ftr, i do like some mmts songs, even did at the time i discovered how enjoyable a pasttime clowning on him is, but he is still a mans of alarming inconsequence
― welcome back, ma$ed god (The Reverend), Saturday, 21 August 2010 04:03 (thirteen years ago) link
he is like the rick ross of r&b in terms of the "how the fuck did this guy become a star?" effect
― welcome back, ma$ed god (The Reverend), Saturday, 21 August 2010 04:05 (thirteen years ago) link
that cee lo is great an it sounds like its from the past

i don't know about that, demographically speaking Trey seems kinda like the perfect midpoint between Usher and Chris Brown that his stardom seems somewhat inevitable. even when he was an also-ran for a couple years he was steadily on the rise, it's not like he was the 5th most famous guy on Slip N Side for almost a decade like Ross. (xpost)
― richie goingham (some dude), Saturday, 21 August 2010 11:58 (thirteen years ago) link
dunno about that, feels like his first two albums both made zero splash and by the time of the third r&b had sunk low enough that he was the only guy of his ilk around. gucci and drake spots sealed the deal.
he does seem to be getting better with fame though tbf.

i've listened to "breaking point" like 10 times now, i think it's her best song
where are yall on this
― k3vin k., Saturday, 21 August 2010 17:50 (thirteen years ago) link
"breaking point" is kind of... lurching, but i also think that it's pretty great
fantasia song is great too
ne-yo ain't bad, it's just really sappy in a way that i can't get past
― be my anchor baby (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 21 August 2010 18:20 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah the song i was talking about is the new jazmine -- i like this a lot, much more than any singles off the last album aside from "need u bad"
― be my anchor baby (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 21 August 2010 18:21 (thirteen years ago) link

havent listened yet but 'what if i kissed you' -- how neurotically 'perfect' (wack) for the drake persona
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE GUCCI (deej), Sunday, 22 August 2010 02:50 (thirteen years ago) link
it's a good joint
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 22 August 2010 02:51 (thirteen years ago) link
it's a reference track anyhow
also it has some classically dope stargate production
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 22 August 2010 02:53 (thirteen years ago) link
fantasia has a new album coming out ,what!!
― yiffster runoff (dyao), Sunday, 22 August 2010 03:01 (thirteen years ago) link
flicking thru the fantasia alb and it sounds like it might be pretty good but maaan i forgot all about 'man of the house', let alone how much i loved it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1Nxpes6wgM
fave r&b song of the year i think?
― r|t|c, Sunday, 22 August 2010 10:23 (thirteen years ago) link
looks like it's gonna be the 2nd single as well
I hadn't even heard that before! It is great.
― Tim F, Sunday, 22 August 2010 10:27 (thirteen years ago) link
nice
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE GUCCI (deej), Sunday, 22 August 2010 17:32 (thirteen years ago) link
most important thing i learned from MMTS is that the ad lib that i thought was "C'MERE" is actually "C'MON." also he said that the new album is more like Anticipation than anything else he's done, which some of y'all should be happy to hear.
― BACKSTABBERS: THEY SMILE @ U FACE (some dude), Monday, 23 August 2010 19:25 (thirteen years ago) link
i kind of like that i can hear mmts working really hard to overcome his inconsequentiality these days
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 23 August 2010 19:34 (thirteen years ago) link
"bottoms up" is pretty good -- the problem is that it's just as generic as "say ahh" but not as fun
― J0rdan S., Monday, 23 August 2010 19:40 (thirteen years ago) link
writing a sidebar thing about Trey collaborationz, got "Girl Tonite" and "Successful" and not sure what the 3rd i wanna talk about is
― BACKSTABBERS: THEY SMILE @ U FACE (some dude), Monday, 23 August 2010 19:47 (thirteen years ago) link
oh man
― J0rdan S., Monday, 23 August 2010 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link
might be funny to do a "why is he in the Turk spot on the Hot Boyz reunion cut" type thing
― BACKSTABBERS: THEY SMILE @ U FACE (some dude), Monday, 23 August 2010 19:52 (thirteen years ago) link
i assume you mean ones that are good?
i'd say "girl you know" or... uh... "sex room"?
maybe the hot boys reunion one? don't even remember if it's good tho
― J0rdan S., Monday, 23 August 2010 19:52 (thirteen years ago) link
lol yeah
i mean mainly ones that are popular or noteworthy or interesting to talk about in some way.
― BACKSTABBERS: THEY SMILE @ U FACE (some dude), Monday, 23 August 2010 20:00 (thirteen years ago) link
idk if it counts but i think his verse on the "lemonade" remix is one of his most interesting, or at least one of the few times that a mmts verse made me sit up and pay attention
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 23 August 2010 20:03 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe the one off the new bun album w/ the disembodied verses of pimp & pac
― J0rdan S., Monday, 23 August 2010 20:03 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i'm thinking prolly one of the weird mixtape/remix tracks, like i loved his verses on the "Addiction" and "I'm The Ish" remixes.
― BACKSTABBERS: THEY SMILE @ U FACE (some dude), Monday, 23 August 2010 20:08 (thirteen years ago) link
I know I'm eons late on this, but What's the 901? is really something. 'You Should've Killed Me' and 'Self-Made' are great. Ditto 'Bad 4 My Health'. And 'Hit Em in the Mouth' is sort of perfect.
I could take or leave the track with R Kelly and Number One, but yeah. K. Michelle is the real thing. Sorry, Lex.
I keep seeing Keyshia Cole and Mary J comparisons, but that's not quite right. Is there another precedent for this kind of thing that I'm missing?

"Breaking Point" apparently destined to join "Bed" and "Sex Therapy" in the pantheon of songs k3ller freaks out about that seem like nothing special to me.

MTV gave some details about Miguel's upcoming album:
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1646404/20100824/miguel_1_.jhtml
Now, with his debut, also called All I Want Is You, tentatively slated for a February release, the singer hopes he can win over even more fans with his mix of edgy R&B and inspirations as eclectic as David Bowie, James Brown and Queen.
"I think the operative word as opposed to bringing R&B back, my intension is to take it forward," he said. "So as we push boundaries, boundaries are there for a reason. They have their anchors, they have their foundations, and pushing those away or trying to move them is gonna take effort. That's OK. That's what we as artists are here for: to push those boundaries and explore outside and push things further.
Sounds pretty good to me. Also: H/T to Janelle Monae for making it cool for R&B singers to cite Bowie.
― Evan R, Thursday, 26 August 2010 22:07 (thirteen years ago) link
somehow i really don't trust a major label saying a marginal figure's album is going to drop in february when it's august

and certainly hate anything of that prissy, arch, clever-clever, too-cool-for-soul approach being brought into r&b

I missed Miguel when he played live in the park but the crowd seemed really into him

For decades, R&B singers have been teasing influences by citing influences way more eclectic than the ones they actually draw from, so I'm sure the record will be more Confessions than Aladdin Sane.
How big of a hit is "All I Want is You"? It's one of my favorite singles of the year, but I haven't heard it on the radio yet, so I have no sense of its reach.
