I think the two "Love vs. Money" tracks in the middle of the album are my favorite things he's done, period.

Yeah, I see "Mr. Yeah" as a kind of extension of the stuff that comes right before it. He's saying that he's basically going to be the dependable nice guy that (presumably) took his girl while he was making it rain in the first part! Which we kind of know, um, probably isn't true. The whole sensitive thing is a front -- "can we fuck now?" right into weird atonal whatever the hell that is elastic beat in "Kelly's 12 Play."

Re the melancholy bit of "Mr Yeah", I adore the sad piano that underscores the last few "you can always come around" refrains.

lol i cant write right now but daaaamn
151,000
i wish def jam would give him the budget to put on a 'glow in the dark' style tour w/ a live orchestra and shit. i would go to like 5 shows
its great how in "fancy" he gets taunted by these chants that are like hooks from slim thug songs— "all all we do is, we spend this money"

#2. not bad the-dream!
Ah, actually buying this at Target so I could listen to it on the way home/scan the picture MADE A DIFFERENCE! (In the digital age, my new music purchases are basically limited to CD-Baby-level obscurity and stuff I can buy on the way to the checkout line at the supermarket.)
― dabug, Thursday, 19 March 2009 19:07 (fifteen years ago) link
PS $9.98, check yr local stores.
― dabug, Thursday, 19 March 2009 19:08 (fifteen years ago) link
I love the fact that you bought this at least 50% so you could Scan the Picture.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 19 March 2009 20:44 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh, I'd only call it 30%.
― dabug, Friday, 20 March 2009 01:52 (fifteen years ago) link
i bought the Kelly and downloaded the The-Dream. i made a difference the other way!
― hahaha sorry all you music-hippies (some dude), Friday, 20 March 2009 02:10 (fifteen years ago) link
I downloaded the The-Dream and didn't bother with the Kelly. I made no difference whatsoever!

― strøm thurmond (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 23:39 (fifteen years ago) link
"take u home 2 my mama" is secretly one of the best songs on the album - maybe the most out and out fun song he's ever done and also it's got the great transition into "love vs money"

The part in "Kelly's 12 Play" where he does those R. Kelly "OHHH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OHOHHHH" vocal runs = A+

I'm talking about the part where he sings the title over and over.

The melodic contour on the first set rises, while on the second it goes up and down. Fitting, in it's way.
