"Bottoms Up" Trey Songz ft. Nicki Minaj

Trey Songz is definitely riding this wave of commercial success but releasing his next album only a year after "Ready" came out.  Its a smart move, as long as he remembers quality not quantity, but I'm not too worried about that.  I also hopes he puts out a mixtape before "Passion, Pain and Pleasure" like he did with "Anticipation" for "Ready" which sounds just as good, if not better than the album.
Trey has been doing a lot of power ballads and lovey dovey songs lately, but he's most echoing the success of one of his most widely commercial songs "Say Ahh" Trey comes out swinging with a club banger, which is perfect for summer.  It's a pretty okay song, I'm not crazy about it, but I think its perfect for the club and just enjoying this heat.  Nicki takes her turn and shows how she would be perfect for an animated series.  I don't think she's an awful rapper, but she definitely expresses herself and I think she really view rapping as her outlet to explore anything and everything, and I can't hate on her for that.  None of her stuff could really be described as "weak."  Even though I'm not a huge fan of the song, I'm not too worried.  "I Need a Girl" is one of my least favorite songs off "Ready" and that was the first single.  I'm not really into R & B but I'm really excited for this next album. "Ready" is surprisingly one of the albums that I can listen to front to back without skipping, which is rare in any genre.  The album is due out Sept. 14th but I feel like he's going to move it up like he did "Ready" in order to be considered for the 2011 Grammy's instead of 2012.  Plus Kanye comes out that day, lets pick our battles here.
