Slakah, I appreciate. This one right here, someone labled it Down, but it’s basically a remix of B-Boy Beef if you’re familiar with the Beatchild. Change of beat, still a nice flow. Just came across this version today :)
That beautiful music break, just perfectly fits the mood & thoughts of the lyrics.
Ms. Badu gets down on Vh1’s SoulStage. The Healer means alot. No matter how many people oppose Hip-Hop, REAL hip-hop, it always prevails. Bigger than the Government. It is a healer, Music, in itself is a healer. There’s so much garbage rap out here, & that’s all it is. Rapping a game, spittin a piece of messs that gives off the wrong MESSage. However, the truth always speaks louder and moves deeper. In this UFO of a music making with the sounds, the band, she’s doing what she does best. It makes a point & more importantly, the jam sesh is so intimate, makes the music all the more personal to each audience member. :)
Song I couldn’t stop singing today! Hoping I’ll find this one day :) Ms. Deborah Bond, “You are the One”. Who knew she came out with another album July of 2011. Ads for neo-soul artists aren’t as major to them… but the people who love the music , find it. :)
Beautiful Dreamer… Such an inspirational song, never stop dreaming. Someone I admire, Ms. Carolyn Malachi :) Such a beautiful artist with extreme talent… If you’d like to hear me sing some of her songs go to youtube.com/starringshanslg1.
Thanks for this. The Roots Undun, is amazing. They are always brining a new flavor & sound with the same soul. I Loveeee These guys, man . :)
Sleep - The Roots
First-listen thoughts:
Undun is The Roots first concept album to date.
The album on the whole has a relaxed yet somber feel to it at times. While most tracks follow a similar sounding verse-hook-verse structure, the four instrumental movements at the end remind you that The Roots are truly musicians first. There are quite a few guest rappers, but they add a nice flip side of the coin to Black Thought’s insuperable style of painting a struggle from the soul. One wouldn’t need to even hear Black Thought to know when his verse is up in the song; as it is unmistakable in the lyrics themselves:
“ Insomniac, bad dreams got me losing sleep
I’m dead tired, my mind playing tricks, deceit
A face in the glass, unable to admit defeat
All that I am, all that I was is history
The past unraveled, adding insult to this injury”
After my first listen, i’m pleased with the new album. Not because it’s my favorite, but because it holds its own. Undun has a warming personality, and a fighter head-bobbing flow that carries you from Dun to Finality.
