THIS groove is unstoppable. Timeless I might even say. You don’t even think about song structure when a beat works this well. HOWEVER they’re doing all kinds of tiny little embellishments that you hardly notice - but if they were gone these 4 minutes wouldn’t go by so quick like it does…
I want that ATLIEN’s sweatshirt, but I’m not from ATL. Is that OK? Are we all branded by our hometown? Or the sports teams from the nearest city? I will always rock a White Sox hat before I even touch a Yankees hat… Are those still “brands” or have they been around too long? Do you think today’s hip hop makes too many cultural references to NOW? Would it betray the groove if this song was about some philosophical/emotional conflict in Big Boi’s brain instead of just getting down and having the party?
I saw Big Boi on Martha Stewart recently wearing the same sweatshirt. So dope. They made lobster together.
BTW old ALBUMS by a band called Skeletons are on iTunes now: Here and Here.
With love and apathy,
