Best Song on Diddy - Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris"

otm

the greatest compliment i can pay this album is that it manages to elevate a straight grocery bag verse from justin timberlake into something transcendent

lol i skip "shades" and "angels" and end the album at "change" and it's perfect

the greatest compliment i can pay this album is that it manages to elevate a straight grocery bag verse from justin timberlake into something transcendent

that verse is so amazing. i mean a huge part of it is the humour though, timberlake sounds like he's taking the piss out of grocery bags because we all know grocery bags are terrible, right? and the song's entire persona is this superstar who's kind of awkward on a human level

i mean every JT grocery bag just makes me burst out laughing

Yes but I don't think he's laughing.

i think he's being intentionally ridiculous

like i don't think even JT thinks "we can press rewind, press rewind...VHS" is a properly great line (but it's still amazing)

Well I don't think he thinks it's artistry, but I think he's taking the piss out of grocery bagging either.

Somewhere in between: I think he recognises that grocery bagging is just ridiculous enough that he too can play that game.

don't think he's taking... I mean.

yeah i'd agree w/that

I do agree (or at least I think this is what you're getting at) that there's a difference there which means that you don't feel like he's trying to pass off grocery bagging as great rapping, which then makes it easier to love for its ridiculousness.

minor thing but do y'all read the lyric "I hate that you love me / so much, boy" as "I hate so much that you love me" or "I hate that you love me so much"

the latter but kinda both

no the former! look at the title of the song - it's clearly meant to be a little of the latter too as well tho

Yeah I think it's both.

mostly former

how many Dirty Money tracks and/or official remixes are there now that aren't on any form of the album or the LoveLOVE mixtape?

Love Come Down and Love Come Down Remix ft/ Fabolous & co.,
Hello Good Morning Remix ft/ Rick Ross and Nicki
First Place Loser
Tomorrow Tonight ft/ Ludacris
No Ordinary Love

don't forget "I Want Your Love"!

"They Don't Love Me" f/ Terius (nb. this song is terrible)
"Loving You No More (Remix)" f/ Busta & Drake (euuuuugh)

you got me

standing on the verge

album is somehow even better than it was in december

i want to throw a party for this album's birthday or something

y'all are gonna see ship walking around baltimore pushing a double stroller with his son in the front & a copy of this album in the back

lol

instead of buying his son a CD he will buy his CD of LTTP a doll

dress up my Dirty Money CD and my Sade CD as man and wife and have tea time

of = a

xp

there's not a single remotely poor song on this tbh

i could live without 'loving you no more' i guess but i don't mind it

drake aside i think "loving you no more" is really dope, was my fav hit off the album until "your love"

I always stop it b4 that song

"loving you no more" completely rescued by SO MANY TEARS I CRIED

meanwhile i could really do without "change" but its context in the deluxe edition ("i know"/"loving you no more" / "coming home") totally elevates it. it is sort of the bottom of the record, the whisper of a completely gone thing.

also haha i used to dislike "your love" but oh how i was the most wrong

that coda

Love Come Down is shockingly great. I don't know why I never had it before.

but if what if we aint never touched drops

"Someone To Love Me" is so killer, that beat is the heart of this album

when he says "I need you, God help me, please love me, c'mon", it's a hair-raising moment, a naked & raw moment

actually the beat immediately following that song is the album's heartbeat

you may be right: right into "Hate You Now", but it's like one continuous & awesome song
