Terius "The-Dream" Nash Solo Albums + Major Writing/Production Credits (Electrik Red, Mariah Carey, Ciara)

because people whose full-time career is music, who have the time, $$$, star power and creativity to put on a good live show with appropriate planning/practice, should be expected to do so?

oh forgot dream had "star power" lol

Clearly anyone who would expect The-Dream to have a good live show has never seen one of his videos

lol

or noticed how weak and feeble his singing voice is and how much studio craft goes into making it listenable

(guess which part he doesn't do)

You could not pay me enough to go see Radio Killa Revue.

I would rather watch the animatronics at Chuck E Cheese and play skeeball.

loooooooooool not even going to press play on that vid

it's not gonna give you VD, dude

at least take a gander

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

voted love vs. moneyyyy

? thought you were a love king guy

my ranking looks something like--

Love King = Love Vs Money >>> Love/Hate = Basic Instinct = How to Be a Lady >>>>> Memoirs

sorry lex

first two are interchangeable for #1 depending on day/mood/etc.

i've played love king a ton this year but i prob played love vs money twice as much in 2009 and would admittedly choose it at gunpoint so

jaymc are you getting this?

lvm def more respectable than lk

Voted Love vs Money but was real close to picking Memoirs for fear it's getting shut out.

Love/Hate beats Love King solely on the fact that "Fast Car" = the Little Red Corvette of the 00s

I love "Fast Car" partly because of how much it reminds me of "Little Red Corvette" but it's ridiculous to equate it with "Little Red Corvette"

yeah

10.0/potential favorite albums ever:

1. love/hate
2. how to be a lady

9.5/10:

3. love vs. money

8.5/10:

4. love king

8.0/10:

5. basic instinct

7.0/10:

6. memoirs

this is more or less exactly what I got, cept I ain't heard Ciara yet

so bored of this guys presence on ilm yeesh

r u bored of bangers, sir?

just saying maybe the problem lies *within u*

it's ridiculous to equate it with Little Red Corvette in terms of impact for sure, given Prince's pop stature versus The-Dream's very moderate levels of success, but in this case I was strictly speaking sonically.

ditto

so post in other threads then.

yeha more chillwave please

Love vs Money was the first Terius I heard so maybe that colours my view. Didn't hear L/H until after I'd heard Love King so at the moment it doesn't resonate with me as much as those other 2. Never felt the urge to listen to a Mariah Carey album, and didn't much care for the Ciara.

you know me so well, k3v, i clearly want more posts about chillwave and not other R&B artists.

uh i dont think he was spec. targeting u w/ that maybe

oh i know but it was still such a disingenuous zing

e. red

^^ someone who knows what's up

oh i know but it was k3vin keller

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ha -- i really had no idea how the results were gonna fall

these results are shockingly close to my opinion! lol vote-splitting begets justice.

kinda surprised e red won

I can't say I had heard of The-Dream before Love King (well a single or two). But if he's as good as posters here are saying, I really must delve deeper into his catalogue. I suppose this Electrik Red album is a good place to start!

Correct winner.

Yeah i voted e-red w/v little hesitation.

Poor cici :(

yeah first her career fell apart now this

haha

looooooooool

i'm now willing to admit that i have underrated the mariah album

someone tell ramzi

still think it's a bit weak at the middle & the very end but "the impossible" -> "the impossible (reprise)" is so pretty -- vocoders kill me

layin in the bed bumpin joedci etc

and "candy bling" is still one of the hardest hitting songs terius has ever written

also the use of interpolations on the album is unique in the dream discog & very effective across the album imo
