Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2013 1:00 am
Tuesdays, 1988 through 1999.
Pick your favorite and / or the best match up(s), doesn't matter.
Dropped Same Day(s):
Well that's a wrap. Thirty nine weeks, that's nine months, three quarters of a year. Seems like a good place to stop. I'm clearly running out of ideas and this series has already started to overstay its welcome anyway.
For the record, the ones still in a dead tie at the moment are:
Between a Rock and a Hard Place and Resurrection.
(Also Runaway Slave and Whut? Thee Album, though Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop is beating both. Same with All Balls Don't Bounce and Jealous One's Envy in second place to All We Got Iz Us.)
Winning by one vote right now:
Return of the Boom Bap over '93 'til Infinity.
It Was Written over Stakes is High.
The Iceberg / Freedom of Speech... Just Watch What You Say! over The Biz Never Sleeps.
And for contrast, the biggest win was:
Jeru the Damaja's The Sun Rises in the East with eighty five percent of the vote.
Most LPs in one day:
Seven.
The artists who appeared twice include:
The Beastie Boys, Brand Nubian, The Coup, Das EFX, Diamond D, The Fugees, Heavy D & the Boyz, Ice-T, Jay-Z, KRS-One, LL Cool J, Organized Konfusion, Redman, Slick Rick, Souls of Mischief, Spice 1 & A Tribe Called Quest.
Of those, the multiple time winners were:
Diamond D and KRS-One.
By the way, I'm not closing the polls so some of those results may be subject to change.
The reason for this last best of the Dropped Same Day series is merely for my own interest. Vote for as many or as few as you'd like. Feel free to discuss the matches you did or didn't like, as well as any in which you were surprised by the results (or simply the fact that these albums shared a release date at all). Some of the most liked ones could potentially be cherry picked to be featured on the T.R.O.Y. Blog and we can see how they fare with that crowd perhaps? Just throwin' out thoughts.
In case anyone cares, here are the leftovers that I kept track of (most thought of by me, plus a few suggestions by others):
Haven't double checked all those for accuracy but I will however still take requests so if anybody wants to see any of those actualized or has any other ideas for ones they'd like to suggest, feel free to message me or post a potential match up in any of the threads.
And if not, it's been fun. Thanks to everybody who posted and / or voted. Peace.
