Thicke: Slicke or Dicke?

Nah, i've been playing this album pretty often at dinner parties (hate me now) and it's goen down pretty well. The two are pretty different. Thicke has a whole ballroom / light latin feel.

Yeah, I've noticed his penchant for bossa rhythms.

his first album is totally underrated. i think i'm the only person i've ever heard of who liked it.

if i was a girl and a dude invited me over and put on this album i'd run away as fast as i could, i mean how can you even listen to 'teach u a lesson' without being really creeped out? it's vile!

almost every guy i talk to couldn't care less, but ladies love this

i dont know about that particular song tho, i'd have to listen again

'i need love' is the office fav

(My previous post was prompted by his BET performance, which was pretty much the definition of "weaksauce".)

also his voice is kinda weak live. saw him at the jazz cafe a while back. the girls ate it up cos of that song everyone loves (i like it too) but other than that, the albums kinda soporific.

Have you guys not seen the performance of "Shooter" on the Tonight Show? He kicked asssss! Lil Wayne, too! They were unstoppable.

I found it

that song stands out in a bad way on the album

yeah I've softened on my "Shooter" hate slightly but it's still horrible in the context of Tha Carter II (unless you mean on the Thicke album).

Hearing "Oh Shooter" (not "Shooter") makes me really want to check out his first album. I really don't get why people love the Wayned "Shooter" so much. They took what was already a great track and in the most artless way imaginable added Lil Wayne dropping Diddygrunts and a verse about how homosexuals are keeping him off radio. Once I heard the original I felt no desire to go back.

hah i meant horrible in the context of the thicke album, i thought it worked well in the carter ii where he was doing beats that were kind of all over the place from 'receipt' to 'fireman' or whatever (although i don't really need to hear it again or anything)

i hadn't heard the original when i heard the wayne version and i also love that donna summer/digital underground/soulja slim bassline

i dont like hearing lil wayne in an otherwise graceful/classy candlelight romance context

Wayne sounds fine on "All Night Long."

If Wayne's verse didn't already confuse what "Shooter" was about, the video adds fucking wacky neighbor hijinks. There's a reason this flopped.

i think i like the song pharrell wrote best. its the most fun and funky in any case.

what song did pharrell write?

'teach u a lesson' is weird. Lyrics are kind of :-/ :-/ :-/

i'm down with the production aesthetic tho, and the vocals are cool, he knows how to not push his voice to hard, let it just sort of sit there

but yeah lyrics on that one are pretty wack

i agree that wayne is much better on 'all night long,' its like a standard R&B guest verse! less corny wayne showboating

lol posting about love songs alone on a fri night :(

hah i just had a holy shit moment when i realized that i had totally seen the video for his first single back in the day and been sorta o_O about it, totally didn't realize it was the same dude! what a shitty haircut!

Robin Thicke has been around for quite a while (he was writing kinda big pop songs in the 90s)

And "Shooter" haters are ridiculously wrong! It's insane and awesome...my fav. single of last year!

banger!!!

4 on the floor B-D

only in the intro. the rest is hot shit.

u rite

the intro is the best part, but im sorry this track has the built in dna of a "hit" written all over it. cue summer club anthem

i like that it opens w/ bongos + 4 on floor, good for mixing

yeah and that intro disco bassline w sweeping strings is a nice touch :)

i just drunkenly bought this on itunes. it's gonna make a great brass band tune.

haaa
u dudes performing again in chicago soon?

probably not until the fall unfort. going on euro tour this week. we're doing <a href="ABC's "Iesha": Classic or Super Classic?;>this song </a> now at least.

fuck

I always forget how o_O the lyrics to "Lost Without U" are.

I always thought those Tahiti Village ads were hilarious.

"Who know? You might start up a little romance"

stand by my defense of this lp

I might listen to nothing but Robin Thicke in 2012.

omg robin thicke's wikipedia photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Thicke

in which he looks like a composite of keith olbermann and rachel maddow

lmao rev

man msnbc u

thicky

apparently it's the only thread about him here.
new video is fun although very misogynist (but Emily Ratajkowksi is great)
The song, not so much and Thicke's singing is just awful !

R&B 2013

poor Robin, doesn't even deserve his own threads !

I know its offsides and lamentable to laugh at your own shit, but I truly enjoy the title of this post, only to discover that I penned it. Oh, I slay me.
