Is anyone anticipating the new Diddy album?

dudes this shit is dope!!

would you be at all surprised to know that ships has already gotten around to hating on that?

beat on "Love Come Down" is crazy

them two feeler singles are balls.

i missed that. at any rate, i disagree

'love come down' reminds me of 'pot cover' by general degree

out of curiosity rtc what do u think of this new ll cool j / ncis synergy joint
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxFSd8wvATI

lol i kinda like that, it's produced by tricky stewart!

LL is generally reliable for one good-to-great song every two years still

that wasn't it

yeah i like that track ok too, good beat! what a reasonable luda album cut it would have made in 04. on the reals tho, what it flops with by having ll pondering all over it it gains in random tv/soundtrack tie-in curators egg charm, so let's call it a draw.

said this before but i dunno why i get such inordinate satisfaction from tricky's regular non-dream producing gigs!

guess i can hear what you mean with the loping 'dutch pot' comparison to begin with re the diddy, but then the sample comes in ugly and i dunno, it's just a grisly kinda mess from then on - i accept it dangles jangly shiny enticing things in front of a listener, and i would love it to be good, but nah it's not doing it 4 me.

bah was it too much to expect two evelyn champagne king jacks in one year!

had no idea royce ghostwrote 'tell me'

new one (they're performing it on idol lol) is oooooooooooooooooooooookay

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

apparently written by rico love, so you know

had forgotten about this project and the trax last year didn't really grab me but this is REALLY GREAT

i actually liked it a lot better after i saw the idol performance -- better quality prob & made more sense to me in that context

literally cold

breakdown on that is sick - shouldve been the whole thing. this seems like quite a good project for danja to go in on generally, he kinda typecasts himself when he does the one techno banger on ppl's albums all the time i feel.

'strobe lights' is probably still my fave song to come out of this so far:

this is otm

"Strobe Lights" is awesome but wtf at Wayne's offbeat verse. it sounds like it was just pasted in somewhere it doesn't belong esp with it going acapella and then suddenly cutting off at the end

yeah i do rather like the idea of a spoken word pella outro on it actually but as it is that's obviously something botched or unfinished or whatever.

re danja, i'd meant to say on the electrik red thread in response to ships that i'd tend to have more hope in random 3rd tier producer dudes with little to lose being flexible enough to rise to e.r's specific challenge than i would with danja or anyone else in that kinda established-but-not-meganame bracket; the temptation is understandably always going to be to do themselves a business favour by putting out signature heat rather than pondering over whatever song's in question or stretching out like danja did on the britney record. perhaps that might sound pessimistic, but then the days of him bubbling under with different shit like 'no matter what' for t.i seem to have passed so i dunno.

I still watch this at least once a week

this is incredible

sorry for typing 'this is incredible,' i wish i could get rid of that

i keep staring at it

i would not be shocked it comes out that diddy is a huge "lost in translation" fan

so warm, the cover

it's like even tho it's cold, it's warm

"hello good morning" is def a banger -- the bridge puts it over the top to a must hear radio joint imo -- altho i wish they'd replace t.i.'s corny ass verse for the ross one on the remix

man gtfo, ti kills that shit

i'm the captain of the cool kids!

i'm pretty fascinated by diddy's sudden obsession with ross

"i'm the captain of the cool kids" is right up there with "t.i., they call me candle guy" as t.i.'s corniest line ever

not the best signing to grand hustle i'll grant you

does anyone else keep hearing diddy say it as "still life but it's lookin like a mufti"

it just doesnt sound like movie ok

the ross verse is not that great, certainly inferior to the t.i. verse and frankly also inferior to the minaj verse.

i was disappointed to see this roundly dismissed @ the jukebox.

xp if you have a northern accent maybe? it def doesn't sound like mufti

i've really come around to "love come down" and "angels", as random leaks last year they didn't do a great deal for me but there's something about the action movie vibe of "hello good morning" that makes them slot into place

show 'em how to move show 'em how to move show 'em how to move show 'em how to move in a roomful of vultures

wait how does a northern accent come into it? i'm just hearing an extra syllable/pause thing in there. also not be unkind but arent you the one still thinking fantasia's seriously singing about the bosphorus.

tbh ti could be reading out his shopping list on this beat for all i care, he's lively and on beat whereas lumbering-ass ross drags the whole thing down.

this song is probably about a 7, what did it get on the jukebox?

i was entertained by the minaj verse.

i don't think i ever actually thought fantasia was singing bosphorus!

mufti in northern kinda = moofti, right? it's definitely a long o.

on the jukebox i liked it, someone else liked it, everyone else was like "beats are boring and diddy can't rap" sigh.

oh are you meant to say it muff-tee and not moof-tee? shit, no wonder i failed my sharia bar exam.

eh oop moofteh

do you know, it's one of those words that i'm not sure i've ever heard spoken out loud. i could well have been pronouncing it wrong all my life. i was 12 when i realised that "massacre" was not, in fact, pronounced as though it was a french word.

also, as this won't make the final copy, this is what diddy said about cassie when i asked (with literally 20 seconds of the interview left and the pr looming) -

We had to spend a lot of time on artist development with her. She was blessed with a big record out of nowhere, and was going on the stage with no one nurturing her. I've been spending a lot of time nurturing her.

cover art was plucked from an australian blogger: "This is the most random thing to ever happen to me, I mean I went on a fucken holiday, put a photo on my blog, and over a year later that photo ends up as an album cover for fucken Diddy."
