Very close, any last minute votes could really make a difference!

Yesterday was just typical of West Ham since the stadium move... a home thrashing, live on TV. The first goal, when it was three Liverpool attackers against Cresswell, was the kind of goal you'd expect to concede in the 90th minute chasing an equaliser. It keeps happening, too open defensively and the players seem unfit. I really like Bilic, especially for that final season at Upton Park which seems a lifetime ago now. But we are going down as it stands, the next QPR or Villa or Sunderland. Moyes would be a terrible appointment, but who are we going to attract? The club is a mess of overpaid and underperforming players, interfering owners and a soul crushing stadium. Relegation would be a disaster.

Moyes and Neville... might jack my season ticket in. Relegation beckons.

Could Bristol City actually be promoted this season?! Personally I think it'd be fantastic to see all the big clubs and teams given a warm Bristolian welcome. :lol:

100% with this, 'No Words' sounds huge!

3jtl1fTccqs This has charted at #25 in the UK Top 50 on Spotify after one day and no New Music Friday support - some accomplishment! Dave has been growing in popularity for a while, both 'Wanna Know' and 'Samantha' received mainstream support and this new effort is in the same vein. A piano-backed beat and a melodic chorus from Dave are the highlights and Dave and the featured MoStack trade bars in the verses. Hope to see some success for this, could be Dave's first Top 40 hit?

EZW7et3tPuQ 5. Backseat Freestyle (8 Votes) 6. Alright 7. Poetic Justice 8. DNA 9. i 10. LOYALTY. 11. LOVE. 12. The Blacker The Berry Backseat Freestyle has lasted longer than I expected, but falls close to the end. I associate this song particularly with the start of 2013 - I was in my last year of sixth form and one of my mates would play this on this phone and rap the lyrics at me. :lol: I wasn't big on this song then, but I do appreciate it now - I wouldn't necessarily put it on by choice but wouldn't stick it on shuffle. Vote closes Sunday at midnight, let's get over 20 votes as we close in on the final!

On first full listen, this is very strong and has a real chance of doing well! Maybe the same level of success as Mabel and Stefflon Don recently (although I imagine if it peaks that high it'll peak in January).

This samples the classic 'Always on Time'... I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Keep voting everybody, still close as it stands!

This is exactly what will happen, she hasn't really earnt insta-Capital support yet.

Its been added to the Capital playlist already according to the website, that sounds like a good indication it could be hit. Great to see Mr Eazi getting more exposure (he's on the new Yungen single too), probably going for that Afro-swing sound.

No accounting for taste with some people, most of the bangers are on Disc 2!

This happens surprisingly regularly doesn't it? A few that spring to mind are 'Turn Back Time', 'I Loved You', 'Alive', 'The Girl Is Mine', 'Heartbroken'...

I don't think they actually play them all. :lol: It's one of the biggest albums of the year for UK rap though from one of its defining artists so it's fair enough.

The MOBOs are now this month, and the award for Best International Act is probably one of the hardest to call! DJ Khaled undoubtedly had two of the biggest of the biggest tracks of the summer and his (or his son's presence) this year has been huge. However, artists such as Drake, Jay Z & Kendrick Lamar released high quality albums which cannot be ignored. If there were any acts in Hip Hop that are likely to become 'very 2017' I would nominate Migos and Travis Scott. 'Bad & Boujee' was a huge #1 in America at the start of the year and their presence on social media has become ubiquitous - this is without mentioning Quavo's position as the 2017 rent-a-rapper. Travis Scott also has become a popular feature this year and is headlining 1Xtra Live in November. African artist WizKid is also a deserving nominee, although I consider it very unlikely he will win. Cardi B is also a surprise nominee, seemingly of the back of one song and her popularity on social media. However that song, 'Bodak Yellow', was the first female hip hop #1 in America since Lauryn Hill (penny for the thoughts of Nicki Minaj) and has become part of the zeitgeist of 2017. The question is if she can build on this or become a 1 hit wonder? Elsewhere, Solange and SZA released critically acclaimed albums and deserve their nominations. I'm not too familiar with either album but 'Cranes In the Sky' and 'Love Galore' are very good! But who should win? My Top 3 would probably be: 1. Migos 2. Kendrick Lamar 3. Cardi B

Z-48u_uWMHY 6. Alright (7 Votes) 7. Poetic Justice 8. DNA 9. i 10. LOYALTY. 11. LOVE. 12. The Blacker The Berry It was close, but Alright is next to fall... and personally I think it was about the right time to go. Blew up in 2015, thanks to it's association with the 'Black Lives Matter' movement with crowds chanting the chorus and it became the unofficial soundtrack to the movement in America. It's easy to see why too with an amazing video and infectious chorus. Next round closes at midnight on Thursday, competition is heating up now so get voting!

Your ignorance only embarrasses yourself.

159. Not3s - My Lover This will be the next UK rap crossover I think, sounds very similar to 'Did You See' and the chorus will sit well on commercial radio.

I too hope it sticks around for a while, but I think 'Big For Your Boots' is the big smash from the album, no matter how well this does!

Please please please let Everton be in a relegation battle this season. Always funny when a big club is down the bottom, some of my earliest memories are of when West Ham and Leeds were relegated in the 2000s and how funny it was for everybody.
