"show me" is better but i always thought "don't tell em" was being underrated -- i think jeremih shines thru that song anyway once you can divorce it from "show me"/mustardwave in general

i've come around to "don't tell 'em" and rather like it now. maybe i'm just pleased to see that a song in 2014 has finally legitimately crossed over from being a big hit on hip-hop radio to becoming the same on pop.

"Don't Tell Em" is tied w/ "Rack City" for highest charting Mustard song, history will forget "Show Me," y'all lost
― Raccoon Newsy Wewsies (some dude), Monday, 13 October 2014 16:50 (nine years ago) link
also i was never really bothered by "don't tell em"'s similarity to "show me" bcuz jeremih was originally supposed to have "show me" so i can't fault dude for trying to get his slice
― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Monday, 13 October 2014 16:53 (nine years ago) link
but ppl like kev or whoever lamenting that "don't tell em" isn't jeremih enough shows the blind spots of auteur fetishization imo
― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Monday, 13 October 2014 16:54 (nine years ago) link
Jeremih's voice is more valuable than his aesthetic -- he has deep cuts with a distinctive sensibility but when he makes a hit it's just a cool hit song with Jeremih's cool voice on it and the shape it takes doesn't really matter
― Raccoon Newsy Wewsies (some dude), Monday, 13 October 2014 16:56 (nine years ago) link
imo denigrating "auteur fetishists" can be useful in a rockist context when people are putting britney spears down or whoever and there are some problematic racial/sexist implications, but me pining for the jeremih of old is hardly the same thing
― k3vin k., Monday, 13 October 2014 17:02 (nine years ago) link
i mean i just thought it was a lame song and preferred the kind of career jeremih used to have and his old style. i understand him having to hop on trends tho (and obv his career was built on biting dudes like the-dream anyway, so..)
― k3vin k., Monday, 13 October 2014 17:04 (nine years ago) link
but anyway i've come around on the song a bit, i think it's a respectable 6/10 joint, but it's obviously more of a mustard (who i'm ambivalent about) vehicle than a jeremih one. there's not a lot of technical or emotional range; it's a limited song
― k3vin k., Monday, 13 October 2014 17:05 (nine years ago) link
yeah it's fine but what stops me getting excited isn't so much where it fits into jeremih's career as where it fits into mustard's; it's a mustard vehicle that isn't even in the top tier of mustard 2014 singles
― lex pretend, Monday, 13 October 2014 17:27 (nine years ago) link
i don't think it's much to get excited about as a song itself but as an agent to get his album matriculating i feel pretty good about it
― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Monday, 13 October 2014 17:33 (nine years ago) link
which perhaps is an objectionable way of looking at the song but such are the economic realities of popular r&b in 2014

guest rappers being the worst thing about any R&B album just feels like a given now, i pretty much ignore them. either it's someone terrible or someone good phoning it in.

This is straight out of an Onion article about Joe Biden:
Jeremih and his touring entourage are reportedly under investigation by police for causing $700 worth of damage to a Fuddrucker's restaurant in Billings, Mont., on Nov. 5. Police claim the singer's crew threw beer bottles when a manager intervened after a 17-year-old female employee complained about the group flirting with her. Charges haven't been filed, but a local radio station, KRSQ, is banning Jeremih's records. The singer didn't respond to Billboard's requests for comment after the accusations, but on Twitter he blamed the "unfortunate incident" on racism.

Not sure if I buy the "reclusive" angle—he's not, really—or that any of this rises that far beyond normal A&R disorganization. Interesting to learn he's probably to blame for not having a video though; lotta people wonder about that one

buried the lede here:

A couple publications are saying Late Nights is scheduled to come out Friday, but they aren't sourcing where they got that date from

when i saw he had released another single i was like "at this point i think that's enough singles to be an album"

This one sounds closest to something from Late Nights: The Mixtape. Not a bad thing

"Oui" sounds great on the radio but "Pass Dat" is incredible and really sets my expectations high for this album

"pass dat" wasn't on the tracklist they released so i guess that's not a thing anymore

easily one of the best albums i've heard this year
if you took out "give no fuks"/"feel like phil"/"royalty" and cut the tracklist down to 12 songs i would consider this a nearly perfect record. every other song ranges from good to incredible.

― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 8 December 2015 07:23 (eight years ago) link
thinking this is ultimately p good (unexpectedly so from my pov) with fitful lucid periods of inspiration. would have liked to go higher cos u can see almost touch a special album, or what a special album would be like, thru the party smoke but even with rejigging i think it might still just come up a couple songs short. a wonderful extendo ep for sure however
probably that's the cup half empty view idk. give it a few weeks
obv agree that the rap karaoke bloc (lol is thugger too pricey now or was jer like fuckit yo i got this) carries the blame with big sean saboteur in chief, constant low key struggle to fully recover its thread after that
