Rolling R&B Thread 2010

not really feelin his falsetto

been listening to this long-lost 90s danny boy (of 'i aint mad at cha' fame) album on death row that's belatedly come out now - understandably not quite as good as you'd breathlessly expect something mainly produced by quik and devante to be, but still some really good vintage stuff on there. check the 'it's all about u' epic lullaby realness:

this is his classic joint btw, inexplicably hilarious video

this isn't exactly current r&b, but y'all should check out Little Ann.

(xp well ok not inexplicable, it's the groovin on water in his big winter coat at 1:18 and painstaking sandcastle craft at 2:28)

The Junior cover sounded exactly like I thought it would.

I know we've spoken about the mind-opening "Ride" video, but have we spoken about this anywhere?

Although it seems a little bit like two different songs put together, I love that despite the obvious budget constraints this is the first video I've really noticed Ciara with a personality.

i just saw the ride video and my mind was fucking opened. talk about personality

i market it so gooooooooooooddddd

love this video

has someone posted Blauw with the ciara leaks?

O_O at video

this is funny! 'dance with you' by the futhamuckas - like an early low budget black eyed peas, except they can't dance. found while browsing thru electrik red's back catalogue and shonky phone camera videos .. it probably belongs more in a rolling pop thread but i dont go on that. don't bother with their earlier songs by the way! but this one is sort of impossible not to like (someone will probly hate it within the next 30 seconds)

electrik red has been doing shows w/ the futhamuckas, and the one song i heard of theirs - "the bitch" - was literal dog shit

they're like the r&b version of the teriyaki boyz

ok, I think I need to watch the actual "If It Isn't Love" video now to recover

haha! oh well i laughed.

i actually like this song okay -- the one dude is too gay to be singing about girls and the other two are not gay enough to be dancing like that tho

lol

i think i get the same kick out of it as when i used to help my friend capture her little brother and make him over - can see why dudes might not find it as adorable as me!!

:-D

dying here, cici is on fire

lolling hard at the deeply average and same-old new amerie song being from the forthcoming album CYMATICA: VOLUME ONE

^^^was just thinking this

loooollooool

Not to be mean, but why would you want an alter ego when you don't even have a recognizable personality to begin with?

my straight friend zach was at my apt the other day and the Ride video came on. he stood up and stared and couldn't stop staring, and singing the song. i was like, proud. he goes "i've never heard of this ciara before" and i was like, now you have.

this was once a dope underated los album cut on sean garrett's album marred by that idiot's foul voice and a weezy cameo, now astutely resurrected as a launch single for some new chris brown replacement on def jam - A+ good look imo

haha wow you weren't kidding with "chris brown replacement"
