I always thought when you say a girl is zero degrees frozen, that meant she wasn't into you. Lil Wayne: Down like she's supposed to be She gets down all over me Down like her temperature 'Cause to me, she's zero degrees I mean, it even has the now-required cameo from Lil Wayne, who has always sounded like he's going through puberty. Todd: I've.I've never heard a song that sounds this much like everything. Flo Rida: Low low low low Akon: Na na na na Chris Brown: With you, with you, with you, with you I mean, it sounds like everything else on the radio. Todd: See? He even rhymes "down" with "down." Although, you know, I can't be too surprised it's a hit song right now. Jay Sean: Down down down down down Down down Even if the sky is falling down And.you know, it's an impressive feat for a song that's only a word long. I mean, it's on the pop stations, it's on the country stations, it's on the gospel stations.the Rush Limbaugh stations. Todd (VO): Now.maybe you don't pay attention to the pop charts, but I do, and this song is everywhere. So.there's one song I wanna look at in particular. If you'll.just give me a moment, I'd like to indulge in one of my favorite pastimes-over-analyzing cheap pop songs. (Fade into Todd playing "Down" on his piano.) But you have to start somewhere-I started with this, for some reason. I didn't know how to act, didn't know how to write, didn't know how to edit, didn't know how to film, didn't know how to frame I still don't know how much I've really learned about this since I've started. Like.like who.who's really bothered by "Down" by Jay Sean? And I started on it, I figured it'd be easy, and I found out I couldn't.figure out how to do anything. And I'm not sure why I picked such an innocuous song to start off with. This was so much harder than I thought it was gonna be. The humble.very humble beginnings of Todd In The Shadows. I was just so excited by it.Īnd this is the first episode. And I just loved the image of it, so I couldn't stop myself from doing it. And then I had just this great idea of this image of this.silhouette guy I can.sitting at his piano, he could play piano. But I'd been doing reviews in my blog for a long time, and.you know, I was scared of showing my face. And.then I had the idea to do the pop song reviews, and I'd been writing reviews of songs.in my blog, which is long gone by now, you can't find it. ![]() And I.never found a good reason or, you know, the motivation to actually try it. You see, I'd been kicking around the idea of doing reviews like.I'd seen, like, The Nostalgia Critic and Angry Video Game Nerd I'd seen them do it for a long time and been a huge fan. ![]() You know, people have been telling me I needed to do that for a long time, so that's what I'm gonna do, and I'm gonna do a little intro on all of them. ![]() Um.I'm finally putting my YouTube videos up all in one place. Dwayne "Lil Wayne" Carter, Jr.Todd: Hello, everybody.During the rap break, Lil Wayne is seen wearing a red T-shirt with the word 'COMMUNIST' in white capitalized letters. The video features Hispanic American model Korrina Rico as the lead lady, dancers, bright blue lights and bottles. The Buckinghamshire mansion featured is Hedsor House, an enormous private mansion and park. The music video, directed by Richard Pengelley, was first shot in London on April 24, 2009, with Cash Money crew without Lil Wayne. Kyle Kramer of Vice penned in retrospective assessment, "What's truly iconic, though, is that Wayne took a totally generic pop song for the period, hopped onto it with his bizarro pop flow, and turned it into something memorable." Music video Ginger Clements of Billboard said of the singer's vocals, "impressive tonal clarity," and added of the song's "triumphant, synth-laden beat and memorable hook" which helped it succeed in topping the chart. What's going on? Right! That's Lil Wayne on my song right now!' That day was brilliant." All of a sudden I heard Wayne's Auto-Tune stuff, and I'm like, 'OK. He recalled: "Slim called me up and was like, 'Yo, man, there's something wrong on the second verse that just doesn't sound right.' I was like, 'Really? What?' He played the song. Sean told MTV News that he recorded this song in 90 minutes, after which he received a call from Ronald "Slim" Williams. And it's great to be accepted by the best in the game." He explained, "It's always been a dream for me to sign to an American label. On 15 October 2008, at the MOBO Awards, Jay Sean announced that he had signed with Cash Money Records.
