Gonna repost this near the top of the page since no one responded last time.

Hi Gaf Hop! I haven’t been active here in a very long time, but I do read nearly everything. This is by far my favorite subcommunity on Neogaf. Starting later this week, I’ll be posting more regularly. I’m still reading through the last bits of OTXV. If you haven’t noticed by now, CRS (the person who made the last four AOTY threads) doesn’t post here very much anymore. I’m not expecting him to make a comeback anytime soon either. Here’s a sample of his last few posts.

CRS said:

You all suck.

CRS said:

Burn this place down.

CRS said:

CRS said:

Die.

I wouldn’t blame him for bowing out of tallying the votes this time around. Is anyone planning on doing the AOTY thread? I volunteer to do the next one. Sorry if this has been decided already. If someone else is set on doing the job then I’ll back off.

I think I can whip up something in Python to help me count the votes. If no one protests then I'll put up the thread in mid December. You'd all have about 4 weeks to participate. Sound good?

Yes.

Tha G-Code has some great songs from my listening so far. But it's far too early to decide which ones I like best.

So in other Nas news.. GAF help me on this one. I'm not sure if this is old but I heard a Gucci Mane song called "changed my phone" that is supposed to be a Nas diss? Please tell me this is not real. I mean would it even be worth Nas to respond if so?

It would likely be in Nas' best interest to not get into any kind of beef with Gucci.

If I have to hear Jay is a snake/abandoned his people from the 90s one more time.

(Also can someone recommend me an older, early-mid 2000s non mainstream album, from a popular or mildly known obfuscating underground rapper to listen to?)

IrishNinja · Nov 28, 2016

Jay very clearly should've thrown that crew in the bushes eariler

and i'm assuming you've heard everyone's favorite from that era?

Can't stand them (as I've listened to them)
Only good thing about them is that Vinnie Paz is a Jay fan which becomes useful when arguing against Underground folks.
Give me another suggestion please.

IrishNinja · Nov 28, 2016

fam i ditched a lot of it during the lupe purge of 2011 or so, the only non-nujabes/hydeout stuff that survived were go-to's like POS - Never Better, Shad - The Old Prince Still Lives at Home, and any obscure stuff Alchemist did

i guess there was that one Asher Roth tape, early KRIT, Clean Soul Forces, Hail Mary Mallon, Kno, Doppelgangaz stuff but we're well past the mid aughts

the thing is, after that point in time you could find better on most of des' bandcamp lists, or just go a bit earlier to shit like Company Flow, Cannibal Ox, or just hit up some good Boot Camp Clik/D.I.T.C. type shit and purify yourself in the waters of lake minnatonka

*edit just don't chill with andrew and listen to swagerless blackaliscious/jurassic 5 type shit, there's better out there ya'll

LOL Vinnie posted an awesome rebuttal when he praised 50's debut as being incredible and called it better than the "underground shit you listen to."

What two artists from what you listed would you recommend the most?

Andrew Korenchkin · Nov 28, 2016

I listened to House of pain's debut because I didn't have anything else to do. I have to say, this House of Pain debut isn't all that bad.....for its production.

The rapping....eh not so much. Shame the beats are wasted on such mediocre rapping.

Still can't really shake the fact that they're a one hit wonder or some other pop group. Definitely feels like a relic.

You might as well but I'd think on it if were you gonna be a complete waste of time if CRS had to beg people to vote when this thread had twice as many active users and now we're living in Trumps America where Millennials can't find a reason to vote with white supremacist running.

I picked up that CD in a record store a few months ago. I liked it, but I'd agree it's not great. Their biggest hit was Jump Around, but I'm personally most familiar with I'm A Swing it from their second album. It was on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 soundtrack. That was also my first time listening to Del and Xzibit. Those games exposed me to all sorts of cool music.

Dj Muggs is so underrated. Kind of a shame that he's known for two of the most annoyingly overplayed rap songs of the early 90's.

Low voter turnout doesn't bother me much anyway. I haven't made anything interesting in months. Writing program to gather the results would be fun challenge. If for some reason I can't get it to work properly then manually counting them won't take very long. I'll only have to do it for 1-2 dozen posts.

Have you listened to Little Brother? They had a couple of really good albums in the mid 2000's

IrishNinja · Nov 28, 2016

damn, des got real up in here

also bounce i dunno, if you ain't heard say cannibal ox give cold vein a go. other than that, i mean most of what i listed is prolly on bandcamp/YT, just grab an artist and give it a track or two, most aren't gonna do much if they don't catch you early on, i figure

Also @Andrew please stop dropping the n-word in posts only to edit them a few moments later, I know it's some kind of high-class trolling but stop playing with rhetorical sensibilities like that

Y'all be standing in line to take your L's this week. At least do it with dignity.

I'm not gonna be in the review thread nor will I ready any review before I beat it myself. I'm expecting a decent mid-80's and that's totally okay. I see this more like a stepping stone and technical foundation for the future - a first step in the right direction for the series w.r.t. to modern AAA game development. If it's also good that's nice of course.
