It is a good track, but the beat is inspired by Bob George, and is not as good a track. It is still a piece of work I would have been proud to have come up with, but the influence is clear.

I never thought of Bob George as humorous. It’s actually a favorite of mine. The guitar soloing is an essential part of the story & I wish it was more pronounced in the mix. Any not even close on the comparison & I’m a Clipse fan.

I think "Grindin'" has more in common with "Roxanne, Roxanne" than Prince, IMHO. It's hip hop.

So it's Old School Hip Hop, so lazy it only has a garade door slammin' and a Garageband preset kick with the compressor turned to 11 to stand for. Big deal.
Odorless, and Rick Rubin was kickin' out this kind of sound, and even meanier ones, on the Beastie Boys first album.
I'll play my N.W.A. card and I'm outta here.
Whether this bland non-moment has a reference to Bob (ain't that a bitch), I leave to you.


Incidentally, garage-sounding drum machines are so dated, cf. the tom rolls of "Slave".

yeah, Bob George-inspired. But otherwise, made in 5 minutes, i guess. There's nothing here...

I'm not going to listen to that and I will say that unless the track has a reference to a reddish-brown wig, then to invoke the masterpiece that is "Bob George" would be a travesty.

Nothing is dated if you use it artfully.

I don't hear it.

And I'm really sorry I listened to any of that. disbelief

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Precisely my point.

I'm glad Pharrell warned us, though. What a life-changing experience.
