NE-YO v THE DREAM

I like shawty is the shit, I just never listen to it because I got burnt out on it before the album was released.

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

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

i.e. "dip it low" remix

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.

"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.

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

Nah, us queers are all mama's boys. ;)

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

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

and out of all those the only one im actually zzz on is 'i luv ur girl'

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)

Are they going to make "Livin' a Lie" a single or what?

xpost yeah, it's the r kelly version that doesn't have that part.

obviously the best version of all

"I Luv Your Girl" is just starting to climb, so if there is a 4th single it probably won't be for a while.

whoa that's a single???

obviously the best version of all

i cant tell if you're parodying yourself yet or not but that version is trash

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.

but I'm hoping less rap&b than double up, which kind of sucked.

why do you hate "i luv ur girl" so much deej lol

ad libs at the beginning grate, singing that whole opening on the same note is zzz, productionwise+melodically the most boring track

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.

PoMXII- Yeah, there's a video for it too.

they need to make "fast car" the last single and then get on to the new album already.

where did that jeezy verse come from??? lol that was hilarious

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

and out of all those the only one im actually zzz on is 'i luv ur girl'

That's the first one I heard, so I remain kinda fond of it, mostly for that falsetto chorus.

Seems like "Livin' a Lie" would be such an obvious hit though! I'd definitely be interested to see how it charts.

lose/lose

Agreed. Young Jeezy sounds massively constipated.

I like the new loverman Jeezy but starting your single off with his political commentary is goofy as hell

the line also makes no sense at all, which is becoming more and more common for him

yeah that verse is :/

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

right?

now we can all agree. Group hug!

i wonder how many ne-yo voters have heard dream's album

note the similarities between ditch that http://youtube.com/watch?v=Vnrgdzq9xQM and david banners fuck em http://youtube.com/watch?v=uOYbFADoINE

The first Ne-Yo album is better than The-Dream's album by an order of magnitude.

Ne-Yo won because a better singer, a better songwriter, and less imminently punchable.

dan perry jr

rong + says 'order of magnitude'

Whatever, dude. There's probably at least 5 Ne-Yo songs and at least 5 more that Ne-Yo's written that I've liked more than anything Dream's touched.

Also, half of Dream's output it total horseshit and he's never written or sang anything I'd go so far as to say I loved.

I have The Reverend's back all the way, even the saying order of magnitude thing.
