27626, Real vs Fake
Posted by guest, Sun Jan-30-00 07:52 PM
One thing that all of us intelligent folx know, is our family, friends, foes, and what have you don't know what's real and what's fake in terms of music. It's a shame to see such misguided souls. And what's worse is to hear them utter those words: "I dont like it." That's what most said when they saw and heard the Left & Right song and video. Many of us wonder why they are sleeping on Voodoo. One answer: They have been without meaningful music for so long, that they'll automatically settle for the run-of-the mill type shhhh. We've been listening, for the past few years or so, to machine-produced sounds. Add a couple of over-moussed white boys and you got over-hyped, over-publicized results. People trying to sound hip, all in all, trying to be down. I had almost lost faith in music until i started listening to the Roots(still loving You Got Me, and their most current cd). The icing on the cake was when I heard that D'Angelo was coming out with this newest masterpiece. Now that it's here, I cant go without listening to it. Track # 7 is what i wake up to <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif">. Some dont realize that YES, people do still use real live instruments. And YES, people really do still feed your souls with their lyrics. That's what Voodoo does for me. People tend to ride the crowded fake bandwagon until they fall off, and realize that the real bandwagon has much more room and freedom to it. Hopefully they'll get the picture before it's too late. D, keep doin what you doin. Brown Sugar was the coctail, Voodoo the apetizer, now i'm waiting for the main meal, then the dessert and so on and so on. It's gettin better step by step. THANK YOU for feeding my soul.
