is this the best of the turn of the millennium's "off-brand timbaland" r&b tunes? (i can't find producer credit, btw.)

also is this the best of the turn of the millennium's xylophone r&b tunes?

R.I.P. toya, i hope you get a plot next yummy bingham or teairra mari in the R&B starlet elephant's graveyard

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 10 May 2007 18:33 (nineteen years ago)

― and what, Thursday, 10 May 2007 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

that & aaliyahs s/t and the 1st amerie joint were my r&b albums to just play out all summer

― and what, Thursday, 10 May 2007 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

i think trackmasters did some beats on it?? ill check when i get home

― and what, Thursday, 10 May 2007 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

i was just listening to aaliyah s/t earlier

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 10 May 2007 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

first amerie is good too. ol' richcraft was humping the same plastic-y triplet thing as everyone else at the time, of course.

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 10 May 2007 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

Steph Jones, who I mentioned in the Rolling R&B Thread, plays the lead male interest in the vid! How weird lol.

"five fabulous weeks of nickleback"

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

the best thing about the toya vid is the bit when they get POSSESSSED by the SPAZZ BEAT SWITCH!! i always confused her with kandi too.

internet says it was produced by er, <a href="http://www.starpoynt.com/magazine12/id10.html">the nimrods</a>... but this is the thing about the pink comparison too tho, it wz such a healthy pop time for random producers aping stuff with big bright colours. especially euro dudes! like that first christina milian cd brought to you by irv gotti, the artful dodger and THE PEOPLES OF SCANDINAVIA

― r|t|c, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

samantha mumba springs unbidden to mind

(i lie, i loved 'gotta tell you')

― lex pretend, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:19 (nineteen years ago)

haahaha man i was on christina milians dick back then too

― and what, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

actually, i still don't know what genius produced 'am to pm'!

stargate are the only ones left now i guess. bhangra times were good for the world too, even tho i'm still not sure i'd care to revisit just yet

― r|t|c, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

i dunno, wasn't there just a thread how some crazed norwegians are set to take over our charts via ne-yo et al?

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

am to pm was dudes who went on to do 'toxic' i think

The backing for "Sweet Dreams (My LA Ex)" has also been re-used by American artist Brooke Valentine for her album track, "Blah Blah Blah."

i totally forgot about this

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

too bad for them that brooke valentine bricked

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

not too bad for us because that album sucked

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

wasnt there some breathless ilm thread calling it the best album since that shitty basement jaxx album

I STARTED THAT ONE (except i didn't mention b jaxx)

― lex pretend, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

man i loved that ms dynamite track tho - jzone/beatnuts accordian loop w/ fingerwagging r&b lyrics!!

― and what, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

brooke is great, anyway. was. she's in that r&b elephant's graveyard too i guess now.

― lex pretend, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

if anyone has an mp3 of total's what the dealio lying around, i would really like to hear that right now

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

i saw brooke at 112 last year, she was really smiley & shiny & had a baggy promo tshirt on

Whatever happened to Total anyway? "Kissin You" is like one of the best songs of the 90s.

― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 10 May 2007 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

haha did anyone ever come across <a href="[Removed Illegal Link] unreleased 2nd album??</a> i downloaded it the other month and there was one japanesey tune with the clipse on it. it sucked.

4real, that brooke val was a total throwback to them days. i liked it tho, like if u could handle an ep of desperate housewives then u were set cos that is that on wax. plus if pink had made those songs she'd have had 10 number ones no problem.

are there any other euro/norwegians at large then besides neyo? i figured once they managed to make a beat on nas' album the country gave up.

i lost my copy of this cd :-(

thnx for the upload

― deej, Thursday, 10 May 2007 20:38 (nineteen years ago)

the only one i was listening to when it was out was the amerie, aaliyah was EVERYWHERE so i didnt even bother and i barely remember toya and didn't discover her til like '03 when i was going through all this shit i missed (thnx ilm)

― deej, Thursday, 10 May 2007 20:39 (nineteen years ago)

Please don't sleep on Toya's equally awesome "OMG it sounds like rave music!" follow-up single "Don't Stop (Party All Night)" or whatever it was - I'm pretty sure Mitch will represent for it. Also the single included theamazing "I Do Pt 2"!!! Which was some kind of chunky Trackmasters on an electroacoustic tip affair. A totally different song (also as a general rule the Trackmasters were always at the best when making sequels - check "Bills Bills Bills" and "Best of Me" sequels in particular).

I miss that time when all R&B singers felt obliged to put out sequels.

― Tim F, Thursday, 10 May 2007 21:51 (nineteen years ago)

Actually it was "No Matter What (Party All Night)" wasn't it?

― Tim F, Thursday, 10 May 2007 22:48 (nineteen years ago)

hmm yeah i clocked that part 2 on amazon earlier! mostly tho it provoked me into a brief wondering about how murphy lee managed to make a comeback in 07.

otherwise, yes it was and there u go

― r|t|c, Thursday, 10 May 2007 23:02 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha now I'm getting nostalgic for my much-beloved "Dirty Girl (Remix)" by Latrelle!

― Tim F, Thursday, 10 May 2007 23:04 (nineteen years ago)

on the bright side tho, only 3 years til latrelle's album comes out! ...on cassette!
