G. Love Post - Help G. Love Name the New Record

[elephantus]

June 24th GLsSS will drop their 10th official record!! Crazy right? The record is finished and sounds dope. All that's missing is the title. You guys came through last time and helped me pick a great title, Lemonade. Now I need you to do it again. Help me name this joint!!

The working titles are:

Superhero Brother
City Livin'
Honey
Down and Dirty

Let me know what you like or make up a new title.

Thanks!

G

[angischy]

I'm not really a fan of any of these titles.

[CaraD.]

haha- Angi- can u offer something up then?


In my opinion I think Honey would work. that, or Down and Dirty.

[jahwork]

i feel like down and dirty is consistent with other album names.

[wooz123]

definitely "Down and Dirty". Do it.

[shua]

I like "City Livin'"

[justastupidkid]

Its gotta be Down and Dirty

[zlove71]

Down & Dirty sounds like an ol' GLaSS EP from back in the day!! I dig it!

Superhero Brother is cool but i think it would be better if it were like

"G. Love is your Superhero Brother" or somethin.


Title Ideas:

Hip-Hop Blues
Good as Gold
From the Ground Up
Bankin'
Bring's It Home (G. Love Bring's It Home)
Ring The Alarm

[BoPicasso]

I like Down and Dirty
This should of been setup as a poll. lol

[rion]

Down and Dirty all the way!

[angischy]

haha- Angi- can u offer something up then?

Well, without having heard the demos or seeing a tracklist, it's pretty hard for me to suggest a name. Lots of things may sound cool, and I'm full of ideas, but that doesn't mean the title would be congruent with the album's contents. :rolleyes: Ya know what I'm saying?

[CaraD.]

fer sure. I just think that you're edgy/creative and have good ideas.

whoever- said Bankin' - i like that. maybe not for this album, but in general its kinda fun.

I'm leaning more towards down and dity now- i think because it was the orignal idea, its good to go with.

[angischy]

Well, my little mind mixer's been spinning around, and though I have much bigger fish to fry right now, I'm thinking . . .

Looking at the potential tracklist (Fred's doing, as per usual) I don't see one unifying theme popping out other than a sort of city feel. But City Livin' as a title, all respect due but it kinda leaves me with a yawn. Not much meaning behind that.

I am feeling LOTTERY, or maybe even GET YOUR TICKET with the thought behind it being, throw all these songs, all these thoughts, all this music out into the world, and hope for a return that makes us all rich.
We may not get paid in bill$ but if we're all a little richer for the music being made (G. Love, Special Sauce, the fans, the world, etc), those are some pretty good lotto odds. Cheesy? Perhaps, but aren't all such efforts to come up with grand concepts and titles such as this?

Just a thought thrown out into the world.
We shall see what ends up on the disc itself.

[harp420]

Heres my entry. How about

Sugar-Free Music ?

[sauce.baby]

It's kind of funny that he's doing this again. He asked the fans to name the last album, too. I can't remember what the majority was voting on, but I know it wasn't Lemonade, and that's what he went with anyway.

It's sweet to make the fans feel included, but when's he actually going to listen?

[BoPicasso]

I disagree, I think it was lemonade.

[Miss Shark]

I always thought Blatantly Subliminal would be a great name for an album.

[sauce.baby]

I remember it being 'Ain't that right' or something along those lines.. If I can be arsed later, I'll dig..

I'll go wash my feet, just in case, as well. I seem to be eating them a lot lately.. Maybe I'll soak them in a little homemade Kahlua this time..

[and dig I did (http://forum.philadelphonic.com/showthread.php?t=3128&highlight=help+name+album&page=7). It was a toss-up on phamily votes, but then we got the fake-out on the album title. It started as "Ain't That Right" then they went with "Lemonade". I stand by my point though. Why ask for help from the fans if you're just going to do whatever you want?]

[srebmun]

i like superhero brother.

what about "green". (money, environment, etc.)


in the words of Biggie..."gimme the loot"

[jpinphilly]

Down and Dirty or South Street Heat

[optiquest]

i was thinking the title should b "I Hope You Dig It" or diggin it

and the cover should have like a picture of dirt on it but i also like down and dirty

[CaraD.]

on g's myspace page- for some reason everyone is saying "honey down and dirty"

althogether- that sounds like munkey butt.doesn't even make sense. gah.

[CaraD.]

Down and Dirty or South Street Heat

i like south street with all the trendy accessory shops for da ladeeeez

[G.Lovenit]

I Think "Honey Glazed" would be dope or just "Glazed"

[angischy]

Look at all the lurkers chiming in! :p Hi lurkers!!!

[JpcLicksAgain]

down & dirty

[Fred]

yes "Down & Dirty"

[sweet p]

what's going on phamily?? haha, angi you're so mean...yes i'm coming out of lurk-dom for like 2 seconds! i like being a lurker... anyways-the reason why on myspace they are saying "honey down and dirty" is b/c that's how it got posted. have to kind of go w/ you on this one, angi-none of these titles really do it for me either. on myspace i saw "dime piece" -since it's their 10th album and all-i like that one o.k.-otherwise i'm w/ Shark!............and it's back to lurk-dom for me!

[mob420]

I Think The New Album Title Should Be: Spoonie "g"roovin

Ob

[ragmop]

I always thought Blatantly Subliminal would be a great name for an album.

hmmmm :rolleyes:. Would then have the option to market it as BS. Ironic on a couple of levels, given the seemingly-growing criticism of the recent tour's set lists. (or is my world so small that i am just living in an echo chamber?)

[TaoTai]

Honey! Goes well with the Sauce, Lemonade and such.

[velvet hustle]

I vote for "Crazy right?" as the album title.

That statement sums up 15 years of touring and 10 albums pretty well.

[angischy]

hmmmm :rolleyes:.

echo echo echo :cool:

[ragmop]

alright, i realize i am operating on very little sleep, and that i therefore have a HUGE propensity to focus on the negative right now. that being said, i think it is a valid observation to question the use of colloquial slang phrases to wrap around a body of work. it dates the disc.

although i was lukewarm on the disc's content, the title "lemonade" was unique and personal to the band. very respectable call for a title. as were "coast to coast motel", "electric mile" and "philadelphonic". "the hustle" was a 50/50. and while i consider the disc one of their finest to date (i know, i know--not a "true" GLaSS ensemble), "yeah, it's that easy" is not my fav. title either.

but come on--"down and dirty"?! please.

and i will likely be called a hater for critiquing without suggesting, but i couldn't care less. it isn't my music or my work. it's theirs. and as the band will likely choose the final product (props to you, sauce), the band should choose the title. and in my humble opinion, it should reflect either the theme or content of the songs on the disc, or reflect their musical or life philosophy. or even something completely obtuse and irrelevant.

just please stay away from the faux street cred slang BS.

thank you for your time.

[sauce.baby]

Sing it Brotha Rags!

[doubledown]

it isn't my music or my work. it's theirs. and as the band will likely choose the final product (props to you, sauce), the band should choose the title.

well put brotha
i think its pretty weak to have to ask your fans to name soemthing we havent even heard yet

[angischy]

what's going on phamily?? haha, angi you're so mean...yes i'm coming out of lurk-dom for like 2 seconds!

Ahha, I knew I'd lure a lurker! Oh, oh, and I'm so not mean!!! :p

I agree with Rags and Shark and zoinks, even DD! (Don't get used to it though, Mister:rolleyes:)

Who would have guessed that being annoyed with GLaSS' lapse of originality would be the great unifier?
A real shame, that.

[pepper_nj_posse]

Superhero brotha superhero G

[Jbeez]

keep it real!

[sway2sway]

i was thinking the title should b "I Hope You Dig It" or diggin it

and the cover should have like a picture of dirt on it but i also like down and dirty

oh my gosh, that is funny

[sway2sway]

I Think "Honey Glazed" would be dope or just "Glazed"

nice.

how about cunnilickinglazed?


sauce, I feel honored that you brought up cunnilemonadus again?
when something sticks like that, you know it speaks to the people

[sway2sway]

well put brotha
i think its pretty weak to have to ask your fans to name soemthing we havent even heard yet

true all that and some other stuff you guys said up there.
(specific enough)

in conclusion, I'm not falling for the whole name the album thing this time..... who cares, it is what it is

[CaraD.]

so.... i was thinking did G name the record already, look at the comment he left on his youtube video:

"you know slim kid tre is one of my favorite mcees of all time! he is on a track on the new record

WHOSE GOT THE WEED in stores june 24th! "

[sauce.baby]

If they really named the album "Who's Got The Weed", I may have to stop listening all together.

He was more than likely high at the time. Even if he wasn't, he's a pretty big jokester, so I wouldn't put much stock into it.

[crunchy granola]

Ragmop,

I didn't like "Hustle" either but it was appropriate considering that's what the specaial sauce got.

[tinkerlion]

If they really named the album "Who's Got The Weed", I may have to stop listening all together.



glad to know i'm not the only one who thinks that would be a horrible name.

[ragmop]

glad to know i'm not the only one who thinks that would be a horrible name.

and a sure way to kill that grammy he's supposedly chasing . . .

[CaraD.]

hahah. for sure. i dont think to many parentals would approve.
who knows, maybe thats the name of the track that Slim is on and he just miswrote... hope so.

[doubledown]

hahah. for sure. i dont think to many parentals would approve.

cuz thats rilly our concern

[maestro.1977]

just brainstorming but what about living and loving or cruisin' the life or that's just how it is or that's just the way it's gonna be

[baerthela]

hey g. so, me n some friends were sittin around and talking about your upcoming album and came up with some solid suggestions. the consensus on your options was Honey by a long shot. its slick and short... sounds solid. as for some of your old tunes for album titles (a la superhero brother) i gotta say Honor & Harmony, Sunshine, Unified and Hot Cookin i think would be the best. as for some ideas of other album titles that you use in your lyrics a lot, maybe just "Love" or "Baby"

[maestro.1977]

city livin
superhero brother are both good
my thoughts are:
blue sky's
travellin'high'n'low
jetlag
chasin' horizons
hangover lifestyle,...............these all refer to the constant touring of the band!
movin' on up the road,..this refers to your new member of the band making GLaSS sound even better then i thought they could meaning they are movin' on to bigger and better things. Peace from downunder.

[Vodka&Hash]

Down and Dirty is pure unsanitary grimey filth nasty.


GO BREWERS!!!

[bigdaddygroove]

we all say Honey, goes hand in hand with lemonade yo!

[harp420]

yo g

After seeing that green costume on the home page, you HAVE to call it SuperHero Brother. If your focus is to make the world a better place with this record- then the name is obvious. Your creativity is addictive, and its been pouring off on me. all the best on the new cd, I'll be one of the first to buy it.

tim

[maestro.1977]

"honey" is not bad because g is very sticky you can't get that freakin' music out of your brain it's in my car, my computer, my home stereo my mp3 EVERYWHERE! stickymotherfu.... or maybe sweet honey or sweet as honey cause that's how his music is.peace from downunder

[The Dude]

I vote for "Super Hero Brother"

I think the album cover should be of G Love dressed up as a superman character, with harmonicas around his waste in a utility belt, with the belt buckle being a pot leaf, like he wears on stage. In the background it could have pictures of all the stuff he talks about on the song...even the marmosets!

That's awfully literal, don't you think?

What's worse though is me trying to picture "his waste" :p

[sway2sway]

hahahaHA, that's funny.

I like the marmoset idea, he could even have a baby marmoset on his shoulder with little angel wings and a halo. It could be his sidekick.

[hencoop]

That IS funny.

[redqueendancer]

the name of Eyrikah Badu's single?

I mean cause I love the badu.

like LOVE her.

toe me

I think you should call it Blue Moon Mama.

Or maybe..Turtle Cheescake(for the hungry)


*shrugs*

I'ld love it even if you told me to kick rocks.

So there.
