Best Song on Diddy - Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris"

i love the 81-minute deluxe version so much that i'm kind of salivating at the idea of some kind of insane souped up 3-hour version

^^^^^

I'm kinda sad that I only got the standard version now.

yeah dude deluxe is essential

i'll just d/l the extras

it's just "last night pt 2" and "change" but they're both excellent songs (i know i'm in the minority on "change") and work really well with the flow of the album, the latter especially

everytime I see "Last Night Part 2" i keep thinking Diddy made a sequel to the Az Yet song

if you d/l the extras you should change the track order too

otm

so how is the deluxe 17 extra minutes if there's only two extra tracks adding up to 7 minutes? methinks wikipedia track length=wrooooooooooooooong

yeah i think wikipedia has adding issues

"loving you no more" is the final track on the standard edition? seriously pity anyone who has that but not the real deal deluxe

so how is the deluxe 17 extra minutes if there's only two extra tracks adding up to 7 minutes? methinks wikipedia track length=wrooooooooooooooong

there are 2 tracks added to the main sequence, plus 2 more bonus tracks ("First Place Loser" and "Love Come Down")

btw what do you guys think the worst track is? for me it's either "Looking For Love" or "Strobe Lights"

i've been trying to bait people into having this discussion for a min now actually

for me it's any of the 3 songs with wayne or drake, though "strobe lights" is redeemed by its final minute, which i love. "your love" does nothing for me, either

i always think i'm not into "Your Love" when it starts and by the end i'm like holy shit this is amazing

imo "Loving You No More" is so good that not even Drake can ruin it

"your love" improves as it goes on and is not awful strictly speaking but i really hate that beat, got to be the weakest on the album

"your love" is really strong imo, i love the tension of the beat - reminds me of omarion's "i get it in" and the dirty money girls slay on it.

IMMA PUT IT IN YOUR FACE BOY AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP
I KNOW YOU WANNA HIT IT, WANT ME TO BE YOUR LITTLE SLUT

worst track is "yesterday" fairly easily. i have the standard edition track listing and the bonus trax as free-floating mp3s and am happy with that, the album isn't actually out in the UK yet.

it's missing about half the bass from "i get it in"

the opening & underlying plink-plunk percussion just puts me off, such a out-of-place played sound on an album like this

reminds me of "turnin me on" more than anything and i never really liked that song all that much so

i love "turnin' me on"!!!!!!!

coming home reminds me of empire state of mind only worse. yea yesterday is also p bad

ha i know you do, and so does ship

"coming home" is kinda saccharine like that johnny, yeah, but diddy's rapps are ok, even dare i say touching, so it gets pass from me

don't get the hate for "yesterday" unless yall are just kneejerk breezy hating

btw what do you guys think the worst track is? for me it's either "Looking For Love" or "Strobe Lights"

"strobe lights," yes -- i love lil the vocoder part at the end of "your love" -- kinda wishing they had integrated that more into the song

i'm not a huge fan of "love come down"

well that's a bonus track on the deluxe version that's not even an option in this poll.

original "Angels" single version would easily be my least favorite song out of this project, but the synths on the remix redeem it somewhat.

i love "love come down" and am actually disappointed it's not on the main album - hate the recent trend for artists/labels to disown underperforming lead singles

^^^ Was just thinking that yesterday. It really encapsulates that air of lack of self-confidence about pop music these days, like, "oh we thought this was good but if the public doesn't take to it we're gonna assume the crappy track we'd red-marked "album at best, outtake possibly" is better".

"massive attack" vs. "your love" GRRRRRRRRRR

i mean ultimately it's also the fault of all the appalling people without taste who actually made "your love" a success instead

"Massive Attack" was the example I was thinking of actually, w/r/t a bounty post on Nicki (though not on "Massive Attack" itself). Especially given it was such a "statement" first single, and then it's not like they're entirely pretending that side of her doesn't exist.

i was wondering what you actually thought about nicki, don't think i've ever seen you post about her!

i voted for "massive attack" in my p&j which was a STATEMENT of sorts

given the amount of bonus trax you'd think they could've at least have dumped it on pink friday at the end

there was also ciara's "go girl" in the fantasy ride era, which underwhelmed me as a single but finally grew on me at around the time i learned it was being purged from history, stalin style

Haha with Nicki it gets actively 1984. We were always at war with Eurasia!

wtf @ all this 'strobe lights' hate itt

so how is the deluxe 17 extra minutes if there's only two extra tracks adding up to 7 minutes? methinks wikipedia track length=wrooooooooooooooong

which version is this? the amazon deluxe one I got didn't have either of these tracks. looking now, the itunes deluxe has first place loser but not love come down.

smh @ amazon

"strobe lights" is v.great

"I know" is the worst song imo

yeah - I mentioned this in the other thread but the opening weezy verse is so ruthless xp

nah it's got plenty of ruth

weezy parts are just ugh and the beat sounds like a less catchy version of "the way i are"

The physical deluxe version does not have either "First Place Loser" or "Love Come Down".

But yeah basically hating iTunes right now for making "First Place Loser" Album Only. Fuckers.

"Strobe Lights" was the exact moment of my first play that I freaked the fuck out about how good this is. Worst song is "Loving You No More".

Apparently J. Cole wrote "Coming Home"?

jcole would make a great ghostwriter

wrote the rapps?

i've said this before but i wish drake would cease all rap music & just do r&b for himself/other ppl

i've said this before: NO

"first place loser" is kind of really, really great

the intertwining melodies on the chorus, the call and response, the layered vocals, if the diverging melodies on 'ass on the floor' was a heroin this is a fucking speedball

those synth...woodwinds! fuck it, idk!

I'm gonna make a deluxe deluxe edition of this poll, you watch me

wrote the rapps?
