Happy Memorial Day weekend! To celebrate, I am going to put up my away message and read Madame Bovary on my back porch. (Who says I don’t know how to party?) But before I go, I want to ask a question that sorta pertains to this weekend’s status as the unofficial kickoff of summer: What is your early-season pick for this year’s summer jam? The reasons that I am asking this question will be made clear next week, but for now fight among yourselves. (The Lloyd/Lil Wayne collaboration above, “Girls Around The World,” may semi-predictably be my pick, but I’m not going to commit to anything just yet.) [YouTube]

“True Faith”
Despite the appearance of Akon, I really like that new track from the wholly under-appreciated Kardinal Offishall:
@futurehorse: Dang non-embeddable videos. Here goes round two:
Jackie Chain’s “Rollin” is awesome, and even though it’s not a single Rich Boy’s track “Haters Wish” off his new mixtape Bigger Than the Mayor is gorgeously carefree
Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl”
(Kidding)
Wynter Gordon - “Surveillance.” If it ever gets released.
Whatever it is, it will be from Miley Cyrus’ new album.
that danity kane song that’s out right now is AWESOME.
i’m not kidding. although i don’t know if i’ll feel the same way come august.
HAIRBRAIDEEEEEEEEERRRRRR
“Umbrella”.
Duh!
summer jam you don’t want to tell anyone about:
bow wow- pole in my basement (aka his “sensual seduction” autotune and all)
Barracuda - Fergie
@futurehorse: That hook is deathly. I totally agree on this prediction.
This?:
At least that what the kids leaving messages are saying…
It’s gonna be “My Medicine,” y’all.
that song u posted sucks. usher - love in this club is/will be the song of summer 2008. or is it already the song of spring 2008?
I think Autotune created based on Akon’s voice.
was created, rather.
“Loving U Long Time” by MCC (Mariah Carey-Cannon)
Trust and believe
@Chris N.: wait a second … is that snoop dogg and everlast?
That is correct.
“this aint sex” from the new usher could be the big usmmer single. who knows.
but! i AM predicting that Pork and Beans is going to be HUGE
The Flobots’ “Handlebars” . Mostly due to it reminding me of “The Distance”.
at the moment sean kingston’s theres nuthin.
whatever mariah track comes after bye bye is possible.
whatever lil wayne song follows lollipop is possible.
actually game’s new ‘pain’ is great.
i think the usher love in the club is pretty weak.
theres a recent hip hop tune ‘im bout money’ [by baby d?] that is good.
theres are off the top of my head i have a list of 50+ songs that already rocked my 2008 …
personally im listening to Mobius Band & DJ Vibe [portugal] at home …
Wayne and Bun B. The whole track jams, but the Robin Givens punch-line alone gives it top track status.
“Closer” is out Usher-ing Usher so far this year. Also, there’s no Justin single this summer. Though I’m afraid it may be cresting too soon.
HONEYBFLY is 100% correct.
The second I heard “loving you long time” I thought (a) this song is the perfect throwback to 90s Mariah, and (b) this song will take over my spring summer. I already played it out a little much, but it’s due for a comeback pretty soon.
Too bad it won’t be a single…
oh and I have not heard the new Missy Elliott single (has anyone? It is due in a couple weeks…) but it will probably bang.
sorry, nothing posted so far tops the lloyd/lil wayne collab. and damn, it’s that soul II soul beat…or the one they jacked, or whatever (see friday’s post on the most important english band since the beatles).
I was counting on Mariah to pull out the winner summer jam, but not if “Loving U Long Time” isn’t a single.
