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

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?
― Evan R, Friday, 24 February 2012 03:59 (twelve years ago) link
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
― pre-tennis ball head-era chris brown (J0rdan S.), Friday, 24 February 2012 04:13 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think his inability to score a solo hit is an inherently bad thing, of course. It just makes me sad with a song like ROC, which seems to try so hard for radio acceptance but just completely whiffs even as it panders
― Evan R, Friday, 24 February 2012 04:16 (twelve years ago) link
hmmm i don't see it that way
i guess it doesn't really sound like pandering to radio to me... it's very hardcore r&b which seems to have a smaller and smaller slice of playlists on r&b sections nowadays. it sounds like something off the electrik red or mariah albums, both of which were failures by their own standards. i'm sure he's aware of this.
i mean if he REALLY wanted to pander he could call up trey songz or take some a song he wrote for bieber and try and sing it himself... i think he seems more or less content using his capital at def jam to keep writing stuff that sounds like dream solo stuff, popular now or not
― pre-tennis ball head-era chris brown (J0rdan S.), Friday, 24 February 2012 04:22 (twelve years ago) link
I guess will.i.am and company have just so completely co-opted the word "rock" that I immediately associate it with the lowest common denominator now.

ROC's grown on me, but I haven't listened to it next to any other Terius stuff so maybe that's why? I love the interpolation of Da Dip.
