music 2009 poll 3: (my mans) trey songz singles poll

fuck "say ahh"

"bottoms up" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "say aah"

like "say aah" is the kind of song you don't mind hearing ever but don't think about other than that, "bottoms up" is the kind of song you get a bit compulsive with.

last third of the album is amazing btw

and minaj >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fabolous in every sense - i think there may have been maybe two fabolous verses over the years that i want to listen to again? can't stand his boring monotone voice, he's pretty much been my least favourite rapper of any stature for the past decade

Fabulous has done guest raps on so many tracks I flat
out adore that I end up liking his raps by default.

Was surprised by how much l love the drake track on the
Mmts album.

'unusual' you mean? what do you like about it? even irrespective of how it doesn't work on the album i would still think it easily the worst thing on there.

"unusual" is really good, i thought - how is it out of place? it fits in perfectly with the ebbs and flows and drifts and drama of the last third.

yeah i tend to take a holistic view of the album rather than portioning it out to suit my r&b aesthete div needs. spoke of this at length on the rolling thread.

oh well

do feel a little out of place round here not repeating my meagre thoughts endlessly.

'unusual' you mean? what do you like about it?

I think just the two note string riffs, pretty much! They really make it IMO (as a side-benefit rescue the post-"1 Thing" drumkit-falling-down-the-stairs beat).

I don't like it as much as "Blind" or "Can't Be Friends" say, but I'm a corny fuxx who always falls for tunes like those so that wasn't at all surprising.

lol rtc

uh the offensively inept stylings of boi-1da rehashing 'over' again do not constitute any post-'1 thing' anything you heathen! how very dare you.

agree about the other's merits but are you a corny enough fuxx for 'please return my call' also?

hahaha oh 'pain (interlude)', how could ever i forget you.

uh the offensively inept stylings of boi-1da rehashing 'over' again do not constitute any post-'1 thing' anything you heathen! how very dare you.

Inept, yes, but I wouldn't think offensively so (then again I successfuly avoided "Over" so...). As I said, I'm surprised I really like it - in part because yeah it's a kind of nothing song with a kind of bad beat. The strings really lift it though I think.

agree about the other's merits but are you a corny enough fuxx for 'please return my call' also?

Yes, though I'd say that's less corny (though more in line with industry-standard corniness I guess).

oh wait it's "unfortunate" that i really love! i like "unusual" - and indeed drake's verse - more than i thought i would and i don't think it's out of place, just wouldn't defend it as much as "unfortunate"

I love "Unfortunate" too but that and "Doorbell" are kinda predictably great. With "Unfortunate" I'd go so far as to say that the arrangement is so obviously awesome from the first second that the underperforming chorus is almost a let-down, but then that underperforming chorus is also kind of the point of the song and I don't know whether it would work with a big break-out moment.

Ever since someone suggested that the harmonies on "Bottoms Up" are "pure barbershop", I always envision a quartet of Treys with canes and pinstripe hats whenever I hear it.

it really, really bugs me in "say aah" how ludacris refers to "patron" as "he"

lol

lol @ boardwalk empire dialogue on anticipation 2

yeah "heart attack" is amazing

that he got with benny blanco and still turned out a midtempo r&b jam is kind of a testament to how trey will never cave to dance pop crossover

lol "Panty Wetter (Interlude)"

good point

i find it really hilarious that this album is called CHAPTER V but the album cover has "five" represented with four marks and a line thru it

haha word

t.i., lil wayne, big sean, kanye west, wiz khalifa, rick ross, j. cole

*wale, 2 chainz see list of guest rappers on album and suspiciously check their spam folders*

haha

last thing: heard "say ahh" on the radio yesterday and it actually took me 30 seconds to realize that i wasn't hearing "bottoms up"

i hear SA on the radio now way more than BU, feels like a much more enduring song

i think i'd still take "bottoms up" only because i detest fab's verse on "say ahh" but yeah the latter is a really great song & sounds even better now that "blame it" doesn't hang over it

I've never liked "Say Ahh" at all, love "Bottoms Up"

"i need a girl" is the best lost jam off of 'confessions'

"i need a girl" would make my 09 top 10 if i could re do it

addicted to this song right now, that dumb little guitar riff is so satisfying. really loving all the 2006-2010 stargate produced singles atm.

stargate had a great run as hitmakers tbh
