i'm not sure what the "pay me for the song" stuff is about -- he might be saying that liquor companies are paying people? idk who knows

i um...gotta dissent a bit here, not really feeling this quite as much as everyone else is. beat is nice, kinda standard "mr yeah"/"more than just friends"/"hard" bounce (drums are very Los but they both use that piano really similarly so it's kinda hard to tell) but nothing wrong with that. having a tougher time getting into the vocals, really hate when dream puts on that flat affect. it's not bad though, chorus is kinda lazy but it gets better toward the end

I like the thing his voice does on the line "Got a girl that's shy-yyyy"
― hiv prevention lobster (The Reverend), Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:27 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't think there's anything standard about "mr. yeah"! also it sounds nothing like "hard" -- it sounds patently like the-dream and i think that's great. compare it to like... "walkin on the moon" or something & i think it's way better.
like i think it sounds like TERIUSBOT in the best way -- he has a control of his sound & is working within it while flipping a few things -- it's a bit weird structurally for him & it's a totally hilarious song, i think it slots in nicely with "my love" & "rockin that shit" which were total sonic outliers as singles off lvm
but then again i like 'how to be a lady' more than mariah & don't think 'rockin that shit' is the pinnacle of his singles discog so ymmv
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:32 (fourteen years ago) link
i didn't mean "standard" perjoratively, just that it's a style he's used a bunch of times before

ha well i also like the e red more than the mariah, but i think it's pretty clear that this fits a lot better with the latter? people complain about his melodic range, especially on the mariah; i think i'm feeling the same thing right now but it's hard to legit criticize him for it because he clearly wrote this song with about 5 notes for a reason - i just wish he wouldn't do it.
i guess a decent reference point for this would be "shawty is the shit!" but i think he does a lot more with that. much better middle eight & chorus & melody - i saw someone mention the harmonies (which totally make "shawty" imo) but i didn't notice them here, gonna re-listen
― vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:43 (fourteen years ago) link
you might be right idk -- i'm waiting on JUDGE SHIPLEY to deliver the verdict
i think when you get dream working out of his zone sonically you might end up with "hit it on the road" or "let me see the booty"
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:49 (fourteen years ago) link
specifically i like that it works off that glistening, golden "rockin that shit" sound but goes for something more audacious and clubbier and a bit more... gangsta (as much as terius can)
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:50 (fourteen years ago) link
this does sound like TERIUSBOT
b-side material
but I still love it
― dyao, Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:58 (fourteen years ago) link
tbh it is so hard to approach this objectively because i have so much invested in him as an artist. i think it's safe to say though that this song is VERY standard dream - he basically mixes a bunch of ingredients that have made him great (bouncy piano, echo-y chorus, orgasm bridge, "AYY", etc) and for me this time it came out a little diluted for some reason. it's not a bad song tho! i mean love/hate is basically one of my favorite albums ever and even i can't bring myself to give a shit about "ditch that..."
still have super high hopes for the album of course
xxxp my non-bold prediction - shipley will like this more than "hard" but less than "obsessed"
xp dude besides mayyybe the drums this has nothing in common with "rockin that shit" - "hard" is the closest imho
― vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 18 February 2010 06:02 (fourteen years ago) link
i think this is gonna be a huge hit
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 February 2010 06:04 (fourteen years ago) link
the synths are great cause they have that weird texture from "The Beautiful Ones" without going for a full pastiche of that song like everyone else who breaks out that synth timbre does
― hiv prevention lobster (The Reverend), Thursday, 18 February 2010 06:05 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah this could def go top 15 or so - i think that with all of his singles tho so who knows
― vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 18 February 2010 06:08 (fourteen years ago) link
really? what's different about this single that will propel it to the top
― dyao, Thursday, 18 February 2010 06:12 (fourteen years ago) link
well this is not going anywhere near "the top" but it could certainly be a hit of similar magnitude to his other hits - 15-25 range.

yeah this sounds pretty "standard" terius but standard terius is great - it's not as weird as "hit it on the road" but this is such a feelgood cut and it'll be an excellent spring jam when spring deigns to show its face - sounds like a much fuller take on "shawty is da shit", there's a ton of stuff going on in the background.
yeah and the mood is similar too; call all destroyer otm re: buoyancy

This song is pretty good but I mean... it sounds like everything else by Terius, there's nothing game-changing here at all and I don't see how this'll be a big hit for him... and I find it kind of funny that y'all are going gaga over this pretty standard song but are bashing the new Usher shit, "Little Freak" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this.

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 February 2010 19:47 (fourteen years ago) link
people need to explain to me what's wrong with the song sounding like terius. since when is this a bad thing? los uses the same drums on EVERY song! i missed when dream singles were like huge leaps in r&b sonics. if we're talking about "fancy" or something then that's different, but all of his singles are just great 'normal' r&b like this is...

― plaxico (I know, right?), Thursday, 18 February 2010 19:56 (fourteen years ago) link
well also from a practical standpoint we are all v. familiar with two terius solo albums as well as his work with other artists so it stands to reason that the "we are surprised by this guy" phase of his career might be winding down....
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 18 February 2010 19:58 (fourteen years ago) link
"fancy" is a dope song but it doesn't have the same kind of sonic wonder as "rockin that shit", which was the lead single to the last album and a lot better obv.
anyway my beef wasn't that it "sounds like terius" as much as it draws on all the things that I love about him but all of the parts are kind of half-assed. it's like mixing your favorite colors and it coming out brown
