Good song, but Open Mike Eagle has done a lot better. Easy vote to Oblivion.

I voted for Open Mike Eagle, and it really wasn't that hard of a decision

Oblivion is such an iconic song in the alternative scene, I see very few songs beating it.

Yeah. I feel bad voting against Qualifiers. One of the best hip hop tracks of the decade. But yeah.

I like the rhythm and flow of Oblivian so I will vote for it if Skinny doesn't

What Grimes song is this.

Change "Bright Green Light" to "California" and "rap" to "pop" and it's a quote about Grimes. 😁

Genesis > Oblivion imo, but that's just nuances. Wouldn't mind either of these winning the tournament, although Grimes obviously has a bigger chance. Went with Qualifiers since it's an underdog, but both are near perfect.

Yeah tough draw. This might be my favourite song of his, too. On the other hand Oblivion is one of those songs that I wouldn't mind winning the whole thing (though I may actually prefer Genesis from that album)

OOF. Mike Eagle is one of my favorite rappers of the 10's, and this is a great example why. But Oblivion is Oblivion, and I'd be fine with it making it to the finals. Agreed that it still sounds fresh, somehow more so than her latest album does.

Really terrific jam from Mike, but... ouch. Oblivion may very well be THE early 2010s jam, or certainly a strong contender. Unlike some of her earliest stuff doesn't feel dated at all. Even as weird as things have gotten in the past couple of years (my beautiful Grimes), still hits all the right button and gets my vote, but wouldn't be butthurt over an upset either, excellent matchup all around.
