[Chipmunk]

He's still living in America. I wanted to hear music from Muslim countries.

You do know the theme was Muslim artists?

And I didn’t nom Mos Def

 

[Ulahoopski]

A jew gets 14 votes in a Muslim round?
SC is a joke these days.

In 9th Place is Right Now (Na Na Na) by Akon with 15 votes & 5 Billies (BBBB3B1335), nominated by Riviat

In 7th Place is Mustt Mustt by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with 17 votes & 0 Billies (251243), nominated by myblueroan

In 6th Place is God, Allow Me (Please) to Play Music by Voice of Baceprot with 21 votes & 1 Billies (42125B43), nominated by Ocha905

Not quite making the 8 is Fossie with another nom I thought was a pre-round favourite.
Akon started out on fire but mostly collected Billy's from there.
Really enjoyed Altin Gun and Nusrat but couldn't fit them into the votes (story of the playlist really).

In 5th Place is Saturn by SZA with 21 votes & 0 Billies (4415142), nominated by Chipmunk

In 4th Place is Bolo Na by Arooj Aftab with 23 votes & 1 Billies (131223241B4), nominated by Stokey

I was surprised SZA was eligible for this round. A great pick from a great album.
Stokey cruelly misses out on the podium due to a rogue Billy.

 

[Ocha905]

Which leaves a podium of Mos Def x2 and Kanykei nommed by Fridge, rask and Doris.

 

[raskolnikov]

You do know the theme was Muslim artists?

That's fine. But it was my preference to hear music from Muslim countries and I voted accordingly.

In 3rd Place is Hip Hop by Mos Def with 23 votes & 0 Billies (4255412), nominated by omgfridge

Great to see Mos Def getting some representation, I think he's generally underrated by rap listeners.

 

[Chipmunk]

That's fine. But it was my preference to hear music from Muslim countries and I voted accordingly.

Oh good - your initial comment implied that Americans were less eligible for being Muslim compared to people from Muslim countries, but fair enough if that’s your point.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

That's fine. But it was my preference to hear music from Muslim countries and I voted accordingly.

I did too, and I voted accordingly too. And got to hear plenty of wonderful music.

But that Mos Def jam was too perfect not to nom, I ain't apologising.
