What are the definitive goon cru anthems?

Say yeah
Lemme smang it
Rollin rollin rollin

???

Once compiled we should poll

Lightweight jammin

toot it & boot it

"Lightweight Jammin'" disqualified on the basis that I enjoy it

these seem fairly arbitrary so far

No they don't lex, each of these songs had their own threads devoted to them!

Al hating is a good sign its a goon cru classic but is not a defining element in the end

Factors - jordan and rev enthusiasm p key. Grady crossover potential. Big hook.

we had a long gchat convo about this once

so this is based on what three people like?

like, the goon poll but with even less people?

hmmmmm

Not exactly no

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCZ-nJ7XdmE

yeah it's at least 7 people. at least.

yall are butthurt

its about songs that a bunch of goons vocally rally around

there are only like 7 goons so if 3 or more goons make a big deal about a track, start a new thread about it, plug it in various venues ... prob goon anthem

whiney suggested '9x outta 10' and 'trap going ham.' the former i can see even tho it wasnt my fav off the lp it was rev's enthusiastic choice & lots of ppl seemed to agree, more than any other anyway. the latter makes me rmde but i guess it would be up to those who liked it more to determine if im just against the grain on that one

'watch my feet' is a good one

i remember ethan was into that mims 'this is why im hot' joint & there was enthusiasm at the time but i wonder if it has waned at all

is there a definitive gucci choice?

this is lol to say but in these terms, waka is more an 'album artist'

still want a shirt shirt

absolutely

WIPE ME DOWN

no on 'trap me goin ham'

is there even any point to including big mainstream hits like "wipe me down"

how high did that chart on billboard? i remember that being a rap hit only

not that im sure i understand why that would disqualify it anyway

idk it has its own thread -- I think that's good enough

something like "what you know" or "throw some d's' would be 'too big" tho imo

otm

ill grab me ham

whiney emailed me to insist trap going ham is an anthem lol

ill consider it if one other goon cru person steps up to rep for it itt

"Wipe Me Down" got in the top 10 of the R&B chart, got heavy rotation on every urban station in the country = pretty mainstream

it was a rap radio hit that didnt cross over. doesnt get club play in non-rap clubs, or on pop radio -- successful rap songs are perfectly legit for this thread

it was top 40 on hot 100 too. i mean it doesn't matter, i obviously don't understand this exercise, i'm just saying.

fwiw i could see crossover jams being legit for this thread too

does kreayshawn have a shot at this

2011 goon anthem "Water in the Bo"

Based goon anthem "The Age of Information"

As far as Waka goes, "Hard in da Paint" totally qualifies on the "Wipe Me Down" non-crossover clause.

more than 'love them gun sounds' or 'grove st party'?

i dunno i think he has too many

his album is like, official goon album

'water in the bo' is dope but idk doesnt have that totalizing pop appeal the rest of these do

age of info feels like it relates somehow, not sure id call it an anthem as much as the spirit animal of the entire project

a meta commentary on the hunt for goon anthems

Get Buck
Shoulder Lean
Pop The Trunk
Wont Be Right
Still Tippin
No Problem

These are shots in the dark, since I haven't been around too long and don't really know your feelings on any of these.

I think more importantly "wipe me down" wasn't a critical crossover a la the other two songs I mentioned

"shoulder lean" prob is -- we do have a lyrics thread for it

any snap songs? I wasn't around then but that is the genesis of rolling rap threads right?

i dont think the goon cru existed then though

'o i think they like me' could have been

good qn

swag surfin? would say watcha wan do is the blaqkout goon anthem, least it feels that way to me, also helped by swag me out lets flyyyYYYYY. young ready - 1 rubber is a personal fav & was on deej's mix and imo ranks among toot it & boot it, lots of ppl seemed to like andre nickatina ft. jacka - middle name is crime. also it even tho it has prob transcended goon anthem status lest we forget lemme smang it was once just a stray bullet in the barrage of deej youtubes. i like the idea of not focusing on stuff that is too heavily blogged out like trap goin ham or even ice cream paintjob (tho that 1 to a lesser extent than the former)

lmao i love this

rico tha kidd ft. db tha general - feta cheese

^^ w/ a couple timely revives think this could pick up momentum as contender for 2011 anthem, maybe too much of a novelty track/joke tho

"shoulder lean" definitely

i'd want to say "ice cream paint job"

how far back into history are we going?i think trina's "pull over" would have been

rico tha kidd ft. db tha general - feta cheese

i have never heard OF this one

fyi i never did get round to watching the "lemme smang it" video

rolling gun sounds thread

posted it a couple weeks ago to widespread acclaim

i miss half of what gets posted there because yall go on 9349322-post sprees while i'm asleep

"YRN" might be the #1 2014 entry imo -- non-single young thug/migos track placing the EOY poll

exotica is the new stupid fruity

any luv for speaker knockerz's "Money"?

I be in the kitchen cookin pies with my baby

kinda shocked there wasnt more goon poll consensus for fetty

i think fetty is goon cru recognized

best part of that song is how the beat doesnt drop for forever

oh sure but still, it is exceptionally fruity i mean

Made my best of the year list

'made me'

This year was p good for goonish anthems, almost makes me want to tighten the requirements

I assume keef is too "album artist" ish to qualify bc I feel like shelovesmeechie's dance video for Keef's "earned it" should be in the smithsonian

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T8akcNu9D4

Like in a lean year would "try me" make it? Maybe not

I really slept on this at the time bc i didnt like that he was stealing nHt's '80s rap swiping swag but ive since come around in a huge way

dude is swagging all over Run DMC & ends with a shout out to his dead brother, v emotional

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARmmT4kUjPQ

i'm sure it's been posted before but I want to put my considerable weight behind it

thats a fat joke
sorry for the weight

are you fat now?

was this ever a cru favorite?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvh5KeZ-85A

great song. what year was it? may have pre-dated

also along those lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipvkHY9VXOM

i wonder if trap queen is now too big to qualify

I think trap queen is for sure too big to qualify

"YRN" might be the #1 2014 entry imo -- non-single young thug/migos track placing the EOY poll

someone fucking figure out this sample already

biggest mystery of crate digging since they figured out "Mass Appeal"

what year was it?

2006. does that make it proto-goon?

as late as like 2012 tho i heard a DJ drop it in the middle of a peaktime trap-heavy set and ppl went nuts

that DG Yola song is awesome

DG yola is proto-goon i think -- fader was really on him at the time iirc

this is a great lost goon jam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbl6t-u02BA

i've had "ice cream paint job" in my head for all week for no reason

xp- damn i had completely forgotten about that one. played it soo much back then

"big tymin" seems like it belongs here, but mozzy does not.

i honestly don't know if i can handle another Cash Money nostalgia song

you don't like big tymin???

it's ok i just feel like the "word association based on old rap star/crew" hook formula is really stale by now and there's been a bunch of Cash Money-themed one (Bankroll Fresh "Hot Boy," Jacquees "Like Baby" etc)

hmm, well i guess if there are 3 of a thing that's enough to act bored by it ;-)

idk though i feel like rap songs reference lines from classic songs all the time it would never have even occurred to me to be annoyed by it

no there are literally a million songs following that Rick Ross "MC Hammer" template, the Cash Money ones are just a plentiful subgenre

the thing about 'big tymin' is, 1) its actually good which was the problem w/ 'hot boy', and 2) it actually captures the abstract spiritual vibe of classic big tymers....also its the only song i know of that's about the big tymers, the hot boys and "like baby" aren't really the same thing

but again, al being against it is a good indicator we're on the right track for goon cru status

of course

"real tall" is so good, i loved that song

deej's post pretty much covers my feelings on "big tymin" but i'll reiterate the fact that it's actually a fuckin banger

also it has the perfect blend of homage and personal creativity, i find it completely impossible to dislike

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXdzjMO1ybo

pop a perc, and let it flow through ma body ooooooaaaaoooooooo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQRIAAwzdls

another 2010 song i played the hell out of that i just remembered

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hlg1vXIzSrM

were any goons other than me and dayo into this one? v fun thugger thugger knockoff knockoff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVSu7LyIuKk

feeling it. suitably disturbing

Yuck

i find that pretty unlistenable musically and i can't tell if it's intentional 'dad email forward' parody or not

We gotta tighten up this playlist for the last x years

A couple 2018 nominations:

Sada baby & drego “bloxk party”
Sada baby “let me bang”
El hitta “aww yea”
El hitta “groovy walk”
Swervoo “I want a dirtbike”
