Is anyone anticipating the new Diddy album?

cool lex emailing publicists

emailing publicists is usually the worst drag ever, just you wait til you have to do it

btw this is another dawn richard song from last year apparently produced by rich holladay

Yeah Yeah You Would remix

I've been listening to the Lectro Black mixtape and it's Diddy talking/sining off key off and on for an hour under Felix Da Housecat music. At one point he sang The Chi-Lites "Have You Seen Her." I don't know if it is good/bad/weird really. However it is interesting to listen to the germ of the LTTP sound/concept. You can listen to the influence Felix had on Diddy. I wonder why Felix did't produce some tracks.

I don't know how sacreligious this will sound but this LTTP era reminds me of Prince's productivity during the Sign O' The Times/Camille/Dream Factory era. So much interesting music led by a man with a huge ego, money and ambition. One of the big differences is Prince can play instruments of course.

"yesterday" gets a video

that video is funny -- gives me a "soldier of love" vibe

also i love how some of the videos for this album are so elemental -- this one & "coming home" take place in barren deserts & "hate that i love you" takes place in the antarctic -- not sure what it means but

anyway, my ranking not incl the bonus trax

i really love every song except the last three, like putting this list in order it was a bit like "whoa, angels is my 4th least favourite? but it's kinda amazing"

"ass on the floor" and all that ice too

this is what i meant -- "hate that i love you" isn't even a dirty money song lol

shit, you know deep down i'll always love ya
tryna fight my way back to your heart, you motherfucker

THIS FUCKING ALBUM

that moment in the second verse of "i hate that you love me" when one of the girls comes in for backing vox on ALL BRAND NEW HERE

haha I read that and immediately knew exactly which part you meant

this weekend i was so obsessed with "Yeah Yeah You Would" that when I was doing a little iPod DJ set of Baltimore club at a basement party i had to drop it in the middle of my set as a quick tempo change just to hear that amazing fucking beat on a really loud system

I still kinda feel danja's beats are too 'put together' - you can see the dovetail joints, it needs a little more fuzz to blur the lines a little

but that rubbery never-ending crescendo, that's magnificent

The first half is so marvelous that I often forget to play the rest. "Coming Home" is such a pedestrian choice for a single.

Ass on the Floor
Shades
Yeah Yeah Yeah You Would
Someone to Love Me
Looking For Love
Angels
Hate You Now
Hello Good Morning
Strobe Lights
I Hate That You Love Me
the rest

yeah the album's a little frontloaded but it gives the whole thing so much momentum that it kinda carries me through the rest. right now though my shit is listening to a shuffled 3 1/2 hour playlist of every song from LTTP, LoveLOVE vs. HateLOVE, and the Dawn Richard solo mixtape.

I kinda felt the same way Alfred but the Looking for Love -> end part really got to me after a while

hello good morning (remix ft rick ross & nicki minaj)

lol @ j0rd being so insanely angered by t.i. saying "captain of the cool kids" that he has to make a special note of subbing in a non-album version of this song

tbh nicki sounds a little on autopilot...well at least the part when she says "and I press the little button on the sit-back chair"

yeah her verse has really nothing to recommend it

i like it. "like 11 hundred horses when i switch that gear, i just swerve on em sorta like i missed that deer" <3

nicki >> t.i. >>>>>>>> rawse

I kinda have, mostly cause its a danja production - idk why but most of his songs sound too 'clean' to me, could use a little more scuzz or something

so which is it, fuzz or scuzz?

;-)

both, obv! xp

also what kinda weird browser are you using that your quotes come out like that

that's how posts appear when you search by keyword

ha the rick ross verse on 'hello good morning' is one of the few i like although i still dont understand how you hide money inside an air mattress. blow really really hard?

it's ok for ross but "hello good morning" is patient zero for my theory that the worst t.i. verse is on par with the best ross verse, which i pretty much believe is true

haha

thoughts on the your love remix with ricky rozay? i think it really beefs up the original which was one of the more pedestrian cuts on the album proper

haven't really taken in his verse but don't feel much inclination to do so, i thought the original was pretty much perfect as it was and wish rawse would go away for a while. video is great though

I've been pretty obsessed with this album for the last few weeks; had been loving "Ass On The Floor" for a while but I've heard "Coming Home" on the radio so much that I wanted to get better how it fit into the album & now I think I get the whole album (not the deluxe version; maybe I should spring for it?).

deluxe version is a must imo

I think I like Love Love vs. Hate Love even more than LTTP

this whole era is really, like, the blueprint for some next level shit

nguzunguzu dropping "sade" at the last night slugs - extended intro and all - is my club moment of the year so far

KICK IT ALL DAYYYY
LISTENIN TO SADEEEE

Diddy--Dirty Money is coming here soon. anybody heard anything about how the shows are (ie, what do they play BESIDES Dirty Money songs, does Diddy actually show up, etc)...

it was just at 1 of the casinos near me, i didnt even know abt it until after it happened; diddy was def there but dont know much else abt it

i went last night. they did most of last train to paris, and then diddy also did an extended medley of portions of older hits and random other bits with dirty money offstage (bad boy for life, mo money, all about the benjamins, a remix of all of the lights, his verse from all i do is win, etc). there were a lot of guest appearances, but i think that was probably just a function of it being his hometown show.

it was great, i definitely recommend it.

Sweet. Need to see if I can make it

so are Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs etc. actually heard on this album? or were their vocal interludes left off? serious question

iirc that was just a preview stream/mix before the album came out

yeah i just listened to it and didn't hear them

'shades' and fauntleroy are classic just for having diddy sing

I’ll do anything for you
I’ll even take off my shades
and stare right at the sun from the stage
(I’ll even try different things)
I’ll even try different things
I’ll make love to you on marmalade
(never made love on marmalade)

I’ll make love to you on marmalade
(never made love on marmalade)

crucial qualification which makes this IMO.

haha xp no i left off the even more crucial qualification later in the verse as the reality of diddy's suggestion begins to sink in

I’ll make love to you on marmalade
(Are you sure thats what you want to do)
If that's what you want to do
