thread of miguel

was thinking a few days ago that "how many drinks" with miguel's rap verses swapped out for an actual rapper seemed like an obvious fourth or fifth single choice

and that we ended up with kenny and not wale is a small miracle

lol kendrick is going to turn the song into another temperance movement anthem, isn't he

miguel's 'rap' isn't really like a 16 bar thing and it directly transitions into the great variations in the last chorus so i hope they just add the kendrick verse to the song and don't do any kind of swap out w/ that section

also kendrick's wardrobe is getting a little miguel haha

yeah miggy's rap is fine

i mean "that ass is colossal" is one of those things that ends up not really sounding very seductive/complimentary, but the way the spoken bit drifts into the "waste my time/waste your time" bit and then those great ad libs over the chorus is awesome

yeah this is the best part of the song, the entire final 30 or 45 seconds or whatever it is

but it always seemed obv to me that they'd just switch in a real rapper to give it some juice as a single

it's def not a desecration on the level of Wiz on "Adorn" but the way Kendrick bunts songs like "Fuckin' Problems" has me wary

people love his "fuckin problems" verse

yeah I think its a solid verse

yeah me too

kendrick getting outrapped by asap is some "your bodyguard's oochie wallie verse better than yours" shit

hah asap's verse is the 'kill' out of marry fuck kill on that song

you want dih dih???

lmao

i'll never tell

there's not one hot line in the kendrick verse, it's all a bunch of half-hearted almost punchlines. people do like the weird way he says "dick" almost as much as the weird way he says "bitch," though.

lol xpost

you want dih dih???

people love this shit. seriously.

ugh, I roll my eyes so hard at that line

girl i'm kendrick lamar / a.k.a. volcanic to me is lahar

pro tip: make kendrick's lamar a lot weirder by imagining him saying "pampers and threesomes tomorrow"

lol

piss on em all, go potty in the hallway

Has this remix come out yet?

nah only announced

Stirred a lot of buzz for just an announcement. But anyway, Kendrick can't do worse by the song than Jay-Z did to the "BKMV" remix. Cautiously optimistic

lol kendrick is going to turn the song into another temperance movement anthem, isn't he

also lol

aw fuck http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/1556552/miguel-to-release-new-art-dealer-chic-ep-series-this-summer

awesome. i had been low level sulking about the thought that we got like 16 mostly stellar solo tracks from him last year and would probably only get scattered features this year, happy to be proven wrong.

lol "Adorn" is BACK at #1 on r&b/hip-hop airplay after a few weeks of drifting to #2. the song has not left the top 3 once in the last 7 or 8 months.

wau

Makes sense. I hear it on R&B radio at least three times a week on mornings #proud

mig continues making otherwise boring rap&B songs worth hearing:

i really like "power trip" a lot

i like that Miguel makes the most of his tiny half-chorus on that song by singing a distinctly different take each time

A friend recently pointed out the "Kaleidoscope Dream" sample is from the same song used in "My Name Is."

Also I know this has been discussed on the Kendrick thread but phrases like "the new classics" or "future classics" have been hugely bothering me.

oh i thought it was directly from "my name is" (didn't realize that "my name is" sampled any other song), good to know
