thing i love about this is that the beats are weirdo but not just for the sake of being weirdo. there's a real interaction there... he's not just showing them off or even singing over them. it's a beat-driven tape but w/ real strong songwriting. he just does a lot of cool things on this.
also "rated r" is the best kells rip i've heard in a bit

Diddy executive producing his next LP. Dreaming of a weird, Mike Will-ified LTTP.
― Evan R, Thursday, 18 July 2013 21:01 (ten years ago) link
yeah that is kinda promising. whether or not it has LTTP-like vision, that's some major juice behind the project.

managed about 40 seconds of this new one

People keep singing this at karaoke at Bush Gardens in Seattle, because of someone's birthday party taking place. This is all I have to say about this song. (FIRST POST!)

― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 5 August 2014 17:27 (nine years ago) link
This teaser EP has me excited for the album, but I'm worried about the Mustard influence, too. Read an interview a few days ago where Jeremih took credit for "Show Me"—as he tells it, he was one of the song's primary writers, and was supposed to be on it instead of Chris Brown—so in his mind he claims some ownership of that whole sound, which is scary. There are so many more individualistic sounds he could be running with instead.
― Evan R, Tuesday, 5 August 2014 17:56 (nine years ago) link
When I was creating 'Don't Tell 'Em,' I was feeling a way because I was a part of the 'Show Me' record, with Kid Ink and Chris Brown, as far as from the writing side," he said. "I was actually on that song before Chris. Nobody really knows this: The day I wrote 'Don't Tell 'Em' was the day 'Show Me' went No. 1. It was like, 'Man, can you believe the song that I helped on and that I was on, went No. 1?' I was like, let me make my own..."
I mean, that definitely explains a lot, but at this point I expect more vision from Jeremih than "I'm going to make my own version of that one Chris Brown song"
― Evan R, Tuesday, 5 August 2014 18:02 (nine years ago) link
shitting on "don't tell em" privileges the auteur over the banger and when it comes to jeremih i'm not sure i can get with that
the great thing about 'late nights' is that he had a bunch of diff sounding beats on there

it's a good song with some cool moments that a lot of people like, it's okay if it's a tad generic
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 5 August 2014 21:08 (nine years ago) link
the guy's first ever single was a blatant rip off of the-dream, it's not like he's some historically original voice who must not be tampered down at any costs
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 5 August 2014 21:09 (nine years ago) link
i like it when he sings
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 5 August 2014 21:17 (nine years ago) link
Even the part where he sings "Rhythm is a Dancer"?
― Evan R, Tuesday, 5 August 2014 21:26 (nine years ago) link
what's wrong w/ him singing "rhythm is a dancer"

It's tacky
― Evan R, Tuesday, 5 August 2014 21:35 (nine years ago) link
it works. the song has other parts that work anyway.
i think you guys are being a bit too serious about this song.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 5 August 2014 21:41 (nine years ago) link
i think if Jeremih only had the Shlohmo EP out right now, or only had a standard issue Mustard radio song out right now, i might be tut tutting right along with you guys about the direction he's heading in. but instead he's got them both out, plus another EP, plus a release date for the album, and all of it's pretty dope to me and i'm happy to see dude winning.
― some dude, Tuesday, 5 August 2014 22:09 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I don't want to overstate my aversion to the single. It's not a travesty or anything. It's just a bit of a bummer that the guy is on a hot streak and this is the single we got. I really don't think it does justice to how spirited or inventive his recent output has been.
― Evan R, Tuesday, 5 August 2014 22:17 (nine years ago) link
It's probably a 50th percentile DJ Mustard single; I'd be excited about it if it were a 70th or 80th percentile one
― Evan R, Tuesday, 5 August 2014 22:19 (nine years ago) link
i think it's pretty good. only part that annoys me is "girl you know I'm from Chicago/ I act a fool, Bobby Brown wit it" because he delivers it like a punchline but Bobby's not from Chicago, it's just a string of unrelated lines.
― some dude, Tuesday, 5 August 2014 22:46 (nine years ago) link
the one drawback of the song to me is that the "don't tell em" part of the chorus is kind of drab, which is a shame cuz the pre-chorus "oooh why why why why" is really great imo. but even the "don't tell em" part is ushered in by this little roll of hi hats and a satisfying lil bass drop so i still fuck w/ it.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 6 August 2014 01:22 (nine years ago) link
It's just a bit of a bummer that the guy is on a hot streak and this is the single we got.
i was higher on 'late nights' than most people on this board iirc but 2013 was a lost year for him imo and we were almost halfway thru 2014 w/ stagnant buzz before this single dropped so i don't really agree w/ this statement
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 6 August 2014 01:24 (nine years ago) link
yeah. even if i didn't like the single, the Shlohmo EP had been delayed for like 6 months, and the album (which thank god is no longer called THUMPY JOHNSON) had been delayed for like 18 months. now we're getting 3 projects in the space of a couple months and a whole shitload of songs that sound nothing like "Don't Tell Em."
― some dude, Wednesday, 6 August 2014 01:38 (nine years ago) link
i don't recall having heard a jeremih song since "birthday sex" but "don't tell em" sounds p good to me.

you never heard "Down On Me"? that was technically bigger than "Birthday Sex"

Huh, it went to #4? I don't know how I missed it, but it doesn't sound familiar.

"don't tell 'em" is a fucking smash, it's one of the biggest songs on pop radio rn and still increasing. also it's gonna chart high in the uk. how does jeremih manage to do this every few years

there isn't even a video for "Don't Tell Em"

Just checked with his publicist; she says the release date is TBA next week ("hopefully"). Says the album is in and everything. Would be interesting to hear the logic behind the marketing of this thing tho
