Rolling R&B Thread 2008

This beats the shit out of anything on his second album.

new lloyd/wayne collabo is lazy and kind of awful

although the opening few bars of waynes verse are kind of great i think

guys this 'single again' remix with lil wayne/plies/ross is so ridiculous

http://www.zshare.net/audio/86450827c86a01/

this chorus still kills tho

also plies opening line is "DAMN RIGHT I CHEATED" surprise surprise

rick ross singing about relationships

jeez so wayne is even on the remix to the song about breaking up with wayne?

girl i'm healthy / girl i'm lying / girl just help me / help me fly / but what flight are you on / you might not be talking about me in this song!!

^ should really know better but i be entertained anyway

(sns scriptwriters can we have a nivea beatjack next with the-dream busting back after, kthnxbye)

feel really bad for nivea these days, first bighead dream divorces her and now how's this for a slap in the face

fuming

not feeling that ne-yo at all, something overslick and nasty about it. also being called 'closer', you tend to imagine that's his alltime favourite film (or better yet no, he totally prefers the play). oh ne-yo!

Yeah, I could totally picture Ne-Yo and Panic At The Disco bonding over shitty movies they all love after some award show.

probably his fave joy division album too, let's face it

cherish song is aight actually, between this and the 'killa' video they might well be the lone standing standard-bearers of edgy boss bitch 00s r&b. maybe. not quite convinced yet though. "but in my true religion / i'm so far from pigeon", haha good work dream

jayms madison just feels so post-ryanleslie bedroom internetty that i'm not sure it's even worth repping for however well put-together it be

enjoyed the lloyd, no great shakes but it is pleasant to me. 'how we do' kinda getting critslammed huh? not sure i quite get the nuance of what people are wanting from him tbh

ashanti, whatevs

http://www.zshare.net/audio/8874598e6fbc68/

it's the u_unit

sick of talking about the guy but fyi dream lovers come and rescue his very slight remix of 'touch my body'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2gpBVhTwjI

(really hate the actual vid to that song btw, totally the wrong tack to take)

haha now excuse me while i go talk about him again on the other thread

yah wtf @ that "remix"

mightve been awesome if he'd kept going and widescreen unfolded it a la 'ditch that' with loads of echoplex'd harmonizing and whatnot, bass booms and claps all coming back for the crescendo

i phoned polow and he agreed

all remixes in 2008 should have plies on em acting a fool, i decided

DAMN RIGHT I PUT THAT ON YOUTUBE
DAMN RIGHT I AM UNHYGIENIC IN THE CLUB
SORRY BITCH I LEFT THAT UMBRELLA ON THE TRAIN
LOL MJB U OLD

etc

haha

loool

song id? has akon on it, but not akon's song I don't think, refrain is something like "girl, stop showing off". That's not it at all, but that's it at all, but that's kind of the gist of things.

i think this is it rev: rolling US charts 2008/talk about "pop" here

Thx for being able to make sense of my garbled post. That's it. I guess Colby O'Donis joins Oneal McKnight on the Irish r&b singer list. Speaking of whom, screw his label for adding Greg Nice (!?) to "Check Your Coat". All 'spect to him, but dude fucks up the song.

random thought: "Hypnotized" is one of those potential monster summer jams denied its destiny by being relegated to the winter.

Brandon Hines new single... there's been lots of hype about this guy and he's gained a pretty big following off of his indepently released album Love Music. Now he's on a major.. really talented dude.

he's like trey songz without the rapping and the annoying vibrato.

also, my girl Jazmine Sullivan is going to be featured on Missy's new album. Should be great, their previous collabos are awesome. Especially this one whenever her debut comes out it's going to be GAME OVER.

luda on the "like you'll never see me again" remix :D

http://www.zshare.net/audio/7654186945e312/

really like the original too

no one annoys the shit out of me but this broken/strained voice she's got going for her is really working

http://www.zshare.net/audio/8954276644ef16/

new ne-yo lolz w/ rihanna... can't quite decide if i'd rather beyonce irrreplaceabling it as so to tug on heartstrings or if ri-ri's deadpan is just the minor job

also dammit al, putting ne-yo and p!@td together really is proving hard to get over all of a sudden

grab your clothes and get gone
- you better hurry up!
before the sprinklers come on

= winner

aren't Ne-Yo and Panic both from Vegas, too? worst episode of MTV My Block ever.

you know, I'm actually starting to respect Rihanna as a singer (which I probably should have started doing a year or so ago)

mightve been awesome if he'd kept going and widescreen unfolded it a la 'ditch that' with loads of echoplex'd harmonizing and whatnot, bass booms and claps all coming back for the crescendo

or had a quick go on donkey kong country underwater level, whichevs. sort of impressive sultry stab at a vague bamboo-panelled eroticism i guess but it's no ciara 'get up' rmx or anything really. hm.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9y_j-hHjK4

oop, this is the link u want actually

what is "bamboo-panelled eroticism"? does it involve happy endings?

http://www.zshare.net/audio/96281269744fcf/

we heard this? Charlie Wilson, "Let It Out"

I like Wilson having a context to funk it up, but I'm not sure this is the right one.

weird hearing his voice thru all those effects

cool song tho

Glad I heard that Grind Mode song from upthread that I forgot about again.

I was quite wary coming in because of the title, but "Google Me" is great, especially the "You ain't nobody/ you better ask somebody" bits. She sounds a lot like MJB.

ok the Cheri Dennis album. yes. very yes.

(all the insight I have right now)

lol you are always so late

never said I wasn't

nothing wrong with being late don't take offense lol

guys what's this like

kinda like the cassie album except with someone that can sing

(the tradeoff being that there's nothing nearly as astounding as "Me & U", but better overall)

so like a buncha slick electro?

not electro per se, but definitely slick and bright. Dennis, as a singer, is very sweet.

anyway some new(ish) shit i've been listening to:

lil ronnie - addicted

lloyd & lil wayne- girls around the world (this song is SO FUCKING HOT... on some throwback early 90s shit)

cherish - amnesia (very destiny's child-circa 'writings on the wall')

dwele - i'm cheatin

nina sky - secrets

also, estelle's album is pretty good. only listened once tho.
