September 21, 20168 yr Earthquake and Mama Do The Hump both tunes!! Edited September 21, 20168 yr by HarryEzra
September 21, 20168 yr Author *sighs* I remember when Labrinth used to produce good music Agreed! Jealous is a massive letdown.
September 21, 20168 yr Author Lloyd "Dedication To My Ex [Miss That]" (feat. Andre 3000 & Lil Wayne) | 01/01/12 iW1W34A-n4I This is absolutely class. Such a great tune, unfortunately it was somewhat of a one hit wonder for Lloyd, but this track that combines R&B vibes with some crooning, soul-influenced vocals and it's a genuinely great listen if you want to hear something you probably didn't realise you knew. Loads of 'pussy' references, not a surprise that it was a hit, though, as I did find more songs swore a few years back. I leave you with this question - have you noticed how around 2012-13 more songs swore than they have done this year? Anyway, this doesn't detract from the fact this is a huge tune - exactly what I wanted from this thread, to rediscover some insane music. Love. what do you think of this track? feel free to leave a reply w/ your opinion! Edited September 21, 20168 yr by mdh
September 21, 20168 yr Earthquake and Dedication To My Ex were my JAMS!!! I actually mostly listened to the radio edit of that last one, it was easier on the ears than the one with all the pussy references :lol:
September 21, 20168 yr I used to be obsessed with Dedication To My Ex, such a tune. I always though the girl in the video was great, it was only recently that I realised that it was Natalie La Rose.
September 21, 20168 yr Dedication To My Ex (Miss That) haven't had that for a long time that was brilliant. He might have meant this cat but clearly not with the reference he was making. Also featured on 'BedRock' and did he appear in a UK #20 hit in 2005 with Ja Rule?

Also featured on 'BedRock' and did he appear in a UK #20 hit in 2005 with Ja Rule? Yep, called Caught Up - it spent 2 weeks in the top 40 in Spring 2005. He's also had some flop singles that all just missed out on the top 40 by a few places.
September 22, 20168 yr Catchy track that & I did enjoy it at the time but it's nothing I revisit too often. Edited September 22, 20168 yr by Ðøßßø
September 23, 20168 yr Author Drake "Take Care" (feat. Rihanna) | 01/01/12 -zzP29emgpg This is a discovery for me! I'd never heard this before previous to this for some reason. It's very similar to Too Good but a whole lot better. Drakes rap is brilliant as per, and it sounds so fresh right now - even in 2016! Could easily be a hit again if it was re-released. This was before Drakes mainstream success, and I'm sad I didn't find this before. Tune. what do you think of this track? feel free to leave a reply w/ your opinion!

September 23, 20168 yr Author Professor Green "Read All About It Pt.1" (feat. Emeli Sandé) | 01/01/12 -_oLfC5Z_Ys This was the start of the year of Emeli Sandé - after being a #1 this hung around for months into the start of 2012, and what an anthem it is! Love the emotional chorus from Emeli and Green's rap is brilliant. Always been a fan of him and I'd love for him to come out with something similar to this again! That'd be brilliant. I always listen to this when I'm down or I need a bit of retro - genuinely a timeless song that I think we all know, and I'd be surprised if any of you dislike it. what do you think of this track? feel free to leave a reply w/ your opinion!
September 23, 20168 yr The best that Professor Green did, I remember people saying that was his version of Eminem's 'Love The Way You Lie' when it come out from various people around.
September 23, 20168 yr Flo Rida - Good Feeling: Good track, I loved it at that time but totally bored by now. Was overplayed. Labrinth - Earthquake: fantastic track with some electro beats :wub: (and lots better than Beneath your Beautiful....) Mama Do The Hump: Never liked it.... Lloyd - Dedication to My Ex: The best urban track at that time. Couldn't stop listening to it :wub: :wub: :wub: Drake feat. Rihanna - Take Care: Another brilliant track! And Drake made better music at that time imo. Although he was rather on the safe side in 2011-2012 and now he's experimenting more. Professor Green -Read All About It: I much prefer this version than the Emeli Sande part 2 version. (I think it was played to death and that's why) BTW just listening to Dedication to my Ex again. Could hit the charts even today, such a TUNE! :lol:
September 23, 20168 yr Take Care is absolutely sublime, that production is just :heart: interestingly I wasn't fond of it at first but it's definitely one of my faves of both of their discographies. Read All About It is just annoying really, too overplayed at the time & hasn't aged all that well.
September 23, 20168 yr Have some good memories of a lot of these actually - they were prominent and played a lot during my first year at uni, Earthquake in particular was an absolutely *.* moment both in a club and on the radio! Shame both artists haven't produced something a tenth as good since. Read All About It beating it to number 1 looks rather bizarre now, especially as it's not even the most prominent version of that song any more! I did always have a soft spot for it though, even if it is about as formulaic a pop/rap crossover ballad as you can get (and started the Emeli domination :/) Take Care is wonderful as well (FAR better than Too Good, which tried and failed to emulate it) visually and musically beautiful, yet subtle in it's nature. I miss when I actually really enjoyed Drake's music </3 Edited September 23, 20168 yr by Chez Wombat

September 24, 20168 yr Author Take Care should have had the run 'One Dance' did. I'd have loved that! So much more deserving.
