NE-YO v THE DREAM

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"

is the whole album floating out there or just a couple tracks?

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.

def jam website has shit all screwed up iirc - amazon says march 24 for electrik red

maild u

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.

really love the singer's voice

Isn't it four of them? Or is it a Pussycat Dolls style solo + back-up arrangement?

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

i never understand how ppl thought 'i luv your girl' could be a standout -- its the most generic-y / boring joint on the album

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.

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.

havent we all moved on to ryan leslie now anyway

RL isn't an ilm obsession, he's just getting the afterglow of the Cassie ilm obsession

i think hes a 'grower' -- tho not the-dream level -- but maybe im wrong

i mean grower in terms of ilx fanbase/respect not like corny 'this album is a grower' fauxcrit

hayyyyy kanye/the-dream joint leaked

fauxhawk

do not hesitate to post link deej

^this is my track review

this sounds like 'forever' by cb (RIP)

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

this song is so serious

it's so gleaming

can't imagine any other rapper besides kanye being on this too... he's kinda cornered this market

yo this song is a jam

This sounds like that O'Neal McKnight song. Dope tho.

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.

"walking on the moon" is nice but I'm really feeling "sweat it out" which is some classic kells shit

"call leticia your beautician" lol

"thank you for the birthday cake"

Yeah that's it exactly - fwiw I like both a lot too

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.

haha i was thinking that too

I am in brussels but would love to be feeling this thing, is it sad that the CB connection is making me excited for my flight?

electrik red album out mar 24 according to def jam's website

man the noises The-Dream makes in the background on Jamie Foxx's "Just Like Me" are hilarious

maybe we should talk about this after I pound you

...

lol
