R Kelly vs Broken Social Scene - I'm a Flirt 7/4 Shoreline

[witnnessrenegade1]

This is great, don't listening to rap at all but BSS and R. Kelly work together here great!

[TheFreshkid44]

@witnnessrenegade1 this isn't rap, it has one rap verse, but it is an rnb song originally 

[witnnessrenegade1]

@TheFreshkid44 Man im Irish, all I know is Potatoes, Guinness and the Famine, anything with R. Kelly is either Rap or SpaceJam to me

[monkeybottomsTV]

I like how it sounds in the beginning, even if his rhymes are really lazy. It gets way too crowded near the end, imo.

[MrLavigne123]

this fucking sucks.



[budders71]

Damnnnnn!!!! This shit is fire!!

[im2rude4u100]

amazing!!!



[jigskop]

great job its awesome

[clancy152206]

FUCK THIS

[DjangoZephyr]

holy shit this is amazing

[Gillz93fyi]

Not bad haha

[Pinkcreamo679]

I am the biggest Broken Social Scene fan ever. If I ever met them, I'd probably hyperventilate or pass out. Haha. And I HATE rap and R&B. I just really dislike the sound.

But, I absolutely love this. So all these people need to stop saying that this song was "ruined." It's actually a good mash up. Be quiet and just enjoy it. :)

[SneakerZeeker]

@Pinkcreamo679 so if an r&b were to construct a cultivation of the acoustic techmicality as a normal r&b artist with indie post-rock you would like it more?

[mas502arc]

Artists like Kelly couldn't even come up with a song with 7/4 timing. BSS has to 'simplify' for them lol

[misscreations]

This mashup just proves BSS can make anything sound more awesome. I hate R. Kelly, but as a BSS fan, I can appreciate how creative/awesome this mashup is. I love it. So calm down, music-snobs, and take this song for what it is: FUN.

[pastrie100]

GROSS!!! I hate this version. I almost threw my iPod across the room wen it started playing

[krazycore]

wow I am so surprised that they corresponds so well!

much better than rkelly's original song i think

[jivetome]

wow. So sick of all these aesthetic/genuine musicfags who try to act all hipster and think mashing BSS with main stream RNB is tarnishing its music. Just shut the fuck up and enjoy the song.

[jigskop]

@jivetome so right! im with you

[groalerable]

this defintiley still 4/4, the beat is just twice as fast: the snare hits 4 times a measurre instead of 2

[bangsnapsgalore]

this is so brilliant it hurts. the melody with the lyrics is pure genius. 0:53 gives me goosebumps.

[dezrax]

@bangsnapsgalore

haha me too

[MrIndiemusic101]

nice to ruin a good band's sound

[theburningbison]

@MrIndiemusic101 get out of your box bro.

[joshandthegiantpeach]

@theburningbison lol you cant blame him man, his name is "mrindiemusic101", obviously the subject matter expert.

[talkshowhost11]

@theburningbison YES.. "get out of your box" , BE CREATIVE, so create music!! dont steal it!! open your EARS, there are a universe full of beautiful sounds and music, im not begining a discussion about it, this is just my point of view, about what "get out of your box" is bro. =D

[jigskop]

@theburningbison get out of your box too.

what you say to that!Yeah! i thought so!

[GuitarFreakReegs]

props

cuz name a rap song thats in 7/4

no really, i cant think of any, im gonna look for one

[ryandfaris]

@GuitarFreakReegs

The Broken Social Scene song they sampled is in 7/4 and is called 7/4 but they changed it to 8/4 to work with the mash.

[SexyFatKid]

what this fuck is this 8/4 bullshit?! it's 4/4 you idiots

[ryandfaris]

@SexyFatKid

The measure takes 8 beats to finish. It's in 8/4.

I'm a junior in college for music composition.

[foxbarloyal]

i love BSS, don't listen to R Kelly, but I do like this, probably because I love the BSS version and this a new take on it

[stratmaster351]

Pro: Better than anything R. Kelly has ever done.

Con: Worse than everything BSS has ever done.

Pro: 7/4 Shoreline will sound FANTASTIC after this

Con: In 4/4 - fail

[mortonblows69]

If it's now 8/4 shoreline wouldn't that just be 2 shoreline.Just sayin.

[hojima]

@mortonblows69 You don't understand how time signatures work.

[Theblob516]

@mortonblows69 It's not 8/4, it's 4/4. So isn't that just 1?!?!

[ryandfaris]

@mortonblows69 Time signatures aren't fractions. The top number is the number of beats per measure and the second number is what duration of note gets the beat. I feel like I never know the exact words to use to describe this...but I think that makes sense.

[sethsquatch420]

it's no longer 7/4 shoreline, it's 8/4 shoreline

[surfnsunshinekat]

uh...BSS fan...like others I can't tell if this makes me want to throw my computer out the window or...not. idk

[nick45644564]

you ruined this song for me asshole

[nubbinnoob]

great mashup

[THEUNOTE]

BEST MESH UP EVER

[lightthiscity11]

AHHHH. I can't tell if I like this. It's hurting me in trying to decide whether i do or not. god dammit.

[DICKDICKASSVAGHOLE]

@lightthiscity11 how could you not this is awesome im a huge bss fan and this rocks

[jeckeljoan]

Suprising how good this sounds together if R.kelly made music that sounded like MAYBE I could appreciate it...Maybe.

[proxxxy]

I love this. Best mashup since "Shakira + Danzig - Hips Don't Lie"

[crazyrabbits]

BSS had nothing to do with the making of this mash-up. It says that in the description. Honestly, how stupid do you have to be not to notice that?

[surfnsunshinekat]

@crazyrabbits hm, but wouldn't they have to? I mean their song is copyrighted, I'd think that R. Kelly would need permission from them to mix in their song? =/

[marksonfire]

I think people are forgetting this is a mash-up. Quit complaining. 

[ksuno1stunner]

wow. broken social scene sounds terrible. disrespecting a legend.

[jammalrulesall12]

too bad its not in 7/4.

[JozzyHBR]

THIS SOUNDS TERRIBLE!!!!

[pepperandroses]

what BSS song is this??

[duckman71]

@pepperandroses you fail.

[livemusic701]

BSS wins obviously. Thanks for that. Who the hell thought of doing this?

[SugarBlaster]

they fucked up the entire premise of 7/4 in order to do this. how stupid.

[starkid]

I find it amazing that someone thought of putting theses together. Haha.

[TheClubHipster]

Come to My NEW Page and Recommend Songs Like This One OR other Hipster Approve Songs for A Club Settings. Or Come To See What I Got. -ONE LOVE

This Is HOOD INTERNET'S Best Track!

[joshjuba]

I thought this was going to suck balls. But...it ninja'd me. Wow. Nice work to whoever did this. 

[Spoocecow]

@BrutusMcCrunch: "You're actually right,and I'm sorry I snapped at you." -- One of the rarest sentiments on all of Youtube. :)

[theshakevideos]

i hate this fast rkelly stupid!

[mindset07770]

This actually makes R. Kelly listenable.

[theshakevideos]

sure

[jrose987]

@mindset07770 agreed, this and "Ignition (keep it mixing louder)" by Hood Internet are they only R kelly songs i can stand listening to

[redhandrail]

:24 is pretty nice.  all of this is gross

[spamharold]

I hate that i adore this! :)

[franchisepeat]

i dont think its in 7/4 anymore. 4/4

[franchisepeat]

@franchisepeat shit, lots of people noticed that.

[MalDeMer34]

Wow. This is ri-dic-ul-ous.

[TOASTEDDESIGN]

Extrañamente me gusta la mezcla... no es lo que yo escucharía pero es una buena aplicación de Broken Social Scene. Nice piece!

[MOHOJO12]

pedophile vs one of the most amazing Canadian bands of all time? Hmm...this is a hard on....;)

[xenu43]

@MOHOJO12 Hmm, seeing how you have a hard on, Im guessing you are voting for the pedophile...

[redhandrail]

@MOHOJO12 I think his thing was urinating on people, not pedophilia

[DiDyouScoPe]

good mix!

[qiqimaster]

what a random combo

[chinchillaguy]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS! it is GENIUS! thank you

[savocado]

what a pos

[IDKSOMTHIN]

This Just Reminds Me How Bad A Singer/Lyricist R. Kelly Is.

[manunderthesea]

kinda cool, I guess..

[exstray]

R Kelly looks kinda dumb when the video is sped up, its hilarious!

[boxlikeboxes]

Wow this sucks

[Liface]

I've listened to this like once a week for the last year. That's how good it is.

[davemwoodward]

.. such trash, it's embarrassing.

[Scorank]

I hate this makes me bounce!

[Kamikazebra]

this works.

[personM4N]

I'm sure BSS has seen/heard this, and they think it's hilarious. They seem like a really hilarious group of boys and girls.

[Robinn07]

This isn't 7/4 at all! Theyve made it 8/4!

[giddeo]

@Robinn07 Oh no's its 8/4 :'( need a care bear?

[DICKDICKASSVAGHOLE]

@Robinn07 but it still sounds awsome

[Kalabbe980]

@Robinn07 4/4 actually....

[jeremey0]

I super respect you for your direction of the song credit to the hood internet. too many people out there steal and try to claim it as their own.

[ELCHOZA97]

i kinda like it

[beanz0x]

OMG LMFAAAAAAO..

Who comes up with thisssssssssss ! hahaha

CRAZYMAD respect to the hoodinternet for coming up with the mix xD

[Adymonsterify]

hahaha it is so cool!!

[BrutusMcCrunch]

I loved the original,but this is brilliant.

Emo R&B,I never thought I'd see the day....

[redhandrail]

@BrutusMcCrunch not emo. 

[BrutusMcCrunch]

@redhandrail

WTF do you call it then.....stupid.

[redhandrail]

@BrutusMcCrunch no need for hostility. It could be called indie rock. Emo is a name more reserved for bands that have a different style of singing and more focussed on dressing a certain way and looking a certain way. Bands like The Used or My Chemical Romance. Broken Social Scene isn't emo. You'll get it

[BrutusMcCrunch]

@redhandrail

You're actually right,and I'm sorry I snapped at you.

Thanks.

I actually quite like The Used and I'd never thought they were emo....screamo is what I was told. My Chemical Romance was always over my head but I knew I was about 15 years older than they were aiming for so.....

[Kristinaheartsu]

That really made the song sound so much better than the original.

[grandmastaflash14]

jews are criminals

[donoghue72]

much better, this asshole' s music needed a white touch it!!

[hoyi7]

@donoghue72 racist

[VivedAmour]

wow...i dont know what to think at all...this is too weird..but impresive editting

[DiscoGabe]

This is awesome.

[DonWinsley]

I hope im not the only person here who likes both of these things non-ironically.

[spazmaticamille]

@DonWinsley you are not alone. (: high fives all around

[beef7790]

@DonWinsley Right there with you.

[endovenoso]

@0:33 best shot of kel

[TheBest1967Combi]

this song is like peanut butter and chocolate

[AVrenegade]

hellllaaa sik

[miceinberlin]

this makes so much sense. thank you to whoever envisioned this.

[asdfsadcvzxcz]

good editing

[scotamiran]

the worst part is that they didnt stick to the original time sig

[AngelCute0615]

for those flirt.....

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

I'm shocked by how good this is! I saw the link off the "Fire Eye'd Boy" video and couldn't believe it...so glad I clicked on. Hahaha hilarious and actually fantastic to listen to.

[mattaki]

great job with the video!

[mattaki]

better than both of the originals.

[DICKDICKASSVAGHOLE]

@mattaki no way its good but not as good as the orgianal 7/4 shoreline

[slytown]

Brendan's bassline just works so well for this mashup. Brendan and Justin are about the best rhythm section out there. I definitely like the loop in 7/4 instead of 4/4 though. Still realy good.

[pastel327]

I agree. The only flaw is the loss of 7/4

[theSOUNDinterpreter]

what is the point?

[nuffaction]

@ thesoundinterpreter.... the point is enjoyment... what's the point to posting Roy Orbison Only the Lonely on your homepage?? Hmmm I guess the 24 year old sound interpreter in you only interprets 50 year old songs that nobody cares about. Happy interpreting you turd!

[theSOUNDinterpreter]

your comment made me giggle a little bit.

[ForeverElusive]

lol, you're both dumb.

[DavidDaveson]

R Kelly is a huge faggot but this is a good blend.

[ericwehler]

Every time I hear this, I feel conflicted. On one hand, I don't like (dare I say hate) R Kelley. But on the other hand I can't get enough BSS. Regardless, this is a good mash up.

[jonesdanko3]

@ericwehler i'm in the same boat. it seems wrong that r.kelly be mixed with bss but the mix is good.

[pgriffs1]

as soon as she's done in the bathroom i'm a holler at her.... WTF?!?!?

[krazycore]

haha I don't like R Kelly either but I think this is a nice match.. wow..

[EnhancementSmoker]

nice

[Taylor01991]

Broken Social Scene wins lol

[DaniloCamargo]

@Taylor01991 no way bro, Im a Flirt is THA tune

[ValeriaRosati]

very good! :-)

[floydrose87]

Ok, I'm a huge bss fan...i feel like I should hate this, but its kinda great.

[Tylrdurdn99]

@floydrose87 Like: Hood Internet.

[Jinxedem]

@floydrose87 I know exactly how you feel...

[endsequence]

@floydrose87 I bet BSS would love this. All fun and games, it works really well actually haha.

[MinoTauren]

@floydrose87 SAME.

[WARRIORPARK]

@floydrose87 why should you hate it?

[Cola21212]

I love it I love it I love it.

[Hackumsackum]

I hate R. Kelly...butya gotta admit this is pretty fucking sweet

[musicmaestro1323]

So first it's R kelly then TI followed by T-pain finished off by R Kelly right?

[MageRaiden]

The reason the song was called 7/4 Shoreline is because it was recorded with a 7/4 tempo. Go listen to the original and count 1 2 3 4 with the beat and you will notice that it cuts off before you can reach the second 4. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3, 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 = 7 taps on a 4 beat. 7/4. This song has 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 = 4 taps on a 4 beat.

Oh thanks for posting this. If I hadn't accidentally wandered on to it I wouldn't have found this beautiful mashup.

[chuyjoel]

hey thanks i remember some people counting while they were listening to songs i wanted to know what they were doing now i know

[pyramidheadthingy]

Thanks for the Exp. :D

[breto112]

drrrrift, you made yourself look so dumb! so dumb!

[Cheshykid]

drift lol, 7/4 shoreline is the name of the bss song

[DrrriftIt]

for anyone who is musically inept, this is in 4/4, not 7/4.

[clark9413]

@DrrriftIt You're actually right this song was reworked to be 4/4 for the remix but the original is 7/4

[VagueAnxiety]

I'm a Flirt 4/4 Shoreline

[duketakamoto]

Yeah... why make the mashup if you're going to drop the music back to 4/4? Always loved that the song was in 7/4... you don't hear that too often.

[randomvaccum]

Amazing

[jordandegroote]

Strangest mash-up ever? Probably not, but it's still pretty odd. It's a shame that BSS' music has to be brought down by R. Kelly, though.

[saggigirl01]

Grow some friends.

[jordandegroote]

r kelly fan? embarassing. grow some friends.

[Famoussas1]

Just listen to the music.

[gallumhrasha]

lmfao

[mattaki]

this is entertainment.

go whine about something real, like the war or two that's going on.

[thetbmh]

when i can't appreciate the music AND the artist, i just appreciate the music. y'all aren't buying this shit, you're watching it on youtube. quit trying to be all politically correct or socially conscious with your damn youtube videos, this is an amazing mash-up and if you've heard thehoodinternet before you'd know he's fackin' brilliant, and it's free so get ooover it! no denying the dopeness.

[mattaki]

truth.

[heythatsnotposi]

Love Broken don't care for R Kelly at all.

But I can appreciate this.

random mash-ups are the shit.

[emfizzle147]

r kelly is one of the most lyrically talented artists of all time. r kelly is the man. example:

"a dog on the prowl when i'm walkin through the mall" and

"she be callin me daddy, i be callin her mommy,

she be callin you kelly, when your name is tommy"

[KimichiSu]

lol thats intresting

i love 7/4 shoreline but

this works out in a weird way

[thebeatsinthesky]

In a way, this is the best thing ever.

...in a way.

[Leodiensian]

What do you know, someone finally found a way to make R Kelly bearable to listen to!

[hewhosayszonk]

The main problem I have with is it's destroyed the 7/4 time signature and replaced it with 4/4. It's stripping away part of the brilliant songwriting that makes shoreline amazing.

[goongycakes]

beginning was good, rest wus sheeeet

didn't match up well

chorus wasn't bad

[mlefevre92]

im not normally a fan of r kelly (though i have a "its so bad its good" thing with the trapped in the closet stuff) but this is a fantastic remix. can stop listening to it.

[superf0b]

some people are too closed minded, just cause it's r kelly doesn't mean it has to be bad

[kaptenlemper]

This is amazing. Kudos to the remixers.

[DeathFromRKelly]

I sincerely enjoyed this. While I'm much more of an R. Kelly fan than a BSS fan, it put a smile on my face, being fair on both sides.

[Sonsglow]

:(

I almost vomited when I heard this.

But I was too busy crying.

R.I.P. Broken Social Scene...

people with shitty taste in music have finally consumed you :(

[starkid]

OH JESUS. Get over it. Stop being so immature and closeminded about music. I HATE R. Kelly, but I can see talent behind a mashup that mixes two completely different artists together.

[Sonsglow]

Sure the person who did this has talent. I never questioned that. Being socially conscious about your music choices however is real maturity. Personally I stray from any product that stems from child molesting perverts.

[thepwnmaster]

yeah but shit music and good music together makes me rage

[hjh17]

this is horrible
