Re: Frank Kogan's Pazz & Jop ballot, 1987

No freestyle track ever made it to P&J, as far as I can recall, unless you want to count Madonna as freestyle lite. (And Madonna had shamefully weak showings in P&J until "Like A Prayer.") Just as crunk and bounce and hyphy do relatively poorly in P&J now (though they do show up).
