heard a really good algebra blessett song called 'danger zone' on the radio - throwback vibe but with that ever-elusive unbeholden, self-possessed jazmine sullivan swag. preview clips of the lp (on bbe) sound v strong

first listen to the algebra album (on worst promo stream in the world) is very pleasing indeed
this tink mixtape on the other hand is tedious in the extreme, she's like a parody of thin-voiced cassie fan club fetishists. occasionally decent when she raps though
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 January 2014 20:58 (ten years ago) link
that mixtape sounds barely anything like cassie

her voice
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 January 2014 21:01 (ten years ago) link
the beats are completely unremarkable and she doesn't alight on a hook once
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 January 2014 21:02 (ten years ago) link
oh as i type a beat that catches my ear hoves into view! it's the sub-2min outro
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 January 2014 21:03 (ten years ago) link
the sean paul interpolation in that tinashe song is so great
she's so right for dj mustard beats
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 January 2014 21:13 (ten years ago) link
tbh my exp with tink's R&B material isn't far from Lex's
shes a p great rapper tho, imho
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 16 January 2014 23:21 (ten years ago) link
she's not a star or anything but it's a solid tape with some sounds (the acoustic stuff primarily) that is hard to find right now
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Friday, 17 January 2014 03:48 (ten years ago) link
hang on how is any sound on that tape hard to find? are you serious?
― lex pretend, Friday, 17 January 2014 08:07 (ten years ago) link
I am finding it strange that Lex doesn't like Tink as a rapper, though
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Friday, 17 January 2014 15:28 (ten years ago) link
i do like her as a rapper but she only does it like twice on this tape? and not extensively on previous tapes i've heard
wow i appear to have four separate tink mixtapes in my itunes, all listened to once each, and i can't remember a thing about any of them

i don't like the winters diary / R&B ones personally
but there are def memorable moments of rapping on her other tapes
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Friday, 17 January 2014 16:00 (ten years ago) link
yeah i guess it's all scattered and i never went back to them, point me to the rap ones? not going to sit through the r&b nothingness again
i do like the new danity kane on one listen but godddd that dawn/druski split really did rob us of something that was gonna be really special
― lex pretend, Friday, 17 January 2014 16:03 (ten years ago) link
Danity Kane song is v nice
― Spottie, Friday, 17 January 2014 16:27 (ten years ago) link
Did they split for real? I must have missed that. Why?

his solo EP was pretty iffy, hopefully he finds a new client or muse to work with
― Algerian Horsebeater (some dude), Friday, 17 January 2014 17:36 (ten years ago) link
i was pretty surprised his solo thing didn't focus on production tricks at ALL
― lex pretend, Friday, 17 January 2014 17:49 (ten years ago) link
Ouch. Too bad.

oh i see this actually came out in 2013 oh well
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Friday, 24 January 2014 19:02 (ten years ago) link
yeah great single. Came out last fall but didn't get a video until this week, so it's current.
― Evan R, Friday, 24 January 2014 19:10 (ten years ago) link
It's the first Pharrell track I'd heard in a while where I didn't immediately go "Oh, Pharrell," even though it's pretty obviously him when you think about it
― Evan R, Friday, 24 January 2014 19:11 (ten years ago) link
i'm digging this rico love song
i bet it's better than anything on the next trey songz album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZiAw7n_TzU
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Friday, 24 January 2014 19:14 (ten years ago) link
it's certainly better than the new ty dolla EP (which is purposefully only okay anyway)
oh wow i didn't even guess
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Friday, 24 January 2014 20:05 (ten years ago) link
Love j hud in the video, ti's interjections throughout (aside from the actual rap) throw me out of things a bit.
― Tim F, Friday, 24 January 2014 20:38 (ten years ago) link
lovely hook on that j hud thing
― pearly-dewdrops' bops (monotony), Friday, 24 January 2014 21:29 (ten years ago) link
was talking about Rico Love's EP on last year's thread, it's really dope, glad the single eventually popped off big
the J-Hud feels very transparently Pharrell to me, think it's a pretty wack song. J-Hud in the video tho <3

I'm also very much into thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LQoM477wlI

this rico love ep is really gross. side-eyeing two of three songs so far is not a good strike rate
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 January 2014 15:16 (ten years ago) link
thankfully "they don't know" isn't one of the gross ones and it sounds decent
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 January 2014 15:19 (ten years ago) link
if you ignore like two lyrics (both of which are bleeped out on the radio) it can be fun to pretend that "they don't know" is about another guy
― dyl, Wednesday, 29 January 2014 16:49 (ten years ago) link
haha "They Don't Know" is definitely one of the gross songs!
― some dude, Wednesday, 29 January 2014 16:50 (ten years ago) link
most of them are gross but still listenable

The best feeling I can muster for a new Jodeci album produced by Timbo is cautious optimism: http://www.missinfo.tv/index.php/timbaland-is-helping-produce-a-new-jodeci-album/

the algebra blessett album is really good. she walks that line between poised and emotional with such ease. "danger zone", "recovery" and "forever" especially
― lex pretend, Monday, 3 February 2014 17:45 (ten years ago) link
good, looking forward to that
― k3vin k., Monday, 3 February 2014 17:52 (ten years ago) link
Yeah this Blessett album is hitting the spot; thanks for the rec
