US billboard top hip-hop & r&b songs for the week of 05/14/11

chris brown is the new drake is the new lil wayne

not surprising, but I haven't heard most of these. "Love Letter" is still awesome, though, so I'm voting for R. Kelly.

kinda feeling a larger % of this list than i expected

top 10:
1. sure thing
2. grove st. party
3. pretty girl rock
4. far away
5. you be killin' 'em
6. motivation
7. bring it back
8. your love
9. cupid
10. show goes on

bottom 10:
1. all of the lights
2. my last
3. no hands
4. run the world (girls)
5. hustle hard
6. roll up
7. love faces
8. aston martin music
9. fall for your type
10. can't be friends

01. kelly rowland "motivation"
02. keri hilson "pretty girl rock"
03. lloyd "cupid"
04. trey songz "love faces"
05. mary mary "walking"
06. r. kelly "love letter"
07. nicki minaj "did it on'em"
08. chris brown "no bullshit"
09. fabolous "you be killin 'em"
10. diddy-dirty money "your love"

bottom 5

beyonce "run the world (girls)"
yc "racks"
mary j blige "someone to love me (naked)"
lupe fiasco "show goes on"
big sean "my last"

is kirko bangz a weird/terrible pun on kurt cobain? this has bothered me for a while now

looking forward to that new nicki track crashing this

i don't mind the "my last"/"make a movie" hooks by themselves, but as songs they're pretty insipid

idk if "super bass" will be big on hip-hop/r&b stations -- i think that's why they have "did it on em" as a single too

u might be right

nah i take that back -- if 'roll up' is on this list, so will super bass

"Roll Up" is total R&B radio bait, only scans as particularly 'pop' if you focus on it being prod by Stargate

top 10

1. nicki minaj - did it on 'em
2. diddy/dirty money ft. trey songz - your love
3. marsha ambrosius - far away
4. miguel - sure thing
5. keri hilson - pretty girl rock
6. kelly rowland ft. lil wayne - motivation
7. travis porter - bring it back
8. beyoncé - run the world (girls)
9. waka flocka flame ft. wale & roscoe dash - no hands
10. r. kelly - love letter

too many i'm unfamiliar with though. unexpected winner for me! worst - "all of the lights" or "aston martin music" or any of the chris brown ones on principle.

the full 7-minute version of "far away" >>>>>> what i assume is the radio edit.

how is that unexpected? blah blah blah STEPSON

i've been hearing the full 7-minute "far away" on the radio around here

top 10

1. sure thing
2. grove st party
3. bring it back (underrated imo)
4. roll up
5. hustle hard (remix)
6. racks
7. motivation
8. all of the lights
9. anything
10. cupid

bottom 5

5. she ain't you (this song should be good but it's just not)
4. pretty girl rock
3. my last
2. run the world (girls)
1. the show goes on (absolutely dire)

"did it on em" isn't that great to begin w/ but the radio edit is gruesome

i absolutely adore the "fall for your type" and "there goes my baby" beats as used on the angel haze mixtape but never connected with either original

otoh the radio edit of "bring it back" is hilarious & amazing since the song becomes 20% female orgasm noises

"best night of my life" & "fall for your type" are both decent songs that i'd let play out on the radio but they're just kinda... there

3. bring it back (underrated imo)

think i might even prefer it to "make it rain" (the original of which got overshadowed by how widespread the beat ended up being)

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

f u hating on pretty girl rock

i f/w brainwasher's list

"bring it back" is amazing, better than "make it rain" imo -- i wish there was a new travis porter single every other week cuz their songs sorta suffer on their mixtapes cuz everything is so simple & similar but in the context of the radio that simplicity & nonchalance really stands out

i had to take a cab to the hospital this morning and "pretty girl rock" coming on the radio really took the edge off that

i will admit that my opinion of "pretty girl rock" has been permanently ruined by the fact that i only hear the kanye remix, which is just horrifying -- it's like if i was handed a once perfectly fine gallon of milk that someone had pissed in -- that said i still do think that the original is pretty corny

& "roll up" is my #1 windows down jam of the year

"Sure Thing" is such a lovely thing.

as much as I like "Bring It Back," "Make It Rain" just felt very nothing to me, like OK take a phrase that's already overexposed and do a song with a less catchy hook than the song Lil Wayne did with that title years ago

"cupid" is polow's best production in a while, love the guitar on it

also i'm hoping this akon/chris brown song takes off cuz apparently he did that too

1. chris brown - no bullshit
2. keri hilson - pretty girl rock
3. waka flocka flame ft kebo gotti - grove st party
4. r. kelly - love letter
5. miguel - sure thing
6. trey songz - love faces
7. diddy-dirty money ft trey songz - your love
8. kanye west ft rihanna - all of the lights
9. jennifer hudson - where you at
10. twista ft chris brown - make a movie

^^love all these

i like that marsha song but it's not really one of my favorites on the album or anything, same with the jeremih/50 - prob the worst song on that VERY SLEPT ON album. "down on me" is a good club song tho

basically fuck everything else having to do with young money and/or chris brown

cupid is super corny - i imagine a disney princess singing that or something. ne-yo would be embarrassed. it's a nice tune tho

"down on me" is pretty great, prob missed my list due to oversaturation -- the thing that's great about that song is that jeremih comes off as sufficiently sleazy while still being pretty charming & funny -- it's a delicate thing that he hits

is kirko bangz a weird/terrible pun on kurt cobain? this has bothered me for a while now

yeah i'm pretty sure it is and yeah it's horrible

LOL kevin -- they probably could've waited for the next shrek movie, you're right

i searched for "love faces" and "mmts" the other day and was surprised no one had talked about it yet. it's a joint!

look at me now
sure thing
far away
motivation
down on me
love letter
fall for your type
bring it back
pretty girl rock
cupid
gone and never coming back

that's in no order bc absolutely nothing stands out as being great. they all get B+'s. no idea what i'd vote for.

xp no we definitely did, altho this was the extent of it

MAKING LOVE FECES
MAKING LOOOOOVEEEE FECES

"love faces" is such a creepy ass song

― wavy g. wavegarten (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, March 23, 2011 9:16 PM (1 month ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

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"

going through the kelly price/jill scott/anthony david joints...all are good! better than those jeremih and lloyd singles you all keep overrating

"love faces" is definitely not a particular standout on the trey album to me

lol sarge

the lloyd banks/jeremih single is kinda decent too, it's a nice nostalgia trip back to 2003 at the least

i pretty much dig any Jeremih song except for the 2 giant hits which i'm totally indifferent to

did you ever listen to the second album?

nah -- it's pretty hard for me to make time for a recent release once i'm out of its calender year

if the estelle/rick ross joint was in this top 50 it might be my #1

argh listen to it xp

re: "no bullshit" i was actually gonna ask you or brainwasher or someone to give me a quick POV of tha bizness r&b tracks, i don't know where to go w/ them cuz they don't have a wikipedia

down on me 4 life

you'd chafe pretty bad eventually

not first as in oldest, right? i remember surfboard posting about them in like early '09

That whole travis porter tape is p good, nice blend of like every southern rap trend since 05 in each song

forget it, j0rdan, you'll never get anywhere talking about what a beat actually sounds like instead of how it "functions" around here

lol this post still cracks me up every time

GOTRACKSONRACKSONRAAAAAAAAACKS

god i love this bullshit song

can i get a glossolalia allstars uk remix ft flirta d

i'm just listening to the radio now but this big sean 'marvin gaye & chardonnay' song is kinda incoherently lol

bit like diddy dirty money as reimagined by retards

hahah

"my last" = "good life" as reimagined by 12 year olds

i partic like the bit where yeezy acknowledges the beat sounds like a rocking chair

i'm just listening to the radio now but this big sean 'marvin gaye & chardonnay' song is kinda incoherently lol

i kind of like that it get right to the point

(ASS)

that song is ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS

marvin gaye & chardonnay is such a waste of a good chorus

take kanye off and give it to soulja boy

that HOL UP, HOL UP, HOL UP, HOL UP, HOL UP, HOL UP thing they do on that is just... staggeringly unpleasant

such douchebags

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv5hFjxU7Hs

not dissimilar

refuse to listen to that song

I still haven't heard "My Last".

great hook + beat & then big sean

well i forget that you hate chris brown, so you'll really, really hate it

"quicki" is pretty awesome, isn't it? think it's about time for me to listen to the miguel album

also, am i just hearing things, or is that an intentional reference to bob marley in the chorus?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUICKI

i don't think the marley resemblance is intentional but that little harmony is definitely my favorite part of the song

took a long time but I've come around to hustle hard

the jeezy verse on the remix is O_O

you mean ross?

prob could do the second edition of htis poll

there's a version with jeezy?

that song is so lurching and unpleasant imo

xpost

there's a remix w/ jeezy on it

that's what I thought at first too some dude but it's its greatest strength. so relentless, if you're in the mood for it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeRuYwh0be4

i love the wayne/ross remix

the follow-up to hustle hard that sounds just like it is better imo

oh no

i just mean it's less hammeringly unpleasant really, it's not like i love it or anything

the beat is straight in jeezy's wheelhouse imo

even though jeezy's best producers are all the guys luger bit his sound from i don't really like 'ballin' or him on that

I love ballin til wayne's verse

"12 gauge... I got a dozen of em" is worse than a grocery bag imo

I am dubbing jeezy's style 'southern gothic' btw
