Eh? What I'm saying is that there's two basslines in the tune - the bass sample from Queen and the synth bass, and I was talking about the latter.

― teledyldonix, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 14:51 (thirteen years ago) link
ok, is that PM Dawn song the one that sampled/interpolated "True" by Spandau Ballet, or a different one?
― San Te, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 14:53 (thirteen years ago) link
PM Dawn included better songs than "Set Adrift" on that first album, but Spandau Ballet never did; the song exists so that PM Dawn could sample it.

Much better, but it's R&B:

i love that song too -- not as much, but it's good. some of those lyrics, though...
i actually liked several songs from pm dawn's first 2 albums
― teledyldonix, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 21:48 (thirteen years ago) link
were they anything sonically similar to Arrested Development or another case of hotdogs
― San Te, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 21:49 (thirteen years ago) link
No "actually" necessary. The second one is great.
― Gucci Mane hermeneuticist (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 21:49 (thirteen years ago) link
I thought they were much better than Arrested Development.

They're like Arrested Development in that they took flowers and coats of many colors seriously.
― Gucci Mane hermeneuticist (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 21:53 (thirteen years ago) link
at least arrested development had one good song

Best P.M. Dawn of all, one of my favorite songs of the past 20 years:

Never even knew there was a video--it was a hit in Britian, but not North America. This version is somewhat different than what's on their first album.

I think what I dislike m8st about Missing You is that I didn't like the Police anyway and yet somehow Puffy sampling it made it worse. I had made a conscious decision at that point in my life to get into more hip-hop and Missing You helped derail that by getting played on the radio every hour.

"Missing You" is an obv cash grab & of questionable taste, but it's Puffy.. tbh I kind of admire the brazenness of the whole affair.
The worst song of these is clearly "Informer," which no amount of lol90s nostalgia can reconcile - it has aged very, very badly. Still, it isn't really a rap song, is it? Morelike Canadian dancehall.
I vote for Marky Mark.

if you're really defending this song on the grounds that "the beat is a classic" then you're basically saying every freestyle over a classic beat is a great song in its own right

i mean maybe you're just tired of kneejerk Puffy hating but tell me it's not the worst Bad Boy track on this list

i actually think "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" is a pretty lousy track—such a lazy beatjack and admittedly-nimble-yet-lethargic-sounding raps. But its miles from being the worst songs on this list
― hold me, thrill me, kiss me, lil b (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 29 August 2010 23:43 (thirteen years ago) link
like he and mase kind of sucked all the life out of that beat
i will say its an odd choice for a single. but it works w/in the album for me so w/e
