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

"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."

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

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 (1 year ago) Permalink
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

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.

[BTW, Terius is doing the U-Stream thing right now, working on a song that sounds great http://www.ustream.tv/channel/radio-killa-tv]

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.

I cannot really imagine wanting to go and see him live, I imagine he'd be kinda terrible?

he was okay when i saw him live - not mind-blowing or anything but not embarrassing. i guess as a support act (to keri hilson lol) there's not much room to fuck up, you just get up there and sing your songs and get off again
― lex pretend, Friday, 24 February 2012 12:53 (1 year ago) Permalink
i mean, the fact that he was singing great songs helped, obv
Roc is just alright on first listen - need to buy it when it comes out to get a better handle in it

Yeah, he's by no means terrible live. I think I saw him between Bobby Valentino, Keri Hilson and Keyshia Cole, and if nothing else he was better than Bobby Valentino.
My most vivid memory from the show is the crowd sitting down during "Love vs. Money."

"Kill The Lights" is really bad; the production is just anemic :( This is the great single he's naming his tour after?
