Trey Songz Talks ‘Bottoms Up’ Video

Published: Wednesday 11th Aug 2010 by Sam

Sexually-charged singer Trey Songz sat down with MTV recently to discuss the video for his new single ‘Bottoms Up (ft. Nicki Minaj)’. While everything from the song’s title, to it’s lyrical content boast the same raciness Songz has become renown for, the 25 year old claims the Anthony Mandler directed clip is heading in another direction.

Check out what the sometimes-clothed star had to say below…

I can’t help but feel it’s asking a bit too much of Songz to keep his clothes on and leave that baby oil in the drawer. Nonetheless, it’ll be interesting to see if he can actually serve up a video of substance this go round; after all, he’s going to need to.

For, with Trey’s ‘Pain, Pleasure, & Pain’ LP still slated for a September 14th release, it means he’ll be dropping the album on the back of just one proper single and a poorly-performing reality show (a huge risk in this current musical climate). With his last album only just going Gold, and spawning only one hit out of six releases, I still get the distinct impression that smoke and mirrors are being used to sell Songz as being more than he is – something which will ultimately make his first-week album sales oh-so-interesting to see.

In case, I’ll reserve full  judgement until seeing the ‘Bottoms Up’ video itself. Word has it that it’ll be premièring any day now.

    The song is awful but he has a solid fanbase so no worries.

  2. Reality Check August 11, 2010

    I just watched the latest episode of his show – I prefer his family moments but I be yawning to much to watch it…….

    I am a big fan of Treys but I wanna see something else from him because am getting bored of him and no clothes self!!!!

    I didn’t know that “Ready” only went Gold. After all those singles that were released from it. Wow, I agree with others when said that “Bottoms Up” isn’t such a good song to come out, it isn’t single-worthy and I doubt it’ll be #1 for Trey. We’ll see.

  4. Christopher August 11, 2010

    Now Sam. “One hit out of six releases?’ Get real. All 6 of those releases went Top 10 at Urban radio and 5 of of them went Top 10 on Billboard’s R&B charts. Let’s just be honest here and stop trying to put down artists’ success.

  5. Ivonne August 11, 2010

    He’s just so boring to me. Trey was cute first time he came out. I was feeling it. Then Ready came out, i was like Ok. But single after single I was disappointed and sort of turned off, by his overly sexual image. It’s like we get it your s*** and you can get it on. Now I’m hearing this “Bottoms Up” piece of s***. Will I be buying this album? AHHHHHHHHHH NO.

  6. leah August 11, 2010

    trey songz chris brown is back your services is no longer needed

  7. CIARADABESS August 11, 2010

    To be honest. Will i be buying the album? NO
    Do I think his single is good? NO (what the f*** is BOTTOMS UP)

    Trey you were good while you were here. That’s all im going to say.

    NEXT!

  8. Carmello August 11, 2010

    He should wait a year or two to release another album. I just don’t see my self buying one of his album this year……..

  9. Richard August 11, 2010

    Sam if Trey underperformed, Kelly is a flop lol. Just because he was mean to you doesn’t mean you should react so bitter.

    Trey had many urban smashes this year. End of story.

  10. stan August 11, 2010

    it’ll be interesting to see if he can maintain the momentum this time around

  11. childboo August 11, 2010

    I FAN OF TREY SONGZ BUT

    “BOTTOMS UP” IS THE WACKEST SONG HE EVER MADE

    HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE A ANOTHER “SAY AHHH ” BUT HE FAIL

  12. Santi August 11, 2010

    could you PLEASE stop posting things about this asshole!? thanks a lot.

  13. Toxic August 11, 2010

    Ohhh Yay More Music for horny Women !!!!

  14. ella August 11, 2010

    Why are Trey Gays teeth so YELLOW???? He has yuck mouth and he looks like Tommy Davidson. #NotSexy

  15. Alexander August 11, 2010

    The song is whacked out!
    All you Trey Fans and need to chill out and stop buying his lame albums okay! R Kelly is back and stop hating on one of the greatest R&B artist in our modern times!
    Trey dissed a legend to sell his album and didn’t do so well only going gold! Baa Baa Baa Sheep.

    Bottoms up is so weak there is no vocal other than raps and Nicki whacked out lyrics as well!
    It sounds like captain hook theme song or something! I repeat! DO NOT RELEASE THIS ALBUM OR YOU’RE DONE GOAT SONGZ!

    YOU FAT NO HAIR WEARING COTEX BLEEDERS LOVE THIS DUDE CAUSE OF HIS FAKE LOOKS AND YOU SORRY DUDES LOVE HIM CAUSE HE IS GAY

    I kinda like ‘Bottoms up’ but mainly because of Nicki’s verse.

    A lot of my friends went to his concert in Shrevport this past weekend, and they said Trey was putting them to sleep in the beginning of his performance but then picked it up at the end, which is what I expected and the reason I didn’t want to go. I knew he was going to perform his new ish from PPP and no one was gonna know what the hell it was. I just never think it’s a good idea to perform new ish that hasn’t been released at your show b/c people will get bored really easily. He should have waited to do this tour AFTER PPP was released. On top of that I’ve seen him perform the ‘Ready’ material twice and I’m sure nothing would have been different about that. ‘Ready’ does have amazing material, I’m just kinda sick of hearing it after damn near a year and half!

    However, they said Monica KILLED it!

  17. Dutty Love August 11, 2010

    Not a fan.

  18. Tawny August 11, 2010

    LMAO @ one hit. All of Trey Songz’s singles were Urban hits – that’s his core fanbase. You don’t have to cross over to Pop radio or be Top 10 on the Hot 100 for your song to be considered a hit. And his album sold 700k+ which again, is great for a male R&B singer. Who else has done it recently?

    I’m not even a fan, but don’t try to downplay people’s success just because you don’t like them. Meanwhile you’re sitting around praising Kelly Rowland and Ciara who are the REAL flops.

  19. Lady August 11, 2010

    Trey you should wait until next year to release an album. Cuz September 14 is coming up fast and I’m not liking Bottoms Up. I kinda like Nicki’s verse but when will people learn putting Nicki on a song is getting old? Like everyone is doing it just for sales and its a mess. You can do better Trey.

  20. Kross August 11, 2010

    One word four letter: FAIL!!!!!!!!

  21. CONVERSATION CHAMBER August 11, 2010

    At least he’s keeping it real by sticking to R&B/Urban-contemporary and isn’t trying to jump on that cheesy “electropop” bandwagon for the sake of appealing to suburban teenager girls and gay guys with something that sounds fished out of Taio Cruz’ toilet. I’m not a fan of TS, but if nothing else I can at least respect him for that. Too bad Usher and Kelly Rowland opted to not stay as true.

  22. MeMe August 11, 2010

    ^^ Co-sign. I love Trey for staying r&b and AVOIDING autotune

  23. Lady August 11, 2010

    Oh and I heard Kanye’s album is coming out September 14 too so you might have some competition Trey…..

  24. UM August 11, 2010

    I’ll be flushing my Ready album down the toilet and laughing my ass off when I see the racks full of CD’s at walmart because no one wants to buy it.

  25. Alexander August 11, 2010

    Flush them down the tubes!
    Bottoms up! hahah, Trey and Ne-yo taking turns doing there bottoms up!
    He should’ve called the song up his mud hole

    @LADY Kanye pushed his album back to Novemeber release. I think November 16th.

  28. Minnie August 12, 2010

    H A T E R S are lined up and down this comment section! lol.. wtf? What kind of sense does it make to start tryna downplay all of his success because you dont like the f****** song? I dont think its one of his BEST, but lets be real, its going to be a hit simply because its a club song. The man is gifted.. he has loyal fans… and he’s s*** which makes him a hot commodity. One “Bad” single isnt going to ruin him. TRUST!

  29. Alexander August 12, 2010

    Minnie your on dope or something; Trey Songz is finished and I mean finished!
    R Kelly is back with a book and three albums coming out which will all go platinum plus!
    Untitled album still has 29 weeks left before the certification RIAA is closed! Remember this album was suppose to be 4th quater! But it was leaked.

    Trey is all hype with no vocals

  30. Guivanda August 12, 2010

    HATERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, stop judging n carry on with ur lifes…

  31. Alexander August 13, 2010

    And somebody please fix his eyebrows!

  32. LISA August 13, 2010

    @ALEXANDER

    It’s funny how Trey talked about doing his girlfriend’s eyebrows in high school. He shoulda fixed his own s***. Loser ass F-A-G n**** LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  33. jamina graham August 13, 2010

    I think that Trey will be just fine! it’s not about the people who aint feelin him (cause everybody won’t ) but it is about the ones who do 🙂

  34. mil4reloaded August 15, 2010

    Can’t believe all the Trey jealous haters on this blog. Dear Jealous Hater, let me know when you get a successful music career and a gold album so I can hate all over you. Oh but that will never happen because you have no talent and no life. The boy is holding it down for traditional R&B right now. Give him his props. You may not like him, but his talent is undeniable. And as for all the wack gay rumors, whether they are true or not, what does that have to do with the quality of his music? Nothing.

  35. breanna August 20, 2010

    all yall some hatersz like foreal if yall dont like em then shut up and go on with ya life damn !

  39. Miss Gee August 25, 2010

    I love the jam bottoms up… The man has gifted written all over him– maybe those that r being negative critics should look at his overall achievements as an artist- he has a lot of underground mixed tapes as well… Hell- R Kelly’s songs aren’t all hits- but he’s still considered the king of rnb… All Luther songs aren’t hits- but he still holds his crown– so people please give credit where its due.. All we as people know how to do is hate n 2010.. Congrats Trey- you transformed from a boy 2 a man with a smooth transition.. Much respect!!!

  40. Justin September 1, 2010
