it's all over Twitter that Pitchfork picked RTJ 2 as AOTY but not on their website :shrug:

i know - it's pitchfork, insert obligatory bitching about them - but still, that would be kind of crazy.

ninja edit: nevermind, it's true - http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/9558-the-50-best-albums-of-2014/5/

This is volume for the voiceless, a silver bullet for the wolves, and a redistribution of sovereignty. It’s venom to immobilize cheaply uniformed imposters, flatulent greedheads, and cynical buffoons perverting the truth on cable news. When institutions lacked authority and insurrection seemed permanently imminent, El-P and Killer Mike hurled 11 grenades, offering redemption through untrammeled rage. If justice remained elusive, retaliation could be had as fast as closing your eyes and counting to gently caress..

Good beat but Lloyd Banks used it 2 years ago on a song, I don't know if that counts. My answer: everything London on da Track did on Rich Gang The Tour

I get annoyed with how much importance those fucks try to assign to everything. RTJ2 isn't even the best RTJ album but now it's the catalyst for hipsters to change the world from the safety of their tumblr page blah blah blah.

Touche.

Being serious though I guess the best beats of the year that I can think of would be:

Mt. Olympus (Big KRIT)
Wishin (Pryhme)
Cuffin Season Remix (Fabolous & G-Unit)
Don't Wait Remix (Chance The Rapper & Mapei)
They Don't Love You No More (DJ Khaled & a bunch of features)
Jack Tripper (Low Pros [Lex Luger & A Trak] Ft. Young Thug & PeeWee Longway)
Chandler Avenue (Childish Gambino Produced by DJ Drama)
Multiply (A$AP Rocky)
Chiraq (Nicki Minaj Ft. Lil Herb)
IDFWU (Big Sean Ft. E40)

Honorable Mention : Drunk in Love (Came out mid december in 13 but was all over in 14) and 7-11, both by Beyonce. It's hit after hit with her, and her songs get played EVERYWHERE (strip clubs, strip malls, radio, sporting events, etc.)

Also, BIG HOMIE and 0-100 by Diddy (I'm just gonna say it's Diddy's beat since he punched Drake in the mouth over it.)

Dont worry they prob didnt get paid much. I like reading pitchfork still because their writers all think theyre such clever masters of the english language but most of the poo poo they write barely makes sense at worst or is high school level superficial analysis of music at best :allears:

Annoyance is the wrong reaction: just laugh!! this is comedy at its finest:

He talks a lot about eating rear end. And the question about loving his girl with his buddy is pretty suss. All in all a good album though

All I can see right now is the face he made to DJ Envy when he said he wasn't into eatin rear end. Now with video link http://youtu.be/CKa3_0hG_8s?t=17m28s

I give him credit, he's real about everything he says.

you really shouldn't concern yourself so much with other people's sex lives, not everyone is super into monogamy (especially rappers :v: ) or jealousy (nevermind, most rappers are all about jealousy)

Well when he raps about it and talks openly about it it's fair game. Also you listen to rappers that are openly homophobic and call people faggots in their music

Yes, I do. I also don't concern myself with their personal lives or beliefs too much, but if guess if you want to freak out about an artist doing something you don't approve of I can't do anything but laugh

luca brasi 2 is fantastic. this is like his third mixtape this year? they've all been great and i'm hoping he manages to keep it up and doesn't burn out.

also my favorite beat of the year is probably about the money: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etfIdtm-OC8

On what loving planet am I on where you can't comment on something someone does in their personal lives when they openly talk about what they do in their personal lives? No one's freaking out about anything you overreacting dork. There's a difference between actually caring about what they do in the bedroom and us laughing at on it on a private internet message board. Now shut up I want to make more jokes about Birdman's love for young boys.
