that's not too bad
last weekend i got requests for "low", "one country song cuz i really wanna get with this girl", "no more rihanna [ppl who don't want to dance to 'don't stop the music'= mental banhammer]", "journey", "my name is jonas" and, my personal favorite, "lemme just scroll through your ipod real quick"

o i was wondering why no one was repping 'all that money' on that dro thread, why u gotta run over here sarge
song is glorious anyway. i was always gonna like it as a trend but it's really great how rappers seem to be hitting exactly the right summer wistful/cynical note with it most times
(also "on some top 3 singles of the year" strikes me as a completely weird personal barometer but nm)
― r|t|c, Saturday, 23 February 2008 23:39 (sixteen years ago) link
the thought "this might end up being one of my 3 favorite singles of they year" entered into my head idk. is that dro on the hook? no right? i wish though that would be awesome. i guess it reminds me most of 'sensual seduction' in terms of feel, minus the whole t-pain business.
i didn't rep for it on that thread bcuz that thread is embarrassing and i didn't want to bump it
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 23 February 2008 23:46 (sixteen years ago) link
i thought the mixtape was just aight but people are really talking it up so i'm gonna listen to it a few more times
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 23 February 2008 23:47 (sixteen years ago) link
if he releases it as a single i'd be shocked if it didn't make it into the top 10 of the hot 100

the webbie's out (havent heard properly)(haha jordan otm ages ago about how impossible it is to spell out 'independent' tho) but i'm not sure either will be better than gucci mane's for what that's worth. (not all that much tbh.)

some parts of this Carter III preview have me pretty excited, like "Wayne's singing isn't just a run through the T-Wayne ProTools patch, it's chopped up and layered over itself in a dense, alien collage" and 'Hollowed-out and bleepy."

on that fabo/juelz song that was making the rounds a couple of weeks ago i thought he sounded like dying jeff conway from celebrity rehab but i guess sounding like he's dying would be his goal wouldn't it
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 24 February 2008 00:44 (sixteen years ago) link
forgot to say i'm sure that is dro singing on that tune, would kinda destroy the whole thing for me in my mind if it wasnt.
― r|t|c, Sunday, 24 February 2008 00:50 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i really hope it is but i couldn't tell bcuz whoever it is is singing so softly

RS: Are you still working on your album? T.I.: Absolutely. It’s called Paper Trail. It’s going great.
RS: How many tracks do you have done already? T.I.: I’ve got about thirty-some tracks done, but I’ve got like sixteen that I’m in love with and I’m still working. After you get those sixteen, you try to make sixteen more to top them and you pick the best.
RS: Who have you been working with? T.I.: I’ve got records with Danja, I’ve got one record so far from DJ Toomp. I’ve got records from Little C and Keith Mack from Grand Hustle Productions, and records from J.R. Rotem and Jay Rock. Quite a few people.
RS: Do you have a sense yet of how this album is going to be different from the last one? T.I.: I don’t know if I can put into words how it will be different from the last album, but I know you’ll definitely be able to tell the difference. The people who I’ve played it for, they say it reminds them a lot of the earlier albums I’m Serious and Trap Muzik. It’s called Paper Trail because for the first time since my very first album, I’m actually writing the lyrics down, pen and pad, old school style. I used to just listen to the music and go in the booth and rap. And now that I’m writing things down, I think it’s a little more eloquent.
RS: What made you decide to start doing that? T.I.: People were saying how they missed the old sound, they missed that I’m Serious T.I., so I figured that I would try to tap into that element.

honestly if Toomp's work on the Jay and Kanye albums is representative of what he's doing now maybe T.I. doesn't need his beats that bad.
― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 25 February 2008 21:45 (sixteen years ago) link
^^ true!

the rest of the dudes on the song have this offputting vibe like they like girls with their shit together SOLELY because they don't have to do shit for them, but then boosie shows up with this genuine beavis-y excitement of being out somewhere and getting in with a bunch of 30 y/o women all dolled up on girls night or whatever!! it's great.
