Rolling R&B Thread 2012

i was just listening to the latest T.I. mixtape today and thinking about how odd it is that Nelly still exists and people keep working with him as if he still existed

ethan p put me onto this dude, i like his shit

really like that

yo that is awesome

Amazing.

The internet is saying it's produced by friendly fires o_O

yeah that's what the official mixtape version is tagged as

just a sample surely?

the song is tagged as "produced by friendly fires"

miguel just tweeted a link to art dealer chic vol. 1

whoa love that fortebowie. the rap is pretty jarring at first but i think he pulls it off

gravity is on par with adorn

wow yeah gravity is great

just listened to "adorn" for the first time in a couple weeks and wow is it still incredible

This is all exceptional

for those who missed the dl links it's on datpiff

new volumes will be released on the 27th of each month

fyi the estelle album is pretty damn good despite how transparently she wants to be lauryn right down to the classroom interludes about love that you have to program out

diggy is kinda lame but jeremih remains great as usual

"diggy is kinda lame" may be the understatement of the year

are we on "gucci this, gucci that" at all?

sounds like a pretty great throwback to crunk & b to me

and if you're like me you're just pretending that it's the return of vistoso bosses

wow they've grown since we last saw them

great to see their production strategy continues to be daddy's leftovers

(i knew i'd fuck with it before i even pressed play and it didn't disappoint)

i love the hook & cute happy vibe of "do it like you"

it's also hilariously comes off as a direct response to "gucci gucci"

"diggy is kinda lame" may be the understatement of the year

yeah I watched the video after I posted it and I think he's a bieber clone? wikipedia sez he's the son of rev run though!

i love the hook & cute happy vibe of "do it like you"

I knew you would come through :-)

is diggy diggy simmons or something? think he was xxl freshmen last year? or is he young money? or both?

definite post-drake vibe

song is straight up adorable though

it would be hilarious if there was more than one kiddie rapper named diggy but yeah diggy simmons just decided to go mononym

jeremih needs to come with that third album already and stop giving hooks to wack rappers to stay on the radio

sh1pley go hard otm

apparently this leaked in novmeber, but i guess the NO DJ version has leaked now --

pretty interesting line up... t-pain ft petey pablo & magoo + lil jon and fatman scoop shouting shit, but it's kind of a chill joint -- at least for something called "bring the club back"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmKDk5DKFPY

maybe more rolling pop than rolling r&b but figured the audience for it is here

ignore the first 7 seconds of that video

the fatman scoop shouting is mixed so loud lol, sounds terrible

I kind of love this:

Apparently this guy Marcus Canty was on the American version of X-Factor? At least something good came from that show; I'd buy a full album of this:

i had to listen to some jade alston to cleanse my ears after that shitty fortebowie song (well, WHAT SONG indeed)

just this dreadful amateur attempt to recreate "sex intelligent". NO THANKS

There's some pretty good stuff on the new Teyana Taylor mixtape. Solid release.

Some of these Hitboy-produced Taylor tracks are just gorgeous. Not sure how I missed "Gorgeous" when it came out in 2009. "You Know" is really pretty, too.

anyone have XM radio? this one dj, cayman kelly (@CaymanKellyshow), just has the best fuckin taste, love listening to his show. slow jam heaven

just followed up the new eric benet single (which is nice!) with kut klose "i like" (!!)

awesome

it's all getting a bit obvious, this late night laptop melancholy stuff

inclined to agree

i still find jhene interesting; her voice and songwriting just hit it for me

<3 her

i like this song

feeling the melanie fiona album so far. guest rappers could do better without exception though.

did she just channel nina simone there on "bones"?! rather incredible, that one.
