Jennifer Lopez Ft Pitbull- On the floor
- Thread starter Morpheux
- Start date
WTF, It samples the freakin Lambada (??!!) 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AfTl5Vg73A
At the same time I gotta admit that the overall result ain't half bad - Pitbull steps up his Rap game, J.Lo's is in fine form, and the production's pretty good.
Could be a guilty pleasure record similar to Befour's "How Do You Do"

Yes! Unfortunately,I'm old enough to remember when Lambada came out.;D It's been sample a few times recently (mostly in reggaeton).
It's the Edward Maya effect. I've heard people comment how Stereo Love reminds them of Lambada.I think this is why this song came to be.
The song will be have a radio version by the time it debuts on Ryan's show next week. The version on Twit seems like it was sliced and diced of an extended mix.
This year already has started off strong with pop dance tunes from Britney Spears,Chris Brown,Enrique.
Let's see if Lady Gaga and Beyonce also follow with the sound.

...Ok, now I like this song. It finally grew on me. The bassline effect got to me after a week of it always coming on every time I tune in to KZZP. I never noticed that element in the song before, but I like it a lot. Overall, the song sounds pretty good, even with the lyrics the way they are.
Well it looks like I reached my peak level regarding how much I like this song the same day I last commented about it. In other words, I completely forgot about it. Nevertheless, I'm still glad it's on the radio because to me it's one of those songs that sound great on the radio.
Well one thing I will say is that this song is dance music. I wont even bother to see the bpm page at the moment because I'm sure my imagination is accurate enough when it comes to imagining what I might see if I go there. While I can understand the concept and reasoning behind much of the arguments that go on there, a lot of what is said loses credibility and seriousness due to poor wording arrangement and choice, in addition to silly arguments about what is or isn't dance music - being based mostly on whether the person judging likes it or not. Therefore, it becomes more entertaining than it is serious or influentially "game-changing" as they wish, resulting in the whole "bickering match" to be taken no more seriously than the fake over-dramatic fights n stuff I've had on these boards in the past.
Well... ok maybe they may have SOME success with their "what is real dance music" fight because there are those who take everything seriously and personally, regardless of whether or not it was meant to be serious or just for entertainment. But even with that being said, I doubt the end result will be someone quitting or getting fired at bpm because of the arguments and some superhero with pure dance galore steps in, takes over, pop dies, then world peace is miraculously established, and everybody lives happily ever after.
However, I do agree that bpm does need a "serious makeover". That doesn't mean they shouldn't play J-Lo if she releases a dance hit, though.

As of this afternoon on iTunes.In some of the countries she went to # 1 she beat out Lady Gaga's Born this way inspite of no promotion.Many stations in the US still refuse to play her song despite of it's popularity...

I must admit this song as a pretty good instrumental.
I think I like Jennifer Lopez ft Pitbull's "on the floor" more than than the new Aqua.
Judging based on how many times I hear it these days, it must now be getting the amount of spins it deserves. Either that, or the increase in plays is just on Phoenix radio. I also see Pitbull "hey baby" is finally in full force!
That's not all, either. We have about four more dance songs (with the same beat structure) rapidly approaching the charts right now as you read this and think about what you want to say next! I'm sure they'll all be on the radio by the end of this month...

Must admit, this song regrew on me! The instrumental is "bangin", and the overall song is pretty good for a song that highly emphasizes that it's strictly about the floor. I thought it was weird at first, but now I like it. I guess that means I can no longer criticize those people who called in and complained that "Fill me in" by Craig David was "too weird" on KZZP back in 2002, when they previewed it during "bump it or dump it?".
Funny,because I don't like this song anymore.
Well I did, but that was like 3 months ago. I posted this song because I knew it had potential to be a big smash on the dance tip. And I was right.It went to # 1 in like 20 different countries or more I lose count. Good for dance in the US.

I would've never guessed that this song would've made it. Maybe I was good at predicting how and when dance music could and would come back, but I was horrible at predicting what dance hits would make it and was dead wrong on almost everything. I heard Pitbull "calle ocho" and Far East Movement "girls on the dance floor" and I doubted both of them. As a matter of fact, I was horrible and predicting dance hits even before that time period! I doubted "day 'n' night" by Kid Cudi, "Poker face" by Lady Gaga, "If you seek Amy" by Britney....etc. I thought just about everything electro was too unique, dancy, and outlandish for radio because it didn't sound "gangsta" enough! I guess you could say that I couldn't even believe in my own prediction, despite the fact that it was unfolding right in front of my face.
I remember when anything dance making it to top 40 was more shocking than the top 20 most shocking things on the show, "Most Shocking". Nowadays, however, nothing really surprises me anymore, thanks to the crossing over of Edward Maya. Well, ..ok - the only thing that still surprises me is when Atl. top 40 stations actually recognize and play certain nationwide hits. Other than that, you'd probably have to successfully do a drum & bass hit or something to get me excited.

Don't mean to be overconfident.I usually got it wrong as far as guessing what would be a dance hit when I allowed my personal taste to cloud my judgment.What I do now is test a song with a crowd that's not your usual dance crowd, if they respond well then there's a good chance it can become a hit.
I think no one could have predicted that day 'n' night" by Kid Cudi, "Poker face" by Lady Gaga, "Stereo Love"- Edward Maya would be well recognized pop hits today. And there's more on the horizon. This era reminds me of the early 90's where dance was out and alternative and hip hop took over, only it's in reverse now.

You're right, now that I think of it! I remember back when certain (what I once thought were "hardcore") hip hop songs crossed over into rhythmic radio, especially in Az! I used to think "uh oh, Arizona is finally gettin' hard!". Then I used to go to L.A. and judge Power 106 on their level of "gangstaness". This was back in my hip hop days when I used to compare everything with the Atl. style and thought that the more hip hop the local station played, the cooler that city was. Good times.... ;D
As far as freestyle sounds crossing over, well, I don't know what to think because the last major uptempo / dance hit that made it big without the typical house beat pattern (as far as I remember) was "Like a G6". Ever since then,other than exclusive dj booty & breakbeat remixes from dj sites, everything has gone house. The breakbeats have pretty much died (with exception for Cee-lo of course).
I'm thinking a Jocelyn Enriquez "do you miss me" style song could work today, ESPECIALLY WITH the type of songs Black Eyed Peas has been releasing lately that start out one way then flip to end with a completely different style. If that drastic measure can work, then a simple house beats first & second verse production structure with a breakbeat breakdown in the end should easily be able to pass "undetected" as a modern day hit.
