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

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
― deej, Thursday, 27 March 2008 22:17 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

guys what's this like
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 April 2008 04:36 (sixteen years ago) link
kinda like the cassie album except with someone that can sing
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 04:37 (sixteen years ago) link
(the tradeoff being that there's nothing nearly as astounding as "Me & U", but better overall)
so like a buncha slick electro?
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 April 2008 04:38 (sixteen years ago) link
not electro per se, but definitely slick and bright. Dennis, as a singer, is very sweet.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 04:39 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 04:41 (sixteen years ago) link
most of it sounds more like "Long Way 2 Go" than "Me & U", if that gives you an idea xp
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 04:41 (sixteen years ago) link

hey cassie fans! official girl hat geleaken! now go ahead and count yourselves lucky that it's just karina paisan yoinking it, cos it's not much cop i don't think.
'thirsty', on the other hand, is excellent. love the way the song kinda reflects the sudden dive from glass-of-water plain whimsy into "we could be fully submerged" deep-end murk, and then teasingly back out again.
ryan leslie's valentine song is nice too. i clowned him for being a bit concieted but that and the 'diamond girl' video mightve made him slightly more lovable in an almostic kanyic way.
'touch my body rmx' has also grown on me a lot. like a strange alien mould. what do ppl think it achieves?
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 13:43 (sixteen years ago) link
the other day on the radio a DJ used the "Touch My Body" remix instrumental as a music bed for a few minutes and fuck, that's a pretty great piece of production. rappers (not-Rick-Ross rappers) should be all over it.
R-Lez definitely has the same overachieving dork chromosome as Kanye, although I don't know if I ever would've liked Kanye much if YouTube had been around for him to broadcast his unctuous personality through before he'd even produced more than a couple hits. "Diamond Girl" is great but I think Sean Garrett is once again the horse I'm betting on in the songwriter-turned-star race in light of "Grippin'."

bobby valentino / lil wayne - your smile: 'tell me' rehash; wetters of exotic beds will be pleased. chorus hollers "eeyore!" just as i was about to put it down, so points for moxie i guess.
c-side / keyshia cole - boyfriend / girlfriend: not quite as summer roller teen good as you want it to be, it's aight though! i'll co-sign any and all fake pretty rickies but it's keyshia bringing the breezy what does it really. milf game proper in the video too.
git fresh - booty music: fake pretty rickies like these guys! they used to be called deepside (yes. from the step up 1 s/t INDEED) but have since changed their name for british lolz and the slim hope of def jam treating them better than atlantic. i am bored enough to rep for this song.
paula deanda - marching: this is some noble lip-quivering stoicism all right. i like how they never lose their nerve with the beat. want to listen some more to be sure but put "funerealness" on hold plz.
r kelly - hairbraider: al tell me if this is good, i am not in a kells mood right now.
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 14:11 (sixteen years ago) link
haha i haven't listened to "Hairbraider" yet, i'll check for it tonight. is the hook like a call back to "I Wish"?
― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 14:13 (sixteen years ago) link
why, uh are you expecting the hairbraider to be recently deceased? i think it's like an 'in love with a braider' t-dream sort of effort.
not really into 'gripping' at all. is it making radio waves or something? i don't really know if i like how he's all whiny whilst still looking like if jeezy was your personal shopper

making small waves, I think, enough for me to randomly hear it one day without immediately knowing who it was and being engaged/impressed.
there's a whole vamp at the end of "I Wish" about braiding hair is all I meant! or maybe it was the remix, either way.
― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 14:36 (sixteen years ago) link
oh ok soz, i forget the remix.
i respect the fact that garrett has titled his album TURBO 919!! i probably would too tbh.

can you guess who has titled their forthcoming debut Prom: 2088?
it's an Irish law firm!
it's Romany Malco in Too Legit: The MC Hammer Story!
no, it's O'NEAL MCKNIGHT!

wait what about "Diamond Girl" has anything to do with Timbaland?
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link
that little talk box noise in the verses is basically ripped shamelessly from "pony"
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:21 (sixteen years ago) link
there's a talk box in that song? i need to listen to it later and figure out what you're even talking about.
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:23 (sixteen years ago) link
anyone else know what i'm talking about? "diamond girl" has that same burp-like sound effect that's in "pony"
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link
it has a bassy keyboard run but I never thought of it as a talkbox or as anything like "Pony."
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:28 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah it kind of acts like a bassline right after the little synth line every measure...that noise in "pony" is like the greatest thing ever and everyone knows it
"diamond girl" is ok but I like that Ryan leslie joint with Lex I think better (whoever the hell that is)
― Preview of the Matrix 12, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:30 (sixteen years ago) link
I think it is a bass actually
― Preview of the Matrix 12, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:31 (sixteen years ago) link
whatever the one in "diamond girl" sounds like the really distinct noise from "pony"-- idk what instrument it is. both are awesome either way
