Yeah, I kinda dig "Your Love." Annie Lennox sample, y'all!
― jaymc, Tuesday, 10 August 2010 13:06 (thirteen years ago) link
the sample coulda been done well but everything about the lyrics/vocals is a nightmare
― dark twisted fanta girl (some dude), Tuesday, 10 August 2010 13:09 (thirteen years ago) link
She gets her asian references mixed up but it's cool. UNLESS! She's saying something like "WOW! I am a geisha and I speak Thai, which is totally weird, but YOU understood me! How special!"

I thought it was supposed to be a dream
― dyao, Tuesday, 10 August 2010 13:15 (thirteen years ago) link
also "candy store/toddlore" is such a cute rhyme
She gets her asian references mixed up
she does this a lot, cf "i be out in china spendin yenz'z'z" on "shopaholic"

I like it when she says "hot damn make me scream like summer jam" that is the #1 reason why I love "your love"
― peacocks, Tuesday, 10 August 2010 15:02 (thirteen years ago) link
that line is actually cool
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 10 August 2010 16:53 (thirteen years ago) link
i just realized that she pretty much sounds like a tranquilized fred during the chorus tho
also for some reason the part about the dude's waves really annoys me
a tranquilized fred?
― dark twisted fanta girl (some dude), Tuesday, 10 August 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
fred, the internet star
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 10 August 2010 17:25 (thirteen years ago) link
Haven't heard the song, but maybe that is just how she pronounces "yuan"??
― jaymc, Tuesday, 10 August 2010 17:49 (thirteen years ago) link
that would be a generous reading indeed considering she rhymes it with benz'z'z

i so WANT to like Nicki's songs and get spots. but she's always lettin' me down.
― LAMBDA LAMBDA LANDA (Beatrix Kiddo), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 21:26 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah this song is pretty awful
i don't think it's on her album tho, I think it's will's single
― / (The Brainwasher), Thursday, 2 September 2010 00:35 (thirteen years ago) link
this has to be a joke
― teledyldonix, Thursday, 2 September 2010 01:01 (thirteen years ago) link
All this really proves is that Nicki is only good enough to save a generic Trey Songz song, not a bad will.i.am song.
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 2 September 2010 03:24 (thirteen years ago) link
she tweeted that this would be on the album :(
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 2 September 2010 08:14 (thirteen years ago) link
At this point, it might be good to have a recap of what are the actually good Nicki tracks and guest spots. Anyone want to put together a POX list or "Rough Guide to..."?
― Jeff W, Thursday, 2 September 2010 11:36 (thirteen years ago) link
i think when she does good things, people bump I'm Nicki Minaj, Nicki Lewinsky, Nicki the Ninja, Nicki the Boss, Nicki the Harajuku Barbie - one of the first posts is an early rough guide to her (if i have time today i might do one here though)
i like the idea of an artist having both LOVE and HATE threads

ouch, that's harsh. what do you dislike about it?
― markers garvey (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 02:51 (thirteen years ago) link
all of it
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2010 02:53 (thirteen years ago) link
it's just a total mess of a song that sounds horrible
i was trying to open a dialog there. :(
― markers garvey (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 02:54 (thirteen years ago) link
it is a little bit messy (mostly toward the end), but its strengths overcome that imo. what is the sample? it sounds familiar but i can't place it.
― markers garvey (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 02:55 (thirteen years ago) link
the sample really puts me in a good mood.
― markers garvey (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 02:56 (thirteen years ago) link
i think it's really sonically unpleasant w/ barely a hook
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2010 02:57 (thirteen years ago) link
ahhh, i love the sonics. the hook is kinda bare but works?
― markers garvey (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 02:59 (thirteen years ago) link
oh shit, it's "video killed the radio star" haha
― markers garvey (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 03:00 (thirteen years ago) link
it also bothers me that on "omg" usher just sounds like a will body double & on this joint nicki is just playing the role of fergie -- there's no collaboration... it's just grafting other pop stars onto black eyed peas songs -- with usher it felt a bit more okay because he had already showed that he was just gonna jump on whatever trend could keep his career alive, but with nicki i feel like there should be more of a meeting of a minds than what this is
also her rap verse shouldn't be buried after 3 mins of will.i.am
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2010 03:01 (thirteen years ago) link
that factor is way more depressing on "omg" probably because usher can do way more than he does and it feels like he's really limiting himself. i don't feel like nikki ends up as subsumed, but i don't think "check it out" sounds that much like a bep song. really, it's more in line with will's last solo album, which i liked most of.
i don't really care how this fits into nikki's career arc tho.
― markers garvey (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 03:06 (thirteen years ago) link
in fact i like it more for will than for nikki.
― markers garvey (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 03:07 (thirteen years ago) link
the will.i.am bits on this are even worse than...the rest of it, which is pretty bad, apart from nicki's rap, which arrives way too late in the day to rescue it
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 10:53 (thirteen years ago) link
fuck all the talk about having threesomes w/ cassie & amber rose, i think the most subversive thing nicki's ever said on record is "i'm with a bad bitch/ he's with his friends" because she says it so casually that it's almost hard to notice
― gimme schefter (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 10:39 (thirteen years ago) link
also i'm still trying to figure out the ratio of gross crassness: hilarious brilliance of "and we be doin donuts while we wave in the 380/ we give a lot of money to the babies out in haiti"
