"Pour It Up" is a full banger

"pour it up" is amazing because it's kinda resolutely bleak and unbanging

it's rihanna's #phuckyofeelings swag shtick taken to a very extreme and unexpected logical conclusion
if her vocal delivery was even slightly more present or party-friendly it'd be very boring
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Monday, 1 April 2013 10:29 (eleven years ago) link
like, she sounds completely stone cold sober and paranoid - not druggy paranoid, actual rational and thought-through paranoid - on it
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Monday, 1 April 2013 10:30 (eleven years ago) link
also, constantly intoning "i still got my (more?) money" as if she's absolutely fixated on not spending it, not letting a single penny out of her pockets, regardless of all the expensive things happening around her
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Monday, 1 April 2013 10:31 (eleven years ago) link
I like the idea that she's worried that one of these days the strip club or the car dealership or whatever will only take cash.

i think lex makes a good point but am just going to point out that that entire defense is the "looking at the club through smoke" aesthetic that you hate
― J0rdan S., Monday, 1 April 2013 13:05 (eleven years ago) link
my argument was that it's one of the only songs in this vein where the singer sounds sober not druggy?
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Monday, 1 April 2013 13:09 (eleven years ago) link
it's better executed than whatever songs you're thinking of, anyway
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Monday, 1 April 2013 13:10 (eleven years ago) link
i don't think it's quite the looking at the party through smoke aesthetic, although there are surface similarities. the weeknd sings from a position of vulnerability that he overcompensates for, lex is correct in that rihanna is just stone cold swag and dgaf.

my favorite part of the song is definite "WHO CARES HOW YOU HATERS FEEL" -- always picture her spraying bullets w/ a tommy gun while singing that part

i dig that one a lot, was just thinking the other day how it's a shame that Brandy was a little ahead of the Mike Will R&B curve but never released that one as a single

no idea. the grantland article on mustard has even more head-scratchers than that though.

Jeezy "4 Zones" may the greatest Mike Will (and P-Nasty who co-produced) track thus far, and def. the best this year
Mike Will beats that sound like they're beamed in from another planet > Mike Will slowin-it-up in da club
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:18 (nine years ago) link
"4 Zones" is weird, like Jeezy was the only southern rapper who didn't warble in AutoTune when it was the thing to do 5 years ago and so he finally does it and it's exactly as awkward as you would expect
it was inevitable that Mike WiLL wouldn't be able to keep up the pace of 2013 but it's almost weird the degree to which he's disappeared this year. "No Flex Zone" his most notable track lately and the beat feels more secondary to the appeal of the song than w/ most of his productions.
― some dude, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:26 (nine years ago) link
idk I get where you're coming from esp. w/r/t to the hook but I really love the track, got a great otherworldly vibe & I like how Jeezy goes on the first verse, matches things nice
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:33 (nine years ago) link
the ATLienization of Jeezy
wait he is ATL my bad. I suppose he's not nu-ATL though
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:34 (nine years ago) link
"Way Too Gone" off the last Jeezy album was the first Mike WiLL track that made me go holy shit, no topping that imo
― some dude, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:36 (nine years ago) link
BTW speaking of another Jeezy track (that I'm not sure I've heard yet, it's a Best Buy bonus) does Polow go by Hot Sauce now lol? Thought I remembered something like that
and yeah "Way Too Gone" is amazing, my favorite Mike Will track the whole time he was popping even though it's not from when he was popping. I really don't mess with the songs he was running the radio with tho, idk what it is, too much of a "depressing strip club" vibe for me or something lol. This year got me thinking he may have a Neptunes/Pharrell-type career where IMO he becomes more creative even as his popularity declines
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:40 (nine years ago) link
oh but I do like most stuff he did with Future and at least a couple of those were reasonably popular, I think
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:41 (nine years ago) link
lol listening to "Addicted" Best Buy bonus with T.I. and YG right now going in expecting the obligatory "buzzaonthebeathoe" drop and instead it's this happy-go-lucky shit heh. Kinda dig it
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:44 (nine years ago) link
Def. the best Childish Major track there, he kinda stinks up the main album
anyway sry not to derail thread topic
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:45 (nine years ago) link
i don't think Polow is using a different name now. he co-produced "Anaconda" as Polow.
― some dude, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:49 (nine years ago) link
I thought he was Hollywood Hotsauce on the Diddy-Dirty Money album but I may be getting my producer aliases crossed up
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:52 (nine years ago) link
wiki says Hollywood Hot Sauce is a completely different dude who co-produced a lot of Polow tracks circa 2009/2010http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Hot_Sauce
― some dude, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 02:59 (nine years ago) link
what was Polow's rapping alter ego? 'Gorgeous Jones'? lol
― some dude, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 03:01 (nine years ago) link
You know I was kinda wtf@"4 Zones" being left off the regular version but like you said maybe Jeezy relistened to the hook and was all naaah that ain't me lol
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 03:05 (nine years ago) link
"Awesome Jones" btw
awesome possum ondabeat

starting to think "No Flex Zone" is a total classic. sucks for those dudes that they'll be remembered as a kiddy act even tho they're like 20

eh its part of their style though. also their new one is gonna be a hit too

all the Future ad libs just make me wonder if it would've sounded better as a Future song, it seems more suited to his voice than Rihanna's
― Dierks Bentley's Holistic Detective Agency (some dude), Thursday, 9 June 2016 12:11 (seven years ago) link
Yeah he wrote it and it really just sounds like a future song w rihanna's vocals.
