(My previous post was prompted by his BET performance, which was pretty much the definition of "weaksauce".)

also his voice is kinda weak live. saw him at the jazz cafe a while back. the girls ate it up cos of that song everyone loves (i like it too) but other than that, the albums kinda soporific.

Have you guys not seen the performance of "Shooter" on the Tonight Show? He kicked asssss! Lil Wayne, too! They were unstoppable.

I found it
― Tape Store, Thursday, 28 June 2007 17:04 (sixteen years ago) link
that song stands out in a bad way on the album
― deej, Thursday, 28 June 2007 17:09 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah I've softened on my "Shooter" hate slightly but it's still horrible in the context of Tha Carter II (unless you mean on the Thicke album).

Hearing "Oh Shooter" (not "Shooter") makes me really want to check out his first album. I really don't get why people love the Wayned "Shooter" so much. They took what was already a great track and in the most artless way imaginable added Lil Wayne dropping Diddygrunts and a verse about how homosexuals are keeping him off radio. Once I heard the original I felt no desire to go back.

hah i meant horrible in the context of the thicke album, i thought it worked well in the carter ii where he was doing beats that were kind of all over the place from 'receipt' to 'fireman' or whatever (although i don't really need to hear it again or anything)
― deej, Thursday, 28 June 2007 17:16 (sixteen years ago) link
i hadn't heard the original when i heard the wayne version and i also love that donna summer/digital underground/soulja slim bassline
― deej, Thursday, 28 June 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
i dont like hearing lil wayne in an otherwise graceful/classy candlelight romance context
― deej, Thursday, 28 June 2007 17:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Wayne sounds fine on "All Night Long."
― da croupier, Thursday, 28 June 2007 17:19 (sixteen years ago) link
If Wayne's verse didn't already confuse what "Shooter" was about, the video adds fucking wacky neighbor hijinks. There's a reason this flopped.

i think i like the song pharrell wrote best. its the most fun and funky in any case.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Thursday, 28 June 2007 19:25 (sixteen years ago) link
what song did pharrell write?
'teach u a lesson' is weird. Lyrics are kind of :-/ :-/ :-/
i'm down with the production aesthetic tho, and the vocals are cool, he knows how to not push his voice to hard, let it just sort of sit there
but yeah lyrics on that one are pretty wack
i agree that wayne is much better on 'all night long,' its like a standard R&B guest verse! less corny wayne showboating

lol posting about love songs alone on a fri night :(
hah i just had a holy shit moment when i realized that i had totally seen the video for his first single back in the day and been sorta o_O about it, totally didn't realize it was the same dude! what a shitty haircut! http://youtube.com/watch?v=nNg0ReHeTiM

Robin Thicke has been around for quite a while (he was writing kinda big pop songs in the 90s)
― Tape Store, Saturday, 30 June 2007 05:47 (sixteen years ago) link
And "Shooter" haters are ridiculously wrong! It's insane and awesome...my fav. single of last year!

apparently it's the only thread about him here.new video is fun although very misogynist (but Emily Ratajkowksi is great) The song, not so much and Thicke's singing is just awful !

Id go full lesbian for emily ratajkowski. Perfect ratio in her body. Im usually against women used as sex dolls but in her case its completely justified.

Not sure why theyre trying to market robin thicke as a sex symbol, tho.

And don't overthink "Teach U A Lesson," you people above--he's just playing around, and it's a great song.
