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

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?

yeah

i randomly met whoo kid the other day and he is NOT aboard the last train to paris

i was like SMOKE WEED LISTENIN TO SADE!? and he was like no. just no.

ha

i now regret giving whoo kid my vote on let's poll mixtape dj drops

like, can someone else say something nice about "Someone To Love Me" so I don't feel like a weirdo about it

i like it a lot, although it never feels like a standout because it's surrounded by songs i like more

Yeah.

one of my favourites - actually disproves the line that diddy hands over vox to others so much because he's incapable of carrying the album, because he pretty much carries that song with some of the best (and oddest) lyrics on the album (apart from dawn's kinda amazing chorus - love how she deliberately mimics an old blues sample, feels incongruous but fits perfectly)

I said it on the original thread: it's my favorite Diddy rap in years. In a couple of spots he even apes Chuck D's post-1994 intonations (thinking specifically about "He Got Game").

I always just assumed that was a sample.

yeah thats one of the best tracks, maybe my 2nd fav after ass on the floor

it may well be a sample, i haven't seen proper credits yet, but dawn sings it in the video

DON'T YOU KNOW I FUCKS WITH YOU
I NEEDED YOU

Top 3:

"Ass On The Floor"
"Shades"
"Hate That You Love Me"

Also love "Angels" actually, though the Serani version is better I think.

wtf @ "shades" love - i mean it's not unlistenable, and justin's verse is kind of mesmerizing even if it's objectively evil, but of all the songs??

90% for the "Woah!!!! What you gonna do when I'm perfect for you??" multitracked pinnacles. But I do love JT's sub-Drake verse too.

It's kind of the most Last Train To Paris moment on Last Train To Paris.

"Shades" is dope

Shades is fun. JT's grocery bags are at least forgivable because they aren't done in earnest as a serious rap. whereas Drake/Weezy/kayne and company I can picture leaning back and going "whoAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" after every hashtag they toss out

'someone to love me' is dope is that the one whiney liked

shades is A+++

"shades" is awesome -- great production & chorus

i listened to this in my car today & noticed that everything is mixed pretty perfectly except for "coming home"

i was kinda http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_leftkrHJkw1qf8yek.gif @ critics being all "lol he says he'll fuck you on marmalade!" about "shades" -- a symptom of ppl refusing to see diddy as an actual artist

oh i didn't know we had an auto replace -- ilx mods always on the cutting edge of hilarious internet memes

i know right

I can get you mad get you mad
mods
don't understand don't understand
clods

haha until just now i actually thought people were just seriously overusing that gif

lighten up -- the marmalade thing is hysterical and a huge part of why that song is good

the dirty money verses are my favourite things about "ass on the floor", i think - i love the tension, that slightly drunk "i'm about to do something really fucking stupid" feeling (which turns out to be giving her soul up in that super-pretty bridge)

also the slight shift from "now i'm drunker than a motherfucker, tryna find my way back to your heart you motherfucker" in the first verse to "got me madder than a motherfucker, tryna fight my way back to your heart you motherfucker" in the second is perfect

are dead prez in the credits for "hate you now" or did diddy just thief the "hip hop" beat, incidentally? (think it works really well whichever way)

otm

i didn't realize how good the girl parts in "strobe lights" are -- actually underrated this song almost totally

and when the lights fade
blue lights they turn to grey
bitch you don't love me no more
