F/ MY MANS TREY SONGZ

had to remove a few do to pol option limits.. sorry if you wanted to vote for Huey featuring My Mans Trey Songz

jesus

he has so many songs with Drake. this amazes me

voted for "Girl You Know"

they should have a deal or no deal type show where these trey songz features are in 50 separate cases and i have to go down to 1 to listen to for the rest of my life. the deal they offer me after every round is the chance to shoot myself in the head.

how do i choose between the 2 pistols songs?

2008: "Hood Love" (Maino featuring Trey Songz)

^this has to be one of the worst rap songs ever

not that i've heard it, just speculating

2008: "Ya Heard Me" (B.G. featuring Lil' Wayne, Juvenile & Trey Songz)

probably should've voted for this because i could list 300 living musicians i'd want to hear on featured on the hot boys reunion single before i got to trey songz

2008: "Ride" (Ace Hood feat. Trey Songz)

this is fucking horrible. ace hood sex raps + songz hook = i give up

2008: "Cuddy Buddy" (Mike Jones featuring Trey Songz, Twista & Lil Wayne)

had no idea songz was involved with this, pretty good joint imo

im gonna follow the rev's lead and start referring to all "f/ my mans trey songz" as a mini-genre called "songz"

as in

2008: "Da Baddest" (Big Kuntry King featuring Trey Songz)

this has to be one of the most unnecessary songz ever - couldn't you have just sampled pimp c on the hook?

i lked 'pop rose' for abt .5 secondz so ill go for that but mostly i agree wit j0rdan

2008: "I Just Wanna" (AZ featuring Sheek Louch, Max B & Trey Songz)

i dont get it this - you are a hood ny rappers like AZ and you recruit some hood ny rappers like louch and max b and you pay for a SONGZ HOOK why???

southern posse cuts sex raps + trey songz has to be the worst super mini genre ever - who would want to listen to this crap??

2005: "Hold U Down" (Bun B featuring Trey Songz, Mike Jones, & Birdman)

J0rdan S4rgent, why are you hating on MMTS?

2007: "Pain in My Life" (Saigon featuring Trey Songz)

what in gods name

I almost cut that one, but it was too precious

and, you know, Huey

http://i39.tinypic.com/2h3bgol.jpg

lolololol

You need to change the list of artists:

Includes Ace Hood, Maino, Drake, Saigon, 2 Pistols and many more.

2008: "We Global" (DJ Khaled feat. Fat Joe, Ray J, and Trey Songz)

this is the worst idea of all time right?

man... Ray J and MMTS, that's on some matter and anti-matter shit

2009: "I Ain't Playing" (Bow Wow feat. Trey Songz)

lmao <3 of lil bow wow doing a song about how hard he is with a mmts hook

You need to change the list of artists:

Includes Ace Hood, Maino, Drake, Saigon, 2 Pistols and many more.

GIRL YOU KNOW is dope.

tape store, you might as well take a moment to reflect on the f/mmts ouvre and how it reflects our lives in all their complexities

cheaper than lloyd??? ouch. I think lloyd just doesn't get those jobs cause he's too faggy

uh 8ball & mjg beg to differ

i can't even figure what song to vote for as best, even "Girl You Know" is better in the album version w/o him on it

but to take it back to old school ilx defending the indefensible, i like the kinda rambling endless verses MMTS drops on these 2 remixes:

ok, so lloyd butches it up for one song. whatever, not disproving my point. what's telling is that his hook on "forever" is better than any mmts has ever done on a rap song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Finally, we'll have a more expanded story on Trey Songz on Tuesday, but for today, we had to bring the origins on his now-signature "Yuuuggghhh!" ad lib. You've heard it on his songs and you've heard it on records he's not even on, like Drake's "Best I Ever Had." Where did it come from?

"It just came about," he said recently in his new hometown of Atlanta. "I'm a fool, really, in the studio. I said it on one record. I don't remember what record it was on first. Then I started going places and people would do it. That's when I knew it was something that was catching on. Now I gotta do it on every song."

^^ wtf are they even talking about

why you wanna suggest ban lil ol me?

lol :)

my shitttttttttttt

plus, like i said in r&b, his new mixtape is crazy

true dat, double true

i don't know how, but somehow i wasn't even aware trey EXISTED until this year

you weren't really missing anything until now, he's been kind of lame minus a couple of songs

I would never really suggest ban you, Ray Ray and "LOL :)"

ok i figured out what this is referring to but i always just thought he was saying "yup" in a really obnoxious way.

he is saying yuup

he should have told MTV that when they interviewed him and spelled "yup" with three G's and three H's.

trey songz really has a signature ad-lib?

it's not even really an ad lib, it's more of a throat-clearing sound effect like when jadakiss cackles

"lol :)" is super catchy, i don't really feel like i can resist it getting stuck in my head no matter what i actually think of the song

i mean for as "dumb" as it is, it's a good hook and a pretty smart song to make

i feel like when you call a song "smart" what you really mean is pandering

sure, yeah, but i also mean that it's a song "about" twitter that's not all FOLLOW ME TWITTER TWEET TWEET or w/e that would make people just go "ugh" - instead it uses "twitpic" in a rhyme for a catchy chorus so in essence it's a good little song that feels a bit more "of the moment" and thusly will probably be more successful in the short term than it might have been otherwise

also it's a good song i think because of that little part after he repeats "lol smiley face" - great melody there

if you're saying it's not quite as desperate as the Mistah F.A.B. song then yeah

and yeah that melody at the end of the chorus is definitely what makes the song

actually kinda lovin' this dude and "LOL :)"

my bad, this song is dope

my favorite bit is in the beginning, where they splice in 'soulja boy tell'em' and 'gucci!' over the chorus

maybe I'll make this my ringtone

i know complaining about soulja boy's rapping makes me a nas stan and all but man he really kinda ruins the song. simple dumb raps can be fun but just repeating the title 8 times, rhyming "blackberry" with "halle berry" and then splitting is just annoying.

the worst part about that verse is claiming that Halle Berry is thick

ray j is pretty much the og mmts, huh?

man i love this thread

i don't think ray j was on songs with as many gangsta rappers as mmts

(12:47:41 AM) sargnt: it registered on my treydar

i'm still so proud of this

it might be kinda a regional thing, but it feels we get way more f/ ray j joints than f/ mmts on the radio here

obviously i actively like trey songz as a solo artist now, but holy fuck why is he on the pac/pimp c joint on the new bun album -- i mean christ

o_O

it was hilarious tonight when trey started doing "purple rain" and they cut to prince for like 10 seconds and he's all "yep........."

actually feel really bad for prince, all these reaction shots

damn, wish i'd stayed up to see that

lol this thread

trey songz is pretty much the biggest R&B star out right now right? i mean in terms of zeitgest & everything thats who ppl are checking for

yeah he definitely is -- he's kind of unimaginably big tbh, in context

yeah i mean i would say Usher is still technically bigger but is kinda running on career momentum, it's clearly MMTS's year

trey's mom at the BET awards was some kind of fox, like damn

that is seriously up there in the pantheon of prince gifs

haha look at the dude behind as well

didnt even realise these gifs were originally fourfour's, shouldve known

http://i45.tinypic.com/2it3m1w.jpg

i can't even imagine being prince in that situation -- seeing all these jokers singing your songs with this camera one foot from your face

yeah no doubt!!

actually this one captures it better

haha the tiny moment of realness he couldnt resist

what i wouldnt pay to see the-dream do yamaha in front of him

mmts is so anonymous, i just saw a whole video by him and had no idea it was my mans until the end

damn, i think i like this song a lot

oops rong thread

haaaaaaaa

f/w my mans trey songz

1. Linkin Park – Thousand Islands – 241,214 *Debut
2. Trey Songz – Passion Pain & Pleasure – 240,209 *Debut

wow

lol @ Thousand Islands

was expecting a big first week for my mans though

good for my mans

that's just about as much as katy perry has done in three weeks right?

my mans doesn't do earnest very well.

all the songs featured in this poll are so fucking bad

idk rev i fuck w/ "can't be friends"

that was exactly the song that made me say that

it sounds like some classic mario winans ish to me

i p much hate mario winans tho

What do you dudes think of "Blind" though.

my mans is seriously so boring & oftentimes so aggressively anonymous that i have a hard time saying that he does a certain type of song well -- i think material makes or fails him, not the other way around

otm

don't know "blind"

It's pretty fucking earnest.

the best trax on his album are the earnest ones

ok one of those earnest songs has him mimicking a doorbell but w/v

i still don't think i could ever bring myself to listen to a trey songz album

neither did i, before i actually listened to this one. it's worth it!

i like as much earnest stuff (i need a girl, can't help but wait, can't be friends) as i do jokey stuff (bottoms up/say ahh, i invented sex, neighbors know my name)

oh yeah, "can't help but wait" is good. forgot about that one.

i think it's hard to get through the whole thing in one sitting -- it's long and kinda monochromatic & i've had to force myself to go back & hear it in order for songs to start separating themselves in my mind

he's kind of an artist right now where i end up loving like pretty much every single, and you could cobble together a pretty dope 13 or 14 song album out of his last two albums combined, but neither of them are actually all that great, tho i think the last one is prob slightly better

oh i pretty much just listen to either the first third or, more often, the last third of the new trey - def a bit too much for one sitting. he sounds like he pushes himself a lot more not to sound generic when he's being earnest - re: his lighter stuff, i don't dislike songs like "say ahh", and if i ever heard them on the radio i'd probably be more fond of them, but they're not that special.

everytime i hear "bottoms up" i feel like trey must have sheepfacedly went back to the lab after doing "say ahh" and been like "ok i probably could have been a bit less obvious about ripping off 'blame it'"

hearing "say ahh" on the radio a bunch taught me to hate it. it reeallly doesn't hold up.

i think my problem with "can't be friends" is he's being a sleeze and trying to pass himself off as sympathetic. like...i have no problems with r&b dudes being sleezy as long as they kind of own it? but when they try to have it both ways it triggers my gag reflex.

ha i have not paid enough attention to the lyrics of that song tbh

yeah the last third of the recent album is very good

i think my problem with "can't be friends" is he's being a sleeze and trying to pass himself off as sympathetic.

this strikes me as pretty real.

I think it's a great album.

i like the new album pretty well

"Can't Help But Wait" is great because Trey is the 2nd hammiest vocalist in R&B after Beyonce and it taps into that while still utilizing his young man swag -- the intro with the pew pew pew lazer gun noises and deadpan "check it out" leading right into those verses full of over-the-top vibrato and the ridiculous emphasis of lines like "you're worth MUCH MORE THAN THE OCCASIONAL I LOVE YOU!!!!!" that tension is missing from "Can't Be Friends," which is just pure pork.

ha i remember the first time i saw trey songz it was in the video for scarface "girl you know" and my first thought was like man that dude needs to get punched in his stupid smug face reaaaally hard....my second thought was goddamn scarface has gotten fat as hell.

i've been looking at this photo of trey a lot recently: http://www.last.fm/music/Trey+Songz/+images/44712471

can someone listen to ace hood 'sex chronicles the mixtape' for me and tell me how awesome it undoubtably is

I did, and it is indeed really awesome.

"Goon Sex" wasn't quite as good as the title promised, but "Sex Dance" is precisely as good as its title.

Your clothes all gone but your legs wide open/ Hope you like snakes swimming all in your ocean/ Like it on top, say she's digging my motion/ Rubbing on the clit, now she's gushing out lotion...

MAKING LOVE FECES
MAKING LOOOOOVEEEE FECES

"love faces" is such a creepy ass song

it has a great melody & he sing it well but the lyrics are an absolute mess

he sing it annoyingly imo

i dare you to listen to it and not think he's singing 'making love feces'

esp when she dirties up the sheets

"don't it feel good when i touch on it" has weird sexual predator connotations to me

hahahahaha

i usually think of his ridiculous stupid vibrato as turning vowel sounds into R's "makin LRRRV FRRRRRCES"

xpost

The Weeknd thread is reminding me how great the Anticipation mixtape is, but I actually prefer the showboating, Apollo-rocking Trey Songz of Passion Pain and Pleasure over Anticipation's eerie, man-in-space act.

My favorite song on the album is probably its most over-the-top. I love how it cycles through so many conflicting moods and emotions yet brings them all to this great resolution:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHNWA2_NvD4

"heart attack" is still the jam

it got a little tired for me by the end of the year it was on the radio. good song though.

2005: "Girl Tonite" (Twista feat. Trey Songz) 0

This is a good song even tho MM is just singing Ready For The World. Dunno why I never repped for it earlier.

it was such a weird witless "Slow Jamz" retread but yeah not unpleasant per se.

the new Trey single where he sings "Fu-Gee-La" over a DJ Mustard beat, though, fuck that forever.

Ugh, I didn't realize that was Trey Songz. I still love this guy and I'm rooting for him to come back with something good, but man, his inability to resist low-hanging fruit

all of a sudden dude has his highest charting hot 100 song since 2010

also 50 cent has a song w/ him that's also becoming a radio hit? sure

i'm pretty astounded that "na na" actually took off in the way it did

all of a sudden dude has his highest charting hot 100 song since 2010

you say that as if it's actually as big as "Bottoms Up," though. he's never going to have a top 10 hit again.

If Robin Thicke and Jason Derulo can do it, I wouldn't count Trey Songz out.

It doesn't even feel as big as "Heart Attack" or "Two Reasons"

yeah

we need the billboard chart stats for his varous singles listed out here

I know I'm preaching to an empty room here, but I'm liking most everything I'm hearing from the upcoming album. July 1 release date; a few new songs out today:

http://karencivil.com/new-music-trey-songz-foreign-and-change-your-mind/

This one's still my fav:

https://soundcloud.com/spinzhoodrich/trey-songz-ft-jeezy-ordinary

I bet the album will be good.

he could have a pretty strong Greatest Hits collection at this point but i can't imagine getting hyped for a Trey album. the last one was trash outside the singles.

yeah i didn't like the last one at all

his sound isn't interesting to me at all, i find his albums to be weirdly greyscale. got good singles sometimes of course.

Passion, Pain & Pleasure is a back to back classic in my book; that one never lets up. I have no idea how he went so wrong with Chapter V, though. Terrible album.

trey songz doesn't strike me as one of the r&b dudes most concerned with creative control, his label probably just thought he'd reached the limit of his market potential and didn't give him the best songs

looking back at PPP... i wonder if trey is the only artist to have a drake feature on a song not produced by 40 and a 40 song that doesn't have a drake feature on the same album

i get the opposite impression, i think he has a hand in the writing of most if not all of his songs and has a very strong sense of his sound and his 'brand,' whether i always like the results of not. xp

Yeah, I think Al's right. If you look at PP&P, he was the primary writing credit on nearly every song, which is probably why that was such a coherent, vaguely classicist R&B album. On Chapter V, he has almost exclusively secondary writing credits. That's probably why that album is such a scattered mess; there was almost certainly some label meddling going on there

Like a lot of R&B singers, it doesn't take much for Songz to come across as a sleazeball, a cornball or an asshole. Chapter V really didn't have a good sense of where those boundaries were.

that album had TWO songs built around football metaphors. the Ty Dolla $ign-written "Fumble" was just the worst.

"heart attack" is his best single though (either that or "can't help but wait" imo)

"Heart Attack" is all time. Plus it's my fiance's favorite Trey Songz single; she's been talking about doing it at karaoke for ages.

Wouldn't be doing my duty if i didn't note that the new album is really, really good. A lot zippier and more club-minded than the last couple of albums, and save for a track or two it doesn't leave the sour aftertaste that other male-fronted Mustard&B does. And the Nicki track is going to be a great single

http://www.mtv.com/artists/trey-songz

saw this mention of Trey in a Washington Post article on a great funky North Carolina family group called Brass Connection who have moved to DC and have been playing street corners:

Their first hot spot was Dupont Circle. It was there, they say, that R&B singer Trey Songz hopped out of a limo to listen. The crowd went wild. He put $500 in their bucket.

i love "slow motion" and cannot believe charlie puth was responsible for the song's existence

yeah "slow motion" is incredible

Write in vote: "Beat It Up" - Gucci Mane feat. Trey Songz (2010)

love "slow motion"

not f/ my mans but i really like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v5HZTwFBCs

dang didn't even know he had a new album. I'm five tracks in & it feels pretty lifeless :/

do you like that song, Evan?

Yeah it's sweet and breezy, though as a lead single it's kinda underwhelming. I know this board/people in general rip on A&R interference, but I'm kinda shocked his label let him release this album. So much B material, and it kills whatever commercial momentum the guy had

I guess I'd rather hear the guy make a very low key R&B album than go full Derulo but still
