Is anyone anticipating the new Diddy album?

dad jokes are shamelessly or ironically deployed obvious or overtly silly jokes and puns. what you did barely makes enough sense to function as a joke on any level.

The performances on this past week's episode of "Saturday Night Live" were really not good.

This is so otm. I was sort of anticipating this album until those songs, then I lost all interest. But, tbh, all you guys enthusing over this is turning me around on it again.

don't pay attention to snl performances

"ass on the floor" is legit 10/10 but it was an absolute & utter mess on snl

i mean a big selling point of this album is the chilled lushness, the foggy sorta atmosphere... shit like that & it didn't translate at all on snl

plus "coming home" is the worst song on the album imo

i think it's the trey songz one but yeah

some dude, i'm gonna defend deej a LITTLE just because right after I posted "watch me" i originally thought, "no... watch my feet" like the beginning of the song. But I just had the good sense to keep it to myself

it was awful, i'm glad that ship is calling ppl out

oh, i agree it was awful. i'm just saying i understand the impulse.

comforting for deej, i'm sure

"that was a grizzly murder of an innocent family, but i understand the impulse" - charles manson

I literally can't get past those songs from SNL. He was so, so embarrassing.

yeesh joke overanalysis

Can anyone here Grace Jones on Yeah Yeah You Would? I thought maybe it was a fake submission by the music blogs to get more people interested, but even Itunes have her listed. I still can't hear her.

Shades is kinda awesome.

Doing spoken word is a good look for Weezy hahahaha.

shades is totally awesome

still need to find this whole album

I only said "kinda" cause I was only like a third through the song, wasn't sure if it was gonna stay dope. It did.

top 10 album

the thing about justin's verse that bothers me more than the grocery bagging, it's that he explicitly says at the end "you ain't never heard me talk like this/ lemme get my drizzy on for you" which is fine i guess since he is grocery bagging, but in the context of the song it always makes me picture him talking dirty to a chick in bed in character as drake, which freaks me out

lol

not being able to download is killing me right now. i need to hear this/ciara/calle 13. :(

I think he kind of pulls of the grocery bagging, too, actually.

"last nite pt 2" bonus track is great

justin sounds fine imo

i only breezed thru this really quickly but --> high expectations time here --> it hasnt crashed my top 10 or anything, although i do like it.

i think 'press play' might be more interesting / less conservative seeming to me than this does, or something. although i do appreciate what hes going for here

SMOKE WEED LISTEN TO SADE

fuchsia gaiters and cummerbunds

I want production credits... they available anywhere? Would like them for my review.

And I want to know who wrote Diddy's lyrics this time... Pharoahe Monch? Probably Hov again. Maybe Drake lolz.

Nm. I hadn't looked at Wikipedia yet. Doh.

there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary re songwriting credits

im trying to love this but instead its just 'good.' o well

you're looking for love

i think the first six proper tracks are an incredible run - there's so much packed in there, so many ideas, and i love the way all the voices crowd in, no one voice really being allowed to wrest control of a song - it really does make it feel v urgent in an action movie kind of way.

second half doesn't click with me as much though i think that's actually cuz i'm so familiar with its highlights already, and the chris brown tracks seem the weakest (not just cuz it's him).

yeah there is a pretty clear break in quality starting w/ the trey songz joint that move this from possibly the #1 album of the year to a solid 5-8/9 range

LOL Ross totally wrote "Looking for Love" for Diddy. It's Ross's rhyme scheme exactly.

but still that second half has "strobe lights", "hello good morning" & "loving you no more" so it's still a good listen

hello good morning is so good

but still that second half has "strobe lights", "hello good morning" & "loving you no more" so it's still a good listen

yeah and "shades" - i love all those songs, i just have to get used to them flowing as part of an album

also "last night pt. 2" and "change" and "coming home," this albums is A+

i totally get the alex da kid hate but "coming home" is transcendent

i'm glad that they're putting "looking for love" out as a single, i think it should be a hit

i like "i know" a lot too -- the songwriting is a bit ordinary but i think the over emotive yearning & the housey thump of the chorus work well in the context of the album

yeah, i incorrectly assumed "i know" would be a trainwreck because of that guest list

yeah and "shades" - i love all those songs, i just have to get used to them flowing as part of an album

yeah, i guess i'm not really saying "second half" in a classic sense where you would break it off after the first chris brown song -- i think the minor dip in quality happens at the trey song

also "last night pt. 2" and "change"

are these actually on any editions of the album?! didn't know "change" was out there, that's the one terius kept hyping as better than "umbrella"

Damn it -- I thought I was done with my year-end listenning.

for p&j purposes is this officially Diddy-Dirty Money or can i just go w/ Dirty Money

lex, they're on the deluxe edition

alfred, listen to this
