That's as heated as I've seen Rev! Vivrant thing is controversial!
― the beta banned (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 2 July 2011 16:00 (twelve years ago) link
eh al was just trolling, i dont think theres anything really shocking abt liking vivrant thing as much / more than tribe stuff, nor is liking 'got your money.'

i thought it was in fact a myth that he produced "got til it's gone". still, that.

wow, mind utterly blown anyone could have a strong opinion on vivrant thing let alone a nuclear one

"Breathe and Stop" is the weakest single from that album.
― these goons were made for waka (The Reverend),
On an album with lots of dull shit -- the dullest of his career.
Went with "Vivrant Thing" over "Didn't Cha Know"

Stressed Out holds really strong memories of meeting my wife, so has to be that. Otherwise Running.

"breathe & stop" is great, just on the track alone, steamrolls the (sometimes) weak rapping, just need to ~listen~

Stop the nonsense. We're voting for J Dilla, there's no wrong answer.

Stakes Is High.
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 2 July 2011 23:32 (twelve years ago) link
Love the reggae echo and just about everything else about "Find a Way," so many great lines. I always felt like "Runnin'" never lived up to its chorus and sound, but that's not Dilla's fault. "Stakes Is High" is so funky for being that sour. "Vivrant Thing" never did a thing for me.

those seem like 2 contradictory statements though? or anyway i'm just mad at votes for vivrant thiz

All of that first Tip album is garbage. Utter shite.

the love movement's production is really underrated. some of the best stuff dilla ever did imo. didnt hurt that tribe put their normal engineering stamp on it either.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 10:12 (twelve years ago) link
I despise The Love Movement so much. I tried to go back and listen to it with fresh ears last month but after a fantastic opening track I just feel like the entire rest of the album is ATCQ shitting in my ears; primarily using flat beats with no syncopation was really not my bag at all.
― DJP, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 15:13 (twelve years ago) link
Pulled the trigger on "Vivrant Thing." May be the only time I've ever not voted for Erykah when she's on the ballot.
― ephendophile (Eric H.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 15:30 (twelve years ago) link
i could go for most of these really but i'm voting "got til it's gone" because the weather achieved in that track is something special, i think.
― preschoolin' life (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 15:31 (twelve years ago) link
like every element of the song seems transmitted from a distance? janet's voice, the sample, the bass. the only thing immediate and intimate is the rhodes which is basically predicting voodoo
― preschoolin' life (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 15:34 (twelve years ago) link
I dunno, I'd say Janet's voice sounds very intimate (but not immediate) on that song, like she's telling you a secret.

Listening to the last two minutes of "Drop" and wondering how I didn't vote that.
― ephendophile (Eric H.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 16:38 (twelve years ago) link
i have a hard time thinking of "Drop" as anything but an annoying sample with a schticky video
― hoovers like jagger (some dude), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
tbf music video never gets to the song's denouement.
― ephendophile (Eric H.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 16:52 (twelve years ago) link
So many good choices, but in the end nothing else hits me quite like Didn't Cha Know.
and I think Let's Ride may be the best of those 1st wave of Tip solo singles. As great as the other 2 are, I don't think that big mainstream club bangerz were really the best look for a Q-Tip.
