Playaz from the good old dayz, cos people playing music back in those dayz have that certain pulse to it, that feelin', have that live entente added to it as opposed to alot of music today, which is like kind of more mechanic & it doesn't have much of a soul to it (you know what i'm sayin'). So when you hear something like that, you know. Okay, that's a live band/ orchestre, they got a drummer in there, he's kickin' these rhythms doing those drum-rolls & the bass man is going off & you hear these hard hitz from the horn section.
