r&b trend poll

and also we're conflating vocoders w/ autotune

see "Livin A Lie" to me is just straight up R&B

its a straight 4 on the floor beat too. how are you defining 'house&b'?

xp lol that just came on as I read your post, "Mama"...this song sucks

that song is great

lol I don't know what the fuck house&b is!!! but house is definitely faster than "Livin A Lie" i think? also less song-y

i know it sounds like im just trying to disagree with everything you say but really you are just wrong about everything

some stuff:
07 FRIENDS WITH BENEFETS P. DOT-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds_MdM9B8U0 pretty good vanilla ballad, twinkling bells like that keys song
08 BOOTY MUSIC GIT FRESH-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shTwWGNpOuI this one is really really really good i should have posted this earlier, it's got like vocoder, fatman scoop yelling drops, lush-electro verses, all over the place and great

also that colby o donnis song for lush-electro i think

I don't like songs that are about things

where do you find this stuff.

he's on the internet 24/7 so what else is he gonna do?

zing-a-ling

I don't know what the fuck house&b is!!!

Fast r&b with 4-to-the-floor machine-beats. Not that hard, fella.

hahaha yeah it's hard when your homework involves a computer

yeah yeah we zingin over here

Fast r&b with 4-to-the-floor machine-beats. Not that hard, fella.

exactly. FAST. livin a lie = slow

zing zing gettin' sonnied over here

lol

livin a lie is more trance&b to me

HERE ARE MY SECRETS:

when i'm not at home (in miami) to listen to the radio i just check this chart http://www.power96.com/index.php?page=42 and youtube the stuff i've never heard

I'm sittin here trying to read michael schudson...all this fragmentation of markets and r&b is getting me riled up

if grind mode/ball greezy weren't just starting to get mad spins when i was home for winter break i prolly wouldn't have heard them until much later

so it's mostly local stuff then.

ny's local scene is so lame.

yeah thankfully there are djs here who don't shy away from spinning local shit even if it isn't as popular as chris brown or whatever

is "no air" just a vanilla ballad?

man i really love this mario/polow song

it's a power-ballad

"fragmentation of markets" is a total misnomer, though. The same people are listening to all this stuff, and it's certainly all in conversation with each other.

which one? crying out for me?

that was about my journalism reading, not this thread lol

hey guys, this is a really interesting thread!!!!!

which one? crying out for me?

yeah

I'm actually kind of surprised the r&b power-ballad didn't become more of a trend in the wake of "Umbrella".

tape store you should read that estelle thread though its kinda confusing

livin a lie is more trance&b to me

HAHAHAHA you have no idea how good you have it

me too, "no air" and tiffany evans "i'm grown" are the only songs that sound post-"umbrella" to me

um, those MASSIVE SYNTHS maybe.

deej stop being a dick

i'm tired of lame mixtape rappers who all sound like uncle murda & papoose.

rapping over boring sub-heatmakerz beats.

i think tape store was being genuine anyway

deej stop being a dick

i was only being a dick to tape store, your zings were just for lols

har&bdman deej

nah i was just talkin about the tape store and matrix things, zings =/ being a dick

if I'd have to choose I'd say "Livin A Lie" leans toward house only because when I think of the trance stuff I think more euphoric, epic

anyway more importantly @ brainwasher - there are plenty of synths like that in house music! that beat is totally house

yeah preview otm actually

i'm tired of lame mixtape rappers who all sound like uncle murda & papoose.
