wow @ the energy you guys can expend talking about this guy. i actually kinda like the album now but serious: do any of you have any reservations about his singing, or disliked his voice at first before getting used to it? because i don't think i'll ever completely enjoy his music for that reason.

Just realized Dream references "I'm a Flirt" in "I Luv Your Girl" w/ the "Kelly told y'all don't bring em up the club" line. Was about to defend the similarities of the two songs by saying ILYG must have been recorded by the time Double Up dropped but it looks like it was definitely on Dream's mind during the writing process. Makes sense now that I see Double Up came out in January of '07 and Love/Hate in December of the same year.

I very much did, but I've gotten used to his voice and it no longer bothers me.
Double Up didn't come out til that June or so, but that's still plenty of time, especially since "I'm a Flirt" was floating around months earlier.

It just occured to me that I hadn't even heard "Rockin' That Shit" so I am listening to it for the first time now. Sounds dope.

BTW I have belatedly become obsessed with Electrik Red's "So Good". It really is!

tim have you heard "we fuck you"
― big fatass rick ross (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 15 February 2009 09:14 (fifteen years ago) link
is the whole album floating out there or just a couple tracks?
― Plaxico (I know, right?), Sunday, 15 February 2009 09:35 (fifteen years ago) link
just a few afaik... they might've even had an ep but all i've been able to find are "we fuck you" and "drink in my cup" and then more recently "so good"

def jam website says the album came out last year, doesn't seem to be actually true though.

re "we fuck you":
Yes, though for the first time earlier today (following up on "So Good" love). I'm impressed by the alien synth-bass burbles but I don't know if the song itself works. I like the idea of it I guess. Need to listen more.
― Tim F, Sunday, 15 February 2009 10:34 (fifteen years ago) link
really love the singer's voice
― Plaxico (I know, right?), Sunday, 15 February 2009 10:38 (fifteen years ago) link
Isn't it four of them? Or is it a Pussycat Dolls style solo + back-up arrangement?
― Tim F, Sunday, 15 February 2009 10:48 (fifteen years ago) link
No actually you're right, I'm thinking of the singer on Freaky Freaky/So Good, they definitely seem to hand it around a lot more than PCD
― Plaxico (I know, right?), Sunday, 15 February 2009 10:51 (fifteen years ago) link
i never understand how ppl thought 'i luv your girl' could be a standout -- its the most generic-y / boring joint on the album

oh i know the album was a total sleeper hit that accrued buzz over a pretty long period of time...but i thought that was more of a gradual word-of-mouth thing, not people all hearing it when it was released and having to slowly get used to the squeak-toy vocals.

only reservation is im not sure this is gonna make folks feel better who agreed w/ tim's criticism about 'rockin that shit' -- i just hope there are some subtle & more intricately written ballads like 'purple kisses' & 'luv songs' on the lp
man this is earnest as shit -- i guess hes decided to step up in the wake of chrisbrowngate

By "tim's criticism" do you mean that it's more universal/generic than his first album stuff, Deej?
I should note that this doesn't at all bother me w/r/t "Rockin' That Shit/Thing", though yeah it'd be a cause for concern if the entire album was like that.

not into "Walking On The Moon" but "Sweat It Out" is good -- lol it's like the whole song was written to cater to Tim's fetish for messing-up-hair lyrics.
