TS: "Two Princes" vs. "Rude"

This guy's a monster

the singer — who records under the name Nasri because "I just think it sounds cooler"

this bodes well for deXter aRRogAnt, my punk alter-ego

the origin story for this song is basically just a guy saying 'hey that's not cool'

The funny thing is, Chris Brown is just a music lover.

he loves music just so much it makes him hulk out at the worst times

I can't believe it took me this long to register the irony of cod-reggae chiding someone for being 'rude'

lol. I didn't notice that. Has to be unintentional though, right?

Xp yeah I'm sure it's just coincidence, but it made me laff

Also, re: the charge of Breezy collaboration: it's obviously a little different if you're a young hired-gun trying to make a name in the industry (&/or make rent) than if you're Busta Rhymes... I don't think I would write them off entirely on those grounds, if I didn't already previously detest their music.

"you guys like reggae music?"

So why are all these Great White North folks jammin’?

substantial Jamaica-->Toronto diaspora in the 60s and 70s, IIRC

Cheryl Cole'S new single blocked "Rude" from debuting at number one in the UK. Britain is the best.

Somehow I had managed to completely escape "Rude" until this weekend, where it rudely violated my ears three separate times. Holy shit this song. This is like the "Hotel California" of shitty American cod-reggae.

the lead singer wrote one of the best justin bieber songs:

feel like this is like if New Radicals decided to go ska for their first record lol

except Nasri's actually a more successful songwriter maybe than gregg alexander?

new radicals were great stfu

obv

Will you still love it when "Rude" will be the new number one next Sunday? It's outselling everything else at the moment, and no end in sight.

Tough luck, UK. :(

has anyone mashed up the chorus of "Rude" w/ footage of Ferguson police department yet

why the hell would someone do that

"the zeitgeist"

anyway, sorry for the dumb joke... when I woke up this afternoon my brain had already made the weird connection between Magic! & the police (via The Police), & I got a few guilty lols from the mental image
