New song just came out.

Dope.

Can't tell me the R ain't mail this one from the joint, lol.

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

I can’t believe some people don’t recognize some of these samples. Sorry that’s the old head in me coming out and I’m only 30

It’s like some samples I recognize but others I wouldn’t know about until I hear a very particular part of the original song and be like “Ohhh shyt!!! So that’s where *whatever rap artist or R&B singer* got this song from I’m only 28 myself breh and practically an Old Soul, I just love discovering and rediscovering these classics and looking at them in a totally different light after they’ve got sampled thousands of times shyt’s an art in and of itself.

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

The best Verzuz to date. It felt like a concert. I liked the venue they had going.

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

black americans really run music

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Curtis Mayfield too, the list is infinite

that axe, the drums and the sax are those sleeper instruments where folks dont realize how many brothers (and sisters) got down with it

Big facts breh. My most favorite singer for this generation is HER and when I saw a recording of her playing piano keys and going HAM on an axe on stage live a couple of years ago, I was

Instrumentalism and musicality gotta become commonplace in Black music again man, that shyt is just too powerful and beautiful and to continuously neglect.

Man this was Black Excellence last night and I wish I grew up in that era of music. When Steve was talking about how if the clubs played 4 upbeat songs they would pull up on the Dj on some WTF you doing shyt. My generation was robbed of the slow dancing in the club only time you heared a slow joint was when they was getting nikkaz out of the club. But it was a joy watching this especially with my parents mom and pops were going off last night. D nice had a fire set on intermission too running through all them old school joints. I loved how he started with Queen Penn Party ain't a Party right after Earth Wind and fire On your face

shyt hit different. Only winners of this was the Black Community to witness to celebrate both these legendary groups. Salute to Ronald Isley for looking like a Cold Pimp from the North Pole.
