Finally, we'll have a more expanded story on Trey Songz on Tuesday, but for today, we had to bring the origins on his now-signature "Yuuuggghhh!" ad lib. You've heard it on his songs and you've heard it on records he's not even on, like Drake's "Best I Ever Had." Where did it come from?
"It just came about," he said recently in his new hometown of Atlanta. "I'm a fool, really, in the studio. I said it on one record. I don't remember what record it was on first. Then I started going places and people would do it. That's when I knew it was something that was catching on. Now I gotta do it on every song."
^^ wtf are they even talking about

true dat, double true
i don't know how, but somehow i wasn't even aware trey EXISTED until this year
― ILL WITH THE COMPOSITION (Beatrix Kiddo), Thursday, 16 July 2009 15:29 (fifteen years ago) link
you weren't really missing anything until now, he's been kind of lame minus a couple of songs
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 16 July 2009 15:32 (fifteen years ago) link

ok i figured out what this is referring to but i always just thought he was saying "yup" in a really obnoxious way.
― ringtone lizard (some dude), Wednesday, 12 August 2009 13:19 (fifteen years ago) link
he is saying yuup
― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 12 August 2009 13:52 (fifteen years ago) link
he should have told MTV that when they interviewed him and spelled "yup" with three G's and three H's.

trey songz really has a signature ad-lib?
― heave pho (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 12 August 2009 18:27 (fifteen years ago) link
it's not even really an ad lib, it's more of a throat-clearing sound effect like when jadakiss cackles
"lol :)" is super catchy, i don't really feel like i can resist it getting stuck in my head no matter what i actually think of the song
― ringtone lizard (some dude), Wednesday, 12 August 2009 18:29 (fifteen years ago) link
i mean for as "dumb" as it is, it's a good hook and a pretty smart song to make
― heave pho (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 12 August 2009 18:32 (fifteen years ago) link
i feel like when you call a song "smart" what you really mean is pandering
― ringtone lizard (some dude), Wednesday, 12 August 2009 19:01 (fifteen years ago) link
sure, yeah, but i also mean that it's a song "about" twitter that's not all FOLLOW ME TWITTER TWEET TWEET or w/e that would make people just go "ugh" - instead it uses "twitpic" in a rhyme for a catchy chorus so in essence it's a good little song that feels a bit more "of the moment" and thusly will probably be more successful in the short term than it might have been otherwise
― heave pho (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 12 August 2009 19:06 (fifteen years ago) link
also it's a good song i think because of that little part after he repeats "lol smiley face" - great melody there
― heave pho (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 12 August 2009 19:18 (fifteen years ago) link
if you're saying it's not quite as desperate as the Mistah F.A.B. song then yeah
and yeah that melody at the end of the chorus is definitely what makes the song

my favorite bit is in the beginning, where they splice in 'soulja boy tell'em' and 'gucci!' over the chorus
― a being that goes on two legs and is ungrateful (dyao), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 08:52 (fifteen years ago) link
maybe I'll make this my ringtone
i know complaining about soulja boy's rapping makes me a nas stan and all but man he really kinda ruins the song. simple dumb raps can be fun but just repeating the title 8 times, rhyming "blackberry" with "halle berry" and then splitting is just annoying.
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 13:24 (fifteen years ago) link
the worst part about that verse is claiming that Halle Berry is thick

it might be kinda a regional thing, but it feels we get way more f/ ray j joints than f/ mmts on the radio here

dang didn't even know he had a new album. I'm five tracks in & it feels pretty lifeless :/

do you like that song, Evan?
― flopson, Friday, 21 April 2017 20:25 (seven years ago) link
Yeah it's sweet and breezy, though as a lead single it's kinda underwhelming. I know this board/people in general rip on A&R interference, but I'm kinda shocked his label let him release this album. So much B material, and it kills whatever commercial momentum the guy had
― Evan R, Friday, 21 April 2017 20:35 (seven years ago) link
I guess I'd rather hear the guy make a very low key R&B album than go full Derulo but still
