I can't even listen to the autotune version after listening to this one:



Girl you know I I I I
hi-C
It's nice to see that he actually has talent. That being said, this song is so cringe-worthy. I listened to it in the car the other day with my mom and she was kinda bopping along, completely oblivious to the fact that he was singing "Birthday sex, birthday sex, birthday sex."
DoubleJ
This song goes so hard! Every time I hear it I think about how my friend has a song EXACTLY like this but he still hasn't blown up
SuckDickNSaveLives
^Can you post that if you can? I want to take a listen.

Hahaha I couldn't agree with you more. That reminds me of the time I heard my mom singing all the words to J. Holiday's Bed. sick.gif

That song was dope. It's on that grown folks ish.

And damn, who is that girl in that vid? She fine as hell.

ROFL! Ew.
DoubleJ
inorite? He is from Chi-town and has been compared to R. Kelly. Everybody knows about him. Diddy wanted him for day26 making of the band but he said no...foolish mistake.
SuckDickNSaveLives

Foolish mistake, possibly, but I heard Diddy doesn't pay his artists the way they are supposed to be payed. Recently I heard Young Joc was suing him for royalties. So maybe your friend realized that. *shrugs*
DoubleJ
Yeah he did
hi-C
It's not just the royalties, he doesn't market his artists right. The only ones that get publicity are those on the Making the Band series.

So the song isn't about the girl, it's really about the guy, how he's feining for some ass, and he's coercing the girl to give him ass on her birthday.

Great. Same shit, different tune.

Damn. Now, let's replace Pleasure P with him.

No, you're just presumptuous. Just because something is mainstream doesn't make it bad. Just because something is underground, that doesn't mean that it's good.

Guilty Simpson is underground, but he's f*cking boring to me. Lupe Fiasco is now mainstream, and I can listen to his music all day.
illriginal
No.. it's because this song really f*ckin sucks and doesn't differ from any other artist with the same ass message.

I'll admit, home boy has a good voice... his lyrics is no different.


That's the scheme of the music industry. f*ck what they been through, we just want their voice, good (over used) beats, and OUR content, OUR lyrics.


The song name should be, "I'm feining for ass, so give me some birthday sex on your birthday, because it's all about me"
But whatever.


lol Guilty Simpson isn't even underground, he's made a few tracks here and there with a few underground artists, that's it. Mainstreams don't even know what underground is about .. HA!!!

How is Guilty Simpson mainstream? Seriously. That's like saying that Percee P is a household name. If you're an independent artist with a small fanbase and no broad exposure, you're considered underground. Are you referring to an artist's style? I don't understand how you're making the distinction.

Jeremih is certainly no Raphael Saadiq. If he actually did write better music, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Nonetheless, he is talented. I'm certainly not playing the piano and singing tenor on youtube.

I'm not claiming he's mainstream.. but he's not underground. How can someone claim to be underground with the same ass message of the mainstream.. that's just f*ckin retarded beyond this galaxy.

An independent artist doesn't mean they're an underground artist. Independence doesn't mean much other than liberation, freedom (specially of speech), and makin full profit. There is no contract that binds the artist to anything, like coca cola for example. Does his content meet the criteria of what is known in the underground? Nope. His content meets the criteria of the mainstream, only thing he's done is add underground artists to his music.


Underground isn't just about style... and it's not the primary criteria. Content is the primary criteria. The beauty about the underground is... is that it's never repetitive, every single individual has their own content.

From that perspective, I see what you mean.

But here's a paradox; Skillz, the ghostwriter/producer/emcee who satirizes mainstream rap music could be considered underground. When splitting hairs that much, it becomes a matter of opinion.

Whatever.

With the repetitive message. Let me ask you... if I sat you down in front of a T.V. for how ever long you've been listening to music (with more than likely the same message), and I made you watch Barney (sp?) for that many years, consistently, over and over.. Would you not go out of your freakin mind? Cuz I'll tell you what, I'd blow my own head off.


Anyways, I randomly decided to listen to this song already knowing what the content was gonna be (obviously it's about sex), I'm just amazed how easy it is now a days to catch the indoctrination that goes on.


I can only imagine, as usual, men and women are going to use this pathetic noise they call a song on birthdays just to set the "mood" lol...

I'd MIGHT like if all the girls at my school would stop singing it so much.

it's catchy. i don't think it's as boring as a lot of songs coming out nowadays. i like to listen to it here and there and i agree with those who said it's nice to see he does actually have some musical capability. i hope he'll use it to make some better songs.




wtf @ the fight over content. as if underground music can't be repetitive as f*ck. example i mean how many times are we going to have to listen to immortal tech read his essays over shitty production with with his awful flow? (and by flow i just mean talking in a angry tone)? same shit over and over. it's not like he is the first person to ever have these thoughts. i don't even dislike tech necessarily but my point is that when i listen to his songs i don't get some new "message" that i've never heard before.

anyone talking about sex, drugs, money, love, politics, being poor, racism, violence, friends, clubs, parties, being sad, being happy, having a good time, loving life, hating life, family problems, ect is repetitive pretty much. what do underground artists talk about? aliens? new scientific discoveries we don't know about yet? nah they talk about love and sex and politics and problems in the world just like everyone else basically. people who write off any music that is popular as shitty music are f*cking idiots. people are gonna keep on talking about love and sex and all this nonsense because it's a big part of our life as humans. how repetitive!

I love how you can only call out Immortal Technique, pretty much everytime. You don't have a f*ckin clue, do you?
brooklyneast05
i love how you can't ever get the point of something so you concern yourself more with examples than with meanings. the point is that both underground and mainstream are capable of making repetitive music, and do. there, maybe people won't miss it now. i can't spell it out any clearer than this though. i'm using him as an example since he's the poster child, especially here. i even used the word example when i referred to him. i don't see a problem with me calling him out though. is he not an example of someone who makes repetitive songs with repetitive messages that are not 100% new? regardless of the fact i like some of his shit, i wouldn't call it a new message that's never been said before.

i don't have a f*ckin clue though? this is coming from the guy who thinks all music can be separated into two groups, underground and mainstream, and that those groups define whether they are good/repetitive/ect thumbsup.gif

lol @ telling me i'm making assumptions while you make assumptions about me in the same post. if you wanna pretend like underground music is exempt from ever being repetitive then go for it, but to say anything is exempt from repetition makes no sense in my opinion.

It's an alright song. I like the raw version way better, though. Just something about it doesn't make me like the song though.

When I first heard it a while back I was like "Wtf is this shit?" But they play it so much on the radio now that I had to download it.
