I went 1999 but yeah it wasn't an easy decision. I enjoy everything except My Name Is (even old Eminem annoys me tbh). Despite how excellent the 2017 albums are, they just aren't quite up there with Skinny's picks. Grey Skies was a new discovery for me and I fucking love it.
I love DAMN., probably more than the average hip-hop head, but DNA is a single that's gotten kinda old for me. With that said I'm glad this was picked over HUMBLE. (kendricks worst track since Section .80). The two singles are actually the only two tracks I skip on DAMN. nowadays now that I think about it.
Shoutout to both teams though, great matchup.

You know what? Your vote means a lot. The write-ups have been great. Thanks kokkinos ๐

I'll admit, I'm sliiiightly surprised how lopsided the match ended up being, but it is what it is. Black on Both Sides is a powerhouse to be up against.
(I'm not going to act like I was the only vote for me team until about an hour ago ๐คฃ )

Not to badtalk Kendrick when he's on my board, but I genuinely dislike Loyalty and XXX. I think they're two of the worst tracks he's made. Nothing against Humble, and I think DNA's fantastic (the second half never fails to impress me), but just throwing my opinion on DAMN out there. As much as I like it, I wasn't going to pick it on the album roster. (Pride, Fear, Duckworth, DNA, etc. etc.. all great though).

I might give that third vote to 2017, because I prefer those singles by a lot, but I need to give a proper chance to Crooked Lettaz. So like, one more day left, yeah?

Completely understandable. I don't think it would win your team much favor anyways even if you did.

seriously, had the Lil Uzi Vert single been literally any other 2017 single, probs would've gotten my vote.
Even if the score doesn't reflect it, super close imo.

I preferred by team, but by a much smaller margin than has been reflected in the scoreline. Obviously happy to be winning, but was expecting the vote to be much closer. A great team regardless, Hayden - I wholeheartedly love everything here, except maybe 'DNA' (which is still a great song, just not a personal Kendrick favourite, even though the last time I saw him live he opened with it and the whole place was electric).
