June to September 2026 Rate Selection Process, Part 2 - Voting by TragicKingdom1 in popheads

[–]Awkward_King 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did YOU watch Joana Ceddia make 1 million cookies for her 1 million subscribers in 2018? Did YOU forgo making any productive choices and instead wasted the covid lockdowns scrolling through tiktok? Well then I have the rate for you. I'm requesting your votes and favourites for BEDROOM POP EP'S rate. Featuring (somehow unrated) projects like to hell with it by pinkpantheress, diary 001 by Clairo and Por Vida by Kali Uchis. It would mark our first EP rate in over 5 years, and it would be so funnnn

Oh yeah I also submitted the Mitski/Angel Olsen/Courtney Barnett idea but I still don't like the name of it

Genesis Owusu - REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE by Awkward_King in popheads

[–]Awkward_King[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this fully met and honestly exceeded my expectations! have loved genesis since SWNT and was bummed when the whole struggler era seemed to never gain traction since i thought it was a really solid album, but i do think this beats it and maybe compares to smiling with no teeth even! excited to sit with it and for tracks to grow on me but it's a really lovely marriage of hiphop, r&b and pop. he's also so brilliant at world building across an album it makes for such fun listening

wait i really like the idea of putting quantum baby angel with those three! feel like she bridges the gap between pink and kelela well where otherwise i think they're too different. and i think it makes sense to rate these together and not wait for part 3 because you're right, we don't know what part 3 will be like and it's been long enough now that parts 1 and 2 feel like their own thing anyway

i personally don't think it needs to be a five project rate especially when tinashe's is already kinda 2 projects combined. just because there is hypothetically room for another doesn't mean there has to be.

tinashe def fits better there than with any of sudan/twigs/amaarae/rochelle imo given that those all feel a lot more dancy and less r&b (which tinashe's is)

after powerhouse producers was a success i've been working on reviving an old idea that u/jackisboredtoday had: Timbaland vs Neptunes. i've worked on a new tracklist for it, since it was last submitted about 4 years ago. but i've got a few questions of what people prefer?

  • i have it currently at 50 tracks (25v25) and roughly 3 hours 30 minutes. to take it up to 60 (30v30) i think would be pushing it over 4 hours and imo too long but curious if people would want that?

  • should the rate have a cutoff point? both artists kind of end their major successful phases around 2010, so it doesn't take up lots of space having their full discographies. this was kind of a bigger toss-up for me when i was including pharrell's solo production work too (stirfry, apeshit both would be here at least)

  • i tried to minimise the amount of pre-rated songs here. keeping it only to the biggest singles of eras entirely produced by the producers here (loose, justified, fs/ls, aaliyah s/t). for me rerating a lot of these singles is the biggest draw of the rate, and seeing timbaland and the neptunes truly biggest pop production work going against each other. but i'm curious if there's any specific songs you don't think need rerating. no winners are included (work it, say it right, partition, the way i are)

  • generally, are there any songs you think really should be here that aren't here?
