The physical deluxe version does not have either "First Place Loser" or "Love Come Down".

But yeah basically hating iTunes right now for making "First Place Loser" Album Only. Fuckers.

"Strobe Lights" was the exact moment of my first play that I freaked the fuck out about how good this is. Worst song is "Loving You No More".

Apparently J. Cole wrote "Coming Home"?
jcole would make a great ghostwriter

"first place loser" is kind of really, really great
― dayo, Monday, 10 January 2011 15:16 (thirteen years ago) link
the intertwining melodies on the chorus, the call and response, the layered vocals, if the diverging melodies on 'ass on the floor' was a heroin this is a fucking speedball

like, can someone else say something nice about "Someone To Love Me" so I don't feel like a weirdo about it
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 10 January 2011 18:32 (thirteen years ago) link
i like it a lot, although it never feels like a standout because it's surrounded by songs i like more
― some dude, Monday, 10 January 2011 18:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah.
― flutes & fucking mexican death horns (The Reverend), Monday, 10 January 2011 18:34 (thirteen years ago) link
one of my favourites - actually disproves the line that diddy hands over vox to others so much because he's incapable of carrying the album, because he pretty much carries that song with some of the best (and oddest) lyrics on the album (apart from dawn's kinda amazing chorus - love how she deliberately mimics an old blues sample, feels incongruous but fits perfectly)
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Monday, 10 January 2011 18:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I said it on the original thread: it's my favorite Diddy rap in years. In a couple of spots he even apes Chuck D's post-1994 intonations (thinking specifically about "He Got Game").
― Gus Van Sotosyn (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 10 January 2011 18:36 (thirteen years ago) link
I always just assumed that was a sample.
― flutes & fucking mexican death horns (The Reverend), Monday, 10 January 2011 18:36 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah thats one of the best tracks, maybe my 2nd fav after ass on the floor
― ciderpress, Monday, 10 January 2011 18:37 (thirteen years ago) link
it may well be a sample, i haven't seen proper credits yet, but dawn sings it in the video

Top 3:
"Ass On The Floor""Shades""Hate That You Love Me"
Also love "Angels" actually, though the Serani version is better I think.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 12 January 2011 02:05 (thirteen years ago) link
wtf @ "shades" love - i mean it's not unlistenable, and justin's verse is kind of mesmerizing even if it's objectively evil, but of all the songs??
― fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 12 January 2011 02:08 (thirteen years ago) link
90% for the "Woah!!!! What you gonna do when I'm perfect for you??" multitracked pinnacles. But I do love JT's sub-Drake verse too.

It's kind of the most Last Train To Paris moment on Last Train To Paris.

"Shades" is dope
― flutes & fucking mexican death horns (The Reverend), Wednesday, 12 January 2011 02:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Shades is fun. JT's grocery bags are at least forgivable because they aren't done in earnest as a serious rap. whereas Drake/Weezy/kayne and company I can picture leaning back and going "whoAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" after every hashtag they toss out
― mavisbeacon666 (San Te), Wednesday, 12 January 2011 02:44 (thirteen years ago) link
'someone to love me' is dope is that the one whiney liked
shades is A+++

"shades" is awesome -- great production & chorus

i listened to this in my car today & noticed that everything is mixed pretty perfectly except for "coming home"

i was kinda http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_leftkrHJkw1qf8yek.gif @ critics being all "lol he says he'll fuck you on marmalade!" about "shades" -- a symptom of ppl refusing to see diddy as an actual artist

lighten up -- the marmalade thing is hysterical and a huge part of why that song is good
― men are from mars, bruno has no penis (some dude), Thursday, 13 January 2011 03:13 (thirteen years ago) link
the dirty money verses are my favourite things about "ass on the floor", i think - i love the tension, that slightly drunk "i'm about to do something really fucking stupid" feeling (which turns out to be giving her soul up in that super-pretty bridge)
also the slight shift from "now i'm drunker than a motherfucker, tryna find my way back to your heart you motherfucker" in the first verse to "got me madder than a motherfucker, tryna fight my way back to your heart you motherfucker" in the second is perfect
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Thursday, 13 January 2011 10:52 (thirteen years ago) link
are dead prez in the credits for "hate you now" or did diddy just thief the "hip hop" beat, incidentally? (think it works really well whichever way)

and when the lights fadeblue lights they turn to greybitch you don't love me no more
