Ryan Leslie, c/d, s/d

yeah that song is really awesome

valentine, irina & gibberish are the best deep cuts off the first one

i wish dude had enough buzz to do more rap beats, love his stuff on the last Fab album

yes -- also "something that i like" off transition

man this is getting me all nostalgic, s/t was the first record i reviewed for my college paper

Nostalgic For 18 Months Ago: The Memoir of K3vin K3ller

this one is dope too

idk i thought the 2nd one sounded way more interested in songwriting & less abt sounding like the neptunes

idk about sounding like the neptunes, but i agree that the second one def has better songwriting

i know i didn't listen to it as much but i barely remember any of the songs off the 2nd

he produced a joint on the new fab EP

ryan and fab are a very good team

he's offering A MILLION DOLLARS (he has a million dollars?) for the return of his laptop

lol

lol @ that song

god that is so funny

i don't understand how this guy is always touring in europe? i mean, i love him, but he has fans there? he doesn't even have fans here!

also i'm astounded that he can, if he can, afford to offer $1m for a laptop -- off of one cassie song & two placements on the last fabolous album

he does have fans here. hes surprisingly popular w/ regular R&B fans

not a superstar or anything but ppl know who he is

RL is one of those dudes that seems vaguely monied or well backed no matter how successful or unsuccessful he is -- went to Harvard, was mentored by Diddy and Tommy Mottola, grinded pretty hard w/ his imprint, youtube channel etc. before being at all famous, probably is just the kind of resourceful guy who knows how to stay well off even without hits.

yeah deej is right i know irl r les fans

good pt by somedude also, seems pretty resourceful

not stans or anything but people who dig "addicted" and stuff xp

apparently he's off Universal and doing his next album independently? not many mid-level R&B artists survive that kinda thing in any meaningful way but if anyone could be the R&B equivalent of a Koch rapper i guess it's him.

yeah i mean a fab guest spot or w/e is probably still in the cards right

looool - rl's totally some1 whose stuff i always look out for, for no real reason i guess. i liked transition a lot and listen to it all the time.

i've come across a surprising amount of ryan leslie fans irl.

i'll be seeing him at fabric (!) on the 15th, if i am back from miami in time.

fabric?

on a mon night!

(i think they've started putting on gigs now.)

ryan leslie is a perfect example of someone who makes a grocery bag punchline work 4 him

example, pls

if u dont f/w 'sunday nite' i dont f/w u

It's cute how that's your favorite track from Transition.

new song

http://www.nextselection.com/joanofarc/

where classical references meet grocery bags in an erosion of the boundaries between high and low culture

"maybachs & diamonds" is awesome

"joan of arc" is dope -- every song off this project has been really great

ehh im not feeling it

yeah it's ok but i don't think there's any reason for r-les to be rapping so much

the first few times i heard Wiz Khalifa's "Roll Up" on the radio i thought it was a really disappointing new Ryan Leslie song

"roll up" is much better than this

KICKIN IT W MY BAAAAYBEEE

The only Reason why Ryan doesn't all the fame is because he worked hard to get to where he got.. !! he didnt sell his soul to fuckin satan !!

New First Single.

why is he rapping on all of these? STOP IT R-LES

the arrangement and chorus are fantastically overblown but really the verses are just him shooting himself in the foot repeatedly

nice "grocery bag" bit in the first verse...

agree he really shouldn't be rapping, plus the music is nowhere near as interesting as usual imo.

He performed this when I saw him live last summer. It's def whatever. He shouldn't push autobiographical shit
