or maybe i'm projecting but i guess i always sort of felt like we were on this wild ride with terius, like it was so hilarious & crazy that he turned into a radio star that i wasn't even really surprised when it dried up. terius felt to me like an autuer who happened to trickle up in a weird flash, but miguel feels like a career radio artist who just happens to be sneaking really good, cool shit into his songs.

hey everybody, aren't you excited about the OFFICIAL remix of "Adorn" featuring Wiz Khalifa? no? wait, where are you going?
― Cap'n Hug-a-Thug (The Reverend), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 02:50 (eleven years ago) link
i think that's just a freestyle that they tacked onto the album since it already existed
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 02:51 (eleven years ago) link
haha i posted that itt the other day
a LOT of 'official remixes' these days start out as some big star doing a freestyle and then the orig. artist's label goes and decides to put their cosign on it

lol @ the headphones scene for that moment in the song, kind of perfect

For whatever it's worth, the internet tells me that's his real life girlfriend Nazanin Mandi.

mm, maybe for a garden gnome
is 'do you' the official next single then? sounded like a smash to me but i wondered if they'd edit out druuuugs and more importantly how exactly. anyone heard it in the wild?
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 21:37 (eleven years ago) link
It'll be fascinating watching "Do You" climb the R&B chart
― the ones that I'm near most: fellow outcasts and ilxors (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 21:39 (eleven years ago) link
i think it's always been planned as the follow up to "adorn" and i guess they're going through with that
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 21:45 (eleven years ago) link

single version on spotify goes "do you like looooove"
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
it reasons that's why they changed the name from "drugs" to "do you..."
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 21:51 (eleven years ago) link
OK, so it's a quite a weird track that way, right? I really like it a lot, but find myself thinking in pretty open-ended ways about the sentiment, and the way it's phrased.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
well it's a pun, it starts out with "do you like drugs" like a question and then at the end adds "i'm gonna do you like drugs tonight"
― la goonies (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 22:14 (eleven years ago) link
so does he say "i'm gonna do you like love tonight"? need to listen to that single edit

i think it's a pretty nice accomplishment, actually

yeah its cool.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Thursday, 4 October 2012 05:28 (eleven years ago) link
i sort of said this before but it's nice to see him rewarded for his reverse-crossover attempt while still being able to grow his core fanbase. a pretty rare feat.
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 4 October 2012 05:32 (eleven years ago) link
Indeed.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Thursday, 4 October 2012 05:33 (eleven years ago) link

If the Gibbs tape is an 8.2, this is a 9.4 though.

weird quote from that: 'a wonderfully considered album from an artist who was starting to seem a lot like a forgotten gem in the wake of mishandled promotion.'
wasn't Sure Thing a huge huge hit r&b chart hit? do they just mean 'indie people weren't listening until now' ?
― Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 4 October 2012 13:53 (eleven years ago) link
his first album could be considered a commercial triumph or totally under the radar depending on what lens you're viewing it through, but yeah that way of phrasing it was pretty false.
― jaz a make wardance (some dude), Thursday, 4 October 2012 13:55 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that's what i mean, the lens of 'what people in brooklyn/portland are listening to' is pretty reductive
― Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 4 October 2012 14:14 (eleven years ago) link
well it could also be viewed as unsuccessful through the lens of "doesn't sell as much/cross over to pop radio as much as Usher or Chris Brown"
― jaz a make wardance (some dude), Thursday, 4 October 2012 14:16 (eleven years ago) link
The demographics at his Howard Theatre show in DC seemed like 99% African-American (and mostly women) which is reflective of that prior inability to crossover to pop or indie
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 4 October 2012 14:39 (eleven years ago) link
are they not a pop audience?
― Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 4 October 2012 14:50 (eleven years ago) link
is this really the 2nd time this week on this board that i have to explain "pop as genre vs. pop as in 'popular'"
― jaz a make wardance (some dude), Thursday, 4 October 2012 14:59 (eleven years ago) link
Except that isn't what he was saying.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 4 October 2012 15:08 (eleven years ago) link
i introduced the 'pop crossover' subject to the conversation, curmudgeon continued it understanding what i meant, and jamie responded to it seemingly not understanding what i meant.
