MaxFly Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 After alot of weeks of L&F... I came to the conclusion that without switch and if u can't dance... this would be the best album 2005. Now it gets beaten by Common so far. ← I don't know about that 'cause I think "Go!" is kinda boring, "If You Can't Dance" has more energy than "Go!" does and I don't think "BE" is Common's best album but that's a whole another discussion, if "Lost and Found" was shortened to about 10-12 tracks it'd be a perfect album like "Code Red", adding more brings up debate usually. ← But you're not saying that If You Can't Dance is a better track are you...

Ted, if Will had recorded Go and Common had recorded If You Can't Dance, and they were exactly the same, you would say that Common's If You Can't Dance is better than Will's Go right...

cataboy3 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Go is a better song than If U Can't Dance, no matter who sings it in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Hero1 Posted August 9, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I thought all the beats on commons album sounded the same :ShockRifle: :ShockRifle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxFly Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I believe that the removal of "If You Can't Dance" and the addition of "Coming to the Stage" would have made the album better... I don't think that Wave 'Em Off is as bad as some people make it out to be, and if there is a track on the album that it is better than, I think it is If You Can't Dance, regardless of what track it was based on. The beat isn't that good, and the lyrics really aren't that good. Was Will contrained by Roxanne, Roxanne... most likely, but that still doesn't make the track good. Incidentally, if people are truly serious in saying that they want Will to gain more respect in hip hop circles, are truly annoyed about black entertainment establishments not playing his music and are not just complaining for complaining's sake, I suggest you slowly back away from any advocacy of If You Can't Dance as a single or having a music video.

Admin Hero1 Posted August 9, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Maxfly If you cant dance is one of those fun tracks.. you cant be serious all the time.. I think it was a neccesary track to balance out the album.. Coming to the stage is more of a hyped up track.. I think If U cant dance is pretty funny and fun.. I dont think it should be a video or single, but I still think it deserves its place on the album :yeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I think "If U Can't Dance (Slide)" is one of my top favs now....and has been for months. It's the most JJ+FP track on the album. The beat is great. At 1st i thought it waz average, but now i love it. The lyrics and flow are totally on point. The song is loaded with FP style lyrics...the comedy, the cleverness, the cockyness.

"It's fun, it's different, even though it's not that good, so let's put it on." I understand balancing off pretty serious content with happier, lighter content, but at the same time, I don't think your have to forego quality in doing that. If You Can't Dance, by many people's admission, isn't even one of the top 10 tracks on the album. So yeah, balancing serious content with lighter content is good, but balancing excellent content with mediocre content is not so good. This is especially true when we know how good the lighter content can be... (Can You Feel Me?, Candy, It's All Good) Though the content is different, Coming to the stage is just as light, happy and energetic as If You Can't Dance, but is superior and would make a great replacement. As for I You Can't Dance being a better single than Switch Ted... (it's very rare that I take a stand for Switch guys... so take a picture or do whatever you need to do to commemorate this occasion) I highly doubt that you even want to have that discussion. With a single usually comes a music video, and a music video for "If You Can't Dance" would only serve to prolong the disrepect Will gets for his music. He would instantly have been labeled Pop, and even worse, the music video and song would have seemed associated, obviously, with Hitch because of its topic... If Will ever wants to separate his music from his acting... If You Can't Dance as the first and only single for 5 months wouldn't be a good idea... While it is possibe that If You Can't Dance might have commercial success because of Hitch... it would be even less helpful to Lost and Found than Switch has... and I could hear you complaining about how much black radio won't play "If You Can't Dance."

Admin Hero1 Posted August 9, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Okay if I'm prepared to drop if u cant dance then u gotta drop "wave em off" then get rid of the two switch remixes and we have a flawless album :smartass: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
