I was just thinking I'd changed my mind about the Keri track! It sounds kind of out of place and while its one of my favorite Timbaland phenotypes* (a bunch of melodic elements overlapping w/ a uniquely wistful Timbaland mood) it doesnt quite fit in with all the tracks around it. Its good don't get me wrong - just feels out of place. I think my favorite track now is the Keyshia Cole one, which they've played on the radio around here.

I also agree w/ Andy that I want to know what Tim thinks!

It's out of place after the lame Prince stunt and even lamer interlude, but I do think it's placed perfectly before the Mario sobfest.

The Keyshia track's my favorite too.

Mid '80s R&B nerds: Juicy's Katreese Barnes does some of the arrangements.

I think I like the lame prince stunt : /

Keyshia divides people, I notice.

She went straight through my torso.

Keyshia Cole is fucking horrible no matter what the context.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Friday, 20 October 2006 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I second that.

Have you heard this song, Dan?

Herr Drake: the crypto-intellectual anti-intellectual contrarianism of ILM reaches its apotheosis with the mere suggestion that "adult contemporary in a good way" is not an oxymoron!

haha i was about to post a picture of pheonix.

"We Gonna Make it" is like the exact same sample as Jay's new one.

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 20 October 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Have you heard this song, Dan?

No, largely because I don't really like Diddy as a performer and I really, really hate Keyshia Cole; there is nothing there that would make me try to listen to this song (at least the Brandy song has Brandy on it).

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Friday, 20 October 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

now, back to "Candy Shop"

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 20 October 2006 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

keyshia cole is fine as hell

― and what (ooo), Friday, 20 October 2006 19:01 (seventeen years ago) link

My coworker told me she thinks Keyshia's gay.

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 20 October 2006 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Might be wishful thinking.

"Last Night" = surprised how great it is

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 23 October 2006 22:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, I'm completely addicted to "Last Night", something about the beat really makes it stand out

no get offf sadly but the production on this is so amazing. i really like this album.

― tigertiger (tigertiger), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 10:41 (seventeen years ago) link

i cant praise the music on this enough, actually. really quite tremendous.

― tigertiger (tigertiger), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 10:43 (seventeen years ago) link

obviousness of tip ghostwriting wanna move is killing me - even bow wow disguised that shit better!!

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Clifford Harris is credited, though.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 18:59 (seventeen years ago) link

well yeah but the point of hiring a ghostwriter isns to sound like supernatural impersonating das efx on funk flex its to step your lyrics up but still keep your own style & persona - see hardcore, chronic 2001, or that shaq album

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

isnt

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I think that gets at the problem w/ the pharoahe song too.

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Not disagreeing one bit with the obviousness. It damn near made me fall out my chair.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 21:37 (seventeen years ago) link

what if yr persona is "i got this vision for an album that no one else will make so i'll buy everything cos i don't care and oh look neither it seems do you"

seriously, this album is nothing if not honest.

― rtccc (mwah), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean if it was all about him stunting for the sake of it (like ooh, i dunno jay-z) then he could easily have got ti to write him some bars and do karaoke over 'shoulder lean' or whatever. isn't the absurdity of diddy's ghostwriting not that it's so blatant but that he picked pharoahe monche of all people to rep himself on an album thru?

― rtccc (mwah), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 22:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Someone just told me this only sold 170k?

― deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 26 October 2006 00:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I have no idea where to check numbers.

― deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 26 October 2006 00:17 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, 170k. which is about what i would've expected. the Billboard and MTV News sites always run stories w/ the first week numbers for big debuts, that's where I usually check that stuff but I dunno where to get a more comprehensive chart breakdown.

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Thursday, 26 October 2006 00:23 (seventeen years ago) link

It went to number 1.

I guess that makes sense as far as sales go.

― deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 26 October 2006 00:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean i certainly wasnt expecting him to do 500,000 again.

― deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 26 October 2006 00:24 (seventeen years ago) link

two years pass...

last train to paris anticipation starts... here

― r|t|c, Friday, 20 February 2009 18:46 (fifteen years ago) link

'lovers land' clip from making the band 4 - clown all u like but this sounds dope imo, that pressplay drama

― r|t|c, Friday, 20 February 2009 18:48 (fifteen years ago) link

yknow signing janelle monae to bb really seems like the biggest no-brainer ever, listening to that.

― r|t|c, Friday, 20 February 2009 18:51 (fifteen years ago) link

five months pass...

http://rcrdlbl.com/2009/08/14/exclusive_new_download_felix_da_housecat_x_diddy_lectro_black_last_train_to_paris_mixtape

dope imo... just leads me to wonder how much input Felix will have on the album itself (if any, wasn't he supposed to work on the last one?) and if will be all ravey or not

― poppagewheelie (The Reverend), Monday, 17 August 2009 09:16 (fourteen years ago) link

ha, how much does it say about Felix that even tho this is 90% him, all my thoughts about this are what impact it might have on Diddy's album?

― poppagewheelie (The Reverend), Monday, 17 August 2009 09:18 (fourteen years ago) link

o shit that is banging & incredible

― lex pretend, Monday, 17 August 2009 15:39 (fourteen years ago) link

diddy's been doing stuff w/ felix for awhile. i have this 12" (which i dont really play, but is interesting):

― butthurt (deej), Monday, 17 August 2009 17:59 (fourteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

'press play' is so good -- totally surprised i was so down on the havoc track upthread

― butthurt (deej), Wednesday, 9 September 2009 02:42 (fourteen years ago) link

I don't remember liking that track much at all, but yeah, <3 Press Play.

― flowers for algernod (The Reverend), Wednesday, 9 September 2009 05:48 (fourteen years ago) link

that felix mix is kool but i'd be surprised if last train didn't suck tbh. them two feeler singles are balls.

― r|t|c, Wednesday, 9 September 2009 11:52 (fourteen years ago) link

haha 'the future' is still so, so ridiculous.

btw i wiki'd to remind myself which the havoc tracks were and turns out the girl playing the estranged gf on 14 'crazy thang interlude' is out of electrik red -- diddy tastemaking from beyond the grave!

― r|t|c, Wednesday, 9 September 2009 12:03 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah one of my fave hip-hop albums from the 2000s

― spiny doughboy (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 9 September 2009 12:17 (fourteen years ago) link

so a track leaked off the new one guys
