Rap-Up.com || New Music: Ciara f/ Ludacris

Ciara may be front row at Givenchy fashion shows and lunching with Kim Kardashian, but she’s still the same around-the-way girl from ATL. The R&B singer takes it back to her roots on “Ride,” the first single from her fourth album Basic Instinct. Super C effortlessly glides over the sensual beat courtesy of Tricky Stewart and The-Dream, while Ludacris tries to tame this stallion with his hypnotizing flow. Hold on tight.

This is def an urban hit.!! But I think Ciara should follow this single with a uptempo track that’ll get the mainstream audience.! Like Usher did wit Lil Freak, OMG and Ludacris MyChickBadd, HowLow.

I must say that I had my doubts about her first single and wasn’t impressed when I heard a clip from the other day. But now that I’ve heard it and have been listening to it a couple of times I actually like it. It’s real smooth. CiCi is returning to her roots and what made her famous. Those Slow chopped and screwed crunk beats. It’s taking me back to her first CD. This project is looking up. Hopefully this will do well on the Pop charts as well as the urban which I know it will own already. Welcome back Ciara.

DEATH at this boring monotone mess reaching anybodies #1 chart!! Ride will be lucky if it can do what Go girl did, even that song had more intrigue and variation in the beat.
Vocally Ciara has never been better, but that can’t save the onetone beat. It just draaags and draaagggs! I can’t believe he didnt add anything to the Chorus like he did with rude boy (the synths) or even Like a Surgeon. Does Tricky really think this will keep anyone’s interest enough to request on radio?

pft this is a mixtape track at best, not even worth album filler. Maybe as a short intro or something, but 5 minutes of drab drearyness? #hohaveaseat

Only thing the more I listen to it, I realize the beginning drags until around 2nd verse & Luda’s part and afterwards it gets better. The song seems kinda backwards…the flow and everything it’s dead at the start then gets good towards then end..then it ends! Idk the mroe i listen the better I’ll like it but so far I love It!

Believe me this song is a certified FLOP.
The beat has no intrigue, not high’s or lows.
It just stays on one plateau all throughout.
This type of beat only works when the beat is extremely subdued/energetic and the singer or rapper is spitting pure fire. For example Boom Boom Pow and A milli can get away with a monotone beat because they are energetic and we focus on the lyrics.

Ride has an annoying synth constantly playing in the backround that makes the listener want to turn it off. Had they saved the synth for just the Chorus the song might have been a winner. Such a minor detail can screw up everything.

I love the chopped and screwed parts of the song absolutely insane. Im glad Tricky and Dream used the same formula from Like a surgeon cause that was my favorite song on Fantasy Ride. This song is gonna do good i can tell already cause its so damn catchy. The responce so far is very good. I remember when Go Girl came out, the response was very bad but this is the exact opposite which is a good sign for this song doing well. Her next single should be a high tempo song though with some crazy coreography cause thats the one thing everyones waiting for.

I used to love Ciara but she keeps putting out boring garbage songs, I had to move on to Rihanna. She’s a girl that has an ear for what sounds radio friendly and what will sell. Ciara lost that ages ago. I mean how do you not release Tell Me What Your Name is?

Basic Instinct please! When Rih’s album leaked that was the one song that everyone said would be a hit, along with firebomb. Ride is nothing but Rude boy’s ghetto bootleg cousin on downers. Rude Boy has genius and playful lyrics with a extremely fun beat to back it up. Ride is just Ciara talking basically, no real format to her verses.

@Corbin Sparks Its not about you. She’s taken us back to her roots where everybody enjoyed her music. We don’t want to see Ciara change or move onto Pop like she did with Fantasy Ride. “Ride” has taken us back to her roots and her main goal was to just please her fans and she has done so amazingly so please just shut up. Clearly you are not a fan, its sad to see people going onto blogs and sites just to hate. People like you should go outside once in awhile.

Then you got a beat that takes us nowhere, I mean what do we have to look foward too? Luda is the only high point and that’s because the beat actually Changes! Rudeboy gives me subdued verses, a stong chorus, and a sexy bridge that actually has a melody change. Ride is never doing it with it’s monotone azz.

April 13th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Jayson how dare you. I was a fan of her more than Rihanna but lost her ear for music while Rihanna gained one.
And it’s not about taking us back. It’s about a boring beat that leaves me underwhelmed. None of her singles from goodies had a monotone ass beat with no energy. She could have given me a urban banger or a hood rider and I would have lived. High Price, Like A Surgeon, and Speechless give me exactly what I need.

This song however is even more boring that Love sex Magic was, and that song got old fast due to its flat beat.

But let me stop cause I see the truth is upsetting yall. You will see when this fails to crack the bubbling under though. I was rooting for her, but she has shown me that Rihanna is the new princess. Sorry Cecil but you failed your last chance. Now who is ready for Rihanna to slay the scene with Rockstar 101? I know i am!

Ciara has alot of potential like seriously she could be like Janet/Madonna status but it’s like they never find the right team to put behind her. Like if they built a team around her that are just for her and will market her the right way, keep her name circulating and help create good music with her she would be huge! The problem is Jive has to many big name artist they are trying to back all at one time! Most labels have a few Key artist like IDJ has Rihanna & Ne-yo, Columbia has Beyonce, Interscope has Lady Gaga and Akon but Jive has Britney, Pink, Ciara, Chris Brown, Usher, Justin Timberlake and a few others!

Death yall must have got ya feelings hurt. I have already tossed Cierror in the garbage bin so no need to come for me. I have moved on sweety’s and swoons, she has been payed dust. It is all about Rihanna now. Don’t be sayin my name no more cause I dont want anything to do with this flop. Damn I can’t even leave with positivity.

This song is incredible!

Nobody does a slow jam like ciara does, This works for her, and she knows it – she KILLED it, and Luda added some extra flavor. I Love the beat, her voice, the rap, the video’s gonna be INSANE

This will def. be another #1 R and B hit on billboard, undoubtedly top 20, and very possibly top 10. It’s got that 90′s aaliyah, genuine – pony feel – only sweeter and sexier. I love her vocals. AMAZING!!!

Buy the song! She deserves the support

I’ve been listening to this song so much.

Im extremely proud of her as an artist. She’s so hated on yet she continuously pushes forward giving more and more.

She’s FINALLY about to start owning the Lanes she was meant for. Queen of Sultry R&B and Dance music*

lol I think you are really really addicted to “wind”, and your ears are uneducated :-)
I tried to understand this fanatism and ecstasy the last time, but I really think it’s about generation, so much anthousiasm… it’s very strange for that shit. Its cool, but NOT THAT GREAT! stop to promote shit music, listen to REAL MUSIC :-)

Of course Im gonna be a “hater”, cuz of my opinion :-) it’s your favorite word.

But why cant Ciaras music be titled “Real music” for you? In my opinion she brings something different to the table and thats what makes her and her music interesting to me.

[Reply]
Hello groupies
April 14th, 2010 at 4:54 am
I think her music is just cool and fun. but really, it’s not that deep, it’s very superficial. listen to her voice in her new song, it’s like everybody can sing that, that’s why I said that.
I like some songs by Ciara but it’s just cool and entertaining. No deep, no special voice. A good product. It’s not a problem. But the oustanding ectasy about Ciaras music out there is weird to me. Not hating.

Your the insects that wish to be on the bottom of her shoe, however youre not even good enough to be. Your the air that wish she would breathe, but youre the carbon dioxide that’s killing the ozone layer. Like that, your hate is destroying humanity and you seriously need to get a life!! @CORBIN SPARKS!! Youre obviously obsessed with her, youre half the comments on this post.

Ride is a top 10 hit
April 14th, 2010 at 10:41 am
I know this song will do well. This song is very urban but a good enough song to be on billboard hot 100. Some people dont know anything about the music industry smh. it doesnt matter how urban the song is as long as people are feeling it and request it to radio, it can get enough spins to make it into the top 10 on billboard. Trey songz Say Aah with Fabolous was so urban but still made it to #6 on billboard hot 100. So im not even gonna take u haters seriously if u say this song wont be a top 10 hit cause u will see what happens then your mouth will be shut and imma be saying “I Told You So”.
