house&B

The Reverend, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

I'm spent

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

vanilla ballads are the best always.

keyshia cole "heaven sent" = YESS!

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

but I'll ride for house&b until I change my mind

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

but rly I voted for trance-crunk

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

so what is the difference between lush electro and trancecrunk

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

the electro-ness

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

trancecrunk = "Love in This Club"

lush electro = grindmode aka "miami" sans rappers????

?????????

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

yeah.

but I don't think "love in this club" is a shining example

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:46 (eighteen years ago)

I went with lush electro b/c I like lush and I like electro and I loved Lloyd's singles last year and that seems to meet the description to me but I guess I don't know wtf lush electro really is.

Euler, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:46 (eighteen years ago)

vanilla ballads= HEARTS ALL OVER THE WORLD TONIGHT HEARTS ALL OVER THE WORLD TOOOONIIIIGHT

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:46 (eighteen years ago)

lush electro = "Drifter"(/"Bartender"?) and derivatives

The Reverend, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:47 (eighteen years ago)

yeah "you" is a good one for 'lush electro'

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:47 (eighteen years ago)

trancecrunk = "Love in This Club"

lush electro = grindmode aka "miami" sans rappers????

this, basically

The Reverend, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:47 (eighteen years ago)

I guess Lloyd can fit in there

The Reverend, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:48 (eighteen years ago)

add both Lloyd songs to Miami sound, btw

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:48 (eighteen years ago)

i think i'm voting for house&b if the dream album is included

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:49 (eighteen years ago)

wait "I'm So High" is a rap song!!!!

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:49 (eighteen years ago)

where would j holiday - bed fit in.

it's trancey but not crunky.

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:49 (eighteen years ago)

New Jack Swing, still.

Bodrick III, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:50 (eighteen years ago)

the-dream's album its more trance&b, there's only one house&b song

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:50 (eighteen years ago)

"I'm So High" barely has any rapping on it.

The Reverend, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:50 (eighteen years ago)

xp about dream

"Ditch That"???? too slow to be house, if thats what you meant

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:51 (eighteen years ago)

the one rap verse is actually pretty good though

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:51 (eighteen years ago)

xp about "i'm so high"

i need a copy without Rouse on it

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:51 (eighteen years ago)

not that his verse is what made me say that though

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:52 (eighteen years ago)

matrix ill put it on zshare

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:52 (eighteen years ago)

on the real i have no idea what any of these mean even though i was part of the discussion so idk what i'm going to vote for

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:53 (eighteen years ago)

the-dream's record isnt really trancenb either

deej, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:53 (eighteen years ago)

I probably should have added a category for Linn-drum slow jams

The Reverend, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:53 (eighteen years ago)

rly tho guys don't sleep on vanilla ballads. keyshia cole "heaven sent" is a perfect song.

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:54 (eighteen years ago)

there is lots ot tranciness! "nikki" "luv songs" etc.

and there's snap&b like "i luv ur girl"

and there's that one vanilla ballad "mama"

he's got all of the bases covered

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:55 (eighteen years ago)

where do valentino's latest singles fit in? i loved those (anonymous/tell me). 'trance-crunk'?

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:55 (eighteen years ago)

the one rap verse is actually pretty good though

Yeah, especially the "big bon-ed/dark ton-ed" rhyme. But to say it's not an r&b song is pretty wtf.

I'm trying to figure out where the house is on the-dream album...

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:56 (eighteen years ago)

"Anonymous" = definitely trance-crunk

haven't heard the other, I don't think

The Reverend, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:56 (eighteen years ago)

"anonymous" is part of the trance&b trifecta - "my love," "icebox," "anonymous"

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:56 (eighteen years ago)

"ditch that" has a 4/4 beat no?

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:57 (eighteen years ago)

and then luv songs and falsetto sound like late 90s tim

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:57 (eighteen years ago)

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:57 (eighteen years ago)

"Can't Help but Wait" & "Like You'll Never See Me Again" = favorite vanilla ballads of the mo

The Reverend, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:58 (eighteen years ago)

^^^^^^this!

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:58 (eighteen years ago)

new mario joint is good trance-crunk

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 21:59 (eighteen years ago)

"Ditch That" is straight Timbaland

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:59 (eighteen years ago)

ashanti's "way that I love you" is my fave vanilla ballad out right now besides keyshia cole "heaven sent" & "i remember"

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 21:59 (eighteen years ago)

xp timbo: who I guess is the father of what we're calling house&b here with the way i are or whatever but I doubt the-dream was lsitening to Strictly Rhythm records when he made that song

yeah 'livin a lie' is totally house

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:02 (eighteen years ago)

not that anyone claimed that was the kind of house someone had to be listening to to make house&b anyway

deej, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:02 (eighteen years ago)

i mean who hasn't heard 'i like to move it'

deej, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:02 (eighteen years ago)

or 'follow me'

Where does vocoder fit in that mess?

forksclovetofu, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:07 (eighteen years ago)

there's vocoders in all of these except vanilla ballads

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:08 (eighteen years ago)

yeah this stuey rock is totally "lush electro" I think

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:08 (eighteen years ago)

yeah t-pain is all over the place-- 'buy u a drank' is snap&b, 'bartender' is i guess lush electro, 'kiss kiss' and 'i'm the boss' and other stuff are basically rap songs

see "Livin A Lie" to me is just straight up R&B

xp lol that just came on as I read your post, "Mama"...this song sucks

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:12 (eighteen years ago)

that song is great

deej, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:13 (eighteen years ago)

lol I don't know what the fuck house&b is!!! but house is definitely faster than "Livin A Lie" i think? also less song-y

Preview of the Matrix 12, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:13 (eighteen years ago)

i know it sounds like im just trying to disagree with everything you say but really you are just wrong about everything

some stuff:
07 FRIENDS WITH BENEFETS P. DOT-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds_MdM9B8U0 pretty good vanilla ballad, twinkling bells like that keys song
08 BOOTY MUSIC GIT FRESH-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shTwWGNpOuI this one is really really really good i should have posted this earlier, it's got like vocoder, fatman scoop yelling drops, lush-electro verses, all over the place and great

HERE ARE MY SECRETS:

when i'm not at home (in miami) to listen to the radio i just check this chart http://www.power96.com/index.php?page=42 and youtube the stuff i've never heard

I'm sittin here trying to read michael schudson...all this fragmentation of markets and r&b is getting me riled up

if grind mode/ball greezy weren't just starting to get mad spins when i was home for winter break i prolly wouldn't have heard them until much later

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:19 (eighteen years ago)

so it's mostly local stuff then.

ny's local scene is so lame.

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:20 (eighteen years ago)

yeah thankfully there are djs here who don't shy away from spinning local shit even if it isn't as popular as chris brown or whatever

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:20 (eighteen years ago)

is "no air" just a vanilla ballad?

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:21 (eighteen years ago)

man i really love this mario/polow song

J0rdan S., Friday, 28 March 2008 22:22 (eighteen years ago)

it's a power-ballad

The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 22:22 (eighteen years ago)

"fragmentation of markets" is a total misnomer, though. The same people are listening to all this stuff, and it's certainly all in conversation with each other.

if I'd have to choose I'd say "Livin A Lie" leans toward house only because when I think of the trance stuff I think more euphoric, epic
