i thought about this, but didn't terius just do production on this, mostly? I was going for stuff where he also handled a fair chunk of the songwriting

In the Wikipedia entry (yeah I know) they don't give the writing credits so I would assume he wrote most/all of it. But then again I don't know Nivea's songwriting prowess. I think it should be included, but I guess you can consider it his Dream Street of his canon. Best to leave it alone if it is not up to par with the others.

Most of my favorite Dream songs both for himself and others are with Tricky.

tricky overwhelms los with his comparatively immense body of work w/ dreamer but los has a better batting average

Not sure I agree with that. I don't think there are any Los tracks that I like quite as much as my favorite Tricky stuff.

Has there been any news of the Dream lately? like I heard that he definitively stated that he won't write another solo album.... but maybe he's changed his mind? was that a publicity stunt ala Jay Z?
Also, my friend and I were discussing this earlier: If Dream were to tour to your town, what would be the most amount of cash you would give for a ticket?
I would pay $100 to see him. My buddy revealed less dedication (or greater financial responsibility?) with $60.
Has anyone here actually seen him live?
― Captain Ahab, Thursday, 20 January 2011 00:53 (thirteen years ago) link
came pretty close back in winter 09 maybe, never seen him live, no
don't really care to tbh
― fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Thursday, 20 January 2011 01:09 (thirteen years ago) link
seen him perform on tv and it was pretty garbage
― some dude, Thursday, 20 January 2011 01:15 (thirteen years ago) link
dont know why anyone would expect him to have a great live show
― *gets the power* (deej), Thursday, 20 January 2011 01:32 (thirteen years ago) link
because people whose full-time career is music, who have the time, $$$, star power and creativity to put on a good live show with appropriate planning/practice, should be expected to do so?

You could not pay me enough to go see Radio Killa Revue.
I would rather watch the animatronics at Chuck E Cheese and play skeeball.

i've played love king a ton this year but i prob played love vs money twice as much in 2009 and would admittedly choose it at gunpoint so

Voted Love vs Money but was real close to picking Memoirs for fear it's getting shut out.

Love/Hate beats Love King solely on the fact that "Fast Car" = the Little Red Corvette of the 00s
― call me mr. flintstone, i can scream at dinosaurs (San Te), Sunday, 23 January 2011 12:52 (thirteen years ago) link
I love "Fast Car" partly because of how much it reminds me of "Little Red Corvette" but it's ridiculous to equate it with "Little Red Corvette"

just saying maybe the problem lies *within u*
it's ridiculous to equate it with Little Red Corvette in terms of impact for sure, given Prince's pop stature versus The-Dream's very moderate levels of success, but in this case I was strictly speaking sonically.

Love vs Money was the first Terius I heard so maybe that colours my view. Didn't hear L/H until after I'd heard Love King so at the moment it doesn't resonate with me as much as those other 2. Never felt the urge to listen to a Mariah Carey album, and didn't much care for the Ciara.
