F/ MY MANS TREY SONGZ

http://i39.tinypic.com/2h3bgol.jpg

lolololol

You need to change the list of artists:

Includes Ace Hood, Maino, Drake, Saigon, 2 Pistols and many more.

2008: "We Global" (DJ Khaled feat. Fat Joe, Ray J, and Trey Songz)

this is the worst idea of all time right?

man... Ray J and MMTS, that's on some matter and anti-matter shit

2009: "I Ain't Playing" (Bow Wow feat. Trey Songz)

lmao <3 of lil bow wow doing a song about how hard he is with a mmts hook

GIRL YOU KNOW is dope.

tape store, you might as well take a moment to reflect on the f/mmts ouvre and how it reflects our lives in all their complexities

cheaper than lloyd??? ouch. I think lloyd just doesn't get those jobs cause he's too faggy

uh 8ball & mjg beg to differ

i can't even figure what song to vote for as best, even "Girl You Know" is better in the album version w/o him on it

but to take it back to old school ilx defending the indefensible, i like the kinda rambling endless verses MMTS drops on these 2 remixes:

uh 8ball & mjg beg to differ

ok, so lloyd butches it up for one song. whatever, not disproving my point. what's telling is that his hook on "forever" is better than any mmts has ever done on a rap song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Finally, we'll have a more expanded story on Trey Songz on Tuesday, but for today, we had to bring the origins on his now-signature "Yuuuggghhh!" ad lib. You've heard it on his songs and you've heard it on records he's not even on, like Drake's "Best I Ever Had." Where did it come from?

"It just came about," he said recently in his new hometown of Atlanta. "I'm a fool, really, in the studio. I said it on one record. I don't remember what record it was on first. Then I started going places and people would do it. That's when I knew it was something that was catching on. Now I gotta do it on every song."

^^ wtf are they even talking about

why you wanna suggest ban lil ol me?

lol :)

my shitttttttttttt

plus, like i said in r&b, his new mixtape is crazy

true dat, double true

i don't know how, but somehow i wasn't even aware trey EXISTED until this year

you weren't really missing anything until now, he's been kind of lame minus a couple of songs

I would never really suggest ban you, Ray Ray and "LOL :)"

ok i figured out what this is referring to but i always just thought he was saying "yup" in a really obnoxious way.

he is saying yuup

he should have told MTV that when they interviewed him and spelled "yup" with three G's and three H's.

trey songz really has a signature ad-lib?

it's not even really an ad lib, it's more of a throat-clearing sound effect like when jadakiss cackles

"lol :)" is super catchy, i don't really feel like i can resist it getting stuck in my head no matter what i actually think of the song

i mean for as "dumb" as it is, it's a good hook and a pretty smart song to make

i feel like when you call a song "smart" what you really mean is pandering

sure, yeah, but i also mean that it's a song "about" twitter that's not all FOLLOW ME TWITTER TWEET TWEET or w/e that would make people just go "ugh" - instead it uses "twitpic" in a rhyme for a catchy chorus so in essence it's a good little song that feels a bit more "of the moment" and thusly will probably be more successful in the short term than it might have been otherwise

also it's a good song i think because of that little part after he repeats "lol smiley face" - great melody there

if you're saying it's not quite as desperate as the Mistah F.A.B. song then yeah

and yeah that melody at the end of the chorus is definitely what makes the song

actually kinda lovin' this dude and "LOL :)"

my bad, this song is dope

my favorite bit is in the beginning, where they splice in 'soulja boy tell'em' and 'gucci!' over the chorus

maybe I'll make this my ringtone

i know complaining about soulja boy's rapping makes me a nas stan and all but man he really kinda ruins the song. simple dumb raps can be fun but just repeating the title 8 times, rhyming "blackberry" with "halle berry" and then splitting is just annoying.

the worst part about that verse is claiming that Halle Berry is thick

ray j is pretty much the og mmts, huh?

man i love this thread

i don't think ray j was on songs with as many gangsta rappers as mmts

(12:47:41 AM) sargnt: it registered on my treydar

i'm still so proud of this

it might be kinda a regional thing, but it feels we get way more f/ ray j joints than f/ mmts on the radio here

i'm pretty astounded that "na na" actually took off in the way it did

all of a sudden dude has his highest charting hot 100 song since 2010

you say that as if it's actually as big as "Bottoms Up," though. he's never going to have a top 10 hit again.

If Robin Thicke and Jason Derulo can do it, I wouldn't count Trey Songz out.

It doesn't even feel as big as "Heart Attack" or "Two Reasons"

yeah

we need the billboard chart stats for his varous singles listed out here

I know I'm preaching to an empty room here, but I'm liking most everything I'm hearing from the upcoming album. July 1 release date; a few new songs out today:

http://karencivil.com/new-music-trey-songz-foreign-and-change-your-mind/

This one's still my fav:

https://soundcloud.com/spinzhoodrich/trey-songz-ft-jeezy-ordinary

I bet the album will be good.

he could have a pretty strong Greatest Hits collection at this point but i can't imagine getting hyped for a Trey album. the last one was trash outside the singles.

yeah i didn't like the last one at all

his sound isn't interesting to me at all, i find his albums to be weirdly greyscale. got good singles sometimes of course.

Passion, Pain & Pleasure is a back to back classic in my book; that one never lets up. I have no idea how he went so wrong with Chapter V, though. Terrible album.

trey songz doesn't strike me as one of the r&b dudes most concerned with creative control, his label probably just thought he'd reached the limit of his market potential and didn't give him the best songs

looking back at PPP... i wonder if trey is the only artist to have a drake feature on a song not produced by 40 and a 40 song that doesn't have a drake feature on the same album

i get the opposite impression, i think he has a hand in the writing of most if not all of his songs and has a very strong sense of his sound and his 'brand,' whether i always like the results of not. xp

Yeah, I think Al's right. If you look at PP&P, he was the primary writing credit on nearly every song, which is probably why that was such a coherent, vaguely classicist R&B album. On Chapter V, he has almost exclusively secondary writing credits. That's probably why that album is such a scattered mess; there was almost certainly some label meddling going on there

Like a lot of R&B singers, it doesn't take much for Songz to come across as a sleazeball, a cornball or an asshole. Chapter V really didn't have a good sense of where those boundaries were.

that album had TWO songs built around football metaphors. the Ty Dolla $ign-written "Fumble" was just the worst.

"heart attack" is his best single though (either that or "can't help but wait" imo)

"Heart Attack" is all time. Plus it's my fiance's favorite Trey Songz single; she's been talking about doing it at karaoke for ages.

Wouldn't be doing my duty if i didn't note that the new album is really, really good. A lot zippier and more club-minded than the last couple of albums, and save for a track or two it doesn't leave the sour aftertaste that other male-fronted Mustard&B does. And the Nicki track is going to be a great single

saw this mention of Trey in a Washington Post article on a great funky North Carolina family group called Brass Connection who have moved to DC and have been playing street corners:

Their first hot spot was Dupont Circle. It was there, they say, that R&B singer Trey Songz hopped out of a limo to listen. The crowd went wild. He put $500 in their bucket.

i love "slow motion" and cannot believe charlie puth was responsible for the song's existence

yeah "slow motion" is incredible

Write in vote: "Beat It Up" - Gucci Mane feat. Trey Songz (2010)

love "slow motion"

not f/ my mans but i really like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v5HZTwFBCs

dang didn't even know he had a new album. I'm five tracks in & it feels pretty lifeless :/

do you like that song, Evan?

Yeah it's sweet and breezy, though as a lead single it's kinda underwhelming. I know this board/people in general rip on A&R interference, but I'm kinda shocked his label let him release this album. So much B material, and it kills whatever commercial momentum the guy had

I guess I'd rather hear the guy make a very low key R&B album than go full Derulo but still
