6/7/2011, imma drop that body work / fuck my brains out double single (TERIUS NASH aka THE-DREAM, LOVE IV: anticipation and adoration)

what the fuck is fiona apple doing at the bottom of that bill >:(

also full tour sched is out
lol that i had seen "the dream" listed as playing in new haven like a wk ago but i didnt think it was really the-dream !

I cannot really imagine wanting to go and see him live, I imagine he'd be kinda terrible?

that does seem 2 be what ppl say...idk i might still go just out of curiousity

are you gonna go see him?

well either i will or wont, those are the options as i see them

excellent

he was okay when i saw him live - not mind-blowing or anything but not embarrassing. i guess as a support act (to keri hilson lol) there's not much room to fuck up, you just get up there and sing your songs and get off again

i mean, the fact that he was singing great songs helped, obv

Roc is just alright on first listen - need to buy it when it comes out to get a better handle in it

Kinda wanna stay away from SXSW but I might try to see this

Yeah, he's by no means terrible live. I think I saw him between Bobby Valentino, Keri Hilson and Keyshia Cole, and if nothing else he was better than Bobby Valentino.

My most vivid memory from the show is the crowd sitting down during "Love vs. Money."

"Kill The Lights" is really bad; the production is just anemic :( This is the great single he's naming his tour after?

Lloyd was actually really good when i saw him live

I think I saw him between Bobby Valentino, Keri Hilson and Keyshia Cole, and if nothing else he was better than Bobby Valentino.

think we must have seen the same tour! iirc bobby v was much more of the showman. i missed keyshia because that's when i was doing the interview.

terius apparently working with tulisa now, huh.

Keyshia's show was surprisingly high-production. Her stage looked like a West Side Story set.

Lloyd has killed it live every time I've seen him.

im glad i went 2 this
got there a lil late cuz of a dumb #letmehelpyouwithyourgirlproblem & he was just finishing falsetto; not sure how many songs i missed
dream is such a ham i was lol'ing so much
he played fancy and said hes never performed it b4
after the awz build to the drums @ the end it turned into like death metal drum fills & dream just strutting it was so absurd

shit, was this in ct?

lol yea dude new haven

damn, where?

he's playing here 2nite but i'm not going

pretty sure he sux live and I hate the venue

toads place xp

duh. gah

i mean, as much as it's possible to perform his songs w/ a live band, it's not that bad

altho they were wanding ppl to get in, i dont remember them doing that when i saw yo la tengo there

YOU USED TO BE ANTI INTERNET

BUT NOW YOU'RE CONSTANTLY BLOGGING AND SHIT

I cannot believe the way these guys write. It’s incomprehensible and downright retarded. Twitter or not, a basic understanding of commas and apostrophes will suffice.

It’s disgusting really.

oh lord

please let's keep beef culture out of r&b

that was the saddest thing i read all month

someone needs to tell the weeknd to kiss the ring imo

I just wish people wouldn’t say things like that, because these days, everybody is influenced by everybody (and let’s keep it real, his first album had so many attempts at the brotha trying to sound like Prince).

Yes! Future Love IV music video, Rakim-style!

Nash didn't name names but Tesfaye got tweet-combative anyway?

Nash just said he was thinking of 4 people. So yep, getting defensive I guess.

6-12 months before they collaborate on a track?

So who are the other 3 he had in mind?

Frank Ocean was probably one. Miguel, maybe and Trey Songz, plus Weeknd.

that's just naming the only four male breakout r&b singers of the past few years

i mean maybe he did actually mean it that way but...

four probably wasn't an exact number

Yeah, depends. Hard to say if it's something he's been ruminating on mathematical-like! Or just in the frustrated general sense...

“I haven’t done a show in close to two years, and ever since then, there’s like four n****s who sound like me now. I’m just being honest. I remember before 2007, nobody knew what to do with this s**t.”

"like four"

It just sounds like kind of a failed brag to me. "I'm super influential. There are, like, four people who sound like me."

Diss silliness aside, though, this concert looks insanely fun:

Gonna have to check this tour out, especially if he's playing "Right Side of My Brain."
