New Video: The-Dream – ‘Long Gone’

Published: Wednesday 21st Sep 2011 by Sam

Perhaps paying tribute to his hopes of singer stardom, The-Dream serves up the video for ‘Long Gone’.

Check it out the clip, the latest to be lifted from his free LP ‘1977’, after the jump…

I wanted to slap myself listening to that chorus “lon-lon-lon-gon-gon”. How excruciating!

While vocal prowess was never anything Terius could boast of, singing through his nose like that is the ultimate no-no. Something he, as a songwriter/producer, should be well-aware of.

Beyond that, the video – while a recession special – is commendable given it’s essentially for a free cut. What’s more, beside few instances of unnecessary vulgarity, the song is lyrically quite engaging. Further highlighting why some folk operate best behind the scenes.

    Comic relief?Why not?Anyway, this song is below average (and the lyrics are not that special either) but it could be solid if performed by someone that has some vocal talent and actual presence and star quality.I know it’s probably very harsh, but after 3 albums, hasn’t anybody told The-Dream that he sucks as an “artist”??And the most tragic is that he actually thinks he’s the business 😕 Poor thing 🙁

    GET OVER IT. He dissed you all because you’re unprofessional. The Dream gets so much critical acclaim for diverse music publications and you continue to act like he’s trash just so you can grind your silly ax.

    Also, if you say recession special one more time (making a grand total of 5,000 utterances) I’m pretty sure a portal to hell will open.

    Remember what he said about Ciara and her “last chance”…Well the dream could eat his own words right now. i’m just saying….

  15. nice_gurl September 21, 2011

    I love the song and the video. It was a free mixtape anyway, so you should be thankful that he released free music and then making videos for the songs.

  16. Ice September 21, 2011

    I’M A FAN OF THE DREAM AND HAVE ALL OF HIS ALBUMS AND I LOVE HIS WORK AS A WRITER AND PRODUCER, BUT I’M HIGLY DISSAPPOINTED IN THIS “1977” MIXTAPE…. BUT “LONG GONE” IS DEF ONE OF THE FEW TRACKS I ACTUALLY DO LIKE OFF THE MIXTAPE. THE LYRICS ARE ON POINT! AND I’M SURE A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE CAN RELATE IN SOME FORM!
