j0rdan otm about mama
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link
it's weird cuz i think if livin a lie/mama were in the middle of the album i'd be like "well this album is really great except it's got these two average songs" but w/ the tracklisting the way it is i like forget they exist sometimes and finish the album @ luv songs thinking "A++++ album" in my head

re: "Mama"- I don't hate it. It's just awkward after listening to lines like "She keep them thongs chewin' on her asshole".
― lou, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link
lol yeah, it's like that last song on T-pain's Epiphany album, "Sounds Bad" . An emotional ballad after all of the party tracks is just kind of weird.

I can't believe you guys aren't feeling "nikki" and "shawty is the shit" more
― PoMXII, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link
I like shawty is the shit, I just never listen to it because I got burnt out on it before the album was released.
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link
and I prefer the edited "shawty is a 10" version w/o fabolous.
'shawty' was in my top 5 singles last year and imo 'nikki' is just surrounded by a bunch of better songs so it kinda pales in comparison
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i rarely listen to it anymore either except i prefer the 'shawty is a ten' version with fabolous
does anyone like "Mama"? To me that's the only totally blah tune.

this is the incorrect opinion to have
fabo's verse is awesome-- he's not a great rapper anymore (ever?) by any means but he's kind of the perfect dude for songs like these
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
i.e. "dip it low" remix

"Sounds Bad" is by far one of my favorites on the album! and it's still pretty midtempo and silly (he says "frigidator"), I think "Suicide" is a much bigger disruption to the tone of the rest of the album.

Nah, us queers are all mama's boys. ;)
― lou, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link
the intro of "Shawty" worked way better on the original, the added Fab verse kinda steps all over it.
but basically nikki on up is all around the same level xxp
― deej, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Luv Songs - Falsetto - Playin In Her Hair - She Needs My Love - Shawty is Da Shit- Fast Car - Purple Kisses - Nikki Mama Livin A Lie Ditch That I Luv Ur Girl
i would switch 'i luv your girl' and 'nikki' but otherwise i think deej is otm
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
and out of all those the only one im actually zzz on is 'i luv ur girl'
― deej, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
does the Fab version even have that first "shawty rock to the beat for ya boy" bit before the beat kicks in? I can't remember but I don't think it does. (xpost)
― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Are they going to make "Livin' a Lie" a single or what?
― lou, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:56 (sixteen years ago) link
xpost yeah, it's the r kelly version that doesn't have that part.

obviously the best version of all
― PoMXII, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link
"I Luv Your Girl" is just starting to climb, so if there is a 4th single it probably won't be for a while.
― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 1 May 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link
whoa that's a single???

i cant tell if you're parodying yourself yet or not but that version is trash
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm excited to hear Kells' new album "12 Play: 4th Quarter" because obviously working with The-Dream & T-Pain has rly rubbed off on him if "Hair Braider" is anything to go by, so maybe he'll take their style to a different level.
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link
but I'm hoping less rap&b than double up, which kind of sucked.

ad libs at the beginning grate, singing that whole opening on the same note is zzz, productionwise+melodically the most boring track
― deej, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link
the personalized version of "Shawty" that The-Dream did for Big Tigger's radio show is kinda good, even if it displays that he's an even worse singer live than on studio recordings.
― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link
PoMXII- Yeah, there's a video for it too.
― lou, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
they need to make "fast car" the last single and then get on to the new album already.
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
where did that jeezy verse come from??? lol that was hilarious
― PoMXII, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link
the other thing is i luv ur girl comes right in between huge awesome catchy pop single and smooth prince album highlight
and as a single it has young jeezy
lose/lose
― deej, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:07 (sixteen years ago) link
That's the first one I heard, so I remain kinda fond of it, mostly for that falsetto chorus.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Seems like "Livin' a Lie" would be such an obvious hit though! I'd definitely be interested to see how it charts.
Agreed. Young Jeezy sounds massively constipated.
― lou, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:11 (sixteen years ago) link
I like the new loverman Jeezy but starting your single off with his political commentary is goofy as hell
― PoMXII, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:12 (sixteen years ago) link
the line also makes no sense at all, which is becoming more and more common for him
― PoMXII, Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:13 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah that verse is :/

so.. how did ne-yo win this poll again? lol

right?
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 May 2008 21:19 (sixteen years ago) link

The first Ne-Yo album is better than The-Dream's album by an order of magnitude.
― The Reverend, Friday, 2 May 2008 01:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Ne-Yo won because a better singer, a better songwriter, and less imminently punchable.
