**the-dream terry nash love king the-poll**

But Make Up Bag has those amazing watery organ noises whereas the music is the worst thing about Panties To The Side. WFY has awesome momentum, Panties To The Side just waddles along awkwardly.

"panties" is aight but the other two are a+ terius classics xp

i said this when the album came out but stylistically "make up bag" is more in the "i luv your girl" lineage than the other 3 i mentioned - each is not among the strongest songs on its album and sort of fucks up the flow, but each sounds better outside of album context. "i luv your girl" >>> "make up bag" tho

Yeah, I don't quite love "I Luv Your Girl" on the album, but it's prob my favorite single of his as a radio jam.

"Make Up Bag" isn't as strong tho.

imo it doesn't touch "shawty is da shit!", which is still his best single i think, but yeah outside of album context it works much better

i like makeup bag a lot really

odious lyrical content of make up bag is the best thing about it IMO

haha otm

i dunno, man, a guy who calls himself 'the love king' writing a song with that kind of bullshit advice while his wife's pregnant/at home with his newborn just crosses the line for me from oh that incorrigible R&B lothario to ugh fuck you scumbag

do we need to do this AGAIN?

six, seven, twenty elevenn...so hes droppin 2 new tracks today?

listening to lk in sequence this morning, forgot how much i loved the > btwn fila and sex intell

voted florida university for its appropriately cheap bounce

dam the dudes on that kanye msg borad are counting down the hrs; they say the tracks drop at 3 pm est

kanye dudes : "yamaha" :: ilx dreamz0rs : "fast car"

"Turnt Out" because I expect "Yamaha" can take this.

still 'turnt out' - clear, cute, concise and only looking at himself in the mirror out of the corner of his eye rather than face-on

lmao @ k3v's gif upthread btw

game recognize game

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

wow upset

this is almost perfect!

Great result

id switch abyss w/ veteran & can abide w/ fila-yamaha 1-2

very close to how i'd break things down. not so big on "yamaha" as most, but i get why ppl like it.

didnt realize 'fila' was so huge

Have you heard it?

it's def in my top 3 and i might've come closer to voting for it if t.i. was on the album version, but anything besides "yamaha" winning reeks of contraristanning imo

lol nope never heard it

See, that's crazy to me cos while i love Yamaha, i just don't appreciate it on the gut level that i do FILA. I can admire Yamaha from a distance but FILA just hits my pleasure centres every time. xpost

huh im the opposite w/ those two

the-dream is v v good at hitting those pleasure centers tho for sure

i love "f.i.l.a." but would never have picked it as the most likely to upset "yamaha"!

find it fairly amusing f.i.l.a. wins when make up bag was deeemed somehow offensive or "odious" by a few people. pretty sure "quiet woman i bought you a make up bag", as offensive as that may be pales in significance to pretty much the entire f.i.l.a. lyric. dumb and all as opening that can of worms is anyway.

i find it funny that any of terius' songs are being judged on offensiveness at all, the man has always been a cad

yeah exactly. i hardly think "oh look at his horrible habit of buying 5k make up bags to stop his gf suspecting he has cheated" is the sudden appearance of a monster we never knew.

his caddish tendencies are always balanced out by his inadequacies in any case. "make up bag" is a massive faux pas, and indicative of a man with no clue about how relationships work, which is why it's funny i guess? but it's not that great a song, relative to the rest imo.

I love the-dream in lovestruck mode, but find his "how to be a playa" tunes mostly off-putting. "offensive" may be the wrong word.

i was WAY more off-put by almost all of Usher's Confessions. it's almost as if he set the groundwork for Chris Brown years later -- "here's how to spin something hurtful you did to someone else and make it all about you!"

(but I still like the album)

is terius ever really lovestruck? more often luststruck, surely, and that fits pretty naturally with the "how to be a playa" side of things

i mean, how often does he actually get starry-eyed about a girl's personality as opposed to her titties like woo-oo-oo, her booty like woo-oo-oo.

yeah exactly. i hardly think "oh look at his horrible habit of buying 5k make up bags to stop his gf suspecting he has cheated" is the sudden appearance of a monster we never knew.

that's a pretty loose characterization of what i said about the song and fwiw FILA was never a single so i never really heard it enough to pay attention to the whole lyric and catch the cheating angle of it.

well in the lyrics to "make up bag" there isn't even necessarily a cheating angle. he denies cheating and it's arguably just as much about him being out partying and his wife thinking he has cheated, which obv like in the context of every other song is prob not unreasonable.

i mean yes telling the guys "oh just buy her something" is pretty lame but i've bought presents for gf when i fucked up before, it's not monstrous patriarchy or something. obv if it's a case of "oh there goes another 5k for a makeup bag" that's a bit different but i just think "odious" is a bit strong.

the utterly triumphant "SO SHE LET ME DO HERRR" in fila seems fairly obviously more offputting to me, if i thought about it, but i don't really seek people i morally agree with in music.

luststruck then, and I think there's a big difference in feel between those tunes and the tunes where he's just focused on how great he is.

the utterly triumphant "SO SHE LET ME DO HERRR"

no this is hilarious c'mon

the-dream lines like that are so close to the lonely island's "i just had sex"

Basically anything where the-dream sounds like a kid opening Christmas presents is good IMO.

lol
