What ya'll think about that Luke Nasty - Might Be track that's startign to get alot of radio play but jacked Anderson .Paak. I can see why the Luke Nasty version is gaining so much attention, it's simpler, although .Paak's version is musically better

Choose Your Weapon (Hiatus Kaiyote) was alright to me, sort of boring actually (as was TPAB), but this here is
I cosign a lot of these d'angelo comps, specifically paak's sound reminds me of a modern take on the r&b/hip hop stuff roy hargrove was doing with d'angelo and others on Hard Groove, his project with the RH factor:
Fans of Malibu should check this whole album out, one of my all time favorites. I got put onto it when a jazz group I was playing in covered this version of "The Joint"
One of my favorite live performances

This right here is one of the troubles that goes along with sampling.
I can see why producers in the 90's didn't wanna drop their sourcesbiters everywhere.

The keys and kick drum on "Room In Here" and Anderson's harmonizing
shyt is just...heat rocks.
Could've done without Game's verse, it wasn't bad but I don't know if it added to much
to the song overall.
"Room In Here", "The Bird", "The Waters", "Heart Don't Stand A Chance" etc.
Just when you think this dude is gonna let up, he throws another haymaker.
Great album.
I think TPAB clearly borrows from The Ummah and that whole Neo-Soul movement but it also
has it's own separate identity. On top of that Anderson is also clearly heavily influenced by Hip-Hop and Neo-Soul.
From sampling records from Bob James' album "One" to using Dilla-esque beat breaks/drum
patterns, hell "Malibu" is pretty much a Neo-Soul album. and it's a well done one at that.
Personally I think "jacking" is putting it wrong because Kendrick much like Anderson is from cali like us.
So to me it's only natural that they'd be influenced by the beat scene on the fresh coast.
And I agree with @GoldenGlove the attitudes on both of these albums run counter to each other.
TPAB is a lot more "heavy" than this album. This album is equally well crafted IMO but the mood is
considerably livelier even though it does have some moody aspects to it.
No, it doesn't.
Anderson .Paak hasn't recorded a single Bebop record.
"For free ?" is what you hear on a Bud Powell or Coltrane record.
Perfect way of putting it. This isn't an album where you generally like it but mainly focus on 1-3 songs. There are 7-9 truly great great tracks on this album, if not more. And they just keep coming.
I also don't get the For Free comparisons. Brehs might want to listen to some jazz.
Heard the first 2 songs posted. My first impression is that this dude is singing like Kendrick. Which I'm not feeling obviously.
The songs aren't terrible. A tad lackluster though.

best track I've heard thus far. Sophomoric but decent writing nonetheless.That's what's hot in the streets. Insecure whiny voices.
No hyperbole, but nikka like James Brown reincarnate.
