Mofos on the Internets don't know how to act
According to Last Week's Poll
Would anyone mind explaining to me what happened to last week's poll? I leave the Internets for one week - to get drunk every night of the week and spend hours on end playing video games; and to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the man who made all this (misery) possible - and I come back to find that motherfucking 8 Diagrams has won last week's rap albums of the year poll.
That can't be right, can it?
Last week I took 20 of the year's best rap albums and pit them against one another in a poll to see which was the best rap album of the year. Then I left it up for another week while I was off doing my thing. Here's how it turned out.
Rap album of the year?
Wu-Tang Clan - 8 Diagrams (326 votes)
Kanye West - Graduation (224 votes)
Lupe Fiasco - The Cool (199 votes)
Jay-Z - American Gangster (124 votes)
El-P - I'll Sleep When You're Dead (73 votes)
Prodigy - Return of the Mac (61 votes)
Ghostface Killah - The Big Doe Rehab (59 votes)
UGK - Underground Kingz (58 votes)
Little Brother - Getback (50 votes)
Talib Kweli - Ear Drum (46 votes)
Black Milk - Popular Demand (43 votes)
Redman - Red Gone Wild (32 votes)
Freeway - Free at Last (30 votes)
Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass (28 votes)
Pharoahe Monch - Desire (27 votes)
Brother Ali - The Undisputed Truth (24 votes)
Common - Finding Forever (24 votes)
Devin the Dude - Waiting to Inhale (20 votes)
Joell Ortiz - The Brick (15 votes)
Esoteric - Egoclapper (4 votes)
(Keep in mind that this list shouldn't be viewed so much as a composite list of everyone's favorite albums, like the Village Voice's Pazz and Jop poll, since in this poll you could only vote for your one favorite album of the year. Not that anyone gives a shit anyway.)
Thoughts on the results:
I don't recall 8 Diagrams doing as well the last time I looked at this poll, 10 days ago or whatever, so I'm calling shenanigans. Even though I'm not sure how said shenanigans would have taken place.
None of those albums in the top four is even any good, though I'm sure the clowns who voted for them really are convinced that they are.
And then at number five is El-P's I'll Sleep When You're Dead, which I guess did pretty well in this poll, considering.
Little Brother and Black Milk, both of which I voted for in Pazz and Jop, also did reasonably well.
I also voted for Esoteric's Egoclapper, which only received four votes in this poll. Damn.
Where was the support for Common's Finding Forever? I thought we were still pretending that was a good album.
Additionally, I'll be putting together my own list of the top 10 rap albums of the year as part of the annual year-end rap albums poll published by The Rap Up, but it's not ready yet. Anyway, you can probably imagine how it's going to turn out.
