MC Showcase Rankdown (complete)

[Red]

aero's revenge.

God, I hated only putting this top 30. I love Del.

[singingrulebritannia]

"Bring me more high SDs", say the rankdown gods. "Ok", say I, "here's #36." This is easily the soonest anyone has lost a #1 in one of my rankdowns, but it's not like they were alone in their love of the song; 3 more top 10s are blown away as well. There is also one more top 25. Again, half of the survey group put this in their bottom 10. Only two are bottom 5, but they're both bottom 3. This is the last song to spend time at #50.

[Deleted]

ok, NOW this is my #1

Every day is no frills, empty krills
Broken 40 bottles and MCs with skills
I rest my head on 115
But miracles only happen on 34th, so I guess life is mean
And death is the median
And purgatory is the mode that we settle in

Yo, can we go back to revealing songs in my 20's and 30's?

Deep down, I knew this would go out early, but DAMN, I loved this.

[Deleted]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
I knew this was coming lol, this was a first listen and it was absolutely sensational. the beat on this was so icy, the whole song just created a feeling like no other rap song I had heard

[singingrulebritannia]

#35 can't possibly be as big as #36, you say? What if I told you another person loses their #1 here? At the same time, this was someone else's least favorite song in the game, and there's another bottom 5. Countering that was a top 10 and 2 top 20s (another ranking qualifies as top half). Oh, can't leave out the other two bottom 10s. In the top half this song was, in the first half of ballots but nearer the middle. Otherwise, aside from starting out in the bottom 10, it struck a balancing act in the mid-30s.

Casanova Brown levitating jiggy in dashikis
A la hotta car, fifty-four, chasing diamond runners

This was good, but, like, 49 of the songs in this rankdown were good.

[singingrulebritannia]

If it weren't for one top 5 being #34's lone top 15, it would probably have one of the 10 lowest SDs. It has the lowest top half count in a while (3), but also not that many bottom 20s (5)--though all are bottom 15, two are bottom 10, and one is bottom 5. This song was in the top 20 for the first two movements, and reached back into the top 25 near the middle. But it was all downhill after that.

[singingrulebritannia]

Straight from the Land of the Lost
I'mma hit you with the funk force
That make you run your rap style back to the crack aisle, brotha
Then strike a pose like Madonna
My mom's kicked me out because I did what I want to
The original P-Funk, chump, dump a trunk of funk
In your skull caps 'cause my jaw snaps with the raw rap

I did not want to rank this bottom ten. I was not a fan of ranking this bottom ten.

[singingrulebritannia]

High SDs, they just keep coming. #33 is the 5th highest. There's actually an equal chance you put this in your top or bottom half; it's a 7:7 split. There are even top 5s (1), top 10s (2), and top 20s (2) abounding. Problem is, almost everyone who put this in their bottom half was in fact a bottom 10. 4 are bottom 5s!

[singingrulebritannia]

Big nut holder, my boulders smolder on the PA pipes

I can't speak for everyone who ranked this low, but I thought this was good.

[singingrulebritannia]

Boy, at this rate, you guys aren't going to leave any """"fun"""" reveals for the top 25! Starting from the bottom up for #32, the 3rd highest SD: 3 bottoms 5s, 2 bottom 10s, 3 bottom 20. Then you have to jump almost all the way to the top 20 to see two more ranks at the same spot. After that, there are two top 10s and two top 5s. After a rough start, this song bounced between the high 30s and low 20s. It was top half as late as two ballots from the finish.

[singingrulebritannia]

Fuck me

"Well they're just some thugs
Stealing, slum-dwelling, drug-dealing, gun-selling
And a hundred yard dashing after doing purse-snatching
Damn savages who ravages the buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken
With the first dibs on the ribs
Looking like a damn monkey on the football fields and basketball courts
Taking over sports, leaving us just to golf and to tennis"

Nooo

[Red]

Well, I've probably killed my closeness with just about everyone.

Again, I liked this. This rankdown was hard. :(

[singingrulebritannia]

Heads up, #31 is a major milestone for this rankdown! It's the last song without a top 10. Don't worry, though, half of you still put this in your top 25, and 5 in the top 20. Again, all of its bottom half ranks are bottom 20. Just 3 are bottom 10 (spoiler: one of them is mine), but one is a rather low bottom 5. This teetered between the 30s and 20s, always one step away from top half. And in the back end of submissions, it did get there twice.

[singingrulebritannia]

I choreograph seven steps to Heaven
In Hell, waiting to exhale and make the bread leaven
Veteran of a cold war; it's Chica-I-go for
What I know or what's known
So some days I take the bus home, just to touch home
From the crib I spend months gone, sat by the window
