young jeezy ft. kanye west- put on

kanye verses have been pretty great lately, hes good on lollipop remix

+estelle joint

kanye kinda leaves jeezy in the dust on this one

he probably recorded that verse the day after doing lolipop - "shit, long as everyone else is using autotune, fuck it - i got next!"

jeezy album is now anticipated

yeah jeezy's been on a roll (dey know verse is amazing), and kanye totally kills this song.. plus I love the beat. PUT OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN

nobody else really seems to like it though, I played it at the BBQ and ppl were like "...huh?" I guess it's just too next level

new one is called THE RECESSION

def jam says it's out july 29

Guests expected to make an appearance on the album include Kanye West, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, T.I., Akon, Blood Raw, Slick Pulla, The Game, T-Pain, Young Dro and more. [3]

I have a feeling that this will be really hot...I'm much more interested in prod credits than guests right now though

ok this track is fucking amazing

kanye somehow manages to turn what should be boring fame-whine subject matter + boring autotune gimmick into something rather special! like genuinely creepy and paranoid and menacing. he sounds like a sad malfunctioning kanyebot

A+ vegetable metaphors from jeezy too

AUTOTUNE IS OUT OF CONTROL! (say in westwood voice)

i like this a lot. maybe jeezy's best single? kanye doesnt need to be on it though, def not with a fucking autotune. still good though. contender for best rap single of 08.

yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

dude always comes with the pre-album mixtape

ha i was waiting for you to post about this

wtf @ the tags

what exactly is the significance of the Prime Minister? something about how there's a recession but I don't really see how the PM would help that....shouldn't it be called like the Chairman of the Fed.??? he could be like the Ben Bernanke of rap

it's really not that great, unfortunately. I think his freestyles are all on point and he's stepped his game up a little bit (not as much as one would expect after hearing "Put On") but this mix is lacking the great new material from a next album like the Snowman mixtape or Trap or Die or whatever that other one was

i am the street dream

"Translator" is real dope tho

When asked by assistant U.S. Attorney Robert McBurney who the customers were, Simms gave two names: William "Doc" Marshall, a high-level BMF co-conspirator who testified earlier in the trial, and "Jeezy."

"Young Jeezy the rapper?" McBurney asked.

"Yes," Simms answered.

the best part of that thing is that the mansion was called space mountain

yeah the place I pick up from is called Epcot

what u all talkin about

could i get a summary

how ironic

what u mean

shame yall donte grasp the ironic genius of the nu 50.

the army return serious, dont fuck w urself

http://youtube.com/watch?v=87j37ZB0A_s

50 bein free of his label smoke some trees and repent nigga

cuz he trolled the nation hardand u gotta listen cuz u gotta love him

jeezyz real too, theyll control next year

been in atl like 6 hours and ive heard this song like 15 times and im not mad one bit

we've been yelling "puuuuuuut ooooooooooooooooooooooooooon" all night tonight. anthem of the year

damn... been kinda slow warming up to this but serious joint

seriously can't get enough of this song

video is great too

man that is a great video

love this jam

video's good but really makes a nonsense of kanye's bit - the long episodic pause and awkward distance of perspective between his and jeezy's verses was what made this song strangely addictive to me originally, now he just seems tacked on

also how comes jeezy aint got a shout out for the northside huh

always end up saying it involuntarily anyway and then get cross

yeah the way it feels like 2 different songs, or like they just skipped straight to the guest star remix instead of releasing it as a solo track first, is really the best thing abou tit.

the first half by itself would be at best a strong Jeezy album cut, and the 2nd half by itself would be oh no "Can't Tell Me Nothing" + Autotune, but somehow together it's way better than that.

hah tried picturing what i wouldve wanted kanye's part in the video to be like - thought of him bitter & alone in his mansion or whatever - realised this probly oughtve been on the batman soundtrack!!

yeah Kanye really blew his "Batdance" moment on that Mission Impossible sequel

the radio edit where they skip kanye's little "i put oooooooooooon/i put oooooooooooon" bridge and jump straight into the verse is real weird

jeezy's whole black american flag motif is the shit. it really feels like he's gonna make a jump into like superstardom with this one

http://z.about.com/d/rap/1/0/q/9/-/-/OutKastStankonia.jpg

lol yeah thats the first thing i thought of

but jeezy's is black and SILVER

<IMG SRC="http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/riot.jpg";>

oops but i suppose this is the ultimate root of it

anyway this song is good

http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/riot.jpg

yeah jordan thats how it goes in the video mix too

xxxxp, yo remember that bizarro aborted mission impossible of his with twista and keyshia tho? i never do, but still great

I did like that song song Twista/Keyshia yeah. I even liked his instrumental versin of the title theme! I just meant they clearly weren't the synergistic pop event he envisioned it as.

also how comes jeezy aint got a shout out for the northside huh

is Atlanta one of those cities that doesn't have a north side per se, the same way people always bust on Journey about how there's not really a south Detroit?

great fuckin video on this too

there's no 'east side' in chicago

or if there is its just when ppl are discussing the difficulty of getting from east two west via the el ... but not in terms of concrete 'sides' of the city

uh east to west

yeah, i know what you mean, there's a south baltimore across the harbor, and a north baltimore that bleeds up into the county, but there's only really an east side and a west side, noone says north side or south side.

There's no westside to Seattle and people say north end or south end rather than northside or southside. The eastside is most definitely the eastside tho.

I suppose the Kitsap could be considered the westside, but no one calls it that. It's the Kitsap.

finally saw this video. great song! right on about the black and silver flags looking dope...

like the more grandiose video like voice of the ghetto shit, good look for jeezy.

also echo the kanye autotune shit being suprisingly great....i was thinking that actually kanye's sorta musician dude thing helps him use autotune in better ways like not just to make his voice go fluttery like most dudes, he actually picks out some interesting melodic things and little lines that pop in and out of the track...

I always kinda liked Kanye's singsong stuff on "Hey Mama" and some early mixtape tracks, his half-assed singing is more likeable than the average rapper's.

also, agreed about the video edit going straight into K's verse kinda fucking it up big time.

over time, i've sort of grown to think that kanye is a great rapper in his own way. at first i was like he's a typical producer/rapper, more of a beats guy w/mediocre verses, but he's always super engaging to me even though he's not like next level skills or anything.

Here's the Remix with Jay-Z:

http://xclusiveszone.blogspot.com/2008/07/young-jeezy-ft-jay-z-put-on-remix-radio.html

Not bad, not as good as the og version.

he1geson otm

kanye's verse is a showstopper but jeezy's "super" riff is fuckin awesome

SUPERCAKE

^^

http://www.charmcitycakes.com/images/gallery/fistofrock2.jpg

^^oddly enough this is exactly what i feel like when i listen to this song

ugh i dont even want to hear a jay-z EVENT version

relistened to jay on the "ha" remix for the first time in forever, why was that shit such a big deal at the time? terrible

also echo the kanye autotune shit being suprisingly great....i was thinking that actually kanye's sorta musician dude thing helps him use autotune in better ways like not just to make his voice go fluttery like most dudes, he actually picks out some interesting melodic things and little lines that pop in and out of the track...

this is otm

the fact that there isnt a mega atl remix of this is such a shame

fuck jay z

great track

let's use this thread to talk about the recession

here is "vacation", which is arguably better than "put on"

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=8bLrv4nSBt0

and this is "circulate", which has a bonkers beat

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=7XRGto1aRtk

i need a vacaaaaaation

some of the beats on the songs i didn't link sound like beats from freeway albums and he just slaughters them

ie "word play"

yeah i'm feeling all of this recession.

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let the dollar circulate let the dollar circulate love that

vacation is ehhhhhhh but circulate is ridic

yah that billy paul original is one amazing song, dilla sampled it for that steve spacek joint everyone went nuts about in '06

First nine or ten tracks on The Recession are so fucking good. Sadly my commute ended before I made it any further.

So who's gonna drop "Circulate" in a balearic mix first?

registering luv for 'circulate'!

Love how the album moves gradually from negativity and austerity to optimism. How good is My President?

idk if you can get better than don't you know->circulate->word play->vacation

there are so many huge choruses on this

he has a bunch of songs in general but specifically on this album where like right when the chorus hits you start to think its one of the best songs ever

this is the best album of the year so far

this is actually a very good record yes

the second half is really fantastic.

yeah the first half is spotty but from don't you know on this thing is basically unimpeachable. Except the one with trey songz. Fuck that guy.

i hode interesting bracelet

second half introspective selfdoubt. jay-z on old; nobpdy xaESAS

HOLD on i think i lestyened to the jeezy maybe not the new ti is a dul;l farewell afaik

why ain nhhd toll;i9n upsidedown cap rs and prnouncing their t's. i see the ph relevent in china n korea but whatever wth./ fuck this i got as bnlog it aint updated yet i'll elt yea know when it6' agv9iop;

cuity22cuitrt qgwewa rgw ewEW xiosw

rainsanwe the afterpath pain brang frshor tatted up co ncentratin

gifeb ol

thats oil to ya bbl fo|l|xe

Except the one with trey songz. Fuck that guy.

nah dude on both accounts. also: "vacation" possibly better than "put on"?!?!?!?! smh.gif

trey songz is the most superfluous hook singer around right now. ive never heard a rap song with him singing the hook and been like "hm well im really glad my mans trey songz is singing right now" (my inner thoughts have been corrupted by big hoos). i mean im okay with him showing up on a trey songz album but jeezy doesn't need r&b singers singing hooks for him (unless its akon). even anthony hamilton is unwelcome on the recession imo.

in any event trey songz should be paying ppl to let him sing not the other way around

i mean im okay with him showing up on a trey songz album

this is supposed to say 2 pistols

nah vacation isnt better than put on but the fact that i even considered the thought makes me wonder

really??? i think both dudes work really well on this album....I don't ever give a shit what dude is singing on a track because nine times out of ten I can't tell the difference (the tenth time being kells obv) but both songs are good imo. although now i know like lyfe jennings because of the track from II Trill with young buck, which is like one of my favorite songs ever now

xpp

i meant can't tell the difference b/w them. and i'm obviously not counting teddy

yeah i guess, im mostly bemoaning it here cuz basically every great jeezy song has him on the hook so i just don't see the point of it :/

i mean i skip the song and im cool with it that way. def not rating this any lower cuz it has a trey songz hook or anything

lol @ this whole revive

jay-z on old

classic

j0rdan, please tell me trey songz is wack after this:

http://datpiff.com/images/tapes/Swagger-Like-Songz-mid20342-large.jpg

http://datpiff.com/Trey-Songz-DJ-Ill-Will-Digital-Product-DJ-Rockst-mid20342.html

prob should go in some sort of rnb thread but w/e

ha is that a trey songz mixtape?

i might listen to it later. fwiw i really liked "can't help but wait", i just find the dude superfluous on rap records esp. when he's really trying to sing. on "can't help but wait" he barely changes the range of his voice so it sounds aiight

I don't think I've particularly liked a single Trey Songz track or guest appearance ever (oh wait, he kind of has the only good hook on We Global), and overemoting vibrato he does on songs like "Can't Help But Wait" is pretty annoying, but I don't really understand what's worth hating about dude, he's pretty average.

yeah i don't really care about dudes hook or features or whatever and frankly cant even think of more than two or three but this mixtape is like a traditional mixtape from a rapper ie he "freestyles" over like every hot track right now but totally remakes them. it's really sweeping and awesome. look at the tracklist

1. Intro
2. Swagga like songz feat jay-z
3. Love lockdown
4. Whatever u like
5. Sunset
6. Gotta believe it
7. In ya phone
8. Paper planes
9. We global feat ray j
10. I'm da man feat plies
11. Love safari
12. Ride or die feat ace hood
13. Cuddy buddy
14. One night feat yung berg
15. Love song
16. High definition
17. Murder she wrote
18. Takin' it there feat young jeezy
19. Hood love feat maino
20. It's me
21. Got 2 get it feat hot dollar
22. Donkey booty feat mims
23. Got money
24. A millie
25. Gotta go (bonus throwback)

I know Trey Songz was kind of one of the first R&B dudes to do a lot of rapper-style freestyle mixtape tracks, back before his first album dropped, but is there really any novelty in it any more? By this point a lot of other people (R. Kelly, Raheem DeVaughn, Amerie) have done it and usually do it better.

it's just nice to listen to

Yeah, I mean I can't knock it, it's a cool idea and usually more creative than MC freestyles because they end up coming up with whole new vocal melodies, DeVaughn's on at least the 5th volume of his mixtape series and has had some real gems.

i don't hate trey songz really i just groan when i see him on a tracklist and as i said earlier never think in my head "man im glad trey songz just sung!!"

yeah I feel you, and I lolled pretty hard at "hm well im really glad my mans trey songz is singing right now" (my inner thoughts have been corrupted by big hoos).

kanye kinda leaves jeezy in the dust on this one

way wrong

walked by a double parked car booming My President in the east village tonight XD

I have done much booming of "My President" in the past few days

^^^^ now all i need is a blue lambo

OK, I'm like a year late, but this is fucking incredible! And I thought I hated Jeezy!

When Kanye dropped the "I lost the only girl in the world that knows me best" line, I felt my heart drop.

yeah i'm by no means an 808s hater but kanye's verse here is far & away the finest manifestation of the aesthetic he was aiming for on it

he probably recorded that verse the day after doing lolipop - "shit, long as everyone else is using autotune, fuck it - i got next!"

this thread is really about Swagga Like Songz

the drum pattern on this song is secretly crazy

been in atl like 6 hours and ive heard this song like 15 times and im not mad one bit

we've been yelling "puuuuuuut ooooooooooooooooooooooooooon" all night tonight. anthem of the year

this was one of the best things ever - no joke me the dudes i was with must've rapped this in full 25 times over 3 days - i've never experienced anything like it - "put on" would come on the radio literally every 10 mins, it was like a joke but no one got sick of it

catch the fever!!
