NE-YO v THE DREAM

I take bakc all the bad thing s I said about the dream except for the ones I meant

like pillsbury cookies

from fast car onward this thing knocks the fuck out (and thats only cuz ive heard the first two so much on the radio)

def one of my favorite of the decade

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

I dunno about one of the best of the decade but def one of the best of the year for real

I see the whole ditch that nigga sounds like awesome dyke-rap thing

wait is this better than the justin album?

either one I guess

woah the bridge of ditch that sounds particularly awes

"we make lv songs" - so obv but so perfect

wait is this better than the justin album?

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"

i cant wait for shipley to show up and tell us that both these albums suck

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"

yeah I 'm inclined to agree with this. at any rate another song >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mama

xp: hahaha

I forgot al hates JT

bridges are always my fav parts of songs

^^^ not true

but a lot of the time

ya this is fucking great, also at the end of "nikki" into "she needs my love" he basically mashes up his own songs (no herb-o)

okay guys I have a question.

"the american dream. mmhmm. and you know what I mean.."

what does he mean?

I don't really hate JT, Justified and later N Sync are still my shit, I just thought that last album was mostly lousy.

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.

its called 'blending' dude

i think it's okay but by the time it comes on im ready to move on to something else or replay other songs on the album. if it was like the 6th track or w/e i'd let it play through tho

no problem New Jack Sargent

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?

"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.

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!"

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.”

???

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.

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)

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).

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

it ain't trickin' if you're GOAT

Nikki is the best thing in the world right now..."Naw, I ain't mad, HELL NAWW, I AIN'T SADD"

^^otm

those strings!

For the record I meant that "I'm Your Baa-by/Your Baa-by/Your Baa-by" reminds me (specifically) of "Shawty is da Shee-it/Shee-it/Shee-it".

Yeah there's no equivalent of the heavenly "It was Keisha..." bridge, but, well, it is supposed to be LL's song.

Yeah I love "Nikki" so much, weird to see people cool on it in this thread.

Lloyd - I Need Love / Sterling Simms - All I Need

Lloyd's version is better, but I think it's gonna be Sterling's 1st (5th actually...) single, should be a success for him finally. Great song, one of Dream's best in a while.

xp that was pretty much just j0rdan s. and he came around on that a week ago

and someone named 'lou'

yeah, "Nikki" is the sh-sh-sh-sh-sugar honey ice tea
