honestly, about the same. Maybe slightly lower because of familiarity (Green Day is one of my husband’s favorites, so I’ve heard this before)

WINNER!

In 1st place for 9 points

God in the Building by Killer Mike

Holy shit this is a powerful song. Just absolutely exactly what rap should be. This moved up the list because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. The melody, the lyrics, the message, everything is just a home run. This song finally made me understand why Killer Mike is so influential. Also, you really benefitted from the random chance that I had just rewatched Ray, and I couldn’t help but compare this gorgeous combination of gospel and rap with Ray Charles’ “blasphemous” combination of Gospel with R&B back in the day. I haven’t really read much about Killer Mike, but knowing he is from Atlanta, I can’t help but think Ray Charles was an influence. Fucking hell, great job.

Always go with your first choice!

i did. the first song that came to mind is what i sent. i knew it’s not ‘special’ enough (although i like it), so i switched to this. then i switched to the RTJ song i ended up sending seties and decided to ‘always go with your first choice’.

it’s not my fav killer mike song or close to it tho.

Seriously y’all, amazing job. This was hands down the highest-quality category I’ve ever had to judge. Every song was a winner in my book, and I have added literally every one to my playlist. Though I might have to skip The Loophole if anyone civilized is in the car with me :stuck_out_tongue:

Good category, nice reveal.

Has anyone ever done a category “song that means a lot to you”? The nodium would be crushing. “Yeah, this song that means a lot to you: I hated it.”

My joker score of 1.5 would get dropped.

so you get 37+5+0.5 (cause seities decided that your joker bonus remains regardless) i think

basically, we all have to win. :stuck_out_tongue:

I have no idea of my chances in Matt’s category, tbh. I picked an upbeat song from a band I like. Here’s hoping.

This is mine. I had a really weak entry then saw a What’s in my Bag with LP and found this song and it fit perfect. They have quite the voice.
