Revo Uninstaller is that wave.
Ok, so I copped a new phone and decided to get the Windows Mobile 6.0 feature poppin’. I wanted to be able to sync media (pics, music, and video) from the hard drive to the phone and vice versa. Well, come to find that out that WM 6.0 doesn’t properly install well. After some googling, it turns out that many people have trouble with WM 6.0 i.e. failed installtions, mimimal syncing, etc. Well, a few forums suggest 6.1, so I attempted to install it and that didn’t go well either. So I said, fuck it, I’ll just uninstall it. Well, there are two parts that gets put on your hard drive during the installation: Windows Mobile Device Center, and the Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update. Well, the Device Center alone had no problems with the uninstallation. But the Driver Update would not uninstall. I tried like 4 times in a row and that shit stayed in my program files… laughing at me. It would act like it was performing an uninstallation by having the green indicator bar go from left to right, and then once done, go back down from right to left again. So, I googled again to see what the forum geeks had to say and a few people had the same problem and nobody had a solution. So, I went to Download.com and searched “uninstaller” and Revo Unistaller came up as the top choice, with other 500K downloads and it was just added earlier this month. Out like 49 reviews, only 4 or 5 said they had problems. But I’m assuming they either a.) didn’t know what they were doing, b.) got a more concentrated problem, or c.) wear helmets and drool on windows. It’s mad simple. Installation was a breeze, and once you select Run, the program starts and shows you all of the shit that’s intalled on your hard drive that wasn’t on there originally during purchase. I was frustated all of last night and for like 2 hours his morning before I found this.
So, the point is… if any of yall got Vista (which I don’t is that bad as many people claim), DO NOT FUCK WITH WINDOWS MOBILE. Period.
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:02 am
overproduced.
Common is great but he’s not a versatile artist. the man has one lane and it includes beats by kanye, no i.d., j dilla…etc. this spacy, euro club neptunes shit is not for him but he always wanna go on adventures. Stay in ur lane, Lonnie
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:02 am
P.S. Revo Uninstaller… cut the check.
Ow.
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:03 am
ya’ll need to chill…he said its gonna be more of a poppy neptunes funky sounding type ish. he even said that too…that left field Electric Circus type of ish…
everybody hated on EC at first too but now its considered a brave dope ecclectic type of music.

Doesn’t even sound close to a Kanye beat.

another wack Pharrell beat. i honestly think The Neptunes are one of the dopest production teams ever but you wouldn’t know it from some of dude’s recent output.
hopefully that N.E.R.D. album turns out to be the exception, “Spazz” is pretty nice.
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:14 am

Please, everybody, STOP FRONTING, this track is crazy and on some real true original hiphop shit with that Planet Rock feel to it. This is not your typical Neptunes production and this is not your typical Common performance. He’s trying to add on to his repertoire, and as an artist what is wrong with that? This isn’t even on some futuristic shit to me, it’s straight spitting over a hard beat. I don’t get the backlash here. You want him to lean and rock with it or some shit? Wow.
*stunned*

Pharrell stay ruining songs. This is Common’s weakest song in a very very long time. It’s struggling. No hate at all btw. Always been a fan.

thats what I was thinking when I heard the track esp when Skateboard P does the course…
I admit not the best common sogn I ever heard but not the worse either…it’s decent. just a different sound…dudes easily Top 10, a legend, has his money, has his musical legacy, the whole nine yards, let dude breath and have some fun. thats what I say.

naw not saying its okay, just sayin everybody is bitchin and whinning about this new sound and oh this aint his lane and whaaa I need my pacifier yada yada but he did say it was gonna be a different sound so get use to it or get over it. simple as that, why bitch about it?
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:29 am
Ok, I’m listening now…
This beat is pifftastic. However, I don’t like Com over it. It sounds more hipsterish than anything. Like, I could picture Cool Kidz, KITH, Mickey, Pac Div, etc. doin’ a joint like this. I understand Com tried a diff. lane but for him it just doesn’t mesh well. I guarantee you’re gonna hear at least ONE of the aforementioned groups release a song over this beat and watch how much better it sounds.
Beat - 4.5/5
Com - 1.5/5

D. Billz, I half agree. I think this did have a hipster feel to it, but I don’t think Common came off that bad at all. SMH for dudes acting like he has no business experimenting though. Fuck outa here with that shit. Like dude above said, get used to it or get over it…

May 22nd, 2008 at 10:39 am
The Neptunes should’ve gave this track to Pitbull and Lil Jon… Common sounds horrible on it. I hope they come with some better shit cuz this isn’t a good look.
On another note, The two Just Blaze tracks that Lonnie is suppose to use are fire! If he records them, he should put them on Electric Circus and re-issue that album. The sound of that album (which didn’t work in 2002 because it was ahead of it’s time) would work today…

Um, has anybody here even ever seen Com live? Dude is all about dancing and routinely busts windmills on stage. He is a b-boy at heart. That is a straight up throwback hiphop beat, vintage breakdancing music, and he’s spitting hard, old school style. How is this a pop song? I don’t get it. Not to mention Com’s rhymes are not wack at all on this track. Fast from the heart yall and grow up.
