Juicy J Says He's Recording 75 Songs For 'Stay Trippy'
Following his career revamp with "Bandz A Maker Her Dance," his dominant presence on Rihanna's "Pour It Up" remix with Jeezy, Rozay and Tip (in my opinion), and the success of his recent "Show Out" single (I prefer the Pimp C-included remix), it's safe to say that Juicy J is in a solid stride, and with the release of his long-awaited album Stay Trippy nearing, he decided to share some words on what's going on in the back end.
Here's what he said in an interview on That Life with Carissa Rossi:
"I got over 75 songs recorded, so I just recorded a bunch of songs with a lot of different people. It wasn't like this person had to be on this one or that person had to be on that one. I was just doing songs. I would go in the studio and say, 'Let's do a song.' Sometimes I release stuff on the Internet. Sometimes I may save it for an album. It was jus...
I haven't been keeping up with this album much at all given I'm not much of a fan of The-Dream, but I figured this was worth sharing given he's got, to put it mildly, a healthy amount of followers.
What we've got here is pretty simple (and understood via the title of this article if you actually read it): The-Dream figured it worthwhile to release a free stream of his latest project, IV Play, in conjunction with Vivo as the May 28 release date approaches.
That's pretty much it. Here's the tracklist, and free stream below:
1. High Art (Feat. Jay-Z)2. IV Play3. Equestrian4. Pussy (Feat. Big Sean & Pusha T)5. Turnt (Feat. Beyoncé & 2 Chainz)6. Where Have You Been (Feat. Kelly Rowland)7. Too Early (Feat. Gary Clark Jr....
Download Everything Jay Electronica Has Ever Released
To keep things short, the good people over at No-Buzz.net tackled the arduous task of putting together a complete discography of Jay Electronica's music and features on tracks since, you know, Act II: Patents of Nobility is as likely to happen as the moon turning green, so if you're looking for something, you've got it.
Here's a bit from the release:
"It consists of 93 total tracks, including 68 solo tracks and 25 features. The 68 solo tracks also include some rough quality releases, a couple freestyles, and abridged versions of Act I, broken down in several ways as you will see in the tracklist. The 25 features also includes abridged versions of many tracks, where I’ve cut the song to only have Jay Electronica’s verse and the chorus to the track, for people like me who only want to hear Jay Elect."
So, that's pretty much it. Y...
So, remember that moment in 2008 when we all heard that Snoop Dogg would be (Auto-Tune) singing on Ego Trippin' and we all laughed until we heard "Sexual Eruption"… and then our brains fell out? Remember thinking how unlikely it was that he'd ever do anything as ill-advised or hilariously preposterous ever again? Well, um… yeah. May I introduce "Snoop Lion," his all-new reggae alter ego. Seriously.
Snoop's twelfth studio album Reincarnated drops later this year. To prove that, yeah, he's totally serious about this reggae thing, the album's lead single "La La La"—produced by Major Lazer and featuring Diplo--Mellow Mood-ed its way online this weekend. Check it out below.
First thoughts?
Well… it's not as bad as it should be. But it's not great either. I'm not even sure if it's good. The production is solid… and Snoop's vocals, in fleeting moments, don't even sound that silly… but I just cannot take him seriously. I'm sorry. As much I'm happy and willing to give Snoop credit for branching out, I'm just picturing him in full Huggy Bear costume mood saying "ting, ting" over and over again. I don't know why this is a thing. I don't know why I'm even remotely surprised by it. And I don't know why I'm listening to it again… and again…
What do you guys think of Snoop Dogg… er, Snoop Lion's new single? Get the conversation started in our comments section below.
