I have no idea why I even nhed that
― The Reverend, Sunday, 3 August 2008 04:56 (fifteen years ago) link
btw this is way closer to a contemporary hip-hop album than a contemporary r&b album right (w/ the exception of "purple kisses" and maybe "luv songs" but that still has really hard drums and bass)?

SHAWTY GON HEAD GET UP ON THIS MIC THIS MIC
"she be on me like a kid on a bike" is kind of a wack line
― The Reverend, Sunday, 3 August 2008 05:18 (fifteen years ago) link

lots of great bridges on this album
no, it's not better than the justin album, but it's v. awesome. The JT ballads are all fantastic, esp. "(Another Song) All Over Again"
― Tape Store, Sunday, 3 August 2008 05:34 (fifteen years ago) link

I don't really hate JT, Justified and later N Sync are still my shit, I just thought that last album was mostly lousy.
― some dude, Monday, 4 August 2008 02:18 (fifteen years ago) link
btw dudes did you hear that The-Dream wrote stuff for Ne-Yo's album, should be interesting to see how their styles work together.

xxp
i remember brainwasher saying that dream said he already recorded his next album and was readying it for release this december, but i gotta imagine they're gonna try and push another single off this album. livin a lie? fast car?
― J0rdan S., Monday, 4 August 2008 02:32 (fifteen years ago) link
"would have pushed thru even earlier if Tim F. had heard it"
"did tim f ever listen to it?"
Ha ha deej did i not tell you this has become like my favourite album of the year? Me so predictable.
Anyway I wanted to bump this to talk about LL Cool J's "Baby" which is more like a The-Dream song than an LL song. "You're my baby/my baby/my baby" - classic "Shawty Is Da Shit" style chorus. For once LL Cool J sounds a bit flummoxed by the concept of a sugary love song.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 09:41 (fifteen years ago) link
ain't it "I'm your baby"? anyway at least "Shawty" had an actual chorus with several lines, instead of just one line over and over and a "yeahhhhhh" at the end. I kinda like that goofy-ass song, though, great drums and LL saying ridiculous embarrassing shit like "peace signs on the eyes like John Travolta" and ending a verse by shouting "SHE MAKES ME TINGLE!"
― some dude, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 12:37 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah you're right it's "I'm your baby". My favourite clunky LL line is:
“I’m really not sure if her breasts are fake/’cos with whipped cream on ‘em they taste just like cake.”

oh ffs what is this Hongro "good songs do THIS" horseshit -- STOP BEING AN ALEX ON ILX

(sorry -- just got an eyeful of alex's / some dude's top-to-bottom "The-Dream sucks :p" flouncing, & I couldn't stands no more)
― David R., Tuesday, 12 August 2008 13:28 (fifteen years ago) link
haha. all I meant was that Tim's description of it as having a 'classic "Shawty Is Da Shit" style chorus' seemed wholly inaccurate to me. fwiw these are probably 2 of my favorite songs w/ The-Dream on them as a performer (though not my favorite of his as a writer).
― some dude, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 13:36 (fifteen years ago) link
haha - it's all good.
still not sure if that TWIST @ the end of the LL track is awesome or corny or corny awesome or what
