rolling pop 2011

yeah the "young folks" whistle threw me off

yeah young folks is another good reference point.

it's a p. inoffensive and ok song but that's all i'm gonna give it.

actually just started writing something about that song since it just knocked Foo Fighters off the top of the alternative singles chart -- really sick of hearing it on the radio (xpost)

yeah its like a song that feels like a bunch of catchy parts of songs that i dont really actually like that much when put together

agreed that in different context it would be a pfork contender

i just heard it for the first time today & thought it was a nice change of pace for white pop stations which seem to oscillate pretty wildly b/w euro house & train/lady antebellum-esque rock

idk im out of the loop on that stuff i imagine it would feel refreshing for me in that contxt but

Pitbull – Shake Señora (Feat. T-Pain, Sean Paul & Ludacris)

hilarious record

can't believe every one of these jackasses was my fave dude in the world at some point over the last 10 years

oh god no

http://hulkshare.com/h6vrcngtt3z3

oh yes

wow

couldnt make it thru

WHY

i guess afrojack's "take over control" is pretty old but i've been hearing it a bunch on the radio post-"give everything to me" (& "look at me now") & it would be really awesome & kinda diva-y if not for being a bit too frankenhouse

haha ANOTHER sample of a song heard in Beetlejuice -- zeitgeist!

your column is already written!

no i'm going to do an anthology of every ridiculous thing Pitbull has sampled in 2050

wish i could go back in time to 2003 and ask sean paul if i gave him a million bucks would he meet me in 8 years with a stupid huge fucking mohawk on his head and go badungbungbungbadungbudungbungbung on my bullshit pina colada novelty record

i'd go back to 2005 & tell him to retire from music after "we be burnin"

wait does he really have a mohawk now

'the trinity' was a p hot record

wasnt into it iirc

s.p has started making riddims now supposedly btw -
p good ones too

'trinity' was a step away from the pop ish but i kinda felt like he pulled that off well
also this was unstoppable

lol sounds a lil dated now but i still like it

ah yeah the ward 21 cut

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTI_aoJO0Uc

this is the only song on the pitbull alb that isn't 'give me everything' that i think is half dece

couldnt tell u what on earth possessed me to listen in the first place but i suffered so here it is fwiw

pitbull: better than nas?

xp lol it is awful btw

Red Foo Vein???????????????

red foo and vein are two separate artistes i'm afraid

Red Foo is the 35-year-old member of LMFAO who is the other LMFAO guy's uncle...Vein is some other absurd person i guess (xpost)

that whole LMFAO thing is too fucking bizarre to even think about

also berry gordy's son

posted that bit of common knowledge cos i only just discovered it obv

wynter gordon's 'til death' came up on this thread a while ago right? i'm into it

haha ANOTHER sample of a song heard in Beetlejuice -- zeitgeist!

was thinking ANOTHER belafonte sample -- zeitgeist!

Despite being a cobbled-together cash-in effort, i didn't think Pitbull sounded that bad on Bon Bon.

i don't know who vein is but this vein ft. pitbull song from a few years ago was great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO9Tz5OpCng

the whole pitbull career arc is the weirdest thing. it's kinda tough to explain how he used to be really good.

i do like "give me everything" though, trust ne-yo to articulate the sense of mortality at the heart of the up-in-the-club aesthetic (one for the memento mori thread?)

also re: cher lloyd, i actually started a separate thread yesterday. i actually think "swagger jagger" is fun but the other songs i've heard are much better and less gimmicky

whole wynter gordon album's pretty enjoyable actually

this kinda insistently pure dance pop is not usually my thing i guess (certainly least not in full-length terms) but i find she's got character

if by character i mean performance chops, latent r&b songwriter craft and a voice similar to gwen stefani's

cher lloyd was fun for 5 minutes i suppose but having her back 6 months later with this cobblers is just a bad dream

think she might be surprised by how little enthusiasm her general project is met with beyond the weirdo diehards

it'd be nice if it was all just messier and more british

make her sing over forward riddim or something

jojo O_O

"fuck the new girl that's been in your bed / and when you're in her, i know i'm in your head"

she was singing about doing the dutty wine back in 07 i guess

could've chosen a better softsynth preset for that track

well, the beat's from a drake song

wowwwwwww

so much better than the original, which sounds v whiny to me.

JoJo's buzz single btw:
