NE-YO v THE DREAM

^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

last line of kanye's verse on "walking on the moon"

is it?

lol waht

look at you
lookin' like a milkshake

its not his very last line

lol

every time this gets bumped i immediately think the record has leaked

bump

so mean.

jordan otm

4.5 stars in rolling stone

lol lex

anyway surprised this hasn't leaked... it will premiere on his myspace later on today... I think I'll just wait until Tuesday.

Rolling Stone review has me excited for "Fancy"

yeah i think at this point i can wait until tuesday - if it doesn't leak until the weekend someone at def jam should get a raise

tho honestly I'm kind of underwhelmed/disappointed with everything I've heard so far besides "Sweat It Out" and "Lemme See The Booty" (wanna hear the finished version of "Right Side of My Brain", the demo is good). Not that "My Love," etc. are bad - they're definitely not - it's just I was expecting more since I love the first record so much... this Dream knock-off song >>>> LvM so far:

despite amazon actually listing a uk release date for next week, terius' pr insists there isn't one. UGH this country

it seems like they just want you to illegally DL all rap + r&b over here

i have procured this - i'm going to listen to it once so i don't go crazy then im just gonna buy it on tues and go into hibernation

wow. 4.5 stars in RS. that's a good look for T-D

kinda shocking, too. when's the last time they gave a score like that to an R&B act, much less a non-superstar R&B act?

no idea? besides geezer shit, they've given ratings like that too... wayne? mia? who else

now he'll be in that little box next to like neko case and bruce springsteen "stuff you should be listening to" or whatever

oh i forgot about C3...still that's a big leap from Wayne to The-Dream in terms of fame/profile

xpost

yeah i know, i'm just trying to think of anything that could be considered modern rap or r&b

yeah it was a good example to bring up

and on top of it, the wayne one was a long time coming from them cuz they had been writing features about him like every two months waiting for the album to drop

i mean they gave KING 1 1/2 star or something - this is very odd and kind of heartening tbh
