That supercut of four-counts at the end left me with my mouth open. How did I never notice that before?! Great vid as always that sent me away with ten albums I needed to listen to, some for the first time, some for the first time in 20 years... Also, I bet it's just a weird coincidence, but the scansion of "Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder" at 8:34 is a fun echo of Black Star's Children's Story ("He jacked another and another..."). Maybe floating around in your unconscious somewhere?

2024-10-21 01:25:55 +0000 UTCAnybody checkout his new movie yet? I caught it this weekend and highly recommend it. There was a lot to learn about his early childhood in Virginia Beach and some of the reason for the relative creative slumps in the early to mid 2010's. Plus his wife and parents share stories for perhaps the first time publicly.

2024-10-14 19:18:45 +0000 UTCHow about point to Steteolab’s Dots and Loops? Or the fact he brought a very RnB element into hiphop, bridges that introduce borrowed chords to add harmonic complexity to the music. Maybe also his use of chromatic movement and extended chord voicings.

2024-10-11 17:07:51 +0000 UTCCheck out the Stevie Wonder record "Never In Your Sun" on his In Squared Circle album. It's like the Neptunes went back in time & sat in on that studio session.

2024-10-11 15:59:54 +0000 UTCI read somewhere that The Neptunes produced 43% of all music on US radio in 2003. What a legacy!
