It's kinda crazy that Robin Thicke/Pharell/T.I. beat out JT/Jay-Z/Timbo ...

On the singles front at least.

I fukks with Suit & Tie, but even despite a big push to get it to top the charts, it topped out at three. Now don't get me wrong, that's amazing to get a song that high ... that doesn't come easy.

But Robin Thicke came through and crushed the buildings :wow:

Blurred Lines is the song of the summer, like it or not (and personally I love it :jawalrus: ) ... big move for Tip's career too at this point.

Blurred Lines is a natural Robin Thicke song. That's why it worked so well. It's not a stretch for him to make a song like that.

Black Suit & Tie, while a good song, was a stretch for JT. The falsetto, the style of music, etc......remember when it first dropped everyone said it was more of a Robin Thicke song. As a solo artist, IMO, JT has never found his own sound that you can point him towards.
First album it was Neptunes sound, next album Timb/Danja, this album Timb/JRoc.

It's good music for the most part though.

Blurred lines had a video full of hot bishes, especially the Brunette. Hence it's popularity.

"Blurred Lines" is a better, catchier, and funner record :manny:

that blurred lines video is hilarious. off the TIP dance alone.

It's good music for the most part though.

:patrice: i never noticed this until now but he pretty much just sounds like whatever sound timbo or pharrell give him.

i like his music, though i've yet to cop the new album.

random thought though...if he was black, do you think we would have sold half :mjpls:?
