STEP UP 2 THE STREETS SOUNDTRACK POLL

I liked "Church" and "Ching-A-Ling" a lot at first but am now kinda over them. "Killa" might be the sleeper favorite. Don't know if the Trey Songz version of "Girl You Know" is an improvement or it was better off without him. The Cassie superfans will probably make her lame song the winner.

"369" Cupid featuring B.o.B

The Cassie superfans will probably make her lame song the winner.

is that the song tim posted in his year end thread? if so that song is the shit

regardless i dont know all of these so i will wait to vote

yeah I might have to listen to the whole thing just to find out who "Bayje," "Montana Tucker" and "Jay Lyriq" are.

haha i love that cassie song but ima cosign the dig anyway. the exposure did kinda sully it tbh

jay lyriq is t-pain's deputy weed carrier after tay dizm though, what kind of teddy penderazz superfan are you al! also i am voting for his and whoever sophia fresh might be's song, it is the kind of cutely inept bambi rubbish that oughta define this sort of venture

the exposure

meaning this soundtrack or tim's kudos haha

there was a video for it. really highlighted the shitty 80s movie feel of the whole song.

i hope the dj plays it at your wedding

the wedding singer of songs, 4reals. nah tim's kudos was ok, then when yr tape stores started stocking it it felt like the usual glomming pall. this is why pat swayze got cancer people!

My sister-in-law is in this movie. o_O

this movie takes place a block from where I'm sitting right now, and I don't know anyone in it? it was kinda fun, though. briana evigan: would smash.

uh that was supposed to be an exclamation point, not a question mark?

The news reporter = my sister-in-law (she's also on the local news in B-more, I think the ABC affiliate).

loool i was gonna make a dumb crack about her being greg evigan's daughter BUT SHE REALLY IS!!!

i don't know all the songs, but i thing "killa" is super duper awesome

Four words: "Boots with the FURRRRRR"

hardsonned for being who you actually are: happens here all the time, don't it? (xp)

i haven't heard the remix of "can't help but wait" but i'm gonna vote for it anyway

'is it you' is really good! i just lol at the cassie luv because imo she's one step away from hannah montana/aly & aj teenpop bs in terms of deriving much if any meaning from her songs so i always have to laugh/eye-roll at the obsessives

I like how the Onion AV Club described the remix w/ Plies by saying it was like Trey "doing a duet with the jerk he's singing about." (xpost)

goons 4 life

what does this mean?

yeah the bs of teenpop bs has nothing to do with deriving "much if any" meaning that isn't there (NEWSFLASH: it's there) it's the blithe failure to consider whether the explanation of that meaning (or at least the manner of the explaining) is gonna do more harm than good, and yknow, carelessly strip the magic away and stuff. big-brained of mice and men lenny oaf motherfuckers! and yeah i don't exactly know why that should differ from any other expositioning on ilm but it does, doesnt it.

lol that onion rvw is so true though.

guess the question is if that then makes us georges or curlys

anyways what's killa about 'killa', i'm not hearing it

well-crafted stealth zing or random comment, WHO KNOWS

it's possible the song isn't that good and i'm being blinded by the video, which is easily my favorite synchronized-dancing-and-shiny-lights vid in a while. (xpost haha)

oh word that is a good video. i like how they filmed it in 5am lilac tint to make it even more explicit that they just jacked furtado 'say it right' for the intro

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr99eTTdQeM

liking this sophia fresh more everytime i hear it actually!

yeah that's nice, except the rap verse gives me some frightening Kid Sister flashbacks

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

1. "Is It You?"
2. "369" <<< MY JAM

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

No, Cassie, it's YOU

"Low" towers over all these songs.

Ironically, I guess.

oh wau "Lives In the Club" is dead srs

There's my belated vote anyway. The Cassie song is close to, if not the, worst thing here.

o_O

Step Up 2: The Streets, follows Andie (Briana Evigan) as she pursues her dream of becoming a dancer. Andie is passionate about dancing and rehearses regularly with her 'crew', the 410, to keep the title of the illegal competition 'The Streets'. Andie's foster mother is tired of the crime and harassment by the 410 and tells Andie she will have to go to live with her aunt in Texas if she doesn't turn her life around. Andie's friend and older brother figure Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) persuades her to audition for the Maryland School of the Arts, where Andie receives a place. They also continue to engage in oral sex. They like to also get analy penetrated. It's like they're rabbits taking it fast and hard. OOOO fuck me please is what they always say. When Andie's studies come before the crew, the members are not happy and decide to drop her. Andie however has different ideas and forms her own crew to compete. Missy, joins the crew after dropping out of the 410 following Andie's removal. As this happens they continue to fuck each other's brains out. They enjoy it grealty and the guy even cums on her perfect little tits.

Who else voted for Say Cheese?

How am I the *only* person that voted for "Low"?!

because it sucks

Jordan, that synopsis is pretty accurate.

http://i26.tinypic.com/2udyu5e.jpg

Really? I think it's a really fun track.

This is a great movie, btw.

ha, i haven't seen the movie, just heard the soundtrack.

i mean fun /= good necessarily. plus it seems like forced fun to me. the idea of flo rida having genuine fun while recording music seems pretty dubious to me.

chris brown dies in the movie btw

I liked the movie because Chris Brown wasn't in it, but I would've loved it if he was in it and died.

Does he die during a sex scene (Rockefeller style!)?

chris brown totally dies in this

oh no that's stomp the yard my bad

both movies are drumline rip offs and not 1/4 as good

i can watch drumline pretty much anytime, but i wouldn't want to listen to any of the music outside of the movie.

i wouldn't want to listen to this shit either tho

cheerleading and marching band movies are the same genre, but dance movies are an entirely seperate, if similiar, genre.

I liked Stomp Tha Yard. It was kind of like School Daze only not.

Plus Chris Brown dies in it.

fun /= good necessarily

This is a mystifying aspect of nu-ILM.

the fun-haters have taken over, get used to it.

Right, I forgot.

those wearing boots with the fur will be first against the wall

I think that's actually a line in the song!

Ha ha I didn't even vote in this. Between Cassie Fan Club and Space Battle Techno I'm really cranking up the dubious-meme-o-meter.

the wedding singer of songs, 4reals. nah tim's kudos was ok, then when yr tape stores started stocking it it felt like the usual glomming pall. this is why pat swayze got cancer people!

oh, fuck off, btw

369 still a jam!

ok so 'say cheese' is one of the best trax here, and of the year, but WHO IS KC?

OTM!!! p.s. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=49437909

p.s. lex, have you written much about the-dream's debut?

i don't think so really...slept on it for ages, but it's one of those albums that i don't feel like i have anything to say about it. i didn't feel the conflict that others (rtc and deej?) said they did, prob b/c i hear a lot more role-play and carefully set-up staginess in it than any sense of the-dream as himself. so i don't feel particularly invested in him, it's more like appreciating an actor's craft. i prefer the tracks where he's doing prince to the ones where he's doing r kelly but it's all good (apart from 'falsetto', which needs to die).

thanks for the kc link! i shall check it out when not hungover.

This movie was hysterical. Best part was Kima yelling at her not-daughter (actually the daughter of BJ from BJ and the Bear?!?!) for dancing on trains and posting it on youtube (somehow I imagine the Baltimore PD does not spend a lot of time worrying about reckless train dancing, but maybe that was in Season 6 of the Wire.) "I know you've been dancing on trains! With masks! It's on the news now! DANCING ON TRAINS! That's it. I'm shipping you to Texas. Trains. What's wrong with you?"

never mind inverting usual movie logic by making the posh rich kids the heroes and the street kids the villains.

Poor posh rich kids. Always so put upon.

i know right? thankfully step up 2 was there to alert us to this injustice.

i lol'd like 5-6 times at this trailer 2night

eyensemble

oh wow, that looks really good!

hip-hop is all about invading space

yeah i'm actually looking forward to that. bonus points for using "Low" and "Church" in the trailer

was "dance flick" any good? i might have to netflix it

fwiw i kind of love the wayans

everyone go see Step Up 3D this summer! it was one of my late round pick in my summer movie fantasy league

what i saw of Dance Flick was good as far as those movies go.

anyone heard the step up 3 soundtrack? looks unremarkable :/

also "Killa" is still awesome!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkkOYq1DO6U

awesome new "KC" song: http://danjahandz.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/kevin-cossom-babyoriginal-version

oh wait this is the actual single:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf7IXUzAIKE

idk what happened to the hook on the official single

I have been thinking about polling the Step Up movies on ILF but I will probably just post here instead.

I have been weirdly obsessed with Step Up Revolution,lately

Is this the only thread for the Step Up movies?!

Anyway, Rookie OTM
AS USUAL

http://rookiemag.com/2013/10/literally-the-best-thing-ever-step-up/

2 The Streets is still the highlight of the franchise for me but I like how the first movie literally made a baby

Revolution was completely ridiculous. Sort of enjoyed it, but definitely felt stupider afterwards.

this was the first blu-ray I bought, such a good film

lol at lex's first listen to the-dream upthread :D

Step Up 3D inspired me to take hip-hop dance lessons. (I took only took three, but I was proud of myself for following through).

Somehow missed Revolution. Might have to hunt down a cheap copy.
