Here's An Idea For A Tournament

[5 Grand]

Best Single.

If you were old enough to remember 12"s and cassingles, sometimes they had a dope song on the a-side and an equally dope song on the b-side.

We can use discogs to settle any disputes. Any single thats ever been officially released should be on discogs.

Some singles that I can think of;

C.R.E.A.M/Da Mysteries Of Chessboxin

I Get Around/Keep Your Head Up

Big Poppa/Who Shot Ya

Goin Back To Cali/Jack The Ripper

Friends/5 Minutes Of Funk

Eric B Is President/My Melody

My Adidas/Peter Piper

I Got Cha Open/Killin Every Nigga In Sight

Ain't No Nigga/Dead Presidents

Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Encore

In Da Club/Backdown

Nas Is Like/Dr Knockboots

Street Dreams/Affirmative Action

Been Around The World/The Benjamins

Wake Up/Drop The Bomb

Add on

This is actually a dope idea, best side a/side b singles.

I'll do some research and drop some more.

 

[AP2.5]

Make the tournament then Grand

One More Chance/The What


Also, we need to make distinctions between 12"/cassingles vs EPs.

I know 2Pac has an EP with California Love/Hit Em Up/How Do You Want It/Amerikkkas Most Wanted and the California Love (Remix). But thats not really a single so it shouldn't count.

However, Biggie had a single/EP with Goin Back To Cali/Kick In The Door and Sky's The Limit. For whatever reason that record was classified as a single, not an EP.

So somebody is going to decide what constitutes a single vs an EP. Obviously a record with 3 dope songs is better than a record with 2 dope songs.

I say it should be 2 different songs max, remixes notwithstanding.

Make the tournament then Grand

I'm not moderating no tournament but for now everybody could start naming dope singles with the a-side/b-side.

So I guess we need a preliminary round to get started.

If there's any disputes we can use discogs to settle them.
