I can't tell if you're joking or not. All I did was repost my sample ballot from the OP. My actual list isn't done yet.

To be clear: You can (and in fact are encouraged) to list ten songs in the Song of the Year category.

I just cant stand his fucking voice

He's on the level of Big Sean and Ka and Encore - MMLP2 Eminem with me in terms of vocals.

If he rapped like he does on Tell Me What I Dont Know a lot more and rapped a lot less with his high pitched, soundin like a drunken cartoon character vocal inflection , Id like that album more.

PlayDat · Dec 20, 2016

When it comes to rap music, a distinctive voice is usually a positive for me. I like high-pitched Danny and low-pitched Danny all the same. The only Big Sean album I've listened to is Dark Sky Paradise. I thought it was just okay at best. I'm indifferent to his voice. His verse on Man in My City off Wave Gods is one of my favorites this year. It's good because of the delivery which I'd say is related to, but different from voice.

Already happening. See the post above

TheFlow · Dec 20, 2016

I don't think I listened to a single album fully except for drake.

so I started with Ka and Cudi.

going to try to listen to everyone's top 10 before I make my list.

edit:

Kid-Cudi Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin'

My first kid cudi album.

Frequency
Rose Golden
Releaser
by design
illusions.

heard great things about surfer but it was decent.

Overall

great productions and sometimes even awesome vocals but the lyrics, repetition of words, and amount of unmemorable songs bring the album down. This is the type of album you listen to for the sound. Definitely better than I was expecting.

3.5/5 worth a listen.

Nah fam. I agree that this invalidates your list.

I need more time to re-listen to a bunch of stuff and get my rankings right. Subbing to the thread as a reminder.

It wasn't horrible but just wasn't good and hyped up.

Catvoca · Dec 22, 2016

Kwixotik · Dec 23, 2016

I'll actually be participating for the first time this year. Catching up on some shit over the next few days, but my list is mostly constructed.

I have a question though. Is there anywhere to easily review producer credits for singles this year? I've been struggling to keep up with new releases, much less keep track of who is producing what this year.

Andrew Korenchkin · Dec 24, 2016

Injury Reserve deserves a mention.
