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

Evan R, Sunday, 17 July 2011 14:10 (twelve years ago) link

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

dread the flopson (some dude), Sunday, 17 July 2011 14:46 (twelve years ago) link

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.

Evan R, Sunday, 17 July 2011 14:56 (twelve years ago) link

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.

dread the flopson (some dude), Sunday, 17 July 2011 15:02 (twelve years ago) link

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

dayo, Sunday, 17 July 2011 18:33 (twelve years ago) link

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

g+ invites?

generous doler out of lollies (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 17 July 2011 18:36 (twelve years ago) link

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)

dread the flopson (some dude), Sunday, 17 July 2011 18:51 (twelve years ago) link

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

dread the flopson (some dude), Sunday, 17 July 2011 18:55 (twelve years ago) link

oh yeah it's 'when i see u'

dayo, Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:10 (twelve years ago) link

i'm intrigued by the idea

J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:36 (twelve years ago) link

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

J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:36 (twelve years ago) link

challop alert

og "when i see u" > remix

bros -izing bros (k3vin k.), Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:39 (twelve years ago) link

^agreed

yes

dread the flopson (some dude), Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:46 (twelve years ago) link

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

yeah, this is the best part of the song

J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:54 (twelve years ago) link

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

J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:54 (twelve years ago) link

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

dread the flopson (some dude), Sunday, 17 July 2011 21:12 (twelve years ago) link

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.

Evan R, Sunday, 17 July 2011 23:31 (twelve years ago) link

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

youmadin therapy (k3vin k.), Thursday, 21 July 2011 05:33 (twelve years ago) link

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

(oboe interlude) (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 20:58 (twelve years ago) link

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

Notinnymane (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 22:16 (twelve years ago) link

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

this song is like a year old but I just realized that it was co-written by both Ne-Yo and The-Dream and it seems like it needs to be posted here, as this thread's anticlimactic finale.

"Love Vs. Money"
"Love Vs. Money: Part 2"
I'm hoping these flow into one another, the segue being announced by a sudden irruption/eruption of melodramatic strings.

this thread <33

god, remember the first time you heard love vs money? we're at about the 5 year anniversary of when the songs were leaking/the album leaked. i remember going on a bus trip to NOLA (from new england) hours after the album leaked, and listening to the album at least 50 times that week

i believe j0rdan sent it to me over aim lol
