best of Tom Vercetti's Best Of 2017 | Finished

[SLIME]

Power is really really really good, wish she got more buzz this year too but happy for her Grammy nom. I ****ed with some Hakim songs too this year but I don't remember if that was one of them, eventually I'll check out the album though

 

I didn't know anyone dragged Julie  she had the much better Starbucks album this year between her and Feist imo

[TheWayWeWere]

Vintage is cute jam, but I still think this girl is kinda overrated by atrl

Opera House

180. Julie Byrne

I heard and rejected a lot of songs so the fact that she's on my list counts for something.  No worries though, she may appear again in the future. 

[moonlight.]

Vintage was a cute lil song, i prefer Paper Love more tho. 

& lemme check out all these songs, never heard any of them  

[That Bad Eartha]

Rapsody's career feels very Queen Latifah-esque. Doesn't focus on sex in her raps and releases some really great stuff, but mostly flies under the radar. Happy she is getting some awards recognition though.

[Temporal]

My friend keeps trying to get me to listen to Moonchild, I guess I'll have to do that  

 

Looks like you like kinda trippy stuff  

[theblackestday]

Everything Everything's album was meh, as you said. Cigarettes After Sex was cute but becomes monotonous and corny after awhile.

 

Love Natural Blue and Vintage is okay, one of the more memorable songs from that Allie X album imo

 

[Staryu]

Vintage, Opera House, Power  

[Legend E]

I'll play some of these

[K$Ellie]

Tsunami is one of the few good songs on Witness, wish it were higher

Vintage is such a bop, definitely her best after Bitch

I can see the comparison. As long as she's focused and getting background acclaim and not making a fool out of herself like some others this year, then she'll be good.

I can handle some CAS songs on their own, but a full album is where it becomes tricky.

Benjamin Booker

#170-#156 tomorrow. There's one song in the later updates that may be controversial. But I stand by it! 

[jose168]

Power, Good shot and vintage  

Agreed on EE, i stan them down (saw em live a few weeks ago) but Fever dream was a let down, they consciously toned it down for whatever reason when the leads voice is so erratic it only shines in bright spontaneous production

[Vilppu]

ahh liked the actual good Witness released this year a lot

 

Vintage was okay, among the better parts of that album for sure, and who the hell drags Julie? Also Cigarettes After Sex sounds better in theory than in reality for me.

[Eeveelution]

Julie is too low but I'll take it! I don't think she makes Starkbucks music tho.  

 

i actually liked the EE album but I never heard their debut so.

I would recommend their best album

 

 

[Same Ol' Mistakes]

I'm just seeing now the Tsunami praise and it is so unexpected from you tbh. It's a great song btw, one of the best on Witness
