Post by a Nick O! on Jan 3, 2006 2:35:33 GMT -4
Correct. And Kirk, for #40, even if you've never heard the actual song, you should at least be able to take another stab at the artist. Anyway, for everyone, here's the clue again. If I need to add more hints, let me know.
40. She's got 3 songs I've actually heard. The first one was a fine ballad maybe 5 years ago. The next one was just god-awful, and this follow-up single has nothing to do with anything, with seemingly random, stupid lyrics. She sings country. Jo Dee Messina "Delicious Surprise (I Believe It)" (halo19)
30. Main hit is from 10 years ago, namechecking a Cadillac in the chorus. They tried for a comeback this past year. In 2004 they tried abbreviating their name and doing a single with Kanye West. It failed to ignite, so the record was pushed back to 2005, when they re-lengthened their name and left its abbreviation as the album title. This single with another notorious hitmaker also bombed but not as badly. Do or Die f/ R. Kelly "Magic Chick" (mtm4319)
29. Hey everybody: let's have fun, escape the police and return to resume our fun. Young Jeezy "My Hood" (mtm4319)
28. Written by and guested on by the same hitmaker at #30. Since hardass females are unsexy, here's yet another rote, "edgy, street" love ballad. Its title and concept make me want to projectile vomit over the hitmaker and his muse. Sharissa f/ R. Kelly "In Love with a Thug" (mtm4319)
27. A Memphis rapper whose song title evokes 40-hour work weeks. If I need to hint at his name, I will, however this song was at least N&A on the Urban format this fall, so I'll see if anyone knows who I'm talking about. Yo Gotti "Full Time" (mtm4319)
26. Brand new single from group contending for the worst rap act award right now. Surely this will carry over into next year, too. D4L "Betcha Can't Do It Like Me" (mtm4319)
25. Horribly spelled song (I guess to make it more "edgy" and "street") that hearkens back to 1997. Pussycat Dolls "Stickwitu" (slinky)
24. Hot mess of a song with grubby hands in two different cookie jars. Could it be argued that this song invites rape? Maybe. Beyonce f/ Slim Thug "Check on It" (mtm4319)
23. Obligatory "love ballad" that's such a blatant attempt to win female fans, but it fails because @$$hole tries remains too "tough" to sound convincing. Tony Yayo f/ Joe "Curious" (halo19)
22. Stupidest name and album title of the year. What the f**k do either of them mean? Infuriatingly, this song just set the stage for worse to come. Pretty Ricky "Grind With Me" (halo19)
21. The posse jumps on this current single. I'm glad you're all getting played by this broad, assclowns. Tony Yayo f/ 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks & Young Buck "I Know You Don't Love Me" (Mega248)

Is #40 "Delicious Surprise" by Jo Dee Messina?... I could probably think of others, but that's the first that comes to mind...

Yes on 25. No on 21. Its primary artist is a guy. I'd like to wait and see if at least Sunny can guess any of these before adding more hints.

OK, I wanna keep this moving, so I'm gonna add more hints:
30. Main hit is from 10 years ago, namechecking a Cadillac in the chorus. They tried for a comeback this past year. In 2004 they tried abbreviating their name and doing a single with Kanye West. It failed to ignite, so the record was pushed back to 2005, when they re-lengthened their name and left its abbreviation as the album title. This single with another notorious hitmaker also bombed but not as badly. Group name also the name of a recent Papa Roach album cut. Song title is very similar to Lil' Kim's biggest hit. Do or Die f/ R. Kelly "Magic Chick" (mtm4319)
29. Hey everybody: let's have fun, escape the police and return to resume our fun. This is his new radio single, only on BET yesterday, his new video was a split, and neither song was in it. Young Jeezy "My Hood" (mtm4319)
28. Written by and guested on by the same hitmaker at #30. Since hardass females are unsexy, here's yet another rote, "edgy, street" love ballad. Its title and concept make me want to projectile vomit over the hitmaker and his muse. She hasn't had any big hits so far and maybe I should've said "urinate on" instead of "projectile vomit over." Sharissa f/ R. Kelly "In Love with a Thug" (mtm4319)
27. A Memphis rapper whose song title evokes 40-hour work weeks. If I need to hint at his name, I will, however this song was at least N&A on the Urban format this fall, so I'll see if anyone knows who I'm talking about. His stage name consists of the title of Chris Brown's new joint and a Murder Inc. boss. Yo Gotti "Full Time" (mtm4319)
26. Brand new single from group contending for the worst rap act award right now. Surely this will carry over into next year, too. D4L "Betcha Can't Do It Like Me" (mtm4319)
25. Horribly spelled song (I guess to make it more "edgy" and "street") that hearkens back to 1997. Pussycat Dolls "Stickwitu" (slinky)
24. Hot mess of a song with grubby hands in two different cookie jars. Could it be argued that this song invites rape? Maybe. (Despite a couple of tossed off lines about not touching, it can definitely be seen how potential suitors might overlook those lines and let other phrases and hormones warp their minds...at least I sure think it's plausible.) Beyonce f/ Slim Thug "Check on It" (mtm4319)
23. Obligatory "love ballad" that's such a blatant attempt to win female fans, but it fails because @$$hole remains too "tough" to sound convincing. Hey [primary artist], is that cocaine you've been selling? [the guest artist] just wants to know. Tony Yayo f/ Joe "Curious" (halo19)
22. Stupidest name and album title of the year. What the f**k do either of them mean? Infuriatingly, this song just set the stage for worse to come. Pretty Ricky "Grind With Me" (halo19)
21. The posse jumps on this current single. I'm glad you're all getting played by this broad, assclowns. Another miserable, trite, G's up/hoes down song. Tony Yayo f/ 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks & Young Buck "I Know You Don't Love Me" (Mega248)

30. Do or Die - Magic Chick 28. Shawnna - What Can I Do 27. Yo Gotti - Gangsta Party You got #30. 28 is by a lesser known than Shawnna...and she's an R&B girl. Note my clues for its featured artist and how the title infuriates the hell out of me. 27. Check back for the clue regarding the song's title and get back to me.

27. Check back for the clue regarding the song's title and get back to me. Oh yeah... back during the first clue, I knew "9 to 5" was a part of the correct answer, but I think I misread you as saying that was the artist. Yo Gotti - 9 to 5 I'm not well-versed enough on R. Kelly to get #28, so you don't have to wait on me to guess that one tonight.

That sonuvabitch is making this clue extremely difficult for us. I had no idea of that song's existence. It turns out that's on his 2003 album. The one I'm looking for isn't even on an album yet, apparently, just a commercial single released last August on TVT. If I say "40 -plus-hour work week," does that hone in on it better?

Post by a Nick O! on Jan 6, 2006 20:16:42 GMT -4
Nothin' doing, eh? Very well, here are even more clues to work with.
29. Hey everybody: let's have fun, escape the police and return to resume our fun. This is his new radio single, only on BET yesterday, his new video was a split, and neither song was in it. He already has one entry on this list. Young Jeezy "My Hood" (mtm4319)
28. Written by and guested on by the same hitmaker at #30. Since hardass females are unsexy, here's yet another rote, "edgy, street" love ballad. Its title and concept make me want to projectile vomit over the hitmaker and his muse. She hasn't had any big hits so far and maybe I should've said "urinate on" instead of "projectile vomit over." Her name rhymes with the lovely Melissa Joan Hart's teenage character on her Nickelodeon show from the '90's. Sharissa f/ R. Kelly "In Love with a Thug" (mtm4319)
24. Hot mess of a song with grubby hands in two different cookie jars. Could it be argued that this song invites sexual assault? Maybe. (Despite a couple of tossed off lines about not touching, it can definitely be seen how potential suitors might overlook those lines and let other phrases and hormones warp their minds...at least I sure think it's plausible.) Currently one of the hottest songs in the country. Beyonce f/ Slim Thug "Check on It" (mtm4319)
23. Obligatory "love ballad" that's such a blatant attempt to win female fans, but it fails because @$$hole remains too "tough" to sound convincing. Hey [primary artist], is that cocaine you've been selling? [the guest artist] just wants to know. Obviously, I'm beating around the bush with the names of the artist and the guest artist both. I might add that 23 & 21 are songs by the same rapper. Tony Yayo f/ Joe "Curious" (halo19)
21. The posse jumps on this current single. I'm glad you're all getting played by this broad, assclowns. Another miserable, trite, G's up/hoes down song. Same artist as #21. Tony Yayo f/ 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks & Young Buck "I Know You Don't Love Me" (Mega248)

I will need to read more into #29 I think. 23 & 21 just plain elude me (I must have overlooked a posse artist on the Mediabase thing).

When you think of hip hop posses in the past two years, who's probably the first one or two that come to mind?

|

Post by halo19 on Jan 7, 2006 4:18:55 GMT -4
Well then I can have an idea of the posse, but the only one I can really think of affiliating that is:
23. 50 Cent f/ Olivia - "Candy Shop"

|
|
Post by a Nick O! on Jan 7, 2006 4:21:42 GMT -4
23. 50 Cent f/ Olivia - "Candy Shop" You're on your way, but it ain't 50. Read the bold clue again.
|
|
|
Post by halo19 on Jan 7, 2006 4:40:09 GMT -4
I guess my main reason for that guess was that I can't think of other G-Unit members that had singles out this year, except Tony Yayo, but that first single didn't have a female vocalist from what I recall (although I know which one I'm leaning towards on who it might be). And looking at the albums & singles, that's how it does seem.

Post by a Nick O! on Jan 7, 2006 17:49:16 GMT -4
Well, I realize I never gave "So Seductive" (f/ 50 Cent) enough of a chance to actually remember it and therefore, possibly include it on this list; I almost always changed the channel on it. So that's not it. I also never specified that the duet partner was a female...
And Young Buck didn't have any singles this year, and Lloyd Banks' last one was running out of steam at the beginning of 2005. And I already said it wasn't 50.
|
|
|
Post by halo19 on Jan 7, 2006 18:22:56 GMT -4
Then I'll guess "Curious" for 23 and "Pimpin'" for 21.
|
|
|
Post by a Nick O! on Jan 7, 2006 18:47:47 GMT -4
You got "Curious," but I believe "Pimpin' " was just the "about-face" for the split video and not an actual single.
21. Note I said they were all getting played by some broad. Tony Yayo f/ 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks & Young Buck "I Know You Don't Love Me" (Mega248)
29. Hey everybody: let's have fun, escape the police and return to resume our fun. This is his new radio single, only on BET yesterday, his new video was a split, and neither song was in it. He already has one entry on this list. Well, let's see here...Slim Thug doesn't have a new single, Juelz Santana does, and the video is a split, however the main piece actually is the single. Baby's album is dead, I don't believe T-Pain's second video is out yet, but it's irrelevant because it's all about strippers, Marques Houston's song isn't about illegal mischief, Lil Wayne doesn't have a new joint out yet, Lil' Flip is probably regrouping as his song dies out, there isn't a new posthumous Biggie single out...gee, guys, that's just about everybody so far, huh? Young Jeezy "My Hood" (mtm4319)
20. I figured this horrendous, repetitive song would be much higher. However, just a tiny shred of catchiness recently seeped in, so it's here at #20. Still awful. D4L "Laffy Taffy" (halo19)
19. The name of a Michelle Rodriguez film from a few years ago, if I recall correctly. Brooke Valentine f/ Big Boi & Lil Jon "Okay" (friday)
18. This bilingual title (I'm being naively literal here) contains a punctuation error, but nevertheless demands beaches and beaches alone. R. Kelly f/ The Game "Playa's Only" (mtm4319)
17. I thought this very blunt sex jam was trite and awful. Featured a 2005 newcomer, though this guest spot wasn't his introduction to the R&B scene. Twista f/ Trey Songz "Girl Tonite" (halo19)
16. He nabbed "one of those hot reggaeton guys" for a guest spot on this current single, and the song, while unimaginative, might not be so bad, except for that obnoxious chorus. Seriously, when the chorus came up the first time, I thought, "Jesus, if this song were an airplane, it just crashed into the mountain." (Don't read any more into that; it's just an analogy.) Twista f/ Pitbull "Hit the Floor" (mtm4319)
15. So I only knew one song by this country artist until now. I liked it, but this song just totally evened the score. Jo Dee Messina "My Give a Damn's Busted" (halo19)
14. If this were an instrumental alone, I might actually like it. It was ruined when mouths opened that tried to (and pretty much did) make this into some dumbass anthem. Young Jeezy f/ Akon "Soul Survivor" (halo19)
13. I never expected a song of hers could be this obnoxious and awful. Thank god it bombed everywhere but TRL, apparently. Britney Spears "Do Somethin' " (BlahBlahBlah)
12. Another oversexed hip hop joint that doesn't sound too blatant at first, but of course, is. The video was just an overblown, big budgeted eyesore whose narrative didn't seem to have a whole lot to do with the subject matter of the song. I guess it was a way of remaining "hard" and "street," despite the lovejam. 50 Cent "Just a Lil' Bit" (halo19)
11. Annoyingly sing-songy jam centered around a "catchphrase." Nivea f/ Lil Jon & YoungBloodz "Okay" (halo19)
