I think we just found the two new pinupgirls of the forum. SMH.
 

 
Disgusted with both of you rn. You should be ashamed of yourself

Also, not that it matters, but I think K was black. The way she speaks about skin being "golden brown" (although this could be a tan) in "America" and casting A$AP rocky in National Anthem.. I don't think it was for nothing. Again, it doesn't matter I just like to have a picture in my head and now it's of A$AP lol
 
Oh yeah and the golden grill stuff and hip hop references.. (I could be wrong cus white ppl do that too)

I don't think any songs were about Chris C.. I talked to him and he said she was his muse but it was never "like that".. I think he kind of was in lust with her and she just likes being adored by anyone
 
I'm so glad this section is back btw

Lana is ready to snatch Will's wig..
Fresh Queen of The Bel Air

Putting aside the compressed-to-death terrible audio in these clips, here are some of my thoughts, both positive and negative:
 
OH MY FUCKING GOD, I THINK THEY GOT BODY ELECTRIC RIGHT. Seems like it’s going to be a tasteful arrangement and non-offensive production. PHEW. I really cannot wait to hear the string outro. I would’ve never called that the final vocal take though, not such a great vocal from the little we can hear here, though i am glad she doesn't sound as restrained as she usually does on record and that she is singing more how she does live. Please god though, fulfill my dream of a harpsichord coming in on the second verse when everything sounds like bones falling off a skeleton and crashing to the floor.
 
The piano is recorded INFINITELY better on these batch of songs than on BTD. That’s how it should’ve been recorded from the get-go.
 
I think her vocals on some of these are a little too over-emotive. They should have gotten more vocal takes out of her. I know i would have
 
The reverb on Yayo sucks my ass. That is like the worst of the worst, cheap digital reverb. Oy. However, that is how you record a piano, dude. Thank goodness. Shitty quality reverb aside, Yayo might not be a train wreck after all!
 
The first song has a Tom Waits ballad feel to it. This sounds really, really nice! The drums are understated and great.
 
American seems like it’s going to be a grower.
 
Gods & Monsters sounds really promising but dear god, the snare sound is hideous, oy. That kick drum-snare pattern sounds so stupid too. This shit should have timpani for sure. Where’s has your love for timpani gone, Lizzy?
 
Oh my god, COLA. I am floored. Everything about it, the sublime string quartet (thank fucking god for real strings, though too much fucking stereo separation, Emile, argh), the lovely tremolo guitar (though i wish this silly obsession with double tracking everything would subside), the insane, incongruous lyrics. This shit is going to be fucking amazing. I have just used the word fucking a lot.
 
Also, Rick Rubin?! Really? Interesting.
 
I am thoroughly enthused. Believe it or not.

One of the highest truth rn.. one of the highest, finest, genuine quality of truth.

That cover art is atrocious.. and so shopped its silly. But I'm glad Yayo is gonna get some recognition to the casual fans that don't know about it. And I think Pussy is the track with Angel Haze

Is there a possibility that there will be 'special edition' tracks for this release too?
 
A la Without You, Lolita and Lucky Ones?

It's a little repetitive don't you think? Put Me in a Movie is also repetitive you'd say but at least she's playing with her voice.
Not a bad song and definitely not her best.

Every Saturday night I get dressed up to ride for you, baby
Cruising down the street on Hollywood and Vine for you, baby
I drive fast, wind in my hair
I push it to the limits 'cause I just don't care
You ask me where I've been, I've been everywhere
But I don't wanna be nowhere but here

(Come on tell me, boy)

I've got a burning desire for you, baby
I've got a burning desire for you, baby
I drive fast, wind in my hair
Push it to the limits 'cause I just don't care
I've got a burning desire for you, baby

Every Saturday night I seem to come alive for you, baby
Santa Monica, I'm racing in the lights for you, baby
I drive fast, radio blares
Have to touch myself to pretend you're there
Your hands were on my hips, your name was on my lips
Over over again like my only prayer

(Come on tell me, boy)

I've got a burning desire for you, baby
I've got a burning desire for you, baby
I drive fast, wind in my hair
Push it to the limits 'cause I just don't care
I've got a burning desire for you, baby

I'm driving fast, flash
Everyone knows it
I'm trying to get to you, baby
I'm feeling scared and you know it
(x4)

I've got a burning desire for you, baby
I've got a burning desire for you, baby
I drive fast, wind in my hair
Push it to the limits 'cause I just don't care
I've got a burning desire for you, baby

Yayo~.. GO!
Yayu~.. SHAW!
 
Yayo~.. YEA YEAH!
How now~... HOW NOW!

'Dat photoshop tho

These titles are pretty bad and i’m disappointed that the longer titles were shortened. Ride, Cola, and Gods & Monsters are eXXXplicit, dawg. So many people are going to be SO pissed with whatever form Yayo takes on in this release. SO PISSED. Why would she even rerecord this song for this release? Is she insane? Does this mean that AKA is definitely remaining in oblivion? She already, so early in her public career, reminds me of one legendary music group (who i shall not name) who is notorious for continually making the wrong decisions and endlessly frustrating their fans.
 
Two discs, obviously. Don’t see how it couldn’t be. It’s nice that it’s nine tracks, but at the same time the nature of this release strikes me as kind of stupid. Why not add a few more and call it a new album? It almost seems as if she’s trying to box herself into the mold that the media and public know her by from her recent rise to fame.
 
The running times on tracks 1-15 are ever so slightly different (1 to 2 second differences on some) which, i think, either means: a) they’ve been inputed incorrectly by iTunes or they're only listing the actual running time of the music sans any silence, b) the space in between tracks was tinkered with a little for this release, or c) they could be longer/shorter fades (and if so that might very well mean that they even did additional things/changes to the recordings). Any word on the first fifteen tracks? They should be exactly the same masters as BTD, right?
 
That Burning Desire clip is doing nothing for me. That melody is so generic Maybe it’ll be a grower though. Hope so. It’s weird, i almost feel as if i’m listening to a drone. It sounds so brickwalled. Oh well, it’s top 40 music, what am i expecting.
 
I’m not sure if the the album cover is somehow good or if it’s atrocious. I'm very confused about this. I guess it would be a nice touch if it was a cardboard slipcase and the gold was embossed. It kind of seems like a caricature though, a self-parody. At least the color correction is not heinous like in those Nicole Nodland Summertime Sadness promo shots. Though the airbrushing of her skin makes me want to go off the grid and live a hermetic life atop a very far away mountain.
 
At any rate, i'm still very excited for this release.
