I've been listening to Shock Value 2 more recently...its alright. Symphony is my favourite track...Brandy/Brand'Nu really did a good job with her rapping

I need to check out Malice n Wonderland...

Rebirth comes out in Feb I think...

[iThePirate]

timbaland is shit, not 'the' shit just plain shit, feces, crap, poo, excrements.

good producers include but are not limited to: snowgoons, chum the skrilla guerilla, stoupe the enemy of mankind, dj large, embee, dr. dre and masse.

fuck timbaland!

[Bugzee]

^ How can you forget the Alchemist??? One of my favourite producers! Chemical Warfare was the shit!

Yea, I agree iPirate - Timbo has fallen and most of his music nowadays is shit. I preferred his work from the 90's tbh.

I just had a quick listen to Malice n Wonderland and tbh I didn't really like it. 'Secrets' was an alright tune (glad to see BattleCat still producing smooth west coast tunes), Gangsta Love is a typical 'fun-like' song for the charts and I dig it a bit (but becomes very dull after a couple of plays)..I don't know.. I might come back and give it a try again in a couple weeks or so.

Hmm I did not like Malice'n'Wonderland either. It kinda was too monotone for me. Too oldschool-ish and I dunno.. I not like the feature songs either. Special was quite ok though. He definitely should work more often with Pharrell, cuz the collabo songs are usually great.

Timbo's was not that bad actually.. there surely are some nice tracks.. but all in all it's shit, I agree. I can't be doing with the voice mixer, it just totally suck. Also she should not even try singing Rnb/Pop or whatever it was supposed to be ..hate the most beats,.. just too electronic/trash-poppy/w/e.. The songs are all (!) way (!) too long, it's no fun at all.

Some songs are did enjoy tho' were;
Lose Control - I was quite surprised, but Jojo die a really nice job. Nice pop song!
Long Way Down - less Timboparts would be better though
Undertow - great mid-tempo song, no voice mixer, no annoying-electro beats, Esthero got a nice voice, but also here too much Timbo
The One I Love - well yeah Keri Hilson guess it's for the fans of the first Shock Value.. I'd like to have some more songs with her on the second part though..

the rest annoys me. I kinda liked If We Ever Meet Again and We Belong To The Music aswell.. but after listening to em few times they started freakin me out.

As for Wayne.. it leaked out a month ago already, but well.. it was said it is supposed to be a Rock album or whatever.. but IMO adding in a few e-guitar parts does not make crappy rapper to rockstars

There's a song I adore though.. Drop The World (feat. Eminem)

[Bugzee]

Yeah I know TrioStar!!!!!! That Drop The World song is fricking awesome. I always play that shit LOOOOUD!!!!!

[blai]

Holy FUCK Drop the World is awesome. Found it HQ on spotify. This is one of the few good new songs I've heard in a loooooong time. This might bring me back, both to the gym and the hip-hop world

[Evil3ye]

Hah.. I already told you last month, but you were like 'omg no Im so into Kate Bush, Aqualung, leave me alone' (lololol)

It's the 5th single from Rebirth btw (after Prom Queen, Hot Revolver, On Fire, Da Da Da (?)). However this is the best track for me, though Prom Queen is not that bad either.

[blai]

Nooo, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww that's autotune and shit. Makes me puke! Get it away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, It's sooo All-American Rejects, Boys Like Girls and All Time Low. Aqualung was soo -09

agreed one of the most overrated characters in hiphop today.

Mmmh.. I disagree.
He's pretty much a 'one-hit wonder' and everyone knows it. Nobody expect him to be any good for more.

At least from that what I have heard so far

[iThePirate]

yeah, i guess thats true didnt see it quite like that.

ah well he still sucks one hit or not.

[Bugzee]
