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

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

"IV play" feels like vintage terius to me in that it has like four diff hooks, the funny thing is that the main chorus is by far the least memorable of them all

it's so hilarious to me that he wrote a song about 12 Play and then flipped the title to reduce the cleverness of it

easily the best (or least underwhelming?) of all his recent songs though imo

the verses very 'memoirs'-era imo

it's good but i prefer the nu-FILA "slow it down" to it, to me that's more what dream's all about

i still think the songwriting on that is pretty weak, but yeah this is a pretty overt stylistic exercise

ima keep it real witchu baby you bayyyyad

The August Alsina tape is hardly "random."

Dreamer's been releasing a lot of music that perks my ears lately, but for as good as all of these songs sound, not one of them has been anywhere near classic. It's really frustrating; it feels like his gift is still there, but he just can't close the deal anymore.

that's not a pattern that genius producers have historically fallen into at all!

this is actually the first song off this project i can half-imagine willingly listening to again! certainly the most immediate

oh gawwwwwd jay-z is terrrrible though why is he mimicking kanye's HUHHHH

i KNEW before the outro even happened that it'd be a soft and billowy and nothingy affair purely based on j0rdan liking it, lol

i can actually remember this one after it ended! it's a bit like a third-tier "hit it on the road"

A non-event. No crisis though. But 4Play sounds classic after it.
