Dawn Richard's mixtape entitled ATellTaleHeart is available at http://www.dawnrichardblog.com/. Haven't given it a listen yet, but I'm pleased that she refuses to fade into the background. I honestly think she's the hyphen holding Diddy-Dirty Money together.

cool, i actually revived a different thread to ask about that: Rolling R&B Thread 2011

prob would've made an effort to interview her when she was around here if her rep had given more than 7 hours notice

"villains!” i shrieked, “dissemble no more! i admit the deed! — tear up the planks! — here, here! — it is the beating of shyne's hideous heart!"

.... it better be that anyway. d/ling now.

surely the victim would be D. Woods or Donnie Klang

cassie, let's face it.

k just flicked thru this, highly impressive, i give it an 8.75 with a 1 point each-way leeway

this kid cudi/david guetta song that i hear on the radio all the time now starts off sounding like "i hate that you love me" (tho more housey & less jazzy) & even tho i like the song it just makes me sad that i'm not listening to dirty money

Lex's review of this album is very very excellent:

http://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/music/diddy-dirty-money-and-the-tunnel-of-love

The end of 2010 saw the ILM peanut gallery go into apathetic overdrive at Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - an indie-proclaimed work of genius made by a more established than Cassie, critically approved auteur figure. Such was the narrative of the gallery's nebulous personal Randian ubermensch "aesthetic" that the meaning of what it sounded like seemed a secondary concern, and the album's plentiful merits were overlooked. GOSH.

just playing :)

but still, while i think matt dc's specific textual arguments contra last train are misguided i think his instincts are right in that - theatre or no theatre - there's an failed emptyness to this album that's equivalent to that of the self-pitying kanye's. different, but equivalent. it's a very superficial rhetorical binary jump-off imo.

:-(

i still love it though? none of that should be read as contradicting my love for this album. but i have to make that point if the kanye comparison's really going down in ilx lore. (and i've also come round to the kanye since my early impressions, if that's what's misleading.)

also, contraristanning the contraristanning is another long-established tradition of the ilm peanut gallery

No

contraristanning

Vampire Weekend's latest twelve-inch mix collection.

don't tempt fate

rest assured i don't disagree with you for the sake of it.

I prefer the verb "contrastan", "contraristan" is the province from whence the practice emerged.

the original coinage was "contraristanning" as a verb though: POLLow da Don

Will defer to yr research skills on this one.

lol well i remembered it pretty clearly as a landmark moment in goon language, but i wanted to look it up to be sure before i spoke

I was there, when j0rdan s accussed r|t|c of contraristanning.

or accused rather.

it wasn't j0rdan!

it was me yo, that's my word

lol

oh haha i thought tim meant in this thread

Well obviously it's always gonna be someone accusing the tribal chief of contraristan.

:D

hm wonder what kind of mixtape that'll be, could be cool

even if it's just the outtakes Diddy's been talking about plus all the remixes that have been coming out of songs from the album it'd be pretty worthwhile

feb 14 2014 right?

Terius & Tricky remix "Ass On The Floor"

if i heard this first i would have fallen in love with it in an instant, but i need those "pon de floor" drums

Sometimes in life, you just have to say "awww yeeeaaaaahhhhhh." This is one of those times.

oh wow, this remix.

Oh wow. I miss the pon de floor drums but goddddddamn.

Looking forward to the mixtape tomorrow.

really? this seems flat and pedestrian and by-the-numbers to me.

well it's by-the-numbers tricky; tricky is a pretty awesome producer though

"i hate that you love me" gets a video

That stream is impossible to watch.
