Worthy winner. Not my favourite album in the tournament, but not too far off.

These albums are really close and these are two of the best albums in the tournament but I went with The Cold Vein by a bit

I think I'll close this on Monday. I think that's enough time to give everyone their fair vote.

Like that time I introduced The Black Messiah to BEA? 🤣

(There was a post a while back that said I did this. I don't actually believe it.)

Anyway, glad to see how close this is. Obviously my vote is for Below The Heavens. Hoping it get another handful of votes in the next few days.

I listen to hip hop as much as I do because of Skinny so in a sense he has introduced me to every hip hop album that I love and listen to.

Below The Heavens is an awful album so the one which isn't that album can win 😲

Good evening. My name is Norman.

(crowd: Hello, Norman)

I'm here today to state that, yes, as hard as it is to admit it

(Ooooooh *applause*)

I needed to state this in front of you tonight, and so I somehow found the strength in me

(Yeeeaaaaah *applause*)

To go public on this tonight

(Way to go bro!)

Skinny introduced me to Below the Heavens.

(OH! *respectful silence*)

I'm... I'm sorry.

Well I found The Cold Vein whilst exploring everything El-P has ever touched after hearing that CoFlow track on Soundbombing 2, and have been hopelessly enamored with it from the outset. Not letting you take that one away from me

But as for BTH... Yeah nezzle wins again

The Cold Vein. Took over my life in med school when it was released. It was the perfect complement for the industrial landscape surrounding Pittsburgh. I'd study for like 12 hours straight - no joke - & then jump in my car to decompress so that I could sleep after being all amped up on far, far too many Americanos from this crazy good coffee shop called The Dancing Goat. Steel mills at night with this on the car stereo are a beautiful & wondrous thing. And it hasn't aged a bit.

Below the Heavens is cute though. Makes me feel all happy inside. A tad inconsistent though & The Cold Vein is just a beast.

I discovered Below The Heavens on /mu/ and The Cold Vein on RYM, so ha!

BTH gets my vote, if it wasn't obvious.

this is exactly what the final matchup should be looking like. I am so proud of you BEA ^_^

I'm rooting for TCV as it's a strong contender for my favorite thing ever in existence but I wont complain at all if BTH takes the tourney. Either way my fanboyism is vindicated and I am happy

Both are great. And both these albums knocked out my Monch/Organized Konfusion albums too soon.

I need time to think about this and revisit. As of now... I'm leaning toward Blu & Exile.
