you're right though, that tweet song is off the chain... i bought the cd for "smokin' cigarettes" after i saw her do it on mtv... i never really cared for "oops" (although it has grown on me)... but when i got to complain, i was like, "damn this is different"... and "motel"... "go to hell, baby"... nod... she killed it...


I'm saying nod

Its a helluva debut album minus the lead singles. Tweet possesses maturity 2wice her age and the woman is a tight lyrics writer.


it really is... even including the lead singles, it's still a damn good debut album... i don't think "oops" really fits the mood of the rest of the album, but it's a good club jam...

i don't know how much help she had in the lyrics department, but her lyrics were def above and beyond those of most other r&b debuts of the past few years... i'd say her debut was as tight as alicia's... and the production was a little better, too (somebody shoulda replaces alicia's drum machines with a real drummer)... i think the duet with bilal was badass, too...

i also like the fact that her album wasn't loaded with guest stars... i think a lot of people shove a million and one guests stars on their albums to get them to sell... but i think tweet did a good job of trying to stand on her own... missy was the only big star on the album, because bilal is hardly a superstar...

Prince- Delirious. heavy on the rockabilly action.



Yeah.That sounds about as "country" as Ice Cube's "Now I Gotta Wet 'Cha" lol

On the other hand , according to Supernova , Funkadelic's "One Nation Under A Groove" contains a banjo...


Actually, it sounds quite country. From the timing to the washboard percussion, to the twangy synths. yesiree, sounds mighty country to me. wink

oh yeah, Supernova's right about the banjo.
