i cant keep up with all the music these days ... i follow wale because he's from DC but that about it.
My basketball team, the wizards, have taken on this nickname #DeathRowDC and each player on the roster is a different member ... one person is snoop, one person is shug etc.
But these guys were in kindergarten when that music originally came out.
In a way i think its cool because they recognize the importance of the music and want to pay respect to it ?
however, i also feel like you have to understand what was taking place in the country at the time to be able to appreciate what the music was trying to communicate.
Some great drumming from Phil Collins and Bill Bruford...
awesome song
I love Bill Bruford but think Chester Thompson is on the same level
Bruford is the man....and Thompson's work w/ Zappa, & Weather Report is awesome too.
