Yeah, this is great. Vonnegutt sucks, though. Love "Tangerine" and "You Ain't No DJ" and "The Train Pt II" a lot. Then again, I thought "The Train" was one of the best (and only good) songs from Idlewild.

also he wrote diddy's o let's do it verse which is the best on the song
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 07:02 (fourteen years ago) link
i haven't heard the "o let's do it" remix because for some reason i just didn't find "feat. diddy and rick ross" all that tantalising a prospect
which "angels", the dirty money one?
can't really remember anyone on "all i do is win", don't like that song much in the first place
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 07:05 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i thought "all i do is win" rmx was really boring at first but i hear it all the fucking time down here cuz khaled works at the big rap station and i've actually warmed up to it -- ross, nicki, busta, jada, fat joe all have pretty good verses considering
his two angels ones are awesome imo -- wish that beat was a rick ross song and not a dirty money song, even tho i can get into it in the right mood
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 07:08 (fourteen years ago) link
diddy has a fascination with ross -- i really do wonder if it's some perverted biggie thing -- they've been on 3 songs together this year already
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 07:10 (fourteen years ago) link
ross mugging in the background while diddy robocroons his verses in the "angels" rmx video is really a treat

Big Grams, the quicksilver collaboration between six-time Grammy Award®-winner Big Boi, and the groundbreaking genre-bending duo Phantogram (Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter) have completed their self-titled studio debut, BIG GRAMS. The eponymous 7-song collaboration will be released September 25th on Epic Records. BIG GRAMS marks Big Boi's first official release on Epic Records, since signing with the label last year. Phantogram and Big Boi collaborated previously on a handful of tracks from Big Boi's second solo album, 2012's Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, namely "CPU," "Lines" and "Objectum Sexuality," the latter also produced by Phantogram. Phantogram have released multiple EP's and two studio albums, which have produced two Top 10 alternative hits, "Black Out Days" and "Fall In Love." The duo is signed to Republic Records.BIG GRAMS TRACKLISTING1. Run for Your Life2. Lights On3. Fell In the Sun4. Put It On Her5. Goldmine Junkie6. Born to Shine f. Run the Jewels7. Drum Machine f.
