"Do The Damn Thing" - Rupee feat. Lil' Kim

[Minor Scratch]

His pushed back album (because of Tempted to Touch flopping), 1 on 1, now has a July 12 release date.

This is the lead single featuring labelmate Lil Kim, and not sure what the adds date is for any format. I am not feelin this track too much, but it might be a grower..the productions sounds kinda weak....

Power 96 in Miami had this in #1 rotation a couple wks ago, but has since completely dropped the song off their playlist. Weird. Here's a clip...

If "Tempted to Touch" couldn't become a hit, then likely none of his material will.

Although Atlantic DID sign him to a contract recently in hopes he would make it big, so maybe they will give this a push just so they can release the album and then drop his azz like it's hot.

Yea the soca trend never really worked. The latin stuff is what's in now, and I don't think its going away anytime soon. Tempted To Touch was even remixed by Daddy Yankee a couple months ago, that's how desperate he went to get a hit out of it.

I bet if it was just Daddy Yankee, it would have done better. Too bad for him. Its sad he has to resort to non-soca first single, and add random Lil' Kim to it for props. At least Atlantic is trying their ass off with him. If he fails miserably, the label can def say they tried.

Yea I have heard the Daddy Yankee remix, I even heard it on z103 here a couple of times recently, but I had burned it onto a CD months ago.

Tempted 2 Touch is really old on z103, it was played out and a big hit on that station in the Spring of 2003

"Tempted 2 touch" wasn't a flop...

I don't like this new song.

Where did Tempted 2 Touch peak? I dont remember it being a hit

[Tyler46]

Tempted 2 touch wasn't really big in the US, but it was HUGE in Canada, mainly in Toronto.

[Tyler46]

Btw, this songs is pretty hot. I liek the beat.

[Minor Scratch]

Yea I don't have the evident info like other ppl, but I remember it hitting #30 on Rhythmic and somewhere in the 50s on Pop. It was a huge hit in Europe and Canada, specifically Toronto, years ago, but completely flopped in America. They were expecting a Turn Me On-sized hit. Didn't work for him.
