Nic f. Miss T, Stat Quo, Pitbull, Timmy, and the BK Steppers Marching Band- "Supa Crunk (SFJ + DJ Green Lantern party 2 go mix)"

May the gods shower peace on the soul of Shirley Chisholm.
Speaking of establishments that are ruled by a small group of men, here is my pazz and jop ballot. I am super bummed I did not get to vote for TI f. Bun B, Chingy, UTP Crew, Spoonie Gee and J. Hova's "Fucking Crunk Hat" or Muy Romantico's cover of Mary J. Blige's "Never Been", or Janie Jimboree's "Twee Finger," but 10 singles and 10 albums are not enough to contain the awesome breadth of my love. Still, but for a precious taste and a lasting internet-moment "in the club" with the 14,000 or so other critics across the country polled for Pazz & Jop, I consulted the post-it collection list of my favorite albums that I have been saving in the bottom of my purse (found beneath a wad of unsheathed/melted Spearmint Orbitz [true story]) and shrunk my list to fit the allotted space. R&B list-haters... Qué?
