This song is an iTunes bonus off The-Dream’s album Love vs. Money (which is the best album I’ve heard all year), and I slept on this track. I heard it before, but I didn’t really, really pay attention to what he was saying in the lyrics until I saw this video yesterday. Now, I like this track, and I really feel what Dream’s saying.

I mean, I don’t know about some of ya’ll hatin’ azz nuccas, but it’s an unwritten rule that a man should not hate on another man’s relationship. But I can’t lie, there have been a few times when I’ve been talking to a female, she’s feeling me, I’m feeling her, she has a man or she’s talking to someone, and it gets to the point where I’m like, “man, fux that nucca, man.” I really try not to do such a thing, but sometimes it just gets to that point. And that’s basically what this song is about. So, I feel Dream on this one. I don’t mean to be a hater, but when it comes to women (especially thick redbones), a nucca can’t help it sometimes. Sorry fellas. Sue me. Hey, at least I didn’t write a book about it.

The-Dream’s sophomore album hit the internets yesterday, and I must say, this sh!t is a monster. I’m not really surprised because his first album was dope, but this sh!t right here nucca, this sh!t right here…crazy! I mean, everyone knows Dream can’t sing all that well, but that dude can write the hell out of a song.

The nucca wrote a song about beatin’ it up to 12 Play (“Kelly’s 12 Play”). Man, do you know how many times I smashed something to 12 Play? I went FOOL when I heard that song.

Then he got a song called “Put It Down,” where it’s basically about what it sounds like. But Dream is so ill lyrically, he should be writing for rappers, in addition to the R&B artists he writes for. Shawty Lo, OJ, ya’ll might need to holla at The-Dream. That nucca said something like, “If they ask you can I sing like Usher, say, ‘no’, but I can make you sing like Mariah.”

The title tracks “Love vs. Money” and “Love vs. Money Pt. 2,” are so well written and produced, I was on 285 last night thinking I was Jeff Gordon last night. Those tracks go so hard in the whip. And I think he had a couple sneak disses at his ex-wife Nivea on there, too.

But my favorite track has to be “Fancy,” which is a song about the type of chick that chases the glamorous life (there are a lot of those chicks in Atlanta). But it’s the way the production of the song develops as the song goes a long. I just about lost my mind when the drums dropped at the end. But ya’ll just gotta hear it to see what I’m talking about.

But seriously, Love vs. Money is that dope. Let me try to break it down to ya’ll like this: Love vs. Money > 808s & Heartbreaks. Love vs. Money > most rap albums that came out last year (except maybe T.I.’s album). Love vs. Money > Glady Knight’s Chicken & Waffles. Love vs. Money > Chris Paul’s line last night (27 pts, 4 rebs, 15 asts). Love vs. Money > Nivea’s entire career. Ya’ll should get the picture now.

I know most ladies don’t fux wit’ dude because he’s kinda fat, but I think everyone needs to check this album out. The production alone, most of it by Christoper “Tricky” Stewart, makes the album worthwhile. But when you add Dream’s song writing abilities to the equation…this album is damn near a classic. Cop this ish.
