thread of miguel

Eh, it's not that unusual. Remember that not just Miguel, but Jessie Ware and Nicki Minaj placed three tracks each in this year's poll. Last year Beyonce did and the year before that TayTay had three and Kanye had four.

groove theory not dru hill :)

:( i suppose that is a little more in miguel's style

Groove Theory >>> tho

i can't agree with you, if only because i recently had to run 10 laps around camden yards for saying 112 was better than dru hill

lol

Ha I prefer 112 too

otm. not even close imo

bummer, i wanna hear this
Groove Theory is a great choice

yeah, catalog is just stronger. DH's best songs are due for reappraisal though. xp

Is it weird that I listen to Dru Hill on a regular basis?

no that's pretty cool

jagged edge v. dru hill

a fairer fight, i can't all it, but i give the edge to DH

call it

wow, "adorn" is the first song in history to be on top of the r&b/hip-hop airplay chart for 20 straight weeks

http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/1531803/miguel-adorns-no-1-on-rbhip-hop-airplay-for-20th-week-weekly

well i guess that isn't necessarily straight weeks (?). but first to hit 20 in any event.

yeah they were consecutive, i'm pretty sure

damn!

Sweet

this is the only Dru Hill joint I ever really fucked with that much

I dunno, I always found Sisqo vaguely offputting

oh he's pretty ridiculous

'use me' on speakers slays - the overtracked vocals he does at 3:05 really leap out and fill the room

It's always weird to me to consider many people don't usually listen to music on speakers

I live in a small-ass apartment with lots of roomies : |

I listen to music quietly on my speakers all the time

kind of defeats the purpose?

mot really, since I generally can't stand wearing headphones

crying

Arch your back. Point your toes.

should I go to the gym or masturbate?

why not both? It's the equivalent of after dinner port.

his tongue!

Trying to think of a more satisfying music success story from the last five years or so than Miguel, and I really can't

I've read a couple variations of the "Miguel is great and all, but he doesn't have a narrative" argument in the wake of his Grammy spotlight, but I don't really think that's true. "Auteur works his way through the studio system, his vision intact" is a pretty inspiring narrative in its own right these days

if someone's narrative "is good at making music, finds success in making music, also is sexy," then that's not really a narrative, it's just image and/or simple facts.
