4. "Yes. The 1st was more "hip-hoppy" but the 2nd was cool.." In response to In response to 2
Yes, it was very dancey and poppy compared to other artists, but that was Kwame's lane.
I liked how he used the female vocalist. The production was tight, and he crafted a cohesive album which actually told a story ("A Day In The Life"). Where he went wrong was the over-emphasis on the polka dots and the blatant Prince stanning he did all over that album and its videos. I definitely enjoyed his music more than folks like PM Dawn and the Dream Warriors.
He was "soft" or whatever.. but he was witty and funky.
Someone made a Kid N Play post the other day.. I kinda put him in that same bag since Herbie Luv Bug exec produced the LP; however, I think Kwame was/is WAY more musically talented than Kid n Play combined. I never bothered checking for Nastee.. I think the single combined with my developing tastes pretty much turned me off from checking it out.
