  1. "Longtime The-Dream collaborators Stargate..." Since when have Stargate and The-Dream collaborated? Ever?

  2. ^ I don't recall that ever happening. It's been Ne-Yo and Stargate (and Taj Jackson and Stargate, and Amanda Ghost and Stargate, etc), never The-Dream and Stargate.

    I wonder how the divide between Polow and Danja went. Or, was it 18 each? I wonder if Danja counted for Fergie's "London Bridge", since I recall him playing the drums.
