Giving words a pulse...
All the First Ladies of Gospel Music and Reverend Nicks (The Unforgettable Years). Classic & contemporary Hip Hop. Classical Beethoven, Debussy & Mozart. When it comes to opera, Ana Moffo sings the depths of sadness like nobody else; she makes you happy to be sad. Can't forget classic rock like Paul Davis & Ace and classic soul like the Delfonics & The Whispers - or the jazz brilliance of Freddie Hubbard & Miles Davis. Reggae artists like Black Uhuru, Yellow Man & Dennis Brown appeal to me with Sizzla's "Solid As A Rock" among the best, as he verbalizes what all good men (and women) know, which is that you can't keep them down.Just because I shoot the ball one way, doesn't mean you know my game. There's more to it than the scoreBlack Ceasar; all the God Fathers; Kung Fu Fliks personify force, speed and honor - I appreciate that; 1950s throwbacks too; Marlon Brando was fine as shit when he was young mmmmmmmmm.Good Times, The Jeffersons, Cold Case & Forensic Files, Judge Judy, Bad Girls and Football.Pink Magazine, Emmanuel Swedenborg's "Heaven & Hell", Patti Labelle's "Patti's Pearls" and "Negro Poetry"- a beautiful compilation of African American poetry dating back 400 years. Thank you Marcel, for the "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama.
My first Love is classic Hip-Hop. It signifies the last time urban music was alive and although its famous for sampling music, earlier artists complimented the sound they sampled unlike artists today (for the exception of the late, great J-Dilla). I also love classical Beethovan, Debussy & Mozart. When it comes to opera, Ana Moffo sings the depths of sadness like nobody else...she makes you happy to be sad. Can't forget classic rock like Paul Davis & Ace and classic soul like the Delfonics & The Whispers-or the jazz brilliance of Freddie Hubbard & Miles Davis. Reggae artists like Black Uhuru, Yellow Man & Dennis Brown appeal to me with Sizzla's "Solid As A Rock" among the best, as he verbalizes what all good men (and women) know, which is that you can't keep them down.
Kung Fu Fliks personify force, speed and honor. I appreciate that.
Good Times & The Jeffersons. Some reality tv-did y'all see the "I Love New York" finale? If that's not chickens coming home to roost, I don't know what is. Love Judge Judy, Forensic & Cold Case Files and Football.
If I had to pick favorites, they'd be Emmanuel Swedenborg's "Heaven & Hell", Patti Labelle's "Patti's Pearls" and "Negro Poetry"- a beautiful compilation of African American poetry dating back 400 years. I do want to read, "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama.
