22 April 2010 18:45 (fifteen years ago)

'last dayz' is extremely dope

pollos da don (tpp), Thursday, 22 April 2010 18:48 (fifteen years ago)

thinking of taking my own life. i might as well
'cept they might not sell weed in hell

pollos da don (tpp), Thursday, 22 April 2010 18:50 (fifteen years ago)

i do like the pharcyde just not a big fan of 'runnin'. i dig 'bizarre ride ..'
