Justin Timberlake in 2013

how much of this stuff is JT going to chew on

wrong thread, sailor

i'm totally back on the bandwagon for this album

dissed kanye during "suit & tie" performance on snl too

haha how

changed one of the lyrics to "my hit's so slick for rappers acting dramatic"

er, "my hit's so slick got rappers acting dramatic" i guess it was

i can't tell if jay is taking his normal "lol kanye is a nutjob" stance or if he's silently co-signing timberlake

it would be hilarious if this was how a jay/ye rift started

has anyone else heard radio stations cut off the "suit & tie" intro and just start right at the tempo change? an improvement obviously but it's lol that i've heard stations go to the trouble of cutting off that part.

kinda amazed the intro was even put out to radio, seemed an obv album segue when i first heard it, enough so i thought ppl were overreacting in their hatred.

love his hair

fully onboard

i dont even care that it's a straight robin thicke rip... sometimes you gotta admit that JT does thicke better than thicke does thicke =)

maybe... they are just playing the version of the song called (Radio Edit) http://open.spotify.com/track/4mQVHEjrnuUd7G5IVhSYTk

Thicke has like 30 songs in this style that are better

YEAH RIGHT

Robin Thicke has released 4 albums since FutureSex/LoveSounds that all range from good to great

i listened to love after war a few times after the ilm collective gushed over it WHAT A BORE also im pretty sick of him talking to the media about how great having sex with paula poundstone all the time is

preach

thicke is a gross lil dweeb, there's literally nothing jt can do that wouldnt automatically be superior

i like JT but i don't really understand worship of him, he's very very fallible

i mean it's nice to have a monoculture superstar who's more likable than beyonce, but he's never been on some musical level far above everyone else

i wouldnt dispute that

u have misread my emphasis if that was directed at me

JT ain't got shit on Thicke.

eh general comment

i mean i guess the album is out this week so i guess i'll wait and see if the world's regard for JT is still incredibly generous compared to his actual music after that

next week

right yeah

JT has his moments but I don't see him making this automatically superior.

jt would make that one better actually, he'd introduce sense of persuasive playful (but not snl skit) wit

come to think of it 'dick in a box' is probably thicke's career high

That's very nice and all (putting aside the irony of the snl thing) but he wouldn't exactly be able to sing it better.

it doesnt exist in a vacuum of technique tho

True, and I've taken that into account.

i'm okay with "suit & tie" being a very good robin thicke song... i have enough room in my life for that. i definitely don't think that thicke -- as much as i like his stuff -- is on timberlake's level as an overall artist tho

"i have enough room in my life for that"

i do! in fact maybe it would be cool if justin timberlake made a "robin thicke album that america actually cares about"

i can't work out what JT did that inspired j0rdan's bump of this thread

i like thicke BUT timberlake is def the way superior artist BUT not, so far, in this campaign

wel he performed on SNL last night

oh right

yeah, this is p much my opinion

on another note, I just realized the other day how much I love "All Tied Up"

Love After War (ping pong take note) is def his weakest album other than maybe the first tho, which I've never heard. Something Else is his best altho The Evolution of Robin Thicke is maybe his most definitive

The idea of Timberlake being a distinct step up from Thicke doesn't really wash with me. Timberlake is the better entertainer and is infectiously charming but Thicke is the superior vocalist and has a better grasp on the sensuous.

I wish I could unhear Mirrors.

thicke has some jams and his albums are all very solid and he's definitely underrated in a general sense, but dude's not holding a candle to FS/LS or the singles off 'justified'

this is kind of an insane conversation to even have imo

isn't the point that timberlake doing second rate thicke is exactly what's disappointing, given that he's the superior artist?

yeah i think that's a totally valid argument

you made it a hot line, I made it a hot song

Its little more than a matter of preference.
