    Rap round next. Perhaps my least favourite kind of music. Better prepare myself for it...

    Same here, that's why I decided to go with R'n'B, it's more tolerable.

    :D

    All will be revealed at circa 6.30pm this evening.

    What I will say is that the bottom 3 were bottom 3 by some distance...

    That's me there so. Best thing about this round and game in general is I discovered an album I had on vinyl about 20 years ago but never listened as I never got around to spending €1200 on Technics as a 15-16 year old.

    It's probably not the greatest hiphop album of all time but it has some of the best hiphop tracks of all time.

    Hip-Hop, Rap – some smooth R&B? All the order of the day here. I’m a fairly big rap fan, much like country the emphasis is on the voice and the lyrics. If they ain’t on point, it ain’t gonna do well.

    Couple of examples…

    How did they fare? How did YOU fare? I guess we will find out in the next hour or so.

    Trigger
    Walk on water – Eminem



    The Beyonce part of this really ruined this for me. I love Eminem and have listened to almost everything he has released but for some reason I never got into this song at all. It seems a bit lazy (by him) if I’m completely honest.

    It’s another song I just couldn’t get into at all unfortunately. The chorus is pretty decent but that’s about it.

    Black Skinhead - Kanye West


    Yeah… so when I saw this initially I was dumping it down the bottom such is my disdain for Kanye, but you know what it’s actually not terrible. It’s powerful, for sure.
    But yeah, it was severely limited by my disdain for the guy so this is about as high as it was ever going to go :/

    This is my kind of thing, gritty, urban and real. Like Arghus’ entry before it, there’s a cool different vibe off this one and I really enjoyed this.

    House of Pain: Jump Around




    Ha, the quintessential song for this category imo. I’d have posted it in the opening blurb if it hadn’t been entered. I mean it’s almost universally loved so how could it not place fairly high?

    Genuinely surprised that the tracks that duplicated did, and this was a solo entry.

    Pharrell & Jay Z - Frontin'




    One would be forgiven for thinking they might do well when one of the artists features in my opening blurb on the category. A problem however arises when you want nothing else other than for the other half of this duo to spontaneously combust. I hate Pharrell and his horrific rapping voice, it’s especially evident in this song. So unfortunately it must be cast down into the bottom 3.
