Sooty's 2011 Year In Review Countdownmania

[Cosmic Harmony]

No, she had not....and I wasn't about to spoil the surprise for her either. Yes, I do in fact know that I'm sinister.

Which song, "Heartache and Pain"? I'm pretty sure I commented on that particular song in Charles Bradley's official thread.

 

[Sunny]

I need to set some time aside to listen to this thread properly but funnily enough I was singing Round & Round - 3 Doors Down just before I logged onto the forum

Yes, you did Cosmic but I got that you were talking about his style in general. I wasn't sure if that song stood out to you but seeing him do it live really brought another level to it. he really channels a lot through that song.

Sunny, it's funny, I'm used to liking different songs on a particular album than my peers but these picks seem to match others favorites from the same albums as well.

Bad meets Evil-A Kiss

[Intro:]
I wanna get a kiss, kiss, kiss x4

[Verse 1: Royce da 5'9"]
nickle nina n**** Twitter beefing, first rapper that shot a fan
Gucci's my absolute state of mind, like Waka's man
Chopper's brand, getting head in the car park, new Gallardo
This bitch ****ing my **** today, call it yesterday's news tomorrow
Stretch a n**** out, I'm the new Tae-bo,
Bout to cross over, I'm the new IOVA
Bout to saves a couple of these bitches that's right, I'm the new Bible
You? You 5.0, me? I'm all grounded to punishments, but I'm too fly though
Y'all n***** be whinin', I should call you Moscato

[Eminem:]
Look down at the floorboard
It looks like someone left a pair of stiletto shoes in my Tahoe
Never know what type of a ho inside of my ride I may let
Last night at 5AM, and she ain't even recover from last Friday yet
Hoes all over the ride like it's an ice cream truck, I can see why they fret
I already ran over two hoes and I ain't get out the ****ing drive way yet
Soon as I open the door, you try to resist, what for?
Get in girl, don't push shorty
Your, fightin' an unwinable war, it's useless, tits on a boar, little tits on a whore
Got a mack and it's screaming like little kids throwing fits on the floor
Get in the whip but you ain't turning, a frog into a prince
What you keep tryna convincing me for?

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Eminem]
Now you in my whip just long as you understand that I can't be whipped
You say companionship, I say abandon ship, I'm a gigolo so you know
I'm always on the go, I ain't got no time to slow down for no relation shit
Drop the P and add a T, yeah, you can get mad at me all you want
But I'm ghost before you can even say boo, hun let alone call me one
A one-night stand is only once but a female fan yeah a one leg stand
So its all about a one nightstand in a bedroom has two lamps and only one
Nightstand Get the hint? Ooh yeah boo, ew! I ain't finna
Argue but why do you think they call it boo?
Yeah, cause the sound of it's 'posed to scare you

[Royce da 5'9":]
oh ho, we can share you in the back of the McLaren
I don't give a **** what your name is, we gon' call you hot and bi
Hope you bi in the mean time your name is Sharon
Slow the flow down so I can what? Tell you same face i make
When I'm shooting the guns the same face that I make when I ****
From the back of your neck my hand pressing your face against the sheets it's insane
You been changed, cause I'm outta this world girl I got that Milky Way **** vein
I'm at an all-time high with highness, I'm at an all-time fly with flyness
And this is exactly what they say when they bow to your highness

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Royce da 5'9"]
nickle nina Twitter beefing, first rapper that shot a fan
(Push ya chick out the car while it's moving like Waka's man)
Her bottom's dark, but her top is tan, her private parts
Got her on the pole like the opposite of her papa's plan
(Come on stripper, let's hit the strip 180 and drop the trance
I'm in the trance like look at this bitch dance)
Looking at this girl, like what you wearing girl, quit playing
(You wearing them scratch and sniff pants? Well let me scratch 'em)
Let me sniff, yeah (What?) Did I say that?
I'm on lean like Styrofoam cups and kickstands

[Eminem:]
Middle finger stuck on ****, sniff pants
But girl you got a butt like no if ands, so yeah what the hell, maybe
All hail, Shady, he'll tell it like it is
So tell Katy Perry he's on her tail, he's tailgating
These bells are my mating call and I'm here, bell's waiting and tell Lady
Gaga, she can quit her job at the post office, she's still a male lady
Wouldn't **** her with her **** you heard it, the verdict's in, he's allergic to divas
he'll take meat cleavers 'em, him don't give a damn about Beiber doin
What a demon, a behemoth, evil just seems to be seething through him

[Royce da 5'9":]
I like this lil strip tease you doing this evening you and me gon' find
Three more chickadees and have a menage like Nikki
You hot like a Dickie outfit in Texas without shit under it, sweating
Suck my dick, we both gets to steppin to my logic

[Eminem:]
My god trick, my **** is as hard and thick as a yardstick
What we gonna do? Ride around 'til we're carsick
Then I'm gonna put this shit in park like dog shit
And you can blow me in the dark in the parking lot
Out of the trailer park by the garbage
What you waiting on? Me to roll out the carpet?
The condoms are in the glove compartment, let's start it
Think I'm joking? What, am I sitting here
Tryna make fake farts with my armpits?
Tryna get you to spit pot through your nose?
Am I here to amuse you? Stop it

[Royce da 5'9":]
I'm in your pocket outside of a church
The other hands reaching for the bottom of your purse
You giving me head in a boxing stance
My ****'s so big you could drop it in dirt
I'm not your man, we're sparring partners
There's five things you are in charge of, that's
****ing a ****, ****ing a ****, ****ing a ****
****ing a ****, ****ing a ****

[Eminem:]
If you ain't ***ing a ****, why you sitting there
With puckered lips? That's collagen, motha****ing bitch
What you mean how'd you, get suckered into this
You gon' jump into my truck and then try to get truculent?
(You should be suffering, you should be cooking
You should be buckling your seatbelt with oven mitts)
Excuse me while I'm making an ass of myself
But it's only cause I just wanna get...

[Chorus]

My first hip-hop intro and likely to have the most bitches and moans and "Oh my God, what's happened to society. Rock's never disrespected woman!" Anyway, the material on the Eminem/Roll's Da Royce 9 pales in comparison to Eminem's recovery. B-side material compared to that at most which tells why it's so low on the list. I like the fact that Em is putting that effort into helping a friend while Em himself is in the prime of his career. To me the obnoxiousness and bravado of this song fits the idea of Bad Meets Evil waaaaay more than the Bruno Mars featured single "Lighters" and that's why it makes the list. Eminems brilliant wordplay in verse 2 is excellent and produced legit chuckles from me. I love the Boo, relationshit and nightstand lines. If someone doesn't get how over the top this song is then we can't talk about it because it's obvious. To me, the fact that any woman would be dumb enough to deal with the clown characters in this and the caricatures of Eminem and Rolls as pimps who don't care has rarely been done better. Most amusing lyrics of the year.

Bonus Countdown: Top 10 Albums That I Missed This Year

#4
Blink 182-Neighborhoods

I really love the last self titled album before this. It was my favorite. Makes me excited to see how good this one is or if they back stepped. I also liked how I heard it was a mix mash of all the styles of bands they've done since. My friend says it still hasn't caught him yet but I still want to buy it and try it for myself.

#3
Stain'd-Stain'd

My problem with Stain'd is that they've been putting out the same album for years. The fact that they actually were going back to their heavier roots got my attention and I wanted this album. Aaron Lewis has one of the best vocals in his genre of music so seeing them giving the rest of the music a makeover or rebirth was a great thing to get me interested again.​

 

[ILoveJimmyPage]

What did you think of the Nicki Minaj tune that featured Em, Soots?

What did you think of the Nicki Minaj tune that featured Em, Soots?

I liked it but it didn't feel like the usual Em'!

 

[ILoveJimmyPage]

Fair enough! Where's your mini countdown? I feel like it's Christmas morning when I get to check those out.

 

[Soot and Stars]

Fair enough! Where's your mini countdown? I feel like it's Christmas morning when I get to check those out.

Edited in! I messed up!

 

[Sunny]

Blink 182 - Neighbourhoods was one of my Christmas gifts but haven't had much time to myself yet to have a REAL listen.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Yes, you did Cosmic but I got that you were talking about his style in general. I wasn't sure if that song stood out to you but seeing him do it live really brought another level to it. he really channels a lot through that song.

Well as I've said (I think in my countdown) there is a sameness to all of Charles' songs but I did feel "Heartaches and Pain" more than most of the songs on that album, especially knowing the truthfulness behind it. In that live performance I could feel and see how much it meant to him. More than in the studio though he sounded like he was shouting more than actually singing. That's the only drawback I'd say but the emotional fortitude of it balance that out I think.
