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

I love it too, still want this new one to better it though.

Although my post didnt indicate that fact :/

At this point we need some kind of convoluted venn diagram to cover all the various narc of sd positioning on the-dream's ouvre.

fuiut(hink) love king isn't his worst album

still waiting for finney and shipley to deliver their verdicts on this one

Still like it even though it is his worst one (besides that other one)

saying its his 'worst album' (i assume you're excluding 1977 which is 10x worse) is arguable at best -- there's no universe in which it's a definitive loser in that race. imho.

Yeah, I love all three, just like Lk a tiny bit less than the other 2 atm. I pretend 77 isnt there.

i do not really have the facts to back this but this song kinda blows imo. it's satisfying that it's occupying that kind of sonic zone he excels in, but i feel like the song isn't even there; he usually - on the dream records - has such distinctive phrasing, part of what makes so many of the insane metaphor couplets so memorable, & this just feels like autopilot. wasn't surm talking about the uselessness of 'roc'-centric jams, recently. also rooting for something because it ~might~ ~possibly~ ~portend~ a return to form just reminds me of being 16 and being really invested in when my favourite shitty band was gonna get good again. also it kinda reminds me of justin bieber, idk. i like the first minute of the weird squishy outro but the song is really lazy to me & the only satisfaction i can get out of it is that it is the-dream & i like the way those records feel.

tbf dream has written a couple bieber hits, lol

good post tho

new song - is it brostep?

I actually kind of dig this

excited to hear a new sonic palette

yeah def.

i really like this

I'm having a hard time with this one, sadly. It just sounds like a YouTube video that's constantly rebuffering.

he's had demos leak before... wouldn't be surprised if this one was too

pretty

yeah i quite liked the palette of this & then zoned out slightly, but i'd be psyched if it was a demo

not feeling it

smh

maybe it's just a rough demo

that url has me concerned

he's producing on the Pusha T album. The rest is just asking about his influence on those dudes etc

if you get to interview the-dream and your THIRD QUESTION is "i want to know what you think of the the weeknd" you need to get the fuck out of the-dream's office

There's a video for ROC now too

from what i've seen he's an pretty bad performer but i'm excited that he's going on tour

that url has me concerned

god, this interview

"wow i have a face to face interview with the-dream, let me ask him about every hot new singer"

complex needs to do a street fashion listicle on the most horrendous glasses/shades they've photographed musicians wearing, with the pic at the top of that interview at #1

The Weeknd is kinda like you on drugs—literally.

the ROC video is relatively undorky by his standards

now granted i would've spent the entire interview secretly gathering material for my 33 1/3 pitch on the-dream's entire 2009 output, but still

I will totally pre-order that book.

oh man all of us better be cited like crazy in such a book

"As Dr. Shipley noted on Saturday, January 21, 2010 at 3:07 PM, the concept of 'falltime' is entirely a creation of Nash's imagination."

lol

lol

hahaha

there's a radio dj here that still throws "nikki" into mix show sets now and again, i think he's just trolling me

he must be

would buy a book consisting of photos of terius looking un-cool (aka every single one)

(23) 'Falltime or Failtime: Persistent Myth-Takes of Seasonality in the Work of Terius Nash' by Dr Al B Shipley (Boston, Ilxelsior Press, 2011).

shockingly unpretentious and pretty fun video

The song just seems like such a non-starter as a single. It's so slight it's barely there, and it runs five and a half minutes. Even in a radio edit, could any station really play this in regular rotation?

no but the last dream single you could say that about was like 6 tries ago

i'm not sure he has a place on rap/r&b radio right now

and i think that says more about the radio than it does about the-dream
