Rolling R&B Thread 2008

lmao @ lloyd's hairstyles in the all around the world video

idk what brings more lolz, the perm or the long, straight hair (weave?)

cool vid tho

I think that's his real hair

dude is hella gay though, i mean for real

lol @ caring about a video in 2008 but i they had a cool aesthetic and the way they did the girls looked pretty tite so i wish they woulda done something else besides stand in front of a green screen but w/e

lloyd??

maybe that's why him and wayne love working together!

"working"

lloyd's got some competition from bobby v then tho

lol yeah

I like the video though, it's a cool concept.. I thought they would do a throwback type thing but they flipped it and went for futurism

though the shiny glaring eyes thing was kind of annoying

"sandcastle disco" is reaching summer jam status

this name>this song, but i saw a vid for another song? is this not a single

speaking of great videos, solange's new video for "i decided" is like WHOA

yeah "I decided," I think "sandcastle disco" is the second single

she is so much more interesting and creative than beyonce

i put the vid on to hear the song and then i clicked back over to watch a lil and the first thing i saw was a a dude getting fire hosed in front of a confederate flag o_O

beyonce's kind of a douche

this song's kind of a jam and solange seems genuinely fun!

i have been hassling the uk geffen pr house about solange, they still haven't made up their minds about launching her here but the 'sandcastle disco' chorus seriously must not go to waste

'sandcastle disco' > 'champagnechronicnightcap' > 'i decided' but they're all stellar really. unlike the awful freemasons rmx of 'i decided' which fits the og with lead boots and surgically removes the nimbleness and fun

ok so this keri hilson single is basically awesome

yes, the key to "sandcastle disco" rests in the chorus (also the drums)

Cherish's "Amnesia" is really boring but the bridge is gorgeous.

^^new ll/dream. it's aight, might be a grower cuz the beat's not bad and the hook's repetitive as shit but the raps are hell of zzz

oo

i assume you've talked about 'girls all around the world' already? clicked with me a couple of weeks ago in the sun, just gorgeous

yeah I love it... especially that part near the end where she sings "you're kiillling meeeeee... taaakin over meeee" and the massive synths go into overdrive. Nice song.

Cherish's "Amnesia" is really boring but the bridge is gorgeous.

Yeah the bridge is wonderful, actually I really like the entire song... as I said, it reminds me of Writings on the Wall-era Destiny's Child.

yeah we've talked about it a bit... total jam.

also Keyshia Cole's "Heavent Sent" = her 3rd #1 R&B single from this album. amazing song.

ay ya ya the ryan leslie solo song. probably a good song but we really really shouldn't be performing.

Sandcastle Disco is really working for me. I'm still really upset that I like Tyra B's Rush so much. Also...Ashanti's 'The Way That I Love You' Its not right but its okay.

so Solange Knowles is a big deal but not the new Missy? I thought that Cassie joint was the coming out party for danja around here...or is this too mundane/typical party vibe

or is it just not actually r&b...

coming out party for Danja? didn't that happen in like 06 or something?

yeah obv but in the rolling r&b universe i meant

you know the one, where people care about cassie

at least he's not polow da don, that dude should go away now....i used to ride for him but he's just gone now

you know the one, where people care about cassie

You must be looking for Cassie's Fan Club

You must be looking for Cassie's Fan Club
Thanks!

the fan club is not just limited to that thread, though: STEP UP 2 THE STREETS SOUNDTRACK POLL

OHMYGOD. I JUST saw the video for Chris Brown and Jordin Sparks 'No Air' and I was actually holding my breath. Its GORGEOUS. The tension is beautifully excrutiating in the vid and the song, I can't believe I've never heard the song before, its made my life. Or at the very least, my day.

Lee Carr's "Stilettos" is my jam right now, nice to hear Los Da Mystro work with someone less annoying than The-Dream.

yeah good song

it's so repetitive though.

well I won't figure that out or be bothered by it until I start hearing it outside of 90-second mix show snippets.

lovin u long time T.I. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEMIX

http://www.zshare.net/audio/13779986d1e85cf5/

can we amend the constitution so that t.i. raps on at least 3 r&b songs a year

synthpop-tastic new john legend song:

youtube sensation phatfffat/dondria nicole's debut single sounding like solange "i decided" a little bit:

http://www.zshare.net/audio/1374013983359c19/

Raheem DeVaughn's myspace has his new single "Text Messages," which he called into one of the local D.C. stations to debut today, and said is going to be on a re-release of his album. it's not bad, although it kinda feels like he realized he could write R. Kelly songs after R. showed up on that "Customer" remix and said "this song reminds me of something I would do." the page also has Raheem's remix of "Flashing Lights," which is pretty good.

i like that jay sean maybe song a lot.

too bad about that T.I. remix

the maybe one i mean. the rest of the album is just o-k.

i like the ne-yo closer single a lot too.
