Woods, but closer than I expected for sure, Fishnets is new to me and I'm digging it.

Wait... there's rapping in this song? 🤔

And yeah, this'll be tight— I kinda expected comments of 'I would've picked a different Golliwog song', but let's be real... could've picked any of them— Lead Paint Test was my backup choice, but I'm still vouching Doll Fulla Pins—

What Billy Woods has been doing the past decade is incredibly mature, and almost what I would call 'hip-hop for adults'— it's very literary, jagged and complexly metered—

They put the curse on the whole family, but it’s hard not to feel like we got it the worsest
Inquired if my soul was for purchase
I replied, "Unfortunately, it's long gone, but might I interest you in something else?"

I feel like A Doll Fulla Pins was either the first (or, if my own creative process tells me anything, last) track recorded for this album— it's very much a glue that holds it together and helps highlight the concept of the record—

We're very lucky to have Billy Woods. I don't even know what kind of dues he'll ever get. Man's not winning a Grammy anytime soon. But maybe in time he'll go down as one of the greats—

Unlucky for DJ Haram, but it's Billy Woods.

GOLLIWOG is easily one of the best albums of 2025. And a "A Doll Fulla Pins" is a great deep album cut that adds tons of flavor to an already tasty album. But it works more as a flavor enhancer on an album than as standalone single. There's a reason that Billy himself (or the record company for that matter) didn't choose it as a single.

I honestly think Hayden is just a sucker for the sax! 😉 😝

I'm with Zep. There were other tracks on GOLLIWOG that would have worked better in a singles tournament.

Whereas "Fishnet" is a straight-up, no-question banger that makes me wish I was thirty years younger and headed with my friends to da club to overpay for over-iced drinks. �...

Fishnet.

Exactly lol. It's a bad joke seeing this in the first round. Ruined my day and I hold cestuneblague personally accountable.

Think I'm voting Fishnets, there are a few tracks off of Golliwog I prefer (BLK ZMBY, Misery, Corinthians maybe, etc.) That's not a real argument since Doll Fulla Pins is still a 10/10, but yeah. IDK. Fishnets.

Hayden we should've solved this diplomatically by nominating All These Worlds Are Yours which features both DJ Haram and Woods and is another incredible Backwoodz Studioz track from 2025.

He's also lived in Jamaica iirc (his mom is Jamaican, dad was Zimbabwean).
