Rolling R&B Thread 2008

all remixes in 2008 should have plies on em acting a fool, i decided

DAMN RIGHT I PUT THAT ON YOUTUBE
DAMN RIGHT I AM UNHYGIENIC IN THE CLUB
SORRY BITCH I LEFT THAT UMBRELLA ON THE TRAIN
LOL MJB U OLD

etc

haha

loool

song id? has akon on it, but not akon's song I don't think, refrain is something like "girl, stop showing off". That's not it at all, but that's it at all, but that's kind of the gist of things.

i think this is it rev: rolling US charts 2008/talk about "pop" here

Thx for being able to make sense of my garbled post. That's it. I guess Colby O'Donis joins Oneal McKnight on the Irish r&b singer list. Speaking of whom, screw his label for adding Greg Nice (!?) to "Check Your Coat". All 'spect to him, but dude fucks up the song.

random thought: "Hypnotized" is one of those potential monster summer jams denied its destiny by being relegated to the winter.

Brandon Hines new single... there's been lots of hype about this guy and he's gained a pretty big following off of his indepently released album Love Music. Now he's on a major.. really talented dude.

he's like trey songz without the rapping and the annoying vibrato.

also, my girl Jazmine Sullivan is going to be featured on Missy's new album. Should be great, their previous collabos are awesome. Especially this one whenever her debut comes out it's going to be GAME OVER.

luda on the "like you'll never see me again" remix :D

really like the original too

no one annoys the shit out of me but this broken/strained voice she's got going for her is really working

new ne-yo lolz w/ rihanna... can't quite decide if i'd rather beyonce irrreplaceabling it as so to tug on heartstrings or if ri-ri's deadpan is just the minor job

also dammit al, putting ne-yo and p!@td together really is proving hard to get over all of a sudden

grab your clothes and get gone
- you better hurry up!
before the sprinklers come on

= winner

aren't Ne-Yo and Panic both from Vegas, too? worst episode of MTV My Block ever.

you know, I'm actually starting to respect Rihanna as a singer (which I probably should have started doing a year or so ago)

mightve been awesome if he'd kept going and widescreen unfolded it a la 'ditch that' with loads of echoplex'd harmonizing and whatnot, bass booms and claps all coming back for the crescendo

or had a quick go on donkey kong country underwater level, whichevs. sort of impressive sultry stab at a vague bamboo-panelled eroticism i guess but it's no ciara 'get up' rmx or anything really. hm.

oop, this is the link u want actually

what is "bamboo-panelled eroticism"? does it involve happy endings?

we heard this? Charlie Wilson, "Let It Out"

I like Wilson having a context to funk it up, but I'm not sure this is the right one.

weird hearing his voice thru all those effects

cool song tho

Glad I heard that Grind Mode song from upthread that I forgot about again.

I was quite wary coming in because of the title, but "Google Me" is great, especially the "You ain't nobody/ you better ask somebody" bits. She sounds a lot like MJB.

ok the Cheri Dennis album. yes. very yes.

(all the insight I have right now)

lol you are always so late

never said I wasn't

nothing wrong with being late don't take offense lol

guys what's this like

kinda like the cassie album except with someone that can sing

(the tradeoff being that there's nothing nearly as astounding as "Me & U", but better overall)

so like a buncha slick electro?

not electro per se, but definitely slick and bright. Dennis, as a singer, is very sweet.

anyway some new(ish) shit i've been listening to:

lil ronnie - addicted

lloyd & lil wayne- girls around the world (this song is SO FUCKING HOT... on some throwback early 90s shit)

cherish - amnesia (very destiny's child-circa 'writings on the wall')

dwele - i'm cheatin

nina sky - secrets

also, estelle's album is pretty good. only listened once tho.

most of it sounds more like "Long Way 2 Go" than "Me & U", if that gives you an idea xp

Brainwasher bein on top of shit so I don't have to can finally get around to listening to it in two months

that wayne verse is fire

OK I'm thinkin' of a master plan
Nah, I'm lyin', shorty on my mind
Shorty like a fryin'
pan, and I ain't got
Nothin' but sweat inside my hands

new Lloyd single ft. Luda...kind of on the house&b tip

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_1qAYJot-Ns

feeling it

@ r|t|c
I think it would be way cornier with usher on it

so, what's good.

some goddamn nonsense spoken about the cheri dennis alb there rev.

that wayne verse is fire 50% him just obnoxiously chuckling at himself

hey cassie fans! official girl hat geleaken! now go ahead and count yourselves lucky that it's just karina paisan yoinking it, cos it's not much cop i don't think.

'thirsty', on the other hand, is excellent. love the way the song kinda reflects the sudden dive from glass-of-water plain whimsy into "we could be fully submerged" deep-end murk, and then teasingly back out again.

ryan leslie's valentine song is nice too. i clowned him for being a bit concieted but that and the 'diamond girl' video mightve made him slightly more lovable in an almostic kanyic way.

'touch my body rmx' has also grown on me a lot. like a strange alien mould. what do ppl think it achieves?

the other day on the radio a DJ used the "Touch My Body" remix instrumental as a music bed for a few minutes and fuck, that's a pretty great piece of production. rappers (not-Rick-Ross rappers) should be all over it.

R-Lez definitely has the same overachieving dork chromosome as Kanye, although I don't know if I ever would've liked Kanye much if YouTube had been around for him to broadcast his unctuous personality through before he'd even produced more than a couple hits. "Diamond Girl" is great but I think Sean Garrett is once again the horse I'm betting on in the songwriter-turned-star race in light of "Grippin'."

bobby valentino / lil wayne - your smile:
'tell me' rehash; wetters of exotic beds will be pleased. chorus hollers "eeyore!" just as i was about to put it down, so points for moxie i guess.

c-side / keyshia cole - boyfriend / girlfriend:
not quite as summer roller teen good as you want it to be, it's aight though! i'll co-sign any and all fake pretty rickies but it's keyshia bringing the breezy what does it really. milf game proper in the video too.

git fresh - booty music:
fake pretty rickies like these guys! they used to be called deepside (yes. from the step up 1 s/t INDEED) but have since changed their name for british lolz and the slim hope of def jam treating them better than atlantic. i am bored enough to rep for this song.

paula deanda - marching:
this is some noble lip-quivering stoicism all right. i like how they never lose their nerve with the beat. want to listen some more to be sure but put "funerealness" on hold plz.

r kelly - hairbraider:
al tell me if this is good, i am not in a kells mood right now.

haha i haven't listened to "Hairbraider" yet, i'll check for it tonight. is the hook like a call back to "I Wish"?

why, uh are you expecting the hairbraider to be recently deceased? i think it's like an 'in love with a braider' t-dream sort of effort.

not really into 'gripping' at all. is it making radio waves or something? i don't really know if i like how he's all whiny whilst still looking like if jeezy was your personal shopper

http://a495.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/75/l_e02fdd17a632d6f0371837206e121aa6.jpg

making small waves, I think, enough for me to randomly hear it one day without immediately knowing who it was and being engaged/impressed.

there's a whole vamp at the end of "I Wish" about braiding hair is all I meant! or maybe it was the remix, either way.

oh ok soz, i forget the remix.

i respect the fact that garrett has titled his album TURBO 919!! i probably would too tbh.

ne-yo's year of the gentleman and mario winans' love: it's only fair amusing also

hey, I'm happy as long as R&B singers stop putting their own names and/or the word "evolution" in album titles

shareefa the black dahlia oughta be like a janelle monae-style homage to hardboiled noir featuring the game on every track

can't wait til someone asks sterling simms why he called his worth the while

"well uh, basically i..."
