[THEV1LL4N]

^ it's obviously the cookie monster charisma.

lol. i think he just likes the beat or the chorus.

 

[Lil KaMiKaZe]

lol that "summer's vibe",even you listen to it in the winter,you're feeling like the summer and if you don't agree...i don't really give a damn,i'm just giving my opinion

 

[Casey]

"California Love" doesn't have a summer vibe? Or Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "Summertime"? or "Summer Breeze" by DJ Quik? "Fuck with Dre Day"? All of those songs have way more of a summer vibe than "Livin It Up".

IMO "Livin It Up" is only a slighter better-than-average song, made A LOT BETTER by the interpolated chorus from Stevie Wonder's "Do I Do", which is a much better song and itself has even more of a summer vibe.

 

[ill-matic]

ummm no one's saying that those songs arent good summer jams... wtf?


i just really like livin it up. again, the thread name is an exaggeration to suggest how good it is. god damn. it has sentimental value to me as well. it bumps hard, has a catchy hook, a nice sample, and an awesome vibe to it.

so much hate here when someone shares their opinion. bunch of fucking music snobs "ohhh ja is shit" bla bla bla. give me a break
