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

lmao what a bizarre video

still a dope song imo *shrugs*

*low-5 for ter/i/us 2.0*

also said that he wrote 9 of those songs in one day

I hope one of these is 'P Is For Power' because the image of Terius just sitting down with a blank piece of paper and writing the word 'PUSSY' in big letters down the side is just too funny.

in flawless calligraphy

the physical deluxe edition of the album folds up into a pyramid

he said he's started "packaging wars" with beyonce and jay-z and the like

lmao matt

oh cool when did terius sign to mo'wax

What happens with all the songs that were supposed to go on the double though?

i think the album has like 15 songs on it, it's pretty long

I'm usually happy with 12. It was supposed to have 30 though.

pretty glad this album doesn't have 30 songs

tbh i have no real expectations for a new terry album, so i'd actually prefer a longer record where he just dumps out everything he's working on so i can pick and choose my own favorites

you guys don't want to hear a double-disc version of this album, i promise

ha ha
ty for your rundown jordan. i am still really psyched for this, sad there is no kells on it though.

do you have any ontological observations about the real life dream. i just read a review of the listening session that made dream & timbaland sound like the odd couple.

yeah i was not at the one where tim showed up

he opened up a little bit towards the end of ours but it was just a few of us so it was pretty subdued. he's funny though.

What's your main objection to the songs you didn't immediately like, j0rdan?

on some it sounded like he was fighting the songs. like the one with kelly rowland gets really loud for the chorus in an awkward/unorganic way. there was another one like that too.

also on some the songwriting was just kinda weak

but these things are not a great way to evaluate music!

you just sat down and listened to the album start to finish with him and some critics?

he drives you around in his car & you both plug in headsets to the kind of walkmans that have two headphone outs

and then you have sex?

they requested "no swap meet" questions for the interview

the album isn't ordered yet, the transitions haven't been put in & there are some guest vocals still to be mixed (so we didn't hear them)

k.

thumbs up

Yes.

this is a proper banger

j0rdan STOP USING THE WORD "BANGER" TO DESCRIBE SONGS THAT ARE NOT UPTEMPO

i feel like this bangs

properly

jordan STOP USING "PROPER" LIKE YOU ARE A BRITISH PERSON

i'm reserving full judgment til i hear how it plays out over the course of an album proper

but this is like one of those midtempo slinkers like sex intelligent or she needs my love that have never been among my favorite terius songs, but have never been among my least favorite terius songs either

kevin he is not saying this song is a sausage

sad lol btw ;_;

is lex living in the same post-"One in a Million" world as the rest of us?

"one in a million" is not a banger

it's like calling "crazy in love" a ballad, it's just blatantly the wrong word

whoa now

oh nm i misread you, i thought you were saying crazy in love was NOT a sausage

A big part of "One in a Million"'s innovation was that it was a ballad that was also a club song.

"I think when "If Your Girl Only Knew" first came out, people kinda said, Oh, she got a new sound. But then when "One in a Million" came out, the beat and the melody were so different from anything. I was in a club one night, the DJ took it back TEN TIMES, no lie. And this was in the middle of him playing, like, Biggie records and Tupac records, and here goes "One in a Million" in the middle of all this street rap! That's when I said, OK, this is something different--we are going somewhere else, we are kind of switching the sound. "

--Missy

i had literally no idea that "one in a million" was a game changer, why not continue explaining it to me rev

i know you know that, my point is just that they haven't been exclusive categories at any time since

i know that as well, my point was that using "banger" as synonymous with "good song" is just a failure of vocabulary that renders the word meaningless

I haven't heard the song in question yet so no specific comment there but if it goes off in the club it qualifies as a banger to me

WOW this is good

i do use these simultaneously from time to time but this song sounds like a "banger" to me even if it's nto up tempo... it's pretty loud, for instance
