Yeah this is the most disappointing result of the tournament for me so far. The Sweet Trip song is fine - I like the part where the vocals come in on the second half - but like the album it's from it doesn't stick with me. I was underwhelmed with Grindin when I first heard Lord Willin but now I cant get enough of it (Virginia is my favorite from that album though). Probably my favorite hip hop song in the tournament outside of my nominations.[/i]

Went with Grindin' in the end, mostly because Velocity seems to be more of a snippet of what seems to be a great album (for some reason I've never heard of it yet, which is my main takeaway from this match), rather than a great "song" in its own right.
Still not totally sure how much I really like Grindin', both verses are good and the beat is infectious, even if it's almost too minimalistic for my own liking.

I'm inclined to agree, even though I love Accordion more than Grindin', but that Flaming Lips song is excellent too while Sweet Trip is... decent?

Hmmmm.... Like a few tracks in this contest, I fail to see how Sweet Trip's Velocity works as a single. It's a nice snippet of a great album, but it works bst in the context of the album. It's more a mood than a single.

Whereas, Grindin' just something you could hear all by itself on the radio and just be Hell, yeah. Where going out tonight! So that one.

Exactly.

Anything from the second half of the Sweet Trip album would have got my vote easily but after some internal back and forth I'm still going with Velocity by a small margin.

Late 00's to early 10s Sweet Trip is everything I'd want from music. Grindin' is more where I'm at now. Gotta live in the present. Win/Win though.

Sweet Trip was nothing for me while Grindin’ has a certain flow I like.

Clipse, by miles. Basically any of the first five songs from Lord Willin' could win this tournament and I'd 100% support that decision. Ric Ocasek once said of The Cars' debut album that it was basically a 'greatest hits' record, which is how I see that first Clipse record.
