xp timbo: who I guess is the father of what we're calling house&b here with the way i are or whatever but I doubt the-dream was lsitening to Strictly Rhythm records when he made that song

pretty sure he's heard some strictly rhythm tracks tho
― deej, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:02 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah 'livin a lie' is totally house
― J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:02 (sixteen years ago) link
not that anyone claimed that was the kind of house someone had to be listening to to make house&b anyway
i mean who hasn't heard 'i like to move it'
or 'follow me'
― deej, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:03 (sixteen years ago) link
whatever picked a house label let's argue about it

Where does vocoder fit in that mess?
― forksclovetofu, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:07 (sixteen years ago) link
there's vocoders in all of these except vanilla ballads
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah this stuey rock is totally "lush electro" I think
yeah t-pain is all over the place-- 'buy u a drank' is snap&b, 'bartender' is i guess lush electro, 'kiss kiss' and 'i'm the boss' and other stuff are basically rap songs

there's a vocoder in the-dream's vanilla ballad about his momma
― deej, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:11 (sixteen years ago) link
see "Livin A Lie" to me is just straight up R&B
― Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:11 (sixteen years ago) link
and also we're conflating vocoders w/ autotune

its a straight 4 on the floor beat too. how are you defining 'house&b'?
xp lol that just came on as I read your post, "Mama"...this song sucks
― Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:12 (sixteen years ago) link
that song is great
― deej, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:13 (sixteen years ago) link
lol I don't know what the fuck house&b is!!! but house is definitely faster than "Livin A Lie" i think? also less song-y
― Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:13 (sixteen years ago) link
i know it sounds like im just trying to disagree with everything you say but really you are just wrong about everything
some stuff: 07 FRIENDS WITH BENEFETS P. DOT-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds_MdM9B8U0 pretty good vanilla ballad, twinkling bells like that keys song 08 BOOTY MUSIC GIT FRESH-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shTwWGNpOuI this one is really really really good i should have posted this earlier, it's got like vocoder, fatman scoop yelling drops, lush-electro verses, all over the place and great
― J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:14 (sixteen years ago) link
also that colby o donnis song for lush-electro i think
I don't like songs that are about things
― Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:15 (sixteen years ago) link

he's on the internet 24/7 so what else is he gonna do?
― deej, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:16 (sixteen years ago) link
zing-a-ling
I don't know what the fuck house&b is!!!
Fast r&b with 4-to-the-floor machine-beats. Not that hard, fella.

hahaha yeah it's hard when your homework involves a computer

livin a lie is more trance&b to me
HERE ARE MY SECRETS:
when i'm not at home (in miami) to listen to the radio i just check this chart http://www.power96.com/index.php?page=42 and youtube the stuff i've never heard
― J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:18 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm sittin here trying to read michael schudson...all this fragmentation of markets and r&b is getting me riled up
― Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:19 (sixteen years ago) link
if grind mode/ball greezy weren't just starting to get mad spins when i was home for winter break i prolly wouldn't have heard them until much later
― J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:19 (sixteen years ago) link
so it's mostly local stuff then.
ny's local scene is so lame.
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:20 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah thankfully there are djs here who don't shy away from spinning local shit even if it isn't as popular as chris brown or whatever
― J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:20 (sixteen years ago) link
is "no air" just a vanilla ballad?
― J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:21 (sixteen years ago) link
man i really love this mario/polow song
― J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:22 (sixteen years ago) link
it's a power-ballad
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:22 (sixteen years ago) link
"fragmentation of markets" is a total misnomer, though. The same people are listening to all this stuff, and it's certainly all in conversation with each other.
― The Reverend, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:22 (sixteen years ago) link
which one? crying out for me?
that was about my journalism reading, not this thread lol

I'm actually kind of surprised the r&b power-ballad didn't become more of a trend in the wake of "Umbrella".
― The Reverend, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:23 (sixteen years ago) link
they got djs like that in seattle?
