Electrik Red- How to be a Lady Vol.1 Terius 'n' Tricky make girl-pop magic

now that's how to be a lady!!

what does "drink in my cup mean"? I have been wondering this for SOME TIME

I'M THE SHIT

WITH THIS SHIT

Really, an ideal version of "So Good" would contain both "ooh...*gasp*...damn" and "I thought I really wouldn't give a fuck/ but now a bitch all in love"

^^^

I don't really like swearing in pop music because it makes me embarrassed to sing along

wth

i could see being embarrassed to be singing along to like..... "what's your fantasy" or something but otherwise

plax u are a weird dude

apparently "So Good" isn't Tricky Stewart, it's some guy named Sean K

Ah so there was a reason I hadn't noticed "I thought I wouldn't really give a fuck" prior to listening to the album version.

"So Good" is just A+ songwriting, every single bit of it.

I don't mind the ooh/shit/damn bit, if only because the "shit" carries so much ambivalence - like is she saying it because she's pissed off or because she's being serviced right at that moment? And, if the latter, then it must be really good to make her start swearing like that.

Whereas the use of the word "Rockin' That Shit" seems more pointless to me - it's just a general stand-in word in that context.

it should be noted that P is for Power, the U is for Used to, cause my P better than that P that you used to

los da maestro is amazing, "friend lover" sounds so timeless to me

one S is for Superior, one S is for the Sex

"devotion" sounds like aaliyah to me

the Y is for YESSSSSSSSS............vanilla!

now I need to go back and read everyone's comments on all this awesomeness

every song on this album is amazing

OMG the sounds like a volcano erupting if a volcano also happened to be robotic godzilla nemesis during the last 20 seconds of "We Fuck You"

a few of the songs have last great 30 seconds. the "oooh ooohhh oohhhhhh" part on "so good", the "radio kilaaaa" harmonizing on "freaky freaky" - i'm sure there's more but right now i can't think of them

also that part on "we fuck you"

I really love "We Fuck You" now.

CUP/ SIP/ YUP/ YEAUURRR
TWO/ STEP/ STOP/ YEAUURRR

^^^another great ending

This album makes me feel like someone has reached to my pleasure center and just started activating it for their own amusement.

btw, just in case yall were wondering if dream has a fetish or not, the fourth line in "we fuck you" is "i love it when you sweat out my haaaaair"

bridge:

cuz she raised a choosy lover i pick my bones
and it's always my decision to get it ooooon

then the song just grinds itself into the ground

this is one of the main things that reminds me why dream is a genius - his ability to bring lil jon style club sloganeering to r&b but keep it totally weird and distinct to him - the most perfect example being "her titties like ooooOOOOHHH/ her booty like ooooooooooh"

"A-T-L-A-N-T-A-G-A is where i stay" being another

this album makes me turn into a lex style lyrics machine

STEP UP IN HERE FRESHER THAN A MUTHA
YES INDEED IM FLYER THAN A MUTHA
TWO TONE PHANTOM HOT LIKE HELLO
*DIAMONDS ON MY NECK* CANARY YELLOW

these are like young dro lyrics harmonized by girls - it's crazy imo

maybe i just need to hear some brooke valentine albums or something

Would it shock everyone to know that I've never been interested in Mr Nash's fetish (and "Sweat It Out" kinda exhausts it surely) - I just liked the way he sang that particular line so intently on "Purple Kisses".

Just queuing this up now - I predict I'm going to like it more than The Dream's own album. Between this and the Rich Girl record I'm quite psyched about the whole concept of girl group vanity projects from producers.

"A-T-L-A-N-T-A-G-A is where i stay" being another

^^has to be the canonical examplar

now bring you body CLOSER/ pin me to the wall like a POSTER/ tonight's your time so baby ORDER/ now I'm bitin on your body like an OYSTER

it's hors d'oeuvre not oyster

my favorite parts on the album:

LITTLE BOYYYYYYY
DON'T TRY TO SHOW OUT
WHEN UR LITTLE BOYS COME TO THE HOUSE
OR I'LL WALK AROUND THIS BITCH IN MY LOUBOUTIN HEELS WIT MY ASS HANGIN OUT!
AAOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!

I'M HOPIN WHAT U DID AIN'T A FLUUUUKE
CAUGHT ONE BUT I'M TRYNA CATCH TWOOOOOOOO

I'M NOT A STRIPPER BUT I DANCE LIKE THAT
I'M NOT A STRIPPER BUT WHERE DA MONEY AT?
I'M NOT A FREAK I'M NOT A NASTY HO...
WELL I'M LYIN, BUT I'M CLASSY THO
I'M LIKE U I WANNA GET GET GET IT
In THE BEDROOM HIT HIT HIT IT

the last 45 seconds of "Devotion"

THE Y IS FOR YESSSSS.... VANILLA!
IF YOU WANNA TRY, BOY YOU GOTTA BUY!

the beat on "Bed Rest" (mental)

Anyway, like I said in the R&B this is easily the best album of the year so far, and I could easily see it being my Album of the Year... it's kind of an instant classic in my book (I don't think I'm being premature since I've been following the leaks and stuff very closely and was familiar with more than half of the album months before it actually leaked)... I know this thread is kind of a Terius love-fest, and that's understandable seeing as he wrote everything, but I don't think you guys should undersell the importance of THESE ladies singing these songs... they bring a certain swag that I think is unique to them, this sort of grown-woman, boss bitch type thing, which was apparent even in the songs they did before Dream got involved:

The only complaint I have is that "Imma Cheat" isn't on the album and instead it's going to be on Milian's Elope.... I really don't think she has the swagger to pull it off tbh, and it's one of my fave songs by them no doubt:

sometimes i wish i was the sort of person who paid more attention to lyrics - have listened to So Good a few times now and didn't even realize there was any swearing in it!

OMG THIS ALBUM

IS SO AMAZING

xp I know what you mean. Most of the posters on this thread are obsessed with lyrics too. I can know the lyrics to an entire song without actually knowing the lyrics. Just automatic singalonging.

if my body's a club you're my disco ball.... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yes exactly. like i can sing along perfectly to a song when it's playing but ask me how it goes again afterwards and it's all a blank even when i've heard the song 10000 times before. i wonder if there's a name for people who listen to music like this. xp

srsly most of these lines ppl are quoting are really unfamiliar

los da maestro is amazing, "friend lover" sounds so timeless to me
