What r ur opinions on these songs? I for one like both of them. I think they are really nice but I also know that there r alot of ppl who dislike both of them becoz they think they r simplistic. They note the constant repeating of single words over and over in both songs and the throwaway lyrics. What do you think of them?

We Like It

Ready

formula:

Step 1: take word
Step 2: repeat 27 times
Step 3: tell listener to "jump" and "wine"

now I like these tunes, and in the fete and on the road yes I will be jumping, but I can't listen to these tunes otherwise, irritating to say the least, give me some lyrical content if you expect listens and spins after the fete done

These rookies don't know shit bout soca. Iwer "Di Boss" George has been repeating words and making hits since the 90s... whats new about it? All he needs are these 2 songs to take on the road after carnival along with his other his other hits and he'll be making more money than most artists. This year he juss turned up the repeats a notch.

lol Boi I dont even waste my time with some people..when tune released they like it, same tune get popular they love it...Raving and Sway in D mas was not liked by many but now loved by almost everyone...same will happen for Won't stop and Wanna love you

these fools........ dont they know iwer is de boss he dont give a fack bout mainstream let the rest ah dem run down that bloodclaat while he do what he do best.............which is be the longest consistant artist in the history of soca lol

big deal if he's been using the same tired formula for years and years! was never questioning how long he had been doing it- but I'm saying come with something meaningful if you are going to claim a tune to be the biggest of the year

the hypocrisy in Soca Chat is a little out of hand though- I don't see people saying OK Iwer- since you've repeated a standard formula of the past years, you need to come with something new and different every year like they do with the HD camp

what was his last big tune before this year? 2007's "Fete After Fete" where he repeated words as well? in 2006 it was "We Reach" right? We Reach was cool but in Fete After Fete he sounded like Goofy from the Scare Dem Crew. Is that all he has left to follow the same repeating words formula?

let's not forget that Ready is on the Xante riddim and We Like It is on the Coconut Tree too- with that said, I have a hard time saying yeah a tune is the top tune out of Trinidad if it's on a riddim as well, because with a riddim- you always consider the other tunes voiced on it versus an original production where you have basis to say- this is the only tune on this instrumental that was built for the purpose of one song only- and as a result this is what I think, etc

will these tunes be big this year and will Iwer have a successful season- probably- will people jam to them all season long- without a doubt- they are highly simplistic lyrics over sonically pleasing riddim versions and people have a tendency to gravitate towards the most simple music- so that doesn't surprise me...

what does surprises me is that a lot of IMIXers seem to want to shelve other tunes released this year on account of these tunes and they need to clean the mafia wax out of their ears and listen to more of the quality music that has been released this year and not be so blinded by the hype that is swirling around these two tunes specifically- there's plenty of music out there, that in my opinion, bring more to the table for TnT 2009 than these two tunes- and sooner or later- I hope people figure it out for themselves instead of being lemmings about what's hot or is going to make the most $ this year

now, if you want to let "D' Boss" Iwer george carry the flag for TnT this year, so be it- but before you make this proclamation, stop and check for some other tunes and LISTEN to them before dismissing them as something you can't give a nice forward to because you think "Ready" and "We Like It" are so stinking big

I am not a big fan of "We like it" (But I understand the appeal, especially if I was down in TnT right now), but I enjoy "Ready". Love him or hate him, Iwer is brilliant at what he does, making mindless lite party music fun.

i understand what u saying here but you see Iwer is a kinda type of fella eh .... he doh have to really sing anything meanigful like u say in order to have big tune....he just have that VIBE about him that im sure alot of artists wished they had....d man in a class by himself hoss
