ha was going to ask the same thing -- been meaning to revive your LA-sleaze cornball rap production thread to admit that i now grudgingly like The Cataracts stuff

yah 'sweat' is their greatest triumph imo

i kinda like that stupid new boyz song too

"Super Bass" is the easy pick here. Put that on a mix for this weekend with friends at a lake cabin, sounded so great even after multiple replays!

I like the foster the people song
― iatee, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 03:04 (twelve years ago) link
I do too, actually. A better MGMT than anything off their last album. Still nowhere near as good as "Super Bass" though.

it takes some real detective skills to figure out which song bernard snowy was referring to with this gif featuring shots of dj khaled & drake
― dirty deathdrone boys (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 03:10 (twelve years ago) link
it's a small, dimly lit gif, didn't recognize them
― some dude, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 10:33 (twelve years ago) link
anyway "i'm on one" blows, only thing it really has going for it is that it doesnt sound like the last 8 identical dj khaled singles
― some dude, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 10:42 (twelve years ago) link
super bass = 9/10 (loses a touch of momentum after nicki stops rapping)
I disagree with this actually, just because its whole mallpop vibe is so lush.

Of these "songs of the summer," the Adele may be the only one I literally encounter everywhere I go, and on every station. Most of these I haven't heard in passing yet, but the summer is young! That LMFAO video is pretty good, as is the Guetta.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 11:32 (twelve years ago) link
Matt DC otm re: "Super Bass" and I usually hate when Nicki choose to sing instead of rap, which explains why I've detested a majority of her singles so far. I mean, given the current pop/rnb/rap crossover market, I totally get why people want her to sing like Rihanna (or whoever), but when she's got such a commanding control over a unique instrument like hers when she raps, I get frustrated when she's so reigned in. I feel like "Super Bass" lets Nicki be Nicki AND gives up a radio-ready pop hook.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 14:00 (twelve years ago) link
the bridge is the only part of "Super Bass" that i like at all
R&bullshit like "Right Thru Me" is prob more Nicki Being Nicki than anyone wants to admit

i'm not gonna harp on this but calling that gif too small & dimly lit is some grandma shit
― gucci mande (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 16:59 (twelve years ago) link
i guess i am harping on it, but anyway
NOT GONNA HARP on this either again, but "super bass" could only be called lush in the ringtone era, and even that regard it's not really
it is, though! i looked at it for like 30 seconds thinking Drake's dance moves looked like Pharrell's and i was like wait is this "Frontin'"?
― hoovers like jagger (some dude), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:00 (twelve years ago) link
I meant lush in the Britishes sense, ie great.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:06 (twelve years ago) link
really? that's a weird one
― hoovers like jagger (some dude), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
oh, i thought you meant lush in the textural sense
― gucci mande (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
lush in the british, 90s sense - omg forgot we used to use that word like that
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
what a lush strike from rooney!
― gucci mande (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
like "it's good, like that shoegaze band Lush"?
― hoovers like jagger (some dude), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:16 (twelve years ago) link

it doesn't have anything to do with the band lush

HAHA BTW THAT DERULO SONG IS #1 IN THE UK LOL AT ALL BRITS THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT
― gucci mande (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:21 (twelve years ago) link
they think it's pretty lush i guess
― hoovers like jagger (some dude), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:22 (twelve years ago) link
did we mock you when "et" was billboard no 1
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:23 (twelve years ago) link
yes, yes you did
also I know I am alone on this board but I like "E.T."; there is absolutely nothing of value about "Don't Wanna Go Home" except maybe the fact that it ends
― DJP, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:24 (twelve years ago) link
of course you like "ET," it sounds like Garbage (combined with actual garbage)
― hoovers like jagger (some dude), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:25 (twelve years ago) link
ET is one of my favorite songs of the year

voted for katy, but nicki is a close second. i love the britney video, too – but the song, i think, is a little overprocessed.
― remy bean, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:29 (twelve years ago) link
that whole Britney song/video is even more thousand yard stare than her shit usually is, i can barely even tell what it's going for
― hoovers like jagger (some dude), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
i know, i mean it's fine but it just sounds like everything else
― j lol (surm), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
surm and j0rdan, at what point did you cave and start thinking of katy perry as an acceptable pop star?
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
for me it started with ET, and then the first time i saw "last friday night" the deal was sealed
she had some interesting things to say in the rolling stone article
― j lol (surm), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:34 (twelve years ago) link
that's what i think is kind of fascinating about it. i can't tell what it's going for. it's the kind of inscrutable waltz i only like when i'm dancing to it.
― remy bean, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:35 (twelve years ago) link
oh ok i kind of misphrased my qn, i meant what happened to the things you used to think were annoying about her - like i don't think she's changed at all really, what is it that makes her palatable now?
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:37 (twelve years ago) link
well - i loved "i kissed a girl" from the beginning. for me it's about the music, the image doesn't play such a huge factor. and bc i liked ET so much, i guess i was willing to be more open to her in general - and somehow, looking back, california gurls and teenage dream finally clicked for me, whereas they hadn't before. like i've had a few moments when i remember jordan talking about those songs, and now i get it. i dunno, i guess it was just a timing thing.
― j lol (surm), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 17:40 (twelve years ago) link
altho the TGIF imagery def plays a huge factor.
haha you didn't even mention that the verse ends with BECKY BECKY BECKY

anyway, KP & pitbull are pretty much the only two of these that i'll bump in the car -- maybe "i'm on one" begrudgingly
idk
