Welcome to what might become the ultimate Hip-Hop Music thread. This thread is not only to share your favorite/best Hip-Hop Music records to compete in the Genre Olympics, but also to learn and share all you want/can about Hip-Hop Music and all it's sub-genres.
Please see the links below for a couple ways this "genre" can be viewed.
Alright everyone. I don't think I screwed up the final calculations, but please feel free to correct me if I did.
Here are the top 10 finalists for the Electronic Genre Olympics. Next steps are for anyone and everyone to rank the following albums (even if you didn't submit during the original qualifications to rank the following albums. See OP on how the point system works (#1 weighted with 10 points and #10 with 1 point). Many of you have given commentary on why you love the albums you do, so if you haven't maybe vote why? Enjoy!
Semi-Finalists:
Ties are in no particular order when points are the same.
Competition:
Submit nominations of your top 10 albums (with which region it comes from) - where #10 = 1 point and #1 = 10 points. The ten albums with the most points from these nominations will be in the running for the Olympic medal for the genre and then people could listen to all ten and rank the ten with the same points structure to determine the winners. Timeline to be determined.
