1/18/2006 - Time Travelin' (a Tribute to Fela)
Song: Time Travelin' (a Tribute to Fela)
Artist: Common
Why this song is the current jam: This one takes a little bit to get going, but once it does, the rhythm is amazing and Common, a rapper who is really worth listening to, does his thing. This was produced by the illustrious ?uestlove, who seriously, you should know about. I am a fella who cares about the drums and rhythm in a song, but he makes me feel like I have never really paid attention to the drums in a song until I heard his music. There is such a character to the sounds he comes up with. And Common is spitting some knowledge with some really amazing meter, switching it up. This has the same sort of depth and subtlety that D’Angelo’s Voodoo album had (which makes sense as they are fairly contemporary). I want to see more of ?uestlove producing and taking the helm of some more projects of these talented artists. The things that come out of it are amazing. Listen to the RHYTHM!
