Tilted's Walrus - Reveal Time

Can someone remind me how scoring works?

Last place gets 1 pt, then each place after that gets +1 pt. Until 1st gets 13 pts or however many are in this walrus.

I definitely missed someone because I have 10 entriesā€¦ Oops. Nothing personal!

heh @suzzer99

First of all. Thank you all for participating. I really appreciate the time and effort everyone put in although some of you startedā€¦ not great. Just a note on the methodologyā€¦ Iā€™m probably inconsistent as I donā€™t have set guidelines on what I was looking for in my categories. Just remember itā€™s all fun and games and the points donā€™t matter.

In last place we have a shared artist. Unfortunately for you both I am not a huge fan of The Beastie Boys. Some songs are fine, but you both chose ones thatā€¦ arenā€™t? Itā€™s cool we all make bad choices sometimes. I actually really like the sample you chose but the hip hop song wasnā€™t it at all for me. If you would have picked Kendricks ā€œIā€ with the same sample you probably would have hit the podium. 1 point for you.

Yupā€¦ the other beastie boys song. I felt like I was getting my head kicked in with a trashcan on both of these songs. Gif below to help you understand. As my first girlfriend saidā€¦ Itā€™s not you, itā€™s me.

This one was a little too on the nose for me. Itā€™s like you almost googled ā€œfamous rap songs and itā€™s coverā€. I donā€™t mind the song or the cover and you are getting penalized for a lack of imagination. Again, itā€™s probably not you, its me. Actually this one might be on you.

Almost picked a Beastie Boys song myself.

This one was unique in that the sample is one of those songs that Iā€™ll never get tired of. I still listen to it frequently. The issue was that the main song just didnā€™t it for me. The sample was a little underwhelming and the rapping was ā€œnasallyā€ like I really want to give that guy a yearly prescription of Flonase.

Thanks for the @ and the low score. Oh well. I guess I should know better than to pick well-known songs, but when it comes to loving both the song and the sampled song, this was really the one for me. I especially liked how it embraced and celebrated the song it was sampling rather than just taking a beat that you might not even recognize as being sampled without the internet or encyclopedic knowledge.

I avoided the nodium on the category I knew the least about. this makes me happy

8th should get 3 pts. 7th gets 4 pts

ETA: Curse test

Forgot to @ you and shit on your songā€¦ Yikes! :slight_smile:

Numbers are hard. Edited and thanks.

Happy to avoid the nodium

The next 3 were all really close and I actually had this one higher on my first rankings. Unfortunately for you, I chose today to reveal and not Friday.

Iā€™ll probably be adding both of these to my Spotify, but the combo together missed some ā€œsaucinessā€ that some of the others had.

Love MF Doom. Love this pick. Loved all the other ones just a bit more though. Canā€™t talk much shit here other than the sample was a little distant. Great pick.
