NE-YO v THE DREAM

he didn't write "don't make me wait" fyi

jazmine writes all of her songs

[/jazmine stan]

^^

hm

i stan corrected

hey now

sorry for pedantry rocking, but i genuinely didn't think "in the last year" included the-dream's album from 13 months ago

come on son...what has ne-yo done in the last year that's worth a shit?

are we really writing artists off completely based on one duff album?

i mean it's not like i think libra scale was any good at all, but one subpar album ≠ OMG ~DECLINE~

as far as i'm concerned terius is still reliably excellent too

that album had a few jams. also i'm a big fan of "Pretty Girl Rock" and "U Get On My Nerves"

yes in fact isn't k3v (and anyone with taste) also a big fan of those two?

well there's fan and there's stan. i just feel like the only ne-yo stan around here sometimes.

I got your back

Da-Yo

My Ne-Yo stanning is a few years past its peak.

everyone's is, really, but "Give Me Everything" at least momentarily has me back in love with his voice

"Give Me Everything" would be one of my favorite songs of the year if you swapped out Pitbull for Jeezy.

that's...a really weird idea, dude

It is, but there's some precedent for it. Jeezy's guest verses on Polow/Lloyd/Usher tracks have been really great; it's not his preferred subject matter, but the guy raps well about being in a club. Plus his hardness would undercut the song's sappiness.

eh, i've never heard him rap on a tempo like that, at least not well -- when he does do good fast flows it's usually still over a slow beat. i might prefer Jeezy overall but Pit's been rapping over uptempo club beats his whole career and "Give" is one of his best to date (even if his rapping's been better in the past). Jeezy is one of the last rappers i ever want to see on the Eurohouse bandwagon.

I can see where evan's coming from - jeezy's verses on love in this club/like you'll never seem again are really complementary imo

oh damn spotify is great - a whole list of jeezy guest verses at your fingertips

g+ invites?

i guess i don't see how "give me everything" has much in common with "love in this club" (and i have never heard any version of "like you'll never see me again" with jeezy on it)

wait maybe you meant the "when i see u" remix? don't see the comparison there either anyway.

oh yeah it's 'when i see u'

i'm intrigued by the idea

the problem is that jeezy couldn't pull off the part in that song where pitbull sings

challop alert

og "when i see u" > remix

^agreed

yes

what's the part where Pitbull sings? the "excuse me" part?

challop alert

lol wasn't the remix your fav song of the 00s or some thing

what's the part where Pitbull sings? the "excuse me" part?

yeah, this is the best part of the song

also i don't know how the counter challop of the remix being better than the original even started, but it's not really even a discussion

oh god are we doing COUNTER CHALLOPS now excuse me while i pull my fork out of the tofu and stick it in an electric outlet

RIP forks, heaven needed a mod double agent

lol

Speaking of counterchallops, am I the only one who thinks "Give Me Everything" more or less sucks balls?

Picked up that Monica album, Brainwasher, and it's pretty great. Thanks!

Also, the new Kelly Rowland album is deeeeee-lightful.

glad you like it!

did rowland leak or did you get an advance? How does it compare to Ms. Kelly - anything on the level of "Flashback"?

(I meant to post that last msg in the R&B thread; sorry if it was off topic)

It seems a logical continuation of Ms. Kelly; though clubbier. Honestly, no huge OMG standouts aside from Motivation, but no real duds either; it just holds together really well.

amazing to me how ships can vote ne-yo when dream wrote ALL OF how to be a lady!

so as not to make the whole "4" thread about dreamer, he realllllly brought it on beyonce's new album; he's got as many great songs on "4" as he did on his last solo album

so he's releasing a free album on the 31st

yeah he's going on another emo twitter rant about it - i'd c&p it but i'm on my phone

can't wait for neyo's new free album!
