usher ft. ludacris "dat girl right there"

[kid cue]

ok this (http://www.thefader.com/articles/2007/11/15/audio-usher-f-ludacris-dat-girl-right-there-prod-by-rich-harrison) new Usher song is pretty remarkable. i haven't been this bowled over by a mainstream hip-hop or r&b song in years. both the track and Ludacris sound like a cyborg Teletubby. actually the Ludacris verse is probably my #1 profound pop moment of this decade!

I would absolutely love this if Usher was not on the song(or the violins...). :o

[mmm skyscraper]

boohbah!

it would be cool if andre 3000 was on here too

usher...no

[Tom]

holy shit.

[dubman]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

first that wonderful snoop dogg vid, and now this bizarre pile of greatness.

fun week, guys.

[Leon]

The song is awesome. Usher's singing is still kinda shitty. I also think the wicked synths + Usher's voice don't go very well together. Furthermore, it's really cool.

[Future Proof]

Wow... I wonder how many A&R people lost their jobs on this one.

I personally don't like it very much (that crazy lead synth is mad discordant) but I've been largely intrigued by IDM's slow but sure introduction into hip hop and R&B.

Another example -- Beyonce's sister is coming out with an album and along with the usual suspects in terms of production, apparently Boards of Canada are contributing as well...

Wierd, wild stuff.

[joethelion]

damn!

that intro is TIGHT!
I'm not a huge fan of Usher's actual voice... but I'd totally want an instrumental for sure

[Jafs]

my love effect. Damn this is a real banger.
