it's <BR>>not "jiggy". not at all. songs <BR>>and performances should be judged on <BR>>content only. <P>I don't think it's "jiggy." I just don't like it. We're all entitled to our opinions, so I understand that some people will like it...I just don't happen to dig it.<P>> before the <BR>>whole "disco sucks" backlash of the <BR>>70's there was a period where <BR>>quality disco was as respectable as <BR>>anything the beatles or hendrix did. <BR>>(see THE SOUND OF PHILADELPHIA, and <BR>>barry white). so okay. you hear <BR>>a joint on the radio and <BR>>everyone jumps on the jock. you <BR>>then my players have to decide <BR>>for yourself whether or not you <BR>>felt as though that particular song <BR>>was a blatent cash in on <BR>>the culture. <BR>> "vibrant" isn't one of those <BR>>songs. <P>I agree with you. I just don't dig it.<P>if it is than please <BR>>enlighten me. the loop is classic <BR>>barry white. and tip's just being <BR>>himself. mind you hearing a jam <BR>>in a club can always alter <BR>>your view. the speakers where tight. <BR>>low end was heavy. and the <BR>>dj was good. my date was <BR>>bangin' and this song comes on.....and <BR>>the shit was.........tight. <BR>> <BR>>which leads me to my point. <BR>>as a musician how far will <BR>>y'all let me go? i mean <BR>>yeah i make these records for <BR>>your enjoyment, but i admit i <BR>>got heads at heart when i <BR>>create. not like "oh they'll love <BR>>it" more like "let's try and <BR>>chalk one up for the "good <BR>>guys""<P>Even though we okayplayers have similar tastes when it comes to music/hip-hop/the roots/etc., we aren't a homogenous group. Some of us may dig something while other okayplayers may not dig it.<P>There probably were a lot of okayplayers who DID dig Vivrant, but didn't speak up for fear of retribution.<P> because the hip-hop i enjoy <BR>>(loot pack, slum village, black star, <BR>>gang starr, outkast, etc.) needs a <BR>>stellar starting team to go to <BR>>war against "them" (the bad/whack guys). <BR>>so i look as each creation <BR>>as a fired cannon in a <BR>>war in which i'm proudly serving <BR>>my side. <BR>> <BR>> but metaphores <BR>>aside. sometimes i get the craving <BR>>to do afrobeat records (see: fela) <BR>>or i wanna put a kick <BR>>ass rock joint on our shit. <BR>>sheeeeit for those lucky enough to <BR>>attened the second show/second night bowery <BR>>show. what we did to you <BR>>got me was a miricle. that <BR>>classic house shit with lots of <BR>>percussion. yesterday i drumed on a <BR>>remix of the 80's classic "baby <BR>>i'm scared of you" man that <BR>>shit felt liberating! that's what i <BR>>want to do. <P>I personally LUV that ish. But then again, I LUV 80'S & classic HOUSE music.<P>As far as "vivrant," who knows, after hearing it for the 50th time, I may like it. But right now, I ain't feelin' it.<P><BR>natural1<P>"Her daddy would beat H.E.R., eyes all puff..." Common
