Yeah but Doom said "borderline schizo, sorta fine tits though". So you're objectively wrong.

That line illustrates his prominent rhyming!

For me a good rap song can't just be from good rapping. Just like any other form of music, if it focuses 80% on the lyrics or the vocal performance... I'm out. I'm not saying he does this, but I have heard a lot of people talk about how he's the best rapper and so on. I'm just not finding a lot of tonal intrigue. His vocal samples (I'm guessing from kung fu movies, but I don't know) annoy me for some reason. I just want some good music and rapping, which is delivered fantastically in the two songs above. The rest of the album I felt like one or the other was missing.

His rapper name is MF Doom, Madvillain is the collab he did with Madlib.

Vaudeville Villain has almost no cartoonish samples. And it contains a few tunes with that caliber you like off of those two songs above from Mm..Food. I'd be surprised if you wouldn't like the title track, A Dead Mouse, Let Me Watch or Popsnot, considering what you want from him. 🤔

Trust me, I was on the same shit as you, I'm pretty much describing that on my description to Vaudeville Villain on my top 100 chart (at #86)

Gotcha - yeah, I'll have to check it then. Thanks!

Good riddance 😄

MF Doom is sick. Have you listened to Vaudeville Villain?

Sweet - thanks for posting. Nothing wrong with being late. These were originally designed to have discussions about genres with a side order of games. I was hoping they'd almost be like BEA portals to genres or something, but it kinda fizzled out. There's more to this project if people are still interested.

Well thanks 😄

The votes so far... it's a pain in the ass to update, so no changing votes at this point please.

(Also these points are not additive to the semi-finalist round like previous ones were... I'll think about posting the differences on other threads...)

Illmatic 50
Aquemini 43
Ready To Die 40
Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) 37
3 Feet High And Rising 32
Good Kid, M.A.A.D City 32
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 28
Endtroducing..... 23
The Cold Vein 20
The Marshall Mathers LP 18

I'll keep voting up for as long as people are still voting or up until 2 weeks of the last vote.

So are these the final results?

Thanks for the reminder (on a side note my email doesn't get notified anymore from BEA... so I get lost with conversations all the time now... and no it's not in the junk folder... but I talk too much anyway). Yes, I don't think anyone voted after this, and then therefore 2 weeks later the voting closed out. I'll update the OP.

🤣

Benefit of the doubt.

Maybe you can give us a better understanding Skinny?

I mean I think the obvious thing is DJ's (at least used to) really have two turntables, crossover/faders and would fuck with time sometimes. It really was about track isolation as shown here:

"Electronic musicians" on the other hand have a mass array of different tools, but to simplify it we'll say they mostly make music on synthesizers, be they analog or digital.

Well, they just build their music using the same methods as other electronic musicians. Just by using electronic instruments and computer software. They just create original music rather than music sampled from other records. Hip Hop uses more sampled music than any other kind of electronic music probably. Most other kinds don't use samples at all or very rarely.
I'm trying to think which kind of electronic music has the most artists with DJ in their name. And I think it's probably House and drum n bass. Well, at least according to my CD collection. Heh heh

I mean this is just the cutest thing.
