NE-YO v THE DREAM

So that's new Christina Milian and Ciara albums in 2010? Sweet!

rally up the troops!

Ciara & Dream/Tricky have great chemistry so the album should be great, but honestly I'm a bit disappointed that she isn't working with Danja this time around, he did the best song of the "Fantasy Ride" era ("Echo") and their styles mesh really well.

btw does anyone know anything about Love King? Is that still coming or is Love v. Money gonna be Terius' final solo album? He mentioned he was gonna retire after Love King this year, but since then he's been named the VP of Def Jam so...?

He mentioned he was gonna retire after Love King this year

whaat, do you have a link to that?

Love King is done being recorded according to Tricky, but is being delayed until early 2010 to finish tweaking it etc. His retirement was never gonna be from producing, just from his own recorded output, so as VP of Def Jam he'll probably work on recruiting producing etc. for other people as he has been recently. This is all subject to change of course, but that was the latest news.

that's a shame. i mean i like electrik red a lot but the the-dream albums are by far my favourite. to me they're the most sonically original and where you get the clearest view of the universe they're trying to create. on how to be a lady it's like the're filling the mold of clubby girl-pop, but lvm or l/h it's a whole plane where southern rap meets r&b pop and there's those huge space synths and slow-motion reverbed drums.

i dunno if this has been talked about already but to say this song is sweet, lol, isnt he actually being a bit of a git, saying she looks like a 'milkshake'? its kinda what you expect to hear the guy in a porno saying after hes shot his load and the girl looks like she hates him and wonders why shes doing this.

That's just lex being weird. Obv the reference is more a la Kelis.

OfficialDream oh yeah im sure no one cares but i stopped the sweat it out single and canceled the video because i really got tired of the last...........

just came to post that

i guess that "fancy" video won't be happening then :(

nowadays I take Ne-yo all day every day

'nowadays'!! hell no

ha I didn't mean in terms of present day output but just I find myself putting on ne-yo much more often than td. part of it is cuz I'm going through some relationship angst, though you could probably parlay that into some kinda "ne-yo has more depth" argument but I'm not gonna try

"ne-yo has more depth"

won't argue with that

dream has more awesome

not heard a Ne-Yo song i like anywhere near as much as 'Fancy'...musically - maybe a depth issue there that The-Dream wins

i love ne-yo but what is the last classic song that dude wrote? has he been good for anything since like, chrisete michelle's album?

"stupid in love"!!!

idk hasn't he just been touring and generally taking a year off flooding the market? alexandra burke's "nothing but the girl" is pretty good.

'part of the list' does a lot for me in the same way 'fancy' does, they're different beasts tho xxo

We're basically in there just musically jerking off. Like, Ahhh! Yeahhh! Come onnn! Do ittt!"

lex's dream interview/article: http://www.factmagazine.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3961&Itemid=27

which obv is a v good read!

ever since i read about his artworld dabbling on wiki i've been dying to see that shit to no avail :/

i kept trying to find out more about it, his alias &c, but every time he was like HAHAHAHA no.

leaked

Both are great, but it's got to be The-Dream, right? He's already written some of the most iconic songs of his generation, plus Love vs. Money is hands down 2009's album of the year, in my book.

lol

how the received wisdom consensus has turned

hey barely anyone voted in the poll in the first placed and it closed like 3 months after t-d's first album was released, of course it can only tip in the other direction from there

lol u hated falsetto

lol i still do

u two ::)

yeah i'd never heard of dream's art career before either. it would be sorta interesting to see what his shit's like, at least

really good piece lex - the jerking off thing is funny & it makes me wonder what is relationship with los is like - does los just send him beats for terius to sing over? do they work together in the studio? is tricky there when los & terius are working? etc

yeah i voted dream orig but since then they do such completely different things 4 me that its 2 hard to pick

you just wanna know if all 3 of them ever have a jackoff sesh

not heard a Ne-Yo song i like anywhere near as much as 'Fancy'...musically - maybe a depth issue there that The-Dream wins

Maybe that's because "Fancy" sounds like it could be a Ne-Yo song, much more so than anything else in The-Dream's catalog.

this sounds like him just fucking around making a demo...no idea what to make of this other than that

who even knows when this is from/who it is for

all these niggas be poppin that bullshit
but I be in it like a preacher in a pulpit

i could die happy never hearing another lazy "bullshit/pulpit" rhyme ever again.

I've never otherwise noticed that rhyme and can't think of another example off the top of my head, not to say that there aren't any

The ones I could remember from songs I've heard lots of times include Kanye, Rich Boy, Beanie Sigel, Snoop Dogg and Ludacris, and a quick google also turned up Nas, Outkast, Saul WIlliams, Bizzy Bone, Pastor Troy, Ice Cube, Bun B, Ill Bill, Gucci Mane, ICP, Lyfe Jennings, Geto Boys, Mystikal, Killah Priest, Esoteric, Field Mob and Chumbawamba.

damn guess im never gonna listen to any of those guys ever again

nice s1ocki impression

you've thoroughly salted the earth for me what can I say
