Yes. As the game goes on into the semi-finals and beyond, users will be expected to bulk up their teams, in order to add some variety to the game.

Currently allowed, but strongly discouraged. (Also, I have considered just banning this outright, as it goes completely against the spirit of the game as I have imagined it. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?)

Show me the receipts.
Ban it, it'll be easier. It seems people would vote against it anyway.

Uh, I'm late to the party. 1994, 1998, 1993, 1995, 2000, 2002, 2014, 2015. That was my shortlist of years, and it's good I had a lot of options haha. It's a shame though, I wanted to explore 90s hip hop more, but 2002 has some great stuff that I'm yet to listen to.


Sorry man, 2002 and 2015 are also taken. 1997 is still available if you want to go 1990s - I almost picked it - and 2014 is available also.

Just went to RYM 1997 hip hop chart, 15th highest rated album is by a Croatian rap rock group The Beat Fleet. Bizarre. I haven't heard that one yet, but their music in the 00s is fun mainstream hip hop with rock influences. No offence to TBF, they're pretty good, but I burst out laughing when I saw it above Three 6 Mafia and Slum Village and just under Wu-Tang Clan. Truly bizarre.

Unless I missed something, 2004 is still up for grabs, so that's my choice.

A few questions.

Can we nominate EPs as an "album"? And hypothetically, if I nominate an EP that has most of the songs that were later released on an actual album, would people vote against that out of principle?

Are only official singles (those listed on RYM) eligible, or can we nominate any song from an album released in our year?

What about that rule "only singles released 1 year before/after the album"? Is that an official rule or just an idea? 'Cause it turns out Bonita Applebum / I Left My Wallet in El Segundo and Check the Rhime / Award Tour were released as singles in 1997 and I'm tempted to use them, even though it feels weird and people would probably give me hard time for that.

Skinny, when we choose 10 + 10 do we PM those to you? Edit: it's in the original post

Remember, you are only nominating a year; you still have plenty of time to explore your choice, and I will message you for your album and single nominations later.

I'm all up for banning it. Keeps things on their toes.

BTW, my album in question is "A Piece of Strange" by Cunninlynguists. It was definitely officially released on January 24th 2006. Only a promo was released in 2005.
