6/7/2011, imma drop that body work / fuck my brains out double single (TERIUS NASH aka THE-DREAM, LOVE IV: anticipation and adoration)

I only had to play it twice before the kids and wife started to sing along to it. They didn't say anything about it being tired either.

"rockin that shit" was unremarkable hmmmmk

haha yeah i raised an eyebrow at that too

it's funny that he starts this new song off by saying "i know they're not gonna play this on top 40 radio" despite that quote from a year or so ago where he was like "i can write a solo smash whenever i want to, that's not what i'm going for right now. i'm gonna do that when i'm 50."

there's also the 'radio killah' that gets sung right before this part

career killah killah killah

imo ppl repping for this song are in denial or fetishizing dream's dream-ness

ok

nah you're straight lying to yourself if you think this is up there with his worst stuff. it pretty undeniably has hooks!

i mean people who stanned for "abyss" and most of love king aren't gonna tell me what has a tune and what doesn't

abyss is so much better than this its not even funny

im willing to buy that for someone coming to dream w/ no context for his work or w/e might have no problem w/ this but you dont even have that excuse

well as i said, it's a second-rate FILA, but give me those over "abyss" or something like "body work"

I quite like the sound of Fab's verse, if not the content

fab comparing himself to winnie the pooh is probably the only worthwhile bit of the track

im not huge on abyss but

abyss is so much better than this its not even funny

is otm

Abyss is awesome wtf

i dont dislike abyss but dream has 20+ better songs imo

but i don't even know how this song is half as good as "Dope Chick"

true

'dope chick' is actually a real lil outlier for terius imo, an agreeable cute radio track that lives for itself (not outstandingly memorably so, but still) and doesnt lean very heavily at all on his mythos

in the absence of any inspiration forthcoming he'd have been vastly better off chilling out and racking up three or four of those instead of putting the tattered pink chanel suit through the sewing machine one mo gin

i never liked dope chick tbh

& actually hearing this in higher quality than i did the first few times, im w/ it much more than initially

aaaaand that'll be deej otm

there is no rational reason to listen to this new one more than 1.5 times

:'{

people get all weirdly out of shape about what dream songs are acceptable to like and idgi. i'm not really into this song but if other people are, that's fine.

^

no other people being into this song is completely unacceptable

if we arent willing to die for this then what will we die for?

the-dream doesn't really warrant a ballot poll of best tracks but i almost wish you guys would do one just to get the endless hair-splitting over his catalog out of your system

:D

lets get this puppy above 500 new answers it'll just be like old times

good news is green is definitely the leading scorer after that debacle

whoops wrong thread

damn i was having fun trying to figure out how it might possibly not be the wrong thread

if we arent willing to die for this then what will we die for?

something other than the narc of sd

deej has basically been the

http://soundsunlimited.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/CheapTrickDreamPol.jpg

since the dude's second album dropped though

hardly

almost every person itt had picked over his catalog song by song

but good to get a vote from the deej police

yeah i don't think it's particularly accurate to single deej out as the dream police, we all probably think of ourselves as the authority on his work tbh

well i guess you'll be leaving ilx then

i enjoyed Roc and quite like Slow It Down. didn't adore Dope Bitch. All of them are worse than Fuck My Brains Out (and I don't dislike Body Work the way some people here do.)

Abyss is one of my least favourite tracks on Love King (also Panties to the Side) but they work in the context of the album and I enjoy Abyss when I hear it on the LP I just wouldn't ever put it on otherwise. Whereas I can see myself listening to Slow It Down a decent amount. Not sure if that makes it 'better' or just more of a single.

i mean obviously none of this compares to imperial phase Terius but after that it's Yamaha and Veteran and about half of Love King and then it's splitting hairs from there.

big difference here is the production which...i dunno. i miss the detail work that we would get from tricky. the broad strokes are all pretty good still but it feels a bit shallower sometimes, is all.

i just mean he was ahead of the curve on Love/Hate and every since then when people talk about his new records he just kind of loudly sighs and stomps his feet

i just mean that al has some kind of passive aggressive hard on for me right now & could do to chill it out

everyone in this thread has ~passionate~ feelings abt dream records

i agree w/ most of that alex. also the dream police thing is cracking me up

sorry sh1pley go hard had a hard on, don't mean to be a dick to you, king penis drake

...

u sound super b-hurt. i dunno what you think ive done to you but chill

i'm butthurt AND i have a hard on? man my social life is poppin

i.... kind of agree with deej on his opinion of this. it seems kinda weak.
