6/7/2011, imma drop that body work / fuck my brains out double single (TERIUS NASH aka THE-DREAM, LOVE IV: anticipation and adoration)

Lloyd was actually really good when i saw him live

I think I saw him between Bobby Valentino, Keri Hilson and Keyshia Cole, and if nothing else he was better than Bobby Valentino.

think we must have seen the same tour! iirc bobby v was much more of the showman. i missed keyshia because that's when i was doing the interview.

terius apparently working with tulisa now, huh.

Keyshia's show was surprisingly high-production. Her stage looked like a West Side Story set.

Lloyd has killed it live every time I've seen him.

im glad i went 2 this
got there a lil late cuz of a dumb #letmehelpyouwithyourgirlproblem & he was just finishing falsetto; not sure how many songs i missed
dream is such a ham i was lol'ing so much
he played fancy and said hes never performed it b4
after the awz build to the drums @ the end it turned into like death metal drum fills & dream just strutting it was so absurd

shit, was this in ct?

lol yea dude new haven

damn, where?

he's playing here 2nite but i'm not going

pretty sure he sux live and I hate the venue

toads place xp

duh. gah

i mean, as much as it's possible to perform his songs w/ a live band, it's not that bad

altho they were wanding ppl to get in, i dont remember them doing that when i saw yo la tengo there

YOU USED TO BE ANTI INTERNET

BUT NOW YOU'RE CONSTANTLY BLOGGING AND SHIT

I cannot believe the way these guys write. It’s incomprehensible and downright retarded. Twitter or not, a basic understanding of commas and apostrophes will suffice.

It’s disgusting really.

oh lord

please let's keep beef culture out of r&b

that was the saddest thing i read all month

someone needs to tell the weeknd to kiss the ring imo

I just wish people wouldn’t say things like that, because these days, everybody is influenced by everybody (and let’s keep it real, his first album had so many attempts at the brotha trying to sound like Prince).

Yes! Future Love IV music video, Rakim-style!

Nash didn't name names but Tesfaye got tweet-combative anyway?

Nash just said he was thinking of 4 people. So yep, getting defensive I guess.

6-12 months before they collaborate on a track?

So who are the other 3 he had in mind?

Frank Ocean was probably one. Miguel, maybe and Trey Songz, plus Weeknd.

that's just naming the only four male breakout r&b singers of the past few years

i mean maybe he did actually mean it that way but...

four probably wasn't an exact number

Yeah, depends. Hard to say if it's something he's been ruminating on mathematical-like! Or just in the frustrated general sense...

“I haven’t done a show in close to two years, and ever since then, there’s like four n****s who sound like me now. I’m just being honest. I remember before 2007, nobody knew what to do with this s**t.”

"like four"

It just sounds like kind of a failed brag to me. "I'm super influential. There are, like, four people who sound like me."

Diss silliness aside, though, this concert looks insanely fun:

Gonna have to check this tour out, especially if he's playing "Right Side of My Brain."

0_o that girl onstage during "purple kisses" looks about 14

k somehow got weirder

I know... first time I've seen an audience volunteer look absolutely disgusted to be a part of one of those on-stage seduction routines.

fuck if he's singing "purple kisses" i'm gonna be at that show

That could be you up there, J0rdan!

i'll prob be the only person who knows all the words to that song

lol rme. the girl onstage knew the words!

pretty sure the audience at a Dream show is going to have a sizeable contingent of obsessive nerds

pretty sure i can sing love/hate front 2 back. just sayin

xp show i was at was legit 75% women, with a sizeable contingent of dudes just chillin in the back who maybe had been dragged their by their girl & actively trying to look disinterested

Man. Haven't spun L/H in too long. Time to bust out Purple Kisses and/or Luv Songs.

i'll prob be the only person who knows all the words to that song

understanding this made years of trawling through the-dream's twitter account & scanning terrible don draper jpg strewn messageboards for hulkshare links totally worth it, ty
