Best Song on Diddy - Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris"

haha 'last night pt. 2' would probably be me vote in 'didnt get any votes' poll. probably my third fave on the album tbh everytime i hear the drums start i think im about to watch a really sweet 90s video

both of you otm

I like the remix of "Last Night Pt 2" way more than the LTTP version

alright shit lemme listen to this

actually link?

you haven't heard Love Love vs Hate Love? o_O

oh duh n/m

we def need a repoll, like an annual one

no love for first place loser? I forgot how I even got this track btw

Really wish that "Freeze your face" version with the 50 songs would've came out.

my parents were a little older when they had me, and they were both younger kids in their families. it always kinda weirded me out when other kids would talk about going to see their great-grandparents. like i didn't think that should be possible.

!

haha waitaminit i must have put that in the wrong thread

and now i can't even think where it should have gone

thought it was a lost line from "Someone to Love Me"

just looking for a great-grandparent to love him

cool story tho goole i'm the same way, pretty sure my greats died well before i was born

anyone who never got the deluxe CD, now's the time... shit is brand new $3.00 and change on Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Last-Train-Paris-Deluxe-Edition/dp/B003MX5OZS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1333856779&sr=8-4

apparently the internet has no DDM tshirts to offer me, this is nuts.

however searching amazon > apparel for "diddy" does return this:

http://www.amazon.com/Paper-Magic-Group-Rapper-Costume/dp/B003ZU5Y30/ref=sr_1_11?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1335204196&sr=1-11

fuck that.

i was thinking of doing a 'best guest appearance on LTTP' poll but not sure if i want to rush into that level of overkill

there are surprisingly few standouts to choose from!

yeah that was why i thought it'd be interesting

lord, it'd actually be timberlake or grey for me (tip in third place)

everyone else is either barely noticeable (grace jones, bilal/fauntleroy backing vox) or crucial-but-not-notable (swizz beatz) or the worst thing about the song (drake, breezy, rawse) or dead (biggie)

usher and wayne acquit themselves well but i don't feel they bring the EXACT singular vibe that's perfect for both the song and the context within the album that timberlake and grey too.

if there was somehow a version of "hello good morning" with both tip and nicki minaj on it, and it was on the album, nicki would walk it. YOUNG MONEY I DO IT FOR THE YOUT DEM

"Your Love" is one of the best things Trey Songz has ever done, he probably would get my vote

^some dude otm

oh actually yeah i agree! i forgot because i was looking at the choices in this poll and poor trey's credit got missed off

(but i think i'd still choose timberlake or grey)

trey may well have the best individual performance but i think looking at it in terms of whose absence from the album would be most felt it's weezy imo

oh i'd love weezyless edits of both his songs

can we do a kickstarter to buy goole that costume and then require him to wear it once a week

just another mise en scene trampled under ships' absolutist hooves xp

haha

i mean i totally subscribe to the theory that every element of the album contributes to the whole and wouldn't want to change a thing -- BUT if i was going to delete anyone from the record it'd totally be Wayne

oh i'd love weezyless edits of both his songs

i'd totally vote chris brown tbh - i've loved plenty of his songs before and after LTTP but i think his performers here are among the very few that hint at any actual humanity

well at least the better of the two CB songs appears without him (and perhaps more crucially, without Wiz Khalifa) on the Dawn mixtape

i might feel compelled to vote for CB in this hypothetical poll so please don't

also my hourly rate for humiliation is pretty high but i'm not saying no at this point in time

gotcher back, dude brought it on this album imo. i know tim agrees too

pretty happy that I had cause to order stuff from amazon and got a $3 physical versh

y'all are underrating weezy on "strobe lights", that might get my vote

i told her i would love her
love her as forever
forever's just a word
i put words together

I have never underrated weezy on strobe lights

the strobe lights are dancing
we've taken all the chances
she question what we are
and i'll drink to the answer

yeah dayo you're the only one

yeah no i do think we're p much on the same page here generally but just for me weezy's presence on the album was vital in kinda idk, emulsifying the cocky/dreamy "hate you but i love you but i hate you" motherfuckers that's stoned patient aspect that i think would otherwise have got a little lost just with diddy carrying it. obviously subsequent releases in the ddm canon have further gone some ways towards internalizing the whole aesthetic so that perhaps now weezy doesnt quite seem as necessary, but at the time (and still in terms of lltp as a standalone piece) he was pertinent

also i say weezy's 'presence' rather than contribution specifically - i would suggest it's important to note all guests on the album have their characters sublimated into the lttp vibe, almost like they're mutliplicites of a single conflicted self rather than discrete entities cosigning the main body. like i might have first said ross was eminently the least essential person on this but even he works as a sort of texture of in-the-here-and-now brash celebrity unaware of the diddy/biggie melancholies to come

i told her i would love her
love her as forever
forever's just a word
i put words together

these are not the lines i would choose to type out to sell wayne on "strobe lights" to sceptics (though i do like his turn on it)

lil wayne's attitude on 'strobe lights' is like someone pulling the wings off of a fly

forever's just a word
i put words together

pretty devastating imo

really fits into the dark, doubtful middle third of the album

love hypothetical polls btw, dudes should fail to realise them more often

i would suggest it's important to note all guests on the album have their characters sublimated into the lttp vibe, almost like they're mutliplicites of a single conflicted self rather than discrete entities cosigning the main body

this is so crucial yeah! but the best ones are also entirely recognisable as themselves, or at least they're basically still doing what they normally do, so it's not just straightforward self-anonymising in service of diddy, it's kind of...almost like the other way round, an extension of the sade love (and how diddy quotes those songs diddy on "coming home"). it's him identifying with what wayne, justin etc do and using them as mouthpieces.
