it's almost entirely sung and not having known who dreezy is beforehand i failed to realize she's mainly a rapper, soz
let's not pretend mainstream r&b and rap lately feature radically different production styles anyway

It's an r&b song to me. The Anderson Paak is actually a rap album, but no one is talking about it as such.

late as usual but really really loving the jacquees tape mentioned up thread. i'm a corny fuck so the cameo sample warmed me.

Thoughts on the anderson .paak album, please?I think I like it a lot but I can't seem to get past his kendrick voice. It's like there's a huge kendrick between me and him.

this could be way better without timbaland's voice and if he had gave more space for mila j to shine.

Several xposts...
I love that Alexandria EP. Was coming here to post it, actually! Imo it builds strength as it progresses, with Pour as the pinnacle. Glitchy R&B is the best. She's on the same label as Abra too and there's a slight correlation there in vocal dreaminess to my mind.

Reading in the Washington Post about women throwing their bras onstage at Bryson Tiller, at his recent show near DC. I don't get it

ill admit it, I like Bryson tiller.. would've liked to go to the dc show to meet or @ least ogle bra-less women
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 12:54 (eight years ago) link
i don't quite get why he's become this beacon of hate on twitter
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 24 February 2016 14:49 (eight years ago) link
his singles are fine!
he's only a beacon of hate in the sense that a few people have noticed how absurdly overrated he is by a lot of young R&B fans
― some dude, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 16:55 (eight years ago) link
also his tweets are corny and he's a hypebeast, there's an element of territorialism to the backlash
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 24 February 2016 18:47 (eight years ago) link
he sounds so much like drake! how can you not find that annoying
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 22:33 (eight years ago) link
am i wrong though about the territorialism
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 24 February 2016 22:59 (eight years ago) link
i can fetishize and cop my style from drake but i draw the line at an R&B singer doing that!
i mean, his singles are competent. and it's not a critical backlash as much as it is a self-styled tastemaker backlash, because bryson tiller threatens their very being.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 24 February 2016 23:01 (eight years ago) link
tiller was 16 when so far gone came out, a lot of music is gonna continue to sound like drake lol
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 24 February 2016 23:05 (eight years ago) link
that said his singles have been getting exponentially worse
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 24 February 2016 23:07 (eight years ago) link
The Tweet and SWV albums are out and almost certainly worth a try.

The Keke Palmer sounds like a hit in the way Carly Rae Jepsen songs do, and coming from an R&B context it might actually be one. I'm all for it.
― breastcrawl, Friday, 4 March 2016 22:56 (eight years ago) link
As for Tweet, it's amazing to me that she had that sound on Southern Hummingbird, and it sounded fresh back then and at any given point during the 14 (!) years that have passed since then, and it still sounds fantastic now.
