MarsKid

MarsKid
09.01.22 | Team captains can choose their name and album.
Items (namely the idols) do not stack between rounds. Only active on the round it is found on. |
tyman128
09.01.22 | "tyman beat me by .15" i'm so sorry 😭
this phase gonna be wild |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | AS ALWAYS, TO MY ELIMINATED PLAYERS: Don't go far. You're never *really* gone from the game. Stick around... |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | Steak is back on the clock.
Also, first hints are up for the songs. You'll get a new one every other day, max of three. |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | Aaaaaaaand Johnny is on the clock. |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | Yeah, I already specified that producer credits aren't included. That'd be too extreme. The focus is on vocal features, be it a refrain or a verse. |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | @Johnny Those will also not be counted. |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | TEAMS ARE SET
FIRST HINTS ARE OUT
Now... let the battle begin.
Steak and Johnny, I am still awaiting team names and the albums you'd like to represent your respective squads. |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | I see I see |

Sinternet
09.01.22 | but will pick big pun - beware straight off |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | Everything is currently updated.
A clash for the ages is upon us! |
Uzumaki
09.01.22 | No need to feel sorry Sint when I knew I’d lose since round two. Y’all have fun tho! |
Shemson
09.01.22 | ‘whoever the other one is you are mine do well’
well consider me inspired |
rockarollacola
09.01.22 | "Swing and a miss."
New it was a risk. I regret nothing. |
Shemson
09.01.22 | Well I’ve worked out I can vibe with Mars opinions on everything except heavy music - those rankings for deathcore and Djent have killed me, couldn’t disagree more!
Hip hop should see me back in the game though at least! |
Shemson
09.01.22 | Quick dibs before I think on it further
Clipping. - Enlacing
Denzel Curry - Ultimate
Busta Rhymes - Break Ya Neck
Slowthai - Nothing Great About Britain
Genesis Owusu - Centrefold
Kendrick Lamar - Fuck Your Ethnicity
Run The Jewels - Call Ticketron
Outkast - B.O.B.
Tyler, The Creator - Yonkers
Eminem - Role Model
Wu Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta Fuck With
Dizzy Rascal - Fix Up, Look Sharp
No repeat artist and no features completely fucked my hip hop idea I had in case the round popped up with was very James Blake heavy :( |
Shemson
09.01.22 | I’ve also assumed that even though WTC decides to list every member individually as a feature on Spotify they aren’t really features and that jives? |
Mort.
09.01.22 | 1. slick rick - behind bars
2. bahamadia - uknowhowwedo
3. cannibal ox - a-boys alpha
4. grandmaster flash - the message
5. the streets - has it come to this |
Mort.
09.01.22 | mr johnny sir i want to thank you for picking me for your team, i will do you proud
but first explain hip hop please |
Shemson
09.01.22 | That’s more like it Johnny
Nice pick with Check The Lock, great track |
Shemson
09.01.22 | Question - no repeat artists but what about a solo artist and the group they’re a part of?
So for example could you have a track by Method Man and a track by Wu-Tang Clan? |
Pheromone
09.01.22 | Quick booking
Pete Rock & CL Smooth - They Remenisce Over You
UGK - One Day
The 2 goats
And then Souls of Mischief - 93 til infinity |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | "So for example could you have a track by Method Man and a track by Wu-Tang Clan?"
That's OK, since technically those are releases by two different projects. |
bgillesp
09.01.22 | We have a very different definition of groovy… Oh well, time to get to work |
bgillesp
09.01.22 | Since the dibs war has begun, I’ll drop a few
Mos Def- Mathematics
Big krit- Confetti
The roots- Rhymes and Ammo
Jean Grae and Quelle Chris- Breakfast of Champions (this is a collab album so I don’t think it counts as a feature)
ATCQ- Midnight
Jay-Z- U don’t know
Pusha T- the games we play
Clipping- say the name
Kendrick Lamar- the art of peer pressure
BIG- ready to die
Cunninlynguists- never know why
Deltron 3030- Mastermind
2Pac- so many tears |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | Collab efforts aren't the same as features, since the artists are collaborating together on a project from start to finish--not really a feature at that point. It would count as a feature if, on that album, the two included artists shared a track with someone else as well.
And obviously rap groups don't count either, as you expect to hear from 3+ emcees depending on the size of the collective. |
bgillesp
09.01.22 | Yeah that’s what I figured. 13 tracks is a hefty task. |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | Yessir. And then you've got some hidden goodies if people choose to try and figure out where they are. . . . . |
bgillesp
09.01.22 | I got a neuro exam in 2 days. I’ll leave that to my teammates |
Shemson
09.01.22 | Thanks for clarity Mars, hopefully our tastes in hip hop are more aligned! |
DavidYowi
09.01.22 | “And obviously rap groups don't count either, as you expect to hear from 3+ emcees depending on the size of the collective.”
Wait but in the rules for this round you included groups. Would something like Bone Thugs count? |
Shemson
09.01.22 | He’s saying you can use groups, like I’ve used Wu-Tang
For example - you could use Lonely Island but you couldn’t use Lonely Island featuring Michael Bolton :) |
DavidYowi
09.01.22 | Also nabbing Scarface - No Tears |
DavidYowi
09.01.22 | “For example - you could use Lonely Island but you couldn’t use Lonely Island featuring Michael Bolton :)”
Ok phew because I was really gunning for East 1999 |
bgillesp
09.01.22 | Think I have my 13 for now |
SlothcoreSam
09.01.22 | MARS, Can you have a solo artist, then have a group they are in? |

MarsKid
09.01.22 | Damn, y'all working FAST. |
SlothcoreSam
09.01.22 | Gonna get Lupe Fiasco - Mural, in my list too. |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | Oh please, don't stop there. Make it wall-to-wall Fiasco. |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | Sounds good |
Shemson
09.01.22 | Can you use samples of other songs if the artist isn’t considered featured?
Also if there’s a female vocal that isn’t listed as featured and isn’t really at the forefront like my Kendrick pick I’m guessing that’s cool too? |
SlothcoreSam
09.01.22 | Should have chose me Johnny. |
Shemson
09.01.22 | I would’ve helped with wall to wall fiasco but I can’t choose Daydreamin because of Jill Scott featuring! |
bgillesp
09.01.22 | Samples better be allowed or this is gonna be ridiculous (though maybe that’s the point) |
MarsKid
09.01.22 | Samples don't count, I'm looking for full on (ft. whoever) stuff.
Otherwise I'd have to investigate every song for their credits and lol fuck that
I feel like at this point the expectation is pretty clear, so I WILL judge like an asshole if y'all break this rule. |
DavidYowi
09.01.22 | happy with how many of my picks were off the dome |

Pheromone
09.02.22 | the problem with 13 tracks is i now feel like i gotta avoid epics > : ( |
Pheromone
09.02.22 | joking enjoy your 2 hour album > : ) |
Shemson
09.02.22 | To be fair, there’s no upper time limits just 13 at 50+ mins
Clearly unlike the Djent round Mars wants to listen to some hip hop! |
Pheromone
09.02.22 | going for 13 songs of djent inspired hip hop |
Shemson
09.02.22 | Djip djop ftw |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | "going for 13 songs of djent inspired hip hop"
Here's a 0 ahead of time |
Mort.
09.02.22 | 'going for 13 songs of djent inspired hip hop'
a full hacktivist album? |
Pheromone
09.02.22 | mort do u think mars would like the streets

Mort.
09.02.22 | yeah his side project isnt great |
Mort.
09.02.22 | also dunno if i actually want has it come to this, not much wordplay on that track |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | Some new clues for y'all |
bgillesp
09.02.22 | Passed my neuro exam fellas! Was a close one, lol. Have no clue what those hints mean though :/ |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | Hell yeah my man! You are doing an awesome job. |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | It's funny, because to me they're obvious, but maybe it's nonsense to others lol |
SlothcoreSam
09.02.22 | So no one has guessed any of hidden tracks yet. Hmmmmm |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | That in of itself should be a good help |
Pheromone
09.02.22 | ok so list of songs i wish to book please sirs
Noname - Blaxploitation
Lupe Fiasco - WAV Files
Juggaknots - Clear Blue Skies

Nujabes - SkyIs Falling |
Shemson
09.02.22 | I thought I was getting the piss taken out me for my Streets pick but glad to see some love for Mike Skinner. The track I chose is a beautiful instrumental with a proper storyline and fits the bill really nice…
Question is if Mars can dig back to back English chav accents with slowthai and Skinner 🤣 |
Pheromone
09.02.22 | lmao mars hasn't rated 36 chambers pass it on |
Shemson
09.02.22 | Yeah pretty much the only high rated rap in Mars’ ratings is one Eminem album, some Lupe and Cunninlinguists. Also noticed some Denzel 4s
Can’t work out any of the clues though :(
I dibs’d a track of 36 Chambers but the production is so piss poor when it’s in a playlist with modern rap it just needed to go sadly
|
Shemson
09.02.22 | Also Phero paper planes is a jam, haven’t heard that in years nice |
Shemson
09.02.22 | Congrats to bgillesp too, just re-read the last bit of the thread |
Shemson
09.02.22 | Oh hol’ up
Dibs Gold Watch by Lupe - is that hidden item 3 yeah? |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | Nay |
Shemson
09.02.22 | Damn, un-dibsed
That made sense for time and Midas lol |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | The first clues are meant to help narrow down either the artist or the album.
Mr. Bolton does not reference the political figure.
Second clue for #2 should be a dead giveaway.
It's "like" the expression... flip it on its head. |
Shemson
09.02.22 | Is number 2 Rap God? |
Shemson
09.02.22 | Gold digger has a feature G |
Shemson
09.02.22 | I think I got number 2 and the colour thing is because he’s ‘shady’
I really hope that’s it because I need the points and that’s so loose that I love it |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | Both y'all wong |
Shemson
09.02.22 | Ah there it is, good work J |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | All the albums that I give clues for, I have heard/rated
|
Shemson
09.02.22 | I’ve scrolled through your ratings way too many times now man lol |
Shemson
09.02.22 | I’m guessing the first one is Kanye given that he sampled Michael Bolton but I can’t work out what song makes sense for your clue |
SlothcoreSam
09.02.22 | So the first clue narrows down the Artist and album.
I was to busy looking at individual songs. |
DavidYowi
09.02.22 | Wait is Scarface - No Tears not the answer for clue 1? |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | If a correct song had already been picked, the item would be edited to reflect it was taken. |
DavidYowi
09.02.22 | Fuck me damn I thought I had it |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | Perhaps you're on the right track. Perhaps you're not. |
DavidYowi
09.02.22 | Changed Scarface - No Tears to Scarface - Mind Playin Tricks 94. Put it right between Biggie - Everyday Struggle and Danny Brown - Downward Spiral |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | List edited |
SlothcoreSam
09.02.22 | Nice one David!
For hidden item 2
I was gonna guess Chance the Rapper - Angels off the album Coloring book, but it's got a featured artist. |
DavidYowi
09.02.22 | Let’s goooooo ty Mars |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | I still think #2 should be easy. |
Shemson
09.02.22 | How about Freddie Gibbs - 20 Karat Jesus for #3?
Calling dibs and crossing fingers |
MarsKid
09.02.22 | Negative |
bgillesp
09.03.22 | Only rapper I can think of for 2 is Lil B, lol. He has a “—- Flame” album in every color |
Shemson
09.03.22 | I was thinking of Tyler, The Creator and it could be the title track of Wolf or Goblin but Mars didn’t rank them |
MarsKid
09.03.22 | Y'all gonna have to keep looking. |
MarsKid
09.04.22 | Still plenty of time, but don't let that deadline sneak up on y'all! |
bgillesp
09.04.22 | So can you explain the mr Bolton hint? |
MarsKid
09.04.22 | Gonna add some new hints today
As for Bolton, it references Michael Bolton, the character from Office Space who's jamming to Scarface on his commute to work. |
Slex
09.04.22 | Isn't that The Lonely Island |
MarsKid
09.04.22 | New clues |
MarsKid
09.04.22 | "Isn't that The Lonely Island"
it is also a character from a thingy |
Shemson
09.04.22 | Yo Mars how about Kanye Power for number two? I found a way to tick all three clues off there!
I was thinking Eminem Superman but you don’t have Eminem show ranked and then I thought Chance the Rapper Coloring Book but there don’t seem any songs there that fit the other bits! |
MarsKid
09.04.22 | Incorrect on all |
DavidYowi
09.04.22 | "As for Bolton, it references Michael Bolton, the character from Office Space who's jamming to Scarface on his commute to work."
Yeah that's why I picked No Tears at first because he was bumping that track in his car |
SlothcoreSam
09.04.22 | Gravediggaz- Pass The shovel |
SlothcoreSam
09.04.22 | No actually change that to Aesop Rock - Shovel |
MarsKid
09.04.22 | Nay |
MarsKid
09.04.22 | Nay x2 |
SlothcoreSam
09.04.22 | Fuck, that made sense, off the album Labor Days, time= money |
Shemson
09.04.22 | Feel you sloth, I’ve come up with multiple ideas that make perfect sense to me lol
I hope it’s not something I actually listen to once it’s revealed 🤣 |
MarsKid
09.04.22 | At least one is painfully obvious and y'all will be kicking yourselves if you miss it |
Shemson
09.05.22 | Gonna lock this in now unless I can suddenly work out those clues
Really annoyed I haven’t twigged it
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Genesis Owusu - I Dont See Colour
Outkast - Ms. Jackson
slowthai - Toaster
The Streets - Too Late

Shemson
09.05.22 | I’d have had a lot more modern rap if it wasn’t for the features rule Storm!
Most modern rap artists seem obsessed with having a feature in their best tracks, all the best RTJ for example |
Pheromone
09.05.22 | i want vince staples norf norf too please thanks u
|
Pheromone
09.05.22 | Big K.R.I.T. - Bury Me in Gold lmao ffs |
Pheromone
09.05.22 | ridiculous showing |
Pheromone
09.05.22 | that is my guess for 3 thanks for listening |
Shemson
09.05.22 | Oh yeah that was hiding in plain sight - good catch Phero |
Shemson
09.05.22 | The best answer I have for number 2 is
Goldie Lookin’ Chain - Half Man Half Machine 🤣
If you haven’t heard it they’re like a Welsh Lonely Island, great stuff |
Shemson
09.05.22 | Enjoying the new JID, might end up switching something up seeing as you rated Slowthai last album as average I’m guessing you don’t feel English rapper’s accents |
Shemson
09.05.22 | Mars are you sure number 2 isn’t Rap God 🤣
You rated it
Shady implies he knows all the colours (shades)
God is more than human
He announces at the start he has six minutes for your third clue |
MarsKid
09.05.22 | Shemson, you're short 1 track for 13 total.
List is edited. |
MarsKid
09.05.22 | I've only got 3 albums submitted thus far. Don't wait TOO long my dude!
One hidden item remains unclaimed. . . . . |

Sorry I missed my Lupe when typing it out |
Shemson
09.05.22 | It’s not Kanye - I Am A God is it Mars?
Don’t get where the time clue comes in and I’m not sure you’d be picking that track anyway! |
Pheromone
09.05.22 | Damn I was toying with Ms Jackson for the longest time...
you win mr team man |
Pheromone
09.05.22 | finding a flow for the album is harder than most of the genres so far - i guess coz of how broad hip hop spans and the differences in eras etc
also marsywarsy, do I need to add the Big KRIT tune to my album to acquire the rewards of guesssin |
MarsKid
09.05.22 | Yes you do |
MarsKid
09.05.22 | No answer thus far has claimed item 2 |
Shemson
09.05.22 | Agreed Phero, this is the hardest round to flow tracks into each other for me too
I had to ditch Wu-Tang because their production doesn’t hit hard enough next to modern tracks which feels so wrong
I was also toying with Risingson before Johnny took it so I’ve got for the more straight hip hop of Blue Lines |
Shemson
09.05.22 | I love the paranoid atmosphere and 3Ds delivery in Risingson but Tricky and 3Ds back and forth on Blue Lines is nice, I’ll probably keep it |
Pheromone
09.05.22 | is 2 any of the lupe mural trilogy |
Mort.
09.05.22 | i woul like to dibs mf doom - accordian pls |
SlothcoreSam
09.05.22 | I already guessed mural, and someone had Ms mural |
SlothcoreSam
09.05.22 | JPEGMAFIA makes sense for the first clue on 2,but can't find a song to match any others |
Shemson
09.05.22 | Yeah I looked through their discog too Sloth lol
If it’s as obvious as Mars says I’m gonna be fuming I’ve wasted a lot of time here 🤣 |
MarsKid
09.05.22 | Hint #2 is likely a victim of massive overthinking. |
bgillesp
09.05.22 | Heck I should’ve gotten the Big KRIT track. |
bgillesp
09.05.22 | At least it was my own teammate though |
SlothcoreSam
09.05.22 | What about Tyler the creator - Puppet |
MarsKid
09.05.22 | No pt. 1,000,000 |
SlothcoreSam
09.06.22 | Fuck it, I'm done. Lots of story telling here, and got the flow smooth.

09.06.22 | Y'all should try to take the second hint a bit more literally.
It's staring right at you. |
SlothcoreSam
09.06.22 | You might need to take a breather after listening to Dance With The Devil, holy fuck it is powerful. (Good and bad) |
Mort.
09.06.22 | its frank ocean - nights
frank is an ocean, not quite human. he could be a designer. a night is a moment in time
boom easy |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | 5/10 albums in! Don't make me start pestering shoutboxes.
One hidden item remains. |
Pheromone

wish me luk |
Shemson
09.06.22 | Lol Mort, a valiant effort
I still say it’s Rap God, I can’t think of anything better |
bgillesp
09.06.22 | So are the teams graded on average score? I’m asking because I’m wondering if whoever loses this round will be at a major disadvantage for the next round or not. Or are the teams only for this round? |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | Teams are graded on total points on a per round basis, not an average. Objective is to score as high as possible to get as many points as possible. |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | Y'all are really missing the last item and it's sooo out in the open lol |
Pheromone
09.06.22 | 1. Big K.R.I.T. - Bury Me In Gold

better keep that promise SIR |
Pheromone
09.06.22 | can't believe mars is like the only other astronautalis stan on this website and im not using an astro song whats the point mans |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | Sounds a lot like a 'you' problem and not a 'me' problem. |
Pheromone
09.06.22 | : O |
Pheromone
09.06.22 | 93' til infinity by souls of mischief would work well for clue 2 for the last 2 hints
|
MarsKid
09.06.22 | And they continue to miss it. . . . . |
Pheromone
09.06.22 | maybe u r just wrong |
bgillesp
09.06.22 | So whoever loses a member this round is guaranteed to lose all 5 of their member this phase. We better win team! |
bgillesp
09.06.22 | If it’s 5 rounds, it’ll be impossible to come back from a member deficit |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | "So whoever loses a member this round is guaranteed to lose all 5 of their member this phase. We better win team!"
Not necessarily; you got hidden items + other team could suck one round.
This will be the same as Phase 1 where it will last for 5 rounds until the next phase. Phase 3 kicks in when we're down to 5 players. |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | The contestants will be informed individually when all albums are locked in/deadlines passes. What they do with their info is up to their discretion. |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | Gonna add one final hint. Then I will say nothing else. |
Shemson
09.06.22 | Fucking hell |
Shemson
09.06.22 | Well done Johnny.
Explain your clues Mars, I don’t get the first clue at all? |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | Siul Hughes is a portmanteau of "See all hues." So he would be a great designer, as he'd be able to see/know every color.
Not quite human is because of the album title, 'Hueman,' which is literally not quite human.
The third clue is very nearly just the song.
The fourth clue is the date I reviewed it, because I reviewed it in 2020 when it came out. |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | You will have to edit it into your album to fully claim it, so make the appropriate adjustment by round's end. |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | I told y'all that Hint #2 was staring right at you lol |
Shemson
09.06.22 | Jesus that first one is some cryptic crossword shit, good work
I got the others after I saw it
I think because you’d said it was obvious I thought it was a well know artist but damn man I checked through your ratings so many times I can’t believe I didn’t clock that album title! |
MarsKid
09.06.22 | I figured at least one of the hidden items had to be from mah boi Hughes, although I didn't expect it to be as difficult as it became. |
SlothcoreSam
09.06.22 | Lol, I was searching for songs and albums called "Uman", and "Huma", didn't think of adding an extra letter. |
Shemson
09.06.22 | Waiting for sloth to drop Gary Numan 🤣 |

(was gonna use this version)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVRv1dA5Byc |
MarsKid
09.08.22 | Mort, I recommend avoiding that track and going with a safer option. |
Mort.
09.08.22 | fuck off im using it. its a producer introducing the song, not in a verse or chorus, and hes not featured in most versions of the track
get wrecked |
MarsKid
09.08.22 | Mind if I 1 your album? |
MarsKid

Exit stage left thank u for playing |

09.08.22 | isnt lupe fiasco some sort of epidemic |
MarsKid
09.08.22 | Looks like everyone is locked in. Just need to make final additions. |
Shemson
09.09.22 | Honestly, I only picked Lupe because Mars was judging and 4.5d 3 of his albums
I learned in the deathcore and Djent rounds that sometimes you gotta play the game rather than just go with personal preference! |
MarsKid
09.09.22 | Lupe Fiasco is also a genius |
MarsKid
09.09.22 | Who are you? |
Shemson
09.09.22 | I definitely don’t regret the Lupe pick I made Mars, he’s just not on my normal ‘go-to’ list.
I’m kind of annoyed I didn’t grab Crack Sandwich off the new JID as that album is really nice for the 10% of my life I’m not playing The Callous Daoboys right now |
Shemson
09.09.22 | I did enjoy The Moirai when I shamelessly pandered to Mars in the emo round |

09.10.22 | I wanted to add Regulate so badly to this, but mother fucking Nate Dog had to feature.
Best hip hop song eva |
Shemson
09.10.22 | Nate Dogg is one of those artists that is incredible at features but I’m not sure I’ve ever heard one of his standalone tracks.
Similar to Snoop after Doggystyle tbf I know loads of songs he’s on but not really his songs |

MarsKid
09.10.22 | Hello friends,
Given the nature of this round, I'm shooting to release results on Wednesday at the latest. It's gonna take time and I can't listen at work since i want to be specifically checking/paying attention to lyrics.
So. Bit longer turn-around than usual, but next rounds genre is set in place and ready to go, so should be able to get things rolling fast. |
bgillesp
09.10.22 | Sounds good |
MarsKid
09.10.22 | Really need to dive far more into rap than I have, I typically enjoy it but have never quite taken the plunge. This round is a great sampler plate. |
bgillesp
09.11.22 | I’m in a similar boat. I have a ton or rap/hip-hop I enjoy, but I have barely scratched the surface of a lot of the “classics” |
Shemson
09.11.22 | Nice one Mars, a bit more time to listen makes sense this round.
I’ve only really started to get into hip hop this year myself so I might listen to a few of my rivals lists too. |
SlothcoreSam
09.12.22 | Whilst you guys wait, check out my 2nd list, it's a great history lesson.

That does not sound very Christian G |
SlothcoreSam
09.12.22 | "Hot sex with my pit bull, drink some red bull."
The lyrics Mars was after.
Mel Gibson by Lil B is worse. |
Mort.
09.13.22 | yes and we are fucked because i basically dont know what wordplay is sorry |

Reason: spent all Sunday watching the NFL RIP
Sorry for the delay lads but it's comin! |
Mort.
09.13.22 | look, i just find words confusing |
Shemson
09.13.22 | Oh no way, Mort’s a cool cat
Guess it’ll need to be the one with the lowest score getting eliminated for fairness sake |
Mort.
09.13.22 | ditch shemson for using the phrase cool cat? |
Mort.
09.13.22 | signs, signified? look, structuralism sucks bby |

Pheromone
09.15.22 | > Guess it’ll need to be the one with the lowest score getting eliminated for fairness sake
phooey real men eliminate the one with the highest score to mark dominance |
Sinternet
09.15.22 | wow im actually kinda nervous bros
what if mars is britophobic?
could i sue for discrimination? |
Shemson
09.15.22 | Lol Phero the real power move is eliminating your nearest competition for sure
If Mars isnt feeling the English accents then my Slowthai and Streets 1 2 will not go down well Sint lol |
Pheromone
09.15.22 | I avoided weak become heroes even though it’s the greatest song of all time bcos mike skinner is acquired and also fuck it didn’t fit at all in the album |
Shemson
09.15.22 | Great track. I went for Its Too Late because the strings are legit beautiful, so much so it could be a Massive Attack b-side imo |
Pheromone
09.15.22 | steak hold me |
MarsKid
09.15.22 | Goin' up tonight
Every album had a ton of solid tracks, and a lot of great lyrics. Had to make some judgement calls and look into other criteria to weigh tiebreakers and such.
One person, who for now remains nameless, may have made a violation... |
SlothcoreSam
09.15.22 | "One person, who for now remains nameless, may have made a violation..."
I just checked and one of my tracks (Immortal Technique - Dance with the Devil) has a hidden track attached to it on Spotify, which has Diabolic spitting a few words.
But technically it's not on the track I chose, so I hope Mars can see past this. |
Pheromone
09.15.22 | my one track samples Saba’s dead cousin rip
omg federer just retired |
Mort.
09.15.22 | lets stop worrying and just see and then argue afterwards and call mars a stupid ninny |
Pheromone
09.15.22 | I never worry, please please believe me |
MarsKid
09.15.22 | Damn. I was hoping he'd snag another win before bowing out. |
bgillesp
09.15.22 | I feel like whichever team got the 20 point boost automatically wins no matter what the album scores are |
MarsKid
09.15.22 | Maybe it pays to sleuth, you never know! |
Shemson
09.15.22 | I’m genuinely so cross I never found one of your clues, I’m normally good at the cryptic stuff! |
SlothcoreSam
09.15.22 | Team A 5+5+5+5+5+10 = 35
Team B 3+3+3+3+4+20 = 36
Yeah, whoever gets the 20 points wins hand down |
bgillesp
09.15.22 | It more than pays. It’s the only viable option apparently |
MarsKid
09.15.22 | The clues aren't gonna be this easy, and I wouldn't be surprised if some good unclaimed in the future. |
Mort.
09.15.22 | new round soon pls mr mars? |
