I wasn't gonna respond due to the fact that your post is just another in a long line of bitter hatred that some of the general public chooses to display on this board. But due to the fact that I, fire, really has a problem with idiots, i will do my best to respectfully respond, but with a fuck you under the breath of my words.<P>>i don't know how to say this. <BR>>this is really hard for me <BR>>considering the roots common and d'angelo <BR>>are some of my favorite performers <BR>>of this new hip-hop era. i <BR>>don't know how i can say <BR>>this considering the roots and common <BR>>are two of my biggest influences <BR>>in the hip-hop music i create. <BR>>understand me when i say i <BR>>am an okayplayer, but i'm not <BR>>a dick rider. i don't want <BR>>to say this but, FUCK A <BR>>SOULQUARIAN <P>You saying this is the equivalent of me saying that I love all the songs that the Isleys have made, but Ernie Isley's guitar, just didn't do it for me. If you said, I don't like this one particular song or the image that was set forth at a specific time, fine. But how can you love and hate something/someone at the same time? Oh, I didn't take into consideration SCHIZOPHRENIA! Beyond that I would only say that you either want attention or you're a hater. You make the call.<P><BR>>d'angelo's album-a dissapointment-there were some nice tunes <BR>>don't get me wrong but, brown <BR>>sugar sounded like a debut album <BR>>and was cool for it's time <BR>>but i expected him to step <BR>>it up. songs sound too similar. <P>This is your opinion, clearly. To a TRUE music listener, Voodoo sounds nothing like Brown Sugar. Oh, yes it does IT HAS THE SAME FUCKING SINGER ON IT!!!!!!!! Oh, maybe D should've changed his voice and copped a trinity and a drum machine, that would've been wise.......<P><BR>>why stick to using the same <BR>>instruments if you can't make those <BR>>instruments sound new or fresh every <BR>>track. <P>Have you ever used live instruments? If not, don't even dare ask this question. <P>>common's album better than d'angelo's but still <BR>>was not as innovative as one <BR>>day it will all make sense. <P>How can you compare a rapper to a singer? <P>>still not as unique as one <BR>>day it all makes sense or <BR>>ressurection. <BR>>is the soulquarians mission to make everyone <BR>>sound the same. are tracks on <BR>>lwfc and voodoo not interchangeable? <BR>>do the soulquarians believe they have the <BR>>perfect formula for creating hip-hop soul? <P>They better believe it. If you don't love you who will?<P>><BR>>do the soulquarians believe they have the <BR>>ability to produce the massess? <P>I hope not, no one producer/production team should produce every artist. That would make black music even more copycat than it already is.<P><BR>>or are they just cocky bastards? <P>cocky bastards. Like you?<P>>my veiw is that my mentors are <BR>>running out of creative juices. to <BR>>succesfully produce the massess you have <BR>>to beable to give each artist <BR>>a unique sound. <P>Define unique sound. Cause Jimmy and Terry sound the same, they just tailor the music to fit the artist.<P>>i know i'm going to get shit <BR>>on for this because the majority <BR>>of you cats won't listen to <BR>>new ideas that go against the <BR>>grain. <P>Nope, we won't. We wanna be stick to the same formulas and ideas like the soulquarians. Okayplayer is a cult you know. <P>GET CRUNK!<P>I AM BLACK MUSIC <P>"In the name of love and war<BR>took my shield and sword<BR>from the pit of the bottom<BR>that knows no floor<BR>Like the rain to the dirt<BR>Like the vine to the wine<BR>From the alpha creation<BR>Till the end of time......." - D'Angelo<P>"FIRE!" - Ohio Players<P>"Step into my office. Why? Cause you're fired!!!!!" - Something about Mary<P>"Got to keep my irons in the fire" - Teena Marie<P>"When you are oppressed the only thing you understand is your oppressor." - fire<P>LIKE FIRE IS CHOCOLATE<BR>LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE - MARCH 28<P>
