does justin bieber actually have talent or does he just get to work with the top producers in the world who make his beats and good song writers?

MFisH · Negus

remember back in college when he sold over 1 million copies for his 2nd album? jeez he fell off hard

6ixty · Young Money

he sold a milli in a short week once. told u to jump off the bangwagon when i did

MFisH · Negus

how great was drake last night! the songs like honorable mentions were not only funny but pretty catchy as well. my favorite was side pieces, just in case you wanna listen to it all day here it is:

6ixty · Young Money

yeah i gotta admit drake killed it. it helps when hes boys with half the people hes making fun of. the lance cam was great, "i got a text from johnny manziel asking if i wanted to do mushrooms and watch the espys tonight", lebron jokes, "youre my boy kaep too bad crabtree cant catch" and even making fun of himself. side pieces and the rest were hilarious and the best one might have been the skit with blake and chris brown.

well done.

MFisH · Negus

I saw parts of the skit, need to re-watch it. I was surprised chris brown was in it but I did some digging and looks like drake and rihana broke up a few months ago so I guess their beef is over. I also heard they were in the studio together so get ready for some hits (music wise not chris brown vs a woman).

as for drakes opening act, I thought he did great as well, esp considering he is a musician and not a comedian. I thought one of his best jokes was making fun of johnny manziel and asking him to watch the ESPYS with him on shrooms. manziel thought it was funny too cuz he tweeted:

"Trippy..."

haha that's great

MFisH · Negus

my friend asked me a decent question, has there been a song of the summer yet?

I guess you could do with avicci's "summer" or "turn down for what" but idk they're both pretty old at this point. do you have any suggestions so far for song of the summer 2014?

-- Edited by MFisH on Wednesday 23rd of July 2014 02:02:11 PM

6ixty · Young Money

turn down for what is some ****. summer is calvin harris and id say that one cause it was on repeat last weekend. latch by disclosure is catching on. i wanna get better by bleachers is hot too.

ever since i got spotify i get sick of songs even faster than i used to. ive been bumping a lot of white ppl music lately since jack white and foster the people put albums out.

as for "radio" hit of the summer, i wouldnt know.

MFisH · Negus

I did a little research. as for radio hits this is what I came up with:

Iggy: Fancy (I’m sick of this song but it has been #1 on the charts for the past 2 months)
Turn down for what
Chris Brown: Loyal (probably my favorite song but it’s hard to give song of the summer to America’s sweetheart chris brown)
Calvin Harris: Summer
Pharrell: Happy (can’t remember when it came out but I think it was early summer)
Ed Sheeran: sing
Nico: Am I wrong

6ixty · Young Money

barf.

6ixty · Young Money

not sure if yall care but kendrick lamar just dropped his new single and it sounds totally different than anything hes done before.

soundcloud.com/topdawgent/i-1

MFisH · Negus

like it a lot. why do you say its totally different than what he's done before? more chip Kelly (up tempo)?

6ixty · Young Money

just the guitar and hula dance feel. so dope.

6ixty · Young Money

Kendrick lamar debuted a new song on Colbert report last night. don't have a link but theres one floating around. good stuff

6ixty · Young Money

this forum has been weaaaaak.

anyway, couple new albums out this week

lupe fiasco - tiesto & youth
joey bada$$ - B$da$$
lil wayne - sorry for the wait 2

and for my white friends: spoon - they want my soul

MFisH · Negus

is lil waynes album and actual CD or a mixtape? doesn't he normally call all his albums the carter 1..2..3..etc?

6ixty · Young Money

sorry for the wait is a mixtape before the album, carter 5, which has been delayed a few times hence the name sorry for the wait.

im not big on lil wayne anymore but he does still come thru in small doses

MFisH · Negus

how many mics do you give this latest mix tape?

6ixty · Young Money

just a couple. the lupe album is where its really at thou

MFisH · Negus

u guys watch the grammy's last night? I saw part of it, but what I liked the most was the kanye clip of him pretending to reenact his steal the mic from the winner (beck) but was just joking. deadspin had an angle (see 2nd clip on link below) of kanye walking up the stage and everyone's reaction was amazing haha. jay z looked terrifed that kanye was going to do something crazy, the guy next to jay z had his eyes wide open and kept saying "oh sh*t, oh sh*t," beyonce was almost begging him to not do anything, and at the bottom you can even see kim kardiashian looked freaked out after kanye walked by her and her friends looked terrified as well hahah that was great. everyone was just dieing when they realized he was just joking but I'm sure that was a very scary moment for a bunch of people in that audience not knowing what kanye was about to do haha.

http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/kanye-invades-stage-again-in-beyonces-honor-watch-her-1684596796

also, beck is still making music? I literally haven't heard a song of his since I was in 5th grade haha.

Jpoo · Guru

Hell yeah Beck is still rocking out, love it.

6ixty · Young Money

yeah that was funny and the reactions were priceless.

I love kanyes music, HOWEVER, to tell beck, a guy who plays 14 instruments to make up his ENTIRE band on his own, that he needs to bow down to the artistry of beyonce, who does nothing other than sings vocals on her songs (and doesn't even write the lyrics), is a COMPLETE DOUCHE MOVE.

Jpoo · Guru

Kanye hasn't made good music since Dark Twisted, he's all up in himself and I'm pretty done with him overall

MFisH · Negus

a little late to post this but whatever. since drake dropped his surprise mixtape a week or 2 ago that's all I've been listening to recently and I will admit, I first I was a little disappointed with it but now I love it. I say I was disappointed by it because typically when I listen to a drake album I cant make it past 3 or 4 songs without hitting repeat on one of them multiple times and with this one it took a while for me to do that. maybe I wasn't listening closely enough at first but I def am enjoying it right now. I love how he killed tyga at the end of the mixtape with his "6pm in NY" that's not like him to call out someone like that so blatantly. what happened to those 2, isn't tyga real close with lil wayne? anyway, i like almost every song on the album but here are my top 5 tracks from this album in reverse order:

5. 6pm in new york

4. preach

3. now and forever

2. know yourself

1. company

6ixty · Young Money

haha u picked the 4 slowest song on the whole thing smh. energy, 10 bands, 6pm in NY and know yourself for me.

MFisH · Negus

apparently there was a shooting of lil waynes tour bus a few weeks ago and TMZ said there is a strong link that leads back to one of young thugs boys. I then read these 2 are in a heavy beef, what started this all again? catch me up!

6ixty · Young Money

basically young thug replaced lil wayne as birdmans "son" so lil wayne got pissed and started beefing with him so birdman canceled the carter 5 from releasing earlier this year so lil wayne is suing birdman.

sheesh, girl problems.

MFisH · Negus

when is carter 5 coming out now?

6ixty · Young Money

its not. thats why he suing him for like 10m. maybe that will make him release it but they are essentially done.

heres the REAL story here:

whats better is that the carter 5 fills waynes contract quota on cash money so hes free to leave. BUT guess who *had* one album left before he could leave? thats right, drake. So what does he do? he drops IYRTITL as a mixtape, OH WAIT IM GOING TO MAKE IT AN ALBUM LAST MINUTE. thats why it was a surprise album. he now has filled his 5 album contract on CM.

now, that means drake can leave with wayne and be the only 2 artists on Young Money. but wait theres more!

Nicki Minaj only has one album left on her contract then she can leave as well.

so basically everyone is either done or finishing up their last album on CM and those 3 will be independent on young money. this is good news and hopefully wayne will get back to his old ways making good music before baby got rid of mannie fresh.

it also means "Views From The 6" (drakes next album) will be completely independent and he can make whatever music he wants. i (and a lot of other ppl) expect this to be his best album yet.

this is all good news for the team and for the fans. birdman and young thug are taking a HUGE L here because they will be all thats left. I believe thats why birdman refuses to drop C5.

make sense?

2pac and suge knight had an almost identical problem back in the day. some say it may have something to do with his death.

MFisH · Negus

interesting. I guess the next question is why the hell would birdman want to drop lil wayne like this then? esp considering dropping him makes him lose out on drake and nicki which i'm sure is tens of millions of dollars to him. lil wanyne said birdman was his father, what the hell happened between the 2 of them?

6ixty · Young Money

guess they just had a falling out. doubt he could see all this happening at first

6ixty · Young Money

ever wonder what "runnin thru the 6" would look like in the 6?

6ixty · Young Money

after watching... id imagine it was more live if you were there. looked weak on the vid

MFisH · Negus

you know how that should go!

MFisH · Negus

nick, why didn't you tell me about this and what the hell is OVO sound radio?

http://www.stereogum.com/1815178/hear-3-new-drake-featured-tracks-debuted-on-beats-1s-ovo-sound-radio/mp3s/

6ixty · Young Money

theyre just features and ovo radio is a radio station on the new apple music service.

which is BS by the way. spofity was doing just fine until Tidal came along providing "exclusive" content. now you need tidal to listen to things like the new lil wayne album. BUT WAIT, now theres apple music with more "exclusive" content like these drake features and radio.

so, if you want to get all the music created, on time, you need to either pay for THREE streaming music services or go old school and just bootleg everything (which is what they we trying to avoid).

on a seperate note, did you see the clip of birdman throwing a drink on lil wayne from the balcony while he was performing a show haha

MFisH · Negus

smh these damn rappers can never get along!

here is the link to the water fight

MFisH · Negus

how was the meek/nicki concert? anymore updates on meek vs drake?

MFisH · Negus

nick, you listen to "charged up" yet? I thought meeks response was funny, he tweeted something like it was soft like baby lotion and he could tell drake wrote that one haha.

I have other friends who think drake killed it, what do you think?

6ixty · Young Money

its not bad. had a minimal beat and he kept his cool and delivered some bars.

still, meek mills music is the exact opposite and i can see why he laughed it off. apparently meeks response will air tonight at 7 on flunk flex radio show. should be very different haha.

im too old for this **** thou. this has nothing on 50/em vs. ja rule back in the day when they released entire mixtapes of straight fire. now its all thru twitter. 2pac and biggie didnt die for this ****.

MFisH · Negus

ya I agree, and drake is my favorite rapper right now and I cant even get worked up over it. this will get squashed at some point down the line, esp with the nicki/drake relationship, and this will be nothing and they will probably be on a song together in the near future. I remember how everyone got all worked up over Kendrick lamars track a few years ago calling everyone out and what was the result of that?

I don't really know how the rap game truly works, but is it even a big deal if someone helps write or "ghost writes" a hook for someone on a few tracks? I thought that was pretty common. isn't a lot of rap about delivery anyway? I heard the "leaked track" that this QM Miller guy wrote for drake on one of the mix tape songs (10 bands), and maybe I'm biased but drakes version sounded a lot better.

idk, I guess I thought all the top musicians in every category (pop, rap, country, etc) had a team of producers and co-writers helping them make a song before it gets released. that's why these top guys are so good, because they have a great team around them, anyone really think the biebs is making all the hooks himself? it's not like drake stole a guys freestyle and said it was his, that would be a little different. oh well, like you said, im not about to get all worked up over this.

6ixty · Young Money

ding ding ding ROUND 2

"Is that a world tour or your girls tour. Trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers. You gettin’ bodied by a singin' n*gga."

LOLZ

MFisH · Negus

haha ya I heard this today as well, im surprised drake is going so hard at meek with these comeback diss tracks, not like drake. he was the one who said "diss me and you'll never hear a reply for it." guess meek hit a soft spot.

the tracks are a little slow for me, but everyone i am hearing/reading thinks drake is killing him so he must be doing something wright. I do like the pic he put up I thought that was hilarious.
