Is anyone anticipating the new Diddy album?

"loving you no more" remix ft t-pain & gucci mane
http://hulkshare.com/mnwys2may4wy

i think i've gotten to the point where, also counting "ass on the floor" and "i know", i love basically every song that's not tagged as "ft. [somebody]" and am gradually but surely working my way into the rest

oh ok forgot about that first brown joint and also "yeah yeah you would", love those too

i keep skipping the middle part of this but that's just because i love "last night pt 2", "i know", and "change" so much and just want to get to them

who the hell decided to cut "last night pt 2" and "change" from the album proper i wanna know

chris brown's last verse on "i know" is secretly one of the best on this whole album

"change" sucks

^truth bomb

"lsat night pt 2" is great but i'm not sure it would fit into the album -- it's like "veteran" on love king or something -- i get why it was left off, the fact that it exists is enough

LSAT night

if i skip any songs on the album it's the last two

"LSAT night" is like a vampire weekend title

"i know" -> "coming home" is a great 1-2 -- also "coming home" probably has diddy's best performance on the album

btw k3v "change" reminds me of "mama"

this is actually quite cool.

i've been (mis)hearing this line in the second verse of 'yeah yeah you would' as "didn't want to be your mistress / but now i'm too proud of it" which i've loved as 2010's answer to "thought i wouldn't really give a fuck / but now a bitch all in love". was kinda bummed when i realized that's not what the lyric actually is

Sad state of the homogeneity of Young Money,but I mistook Lil Wayne for his wannabe Drake on two tracks on this until I read the label!

<3 this album btw

I like it a lot too. I am no Diddy fan and prefer the new Kanye, but sonically this sucker's all over the map, in a good way. An album for people who like sounds yo

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YOU WOULD

ok I went from liking this a lot to loving it. "Yeah Yeah You Would" and "Looking for Love" are my favs. i love the sterile nature of the latter.

shit man the last minute of "hate you now" just pops off

man, i really like this album, but "change" is just not very good. underwhelming considering the creative minds involved.

"i know" -> "coming home" is a great 1-2 -- also "coming home" probably has diddy's best performance on the album

lol yeah, but I actually love it because it sounds sincere instead of some of his ghostwritten stuff

the whole song is like "diddy ponders some deep thoughts"

was my #3 album

i do feel like pretty much every song on this album really does open up w/ repeated listens [...]

this is true for me too - originally i liked the first run of songs and then a few at the end, but almost every song has some really rewarding nugget buried that you don't appreciate until you've heard it a few times - i mean the first half of "strobe lights" is pretty useless for me but then that last minute is just killer, then there's the last minute of "hate you now", which took couple of listens for me to realize how incredible that changeup really is. and those gorgeous layers of vocals on "ass on the floor", even the very end of "your love" (probably the worst song on the album), but i'm a sucker for those chipmunk vocals. the back part of the album, which is i think pretty clearly the inferior half (especially if you don't have the deluxe!!) contains i think diddy's best rapping on the record, so that picks up some of the slack.

i'd be kind of interested to see everyone's poiii from this album

def an album that really takes a few, I always liked it but it was more a 'oh gee that's nice' type feel after the first two listens, and I didn't appreciate the density until about the third or fourth listen (especially the first time played in hte car)

you are all suckers, I understood its genius before I even clicked the download link

My number two album of the year but might end up number one if I keep enjoying it so much. "ass on the floor" is about as good as music can be.

originally i liked the first run of songs and then a few at the end, but almost every song has some really rewarding nugget buried that you don't appreciate until you've heard it a few times

yeah - i really think this is a function of how frenetic the whole thing is, even when it's meditative, how many voices there are passing the narrative around and how many sonic change-ups there are beneath them - and yet the whole coheres so easily into really enjoyable club r&b.

i almost can't pick a top 3 yet because it flows so easily - maybe "yeah yeah you would", "i hate that you love me", "shades"?

agree that "change" isn't great - v.amusing to remember how terius was all like "i've done this song that's BETTER THAN UMBRELLA" a couple of years ago (jesus that's how long it's taken for this album to get off the ground)

when the handclaps or w/e come in during the chorus of 'hate that you love me'

so good

i love "change"!!

my top 3 would be "ass on the floor", "hate you now", and "yeah yeah you would". not at all set in stone

"ass on the floor" is about as good as music can be.

yeah this is hands down the best song i've heard in ages

the first time you get the backing vocals "and you know just what to do" and one of the dirty money girls singing the same line with a different melody over the top is just like, guhhhhh, heroin hit right there.

top3 "ass on the floor" "strobe lights" "hello good morning" but "love come down" is maybe my favorite song from this project

damn rev stole my top 3 ;_;

'love come down' is great but I was thinking of why it didn't make the cut - it's a little too straightforward, doesn't bob & weave like the other tracks do. the beat is so utterly magnificent and the primacy is established so convincingly within the first 5 seconds that there's really nowhere else for it to go imo.

also it kinda sounds like 'diddy does neptunes'

the vibe to me is so mid-90s, maybe the vocals moreso than the production

"Your Love" not getting enough love itt

It occurs to me that one of the reasons this is more successful than MBDTF is that Kanye's album stretches things out to allow all of its ideas time to bring attention to themselves, whereas on LTtP, everything is just piled on top of each other. After one listen to the Kanye, you've heard everything, whereas the enormity of Diddy's album takes many listens to understand.

And thus repeat listens to this one are much more rewarding.

I'm really annoyed that he put Chris Brown on this. I would like to pick it up, but I absolutely refuse to on the grounds that I don't want any of my time or money knowingly going to a project that involves that douche.

if you bought several albums by different artists in your life, you surely already gave money to big douches

Ashamed to say I like both the CB tracks. u_u

i wonder if T-Pain is still getting royalties off this album, considering that it's a bit less AutoTune-y and influenced by him than it probably was going to be when Diddy originally made that deal with him.
