Really? The-Dream Says R&B Dudes Have Been Trying to Steal His Sound

While back out on tour mode, singer/songwriter The-Dream took time out in his show to let people know that since he’s been busy getting married, getting divorced, figuring out expensive divorce settlements, and helping other people make hit singles, he’s noticed a crop of fellas out there who are trying to sound just like him and be just like him.

“I haven’t done a show in close to two years, and ever since then, there’s like four n****s who sound like me now. I’m just being honest. I remember before 2007, nobody knew what to do with this s**t.”

Hmmm, I don’t know who in particular he could be talking to. He could be referencing folks like Trey Songz, Frank Ocean, or even popular Canadian crooner The Weeknd, but either way, I see him throwing shade! I just wish people wouldn’t say things like that, because these days, everybody is influenced by everybody (and let’s keep it real, his first album had so many attempts at the brotha trying to sound like Prince).  Check out what he had to say in the video below (it’s at the beginning), and see snippets of him performing jams like “Purple Kisses,” “Walking on the Moon,” and “Shawty is a Ten.” Big laughs around the 4.15 mark when he tries to do some kind of awkward crotch-grab dance that MJ wouldn’t be proud of.

And P.S., check out the old-school Roc-a-Fella chain he has on…what could that be about?


Who do you think he’s talking about?

    *motioning with my finger* Hey Dream….your a** is dreaming. Take a whole stadium full of these_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/.#marka**buster

    I think he’s definitely talking about The Weekend and probably Miguel.

    • Bw

      Miguel most definitely has his own sound.. He doesn’t remotely sound like the Dream

    I just CAN.NOT do this with The Dream this morning. I’ve heard/seen this guy in numerous interviews and he comes off as delusional and arrogant in each and every one. He really has an “I used to be lame and go unnoticed to all the girls, but now I have money, so I can do/say whatever I want” vibe. The remarks he made regarding his cheating on Christina Milian (sp) on the Breakfast Club Morning Show with Charlamagne tha God were borderline disrespectful. Give this guy a hee-haw!!

    SUPER thirsty! You’re only relevant because of great song-writing and music production, as well as having a beautiful baby-mama who was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of your league. Please hush and keep it movin’.

    The Dream is one of the people who should just stick to production.  His songs are good just not when he sings them.  He sucks as an artist and should be glad somebody (ELSE) can make his songs, music, sound etc. sound good.

    As long as they don’t steal his ugly a** Teddy Ruxbin looking face, then he’ll be fine!

    People are trying to sound like that??  Why?

    And who are the people who showed up to hear him…or did he go to the mall?

  • IllyPhilly

    Why is he that big (fat) and sounds like a b!tch.
