so are we just gonna pretend that the synth melody isn't exactly like the one from "Low"???

well, now that you've removed from the scales from our eyes, we can hardly go on ignoring the truth.

xpost? I'm kinda glad he's coming with something like this first. It shows that he's at least confident about the rest of the album, enough to risk releasing this thing and all the ridicule that may come with it. Better some huge club pop hit than something that would inevitably flop like "Gossip" and cause the album to suffer the same fate as Hell Hath No Fury...i mean that is unless you don't really care about those things in which case it would have been better to just not record "Lollipop" in the first place...

I dunno, I've gotten the sense from interviews that less than "confident" dude is sorta scattershot about his marketing.

hey Alex in Laureltimore what's the word on shows happening tonight. i saw a flyer on the ground that said the lox @ club one?? must have been old cuz i cant find anything on it online

I dunno, that's news to me! but Styles P. just played a solo show at some little club in Dundalk 3 weeks ago, I almost went but flaked, and I heard later that he was there but there wasn't much of an audience. I dunno why D-Block would come down to Baltimore to play an underpromoted show, but if they did it once they'd probably do it again. I've never been in Club One, though, doesn't that shit have a dress code?

it might be but my point is that 'fireman' and 'go dj' were both pretty successful-- both in the top 40 go dj in the top 20 if im not mistaken-- and they really make no concessions for pop radio and they arent songs you know you're gonna skip on the album (both are highlights even) and i can't imgaine myself listening to 'lollipop' more than twice if carter III ever drops

Big Boi’s Ambitious Ballet

First Harlem rapper Cam'Ron proclaimed his love for Curb Your Enthusiasm, now this: Late next month, Washington, D.C. up-and-comer Wale plans to release The Mixtape About Nothing, an entire set of hip-hop cuts inspired by Seinfeld. (Check out a preview of the mixtape's cover art at left.) "I think I've seen every episode, like, 30 times," Wale said when EW.com called him at the NYC studio of producer Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen) yesterday. Wale says he's particularly partial to the show's controversial 1997-98 swan song. "The last season is very underrated. A lot of Seinfeld fans be like, 'Oh, the last season is so over-the-top.' I'm like, it's about reinventing!"
Wale played us an early snippet of a song called "Hype" over the phone. The meditation on celebrity opens with a lengthy sample from one of Jerry Seinfeld's Season 7 stand-up monologues: "I love it when people are complimented on something they're wearing, and they accept the compliment as if it was about them..." Wale also exclusively revealed to EW.com that his team recently convinced Seinfeld alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus to record a brief skit (or "drop") for the mixtape. "She’s not [in character as] Elaine — she’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus," explains Wale, who hasn't had a chance to hear the skit yet. "It's something crazy, something comical." (Louis-Dreyfus' reps did not reply to requests for comment.) No word yet on whether Wale's tunes inspired the actress to break into that notorious "Elaine dance"...

Wale can flow and it's nice to see someone repping D.C. in a kind of big way, but the fact that he just signed a deal w/ Mark Ronson's label probably dooms his album to be insufferably corny.

man how goofy is it that there's now as many weeks of ramp-up hype and teasers for mixtapes as there used to be for rap albums (before those started going to the months/years hype cycle).
