..."vibe" with certain things.
I think things get mixed up when certain things seem "undeniable" like "mama's gun" or p-funk in general.
For instance, I'm not open to Maxwell at all, but I can sort of tell what albums of his are "closer" to what seems "better" to me.
I wasn't open to D'angelo's 2nd album for a long time (except for "untitled") but now I can see why it is actually good. I always thought "Black Messiah was very good but messed up bad on the sound quality (like Sly's "riot"). I was always "iffy" on "Brown sugar" and Badu's "Baduism").
But I don't think I'll ever come around to Maxwell or probably Jill Scott or India.Ire, etc. - just not "open" to them - but they all got "somethin'"
