Yes.

this is a proper banger

j0rdan STOP USING THE WORD "BANGER" TO DESCRIBE SONGS THAT ARE NOT UPTEMPO

i feel like this bangs

properly

jordan STOP USING "PROPER" LIKE YOU ARE A BRITISH PERSON

i'm reserving full judgment til i hear how it plays out over the course of an album proper

but this is like one of those midtempo slinkers like sex intelligent or she needs my love that have never been among my favorite terius songs, but have never been among my least favorite terius songs either

kevin he is not saying this song is a sausage

sad lol btw ;_;

is lex living in the same post-"One in a Million" world as the rest of us?

"one in a million" is not a banger

it's like calling "crazy in love" a ballad, it's just blatantly the wrong word

whoa now

oh nm i misread you, i thought you were saying crazy in love was NOT a sausage

A big part of "One in a Million"'s innovation was that it was a ballad that was also a club song.

"I think when "If Your Girl Only Knew" first came out, people kinda said, Oh, she got a new sound. But then when "One in a Million" came out, the beat and the melody were so different from anything. I was in a club one night, the DJ took it back TEN TIMES, no lie. And this was in the middle of him playing, like, Biggie records and Tupac records, and here goes "One in a Million" in the middle of all this street rap! That's when I said, OK, this is something different--we are going somewhere else, we are kind of switching the sound. "

--Missy

i had literally no idea that "one in a million" was a game changer, why not continue explaining it to me rev

i know you know that, my point is just that they haven't been exclusive categories at any time since

i know that as well, my point was that using "banger" as synonymous with "good song" is just a failure of vocabulary that renders the word meaningless

I haven't heard the song in question yet so no specific comment there but if it goes off in the club it qualifies as a banger to me

WOW this is good

i do use these simultaneously from time to time but this song sounds like a "banger" to me even if it's nto up tempo... it's pretty loud, for instance

"IV play" feels like vintage terius to me in that it has like four diff hooks, the funny thing is that the main chorus is by far the least memorable of them all

it's so hilarious to me that he wrote a song about 12 Play and then flipped the title to reduce the cleverness of it

easily the best (or least underwhelming?) of all his recent songs though imo

the verses very 'memoirs'-era imo

it's good but i prefer the nu-FILA "slow it down" to it, to me that's more what dream's all about

i still think the songwriting on that is pretty weak, but yeah this is a pretty overt stylistic exercise

ima keep it real witchu baby you bayyyyad

Dreamer's been releasing a lot of music that perks my ears lately, but for as good as all of these songs sound, not one of them has been anywhere near classic. It's really frustrating; it feels like his gift is still there, but he just can't close the deal anymore.

that's not a pattern that genius producers have historically fallen into at all!
