that new brandy song is ok

yeah rev well done for spotting another "missy song", that is clearly the salient point there.

looping this right now. pretty special.

produced by J Lack

Lloyd is leaving Murder INC finally so maybe his next album won't flop

btw i'm liking pleasure p's album

but r&b is seriously lame in 2009

second half of the year should be better hopefully

naw, lloyd may or may not continue to have hits, but no one cares enough about him to buy his albums

I do :(

:(

that one lex posted is good but idk im pretty tired of jim jonsin - the second one is awesome tho

this is huge in miami i've been told - kinda sounds like if 2006 akon did a song produced by drumma boy

"no games" is kind of a jam right? i wish the riddim was less abrasive and stilted but i don't mind it being the lumidee/sean paul/kevin lyttle of the summer

btw i think "i'm a zoe" is pretty amazing

yeah "imma zoe" is great... you always post these cool local florida joints that never end up making it national :(

yeah "i'm so high" should've been a huge song - i still get sad about that when i randomly hear it on the radio down there

and "no games" is good but I'm tired of it, they've been playing it OUT for months here... don't know why they brought the showtime riddim back :-\ there's been no hot crossover reggae singles this summer besides "ramping shop" - which is terrible IMO - "no games," and "nuh linga":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWkdLxD-i7I

which makes me kind of sad 'cuz one of my fave things about summertime is the big reggae choons... I'm still playing "Click Mi Finger" like it just came out :-\

urban dictionary weighs in:

Zoe 420 up, 245 down
A person of Haitian descent.

Origin: Miami, Florida.
Quit talking about your Little Haiti connections. Nigga, you don't even know a real Zoe!

yeah - "no games" has been a slow burn getting out of nyc, i see it in rotation in miami and i heard it a few times in stl last weekend - i like "ramping shop" a lot but my only problem is that "miss independent" is probably one of my fav r&b singles of the past few years so idk - "ramping shop" is great tho cuz its super nasty, "kill me with the cocky" or w/e

personally i want ricky blaze to put out a new single pretty soon

"no games" is awful, hate that quivering simpering voice, so sick of that song. i don't follow dancehall at all but the stuff that crosses over to U.S. radio has definitely gone way downhill from a few years ago.

the version of 'romping shop' on a difft riddim is much better than the one over 'miss independent' which is just out of tune. i love it anyway. is 'nuh linga' only just crossing over?! i remember usain bolt doing the nuh linga after winning gold!

sigh i guess this is where i have to be all british and ask what a "zoe" is, then

jordan's put an urban dictionary definition just up there ^^^

whoops. keep missing things in threads lately :/

It's nothing brilliant, not that I expect that of quintegenarians, but I am enjoying the fuck outta the new Teena Marie album.

She has a love song to a "Soldier Boy" o_O

I'll be surprised if Priscilla doesn't blow up...

(um, i'm referring to "dollhouse," not the sudden pr-savvy tone present on her newest videos)

you had better warn the authorities so that an area can be cordoned off around her

"If you can't understand loving the way i am, then you're no good for me, so glad i kept my receipt"

is that the guitar girl from youtube on this thread earlier?

not 2009 obv but the shit that rodney jerkins did for michael jackson is fucking amazing

yes, yes, xpost

Hey...new to this place but I'm sure I've conversed with some of you elsewhere. Anyway let me get things rolling by giving this new Keke Palmer cut a big things up. Her first album actually had some decent moments and wasn't as bubblegum as some might have expected. The last thing I expected of a Disney poppet though was a song inspired by the LA jerk craze. It works amazingly well too.

ugh isn't there some 'lol the state of british popular music' thread you can post that on instead?

I know he's not too popular around here but I'm really loving Trey Songz's new mixtape Anticipation... it's better than both of his albums! All great spaced out slow jams....:
