i walked into a kemp mill a few days ago and heard that version of "you got me" playing and was like "wtf is this?!?!" so i asked the lady working there and she handed me the cd and i proceeded to laugh at its contents:
forgot about d.r.e.
so fresh, so clean
shake ya ass
you got me
the light
etc.

lol
peace

First of all, this without a doubt completely sucks. I was going to be minutely interested in this if it was REAL jazz..
Oh, and anyone have an idea how much this cost Hidden Beach? I'd be curious to see if it pays off.

I actually like this shit in a wacky department store kind of way...the guitar and violin soloing on the songs are so pretensious that I want to burst out laughing everytime i hear it.
this idea was good but the execution really does munch nuts. if i was the manager of a victoria secret store, this is the kinda p_____y shit i'd be playing...no pun intended.

steppers music.

not that they made it for chicago but that cd will be HUGE on the steppers scene.

actually, i listen to the local 'smooth jazz' station and i would'nt mind hearing a coupla those tracks on there. it'd be refreshing.


p.s. i think the cd's cool.

i just got the promotional package from hidden beach...
yeah, sorry to say, but the "unwrapped" was a collection of tracks you hear on somebody's phone when they put u on hold...
somethin smooth, something dislikable, but also somethin unspecial, nothin remarkable...

I Kind of Like it (c)De La Soul is dead. I enjoy hearing different interpretations of music and who would of thout you make an elevator jazz version of forget about dre. I wouldn't necessariyl buy it, but if were studying I would not mind it playing in the background.




*****

"Rap's a funny business, really. People will pay to experience as "entertainment" what in real life they'd run a mile from: bug-eyed sociopaths threatening cruel and unusual deaths, nouveau riche bores bragging about their income and expensive possessions . . . And let's not forget the underground: paranoid poets who've never met a conspiracy theory they didn't embrace, autodidact crackpots who've glimpsed the secret of the cosmos in a cloud of weedsmoke—the sort of I-be-the-prophet spiel you can get for free if you hang out on the subway long enough." - The Village Voice
