Eric burden used to be the singer but dude left after a sec

IDK their history....I figured it was cholo stoner music....boi was I wrong....they from out there?

Legendary band to me.

“…the band's goal was to spread a message of brotherhood and harmony, using instruments and voices to speak out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, and promote hope and the spirit of brotherhood.”

 

[Doobie Doo]

They had a run for sure

That's my theme when shyt goes left in life

People do the same shyt to Earth, Wind, and Fire lol. People think it’s empty cookout music but miss out on the lyrics and other songs on the albums.

EWF songs, outside of the singles, were all about Afrocentricity, Black empowerment, loving other black people, Pan-Africanism, group preservation, dealing with depression/stress, mysticism, natural healing, meditation, all kinds of shyt. All everybody remembers is the “Ba-Dee-ya’s” and “Way-ohhs”. War is the same way, people just recall the chorus. A lot of music from that time is super deep, catchy, and relatable, in all the best ways.

Damn guess I got some digging to do because you described me to a tee with both groups

I had to double take because I thought I saw Badlands Chuggs on the left.
