That was done about people with also hammers disease that were almost unable to communicate they were basically catatonic they were not moving they were looked like they were in the last stages of their life no reaction no output no signs of life other than breathing and being kind of in this catatonic state and they decided to try to add music to their lives and music from the period of their childhood and they put a walkman on some of these. Older men and women and you immediately saw them come to life you know merely saw a smile come to their face they would sing the songs and move and dance and it was not gradual it was immediate when the music came in and that's the power of music yeah. I feel that I mean is yeah I could tell you for me I mean I kind of the example to that I mean I've been you know I could be in the rear end of that way and a bad way. Down some bird and just think just. A song that can just hit me right feeling art I can get me out of that right that. You know music is something that is there a pyrrhic and I tell you. Listening to a very a fart is you know from you and I you know when it comes to music I was listening to a song. By Karen Clarke shield from the Clark Sisters. Came out. Some years ago and one of the songs was Jesus is a love song. Just the way she sung it was it just hit home and I was like wow. And just like I mean I would say from everything from the temple of the song to her energy and how she sung her delivery to sink the sizers I mean she it was just like she was living those words and I can feel it and it hit home for me yeah and again that's the power of music and as you say everything goes well you have the religious music right yeah and the power of that music when people like Ray Charles put secular things to the religious answer and it was so powerful it was such a shift from what had been going on yeah and you know people were basically they were they were mad at Ray Charles they were Yeah you know definitely they were calling for his downfall because he was you know singing the devil's music etc but it's music that even without lyrics would be powerful but the lyrics could be changed or changed and whatever the message you're trying to convey can be added over the instrumentation and it reaches out and takes you exactly where the music wants you to go if you look at. Concerts by you name it the number of any bands doesn't matter who it is from around the world you look at a good example is earth wind fire when they did a show in Rio Yeah you know you got a 1000 people that don't speak English Yeah but they know the lyrics about you know every single day Rick to the song Yeah and you know that's just shows how music can transcend through any and every genre of people that are out there yeah and it just felt that bands are artists like that they're able to. Put it in a box Yeah and which is beautiful and again I think even now with artists like the way home grows Terrence Martin's artists that are around while it's Romy's in the Robert Glasper years they're able to. I feel transcendent through. Number of people in different cultures and able to suppress there are to everyone Yeah and you know and you look at you know speaking just culturally you look at instruments that are well within certain other cultures and you look at say the way that the guitar in the Mississippi Delta was able to be utilized by our people in the delta with the Delta Blues and I think come up with eventually the electric blues as it were navigated throughout the river and then rock and roll and that's what came from the guitar in America but then you look at the same exact instrument the same exact instrument in Spain for example and then you have flamenco it's a completely different scale because clearly different time pattern a completely different style but it's brilliance you know and you have one person taking one thing and making a completely different sound out of it and then you have another group of people taking another different. Say misspent making a completely different sound out of it and you can just take music wherever you see fit to go and that's the nice thing about all these artists that are afforded the opportunity to create on their own because they're allowed to innovate and take music to new places and you know. It's nice there's a lot of music that we talk about time that's great and you know there's some stuff that's new that's really good and kind of refreshing Yeah but I think it's interesting to see that there hasn't been a true shift in music like there has been say when. Jazz and Blues were big in the twenty's and thirty's and they kind of gave way to a different sound in the forty's and then you had you had in the forty's rock'n'roll fifty's rock N roll started start and doo wop era started and that grew into a soul sound and somewhat of a funk sound and that grew into a disco sound etc on and on there's always been every 101520 years a major shift in music and I think I don't know if we're do or if it's happening and it's just not being allowed to permeate the airwaves or reach the masses on a grand scale but you know music is it's an ever evolving thing and I think it's happening and curious what's the next what do you what do you think when you think taken place I mean you know I think now I think the landscape of music I think just as far as. Nowadays I mean you have many different ways of getting your music right and so. I see that you still have good music out there is still great music out there you just have to get it in receive it in the way and. A lot of times you might have to just dig a little bit forward as I mentioned number of times. For me that's how I discovered the Anderson Pags in the B.J. She beat a B.J. The Chicago kid and artists like Terrance Martin and so on and so forth I've learned about them basically just by word of mouth are just by going through a spot a far or You Tube if you will and in just like oh I say there's this artist let me check this artist out and so a lot of times are it could be you know a combination of the radio that and most 2 sources so yeah so I still feel like there's still good music out there it's just you just have to go back to getting it in another way yeah I mean that's true and I don't think there's any doubt there's good music out to Dish great music out there but I guess I'm speaking more in terms of actual shift where the mainstream music you know then and me if you think about it you and I started listening to hip hop you know probably all our life's and you know our became and I don't want to say it's gone but as we know it with groups and individual ballad love singers it is not around the same capacity as it was but you know hip hop as Ben says in $79.00 we're talking almost you know for years and if you think about you know with the last poet for sure for sure 100 percent but I'm thinking just on the facet of you know being able to reach the masses I guess you know but 40 years is a long time yet it is you know if you think from 7980 tell now versus if you think from 8940 to go much music change from 194-1980 you know you were in the forty's you have been you know. JORDAN And you know you had Louis Armstrong and you're on the tail end of the artist they were big in the twenty's Yeah thirty's like. Cab Calloway except for yeah and that gave way to you know all the great bands you know you had the platters he had the Drifters you know the moon glows all those people that were out in the fifty's and sixty's and then of course the sixty's he you know countless James Brown's encouraged Mayfield's and Teddy penny grasses and Harold Melvin and and the list is on and on and on but if you look how much music changed every 10 or 15 years or so now I think we're stuck in a and perhaps a mainstream creative out that kind of rut because there isn't that same shift and people are more trying to copy the past as opposed to create innovate and do something new in the. New listen to let's talk music on 94 point one F.M. Katy of fame when I was D. Minor with Thomas J. Speaking about music that's our favorite topic let's talk music every Sunday night from 8 to 9 and times service Sir Thomas J. Was going to some music right you know I've been kind of jammin this it's not it's you know it's a fairly recent too but over over the last weekend I was hanging out with some fellows some of our boys from high school and seen while we were just kind of cool now put some nice to chill out on on the air so I'm going to go ahead and run this by you guys here we'll talk about it when we come back this is 94 point one F.M. K P.F.A. Let's talk music I'm Thomas J. With the minor cold. Who years after they. Go and add a little bit and smooth on a lighter note 94 point one F.M. P.F.A. a Thomas J. . Are you listening to Les Tarr music and we are just showing a little love to the music this in our life's past present and future are I would stick by that the mind of the love the never heard of before so that was a surprise for me I really enjoyed. It like I did toes maybe trying. There's so much music that is shared between yourself and myself and I'm sure the listeners and their friends whatever it's always good to hear some and. I was reminded of that by kicking over my boys as I said over the last week him but at the same time it's always good when you have a song introduced to you and it reaches out and grabs you and when I was younger that happened all the time and you know maybe I'm getting older a little bit more maybe now honoree I don't know maybe a little maybe a little grumpy and I am I my is my days get longer but the point being. You know every now and then there's some reaches out and grabs me right into the mood in the zone where I want to be so to try to make that happen for everyone and hey I love music that's that's the thing though I mean I think you know as we continue to grow and get older you know we always have to just you know have a look and have a look out on what's happening you know because it's obviously a lot of good music out there as you mentioned earlier it's great music and we said to just dig deep and again there's music out there that just hit your own goodness and I tell you and album that just came out recently from common let love there's some really good music on that album it's about 11 songs deep He's got a song in there with Jill Scott that I really really appreciate you know but it's coming coming you know he's known to come out with quality music calm since coming rock the shore common is one of the dopers to do it and you know we talk about common rather frequently because he is such a talented artist that. I think he was complimented by finally getting the perfect mix with Kanye on there and I think that was his best album. Up to date however this new album holds a lot of promise too so yeah I hope that it as we settle in and start to get divided them then. I really hope it exceeds because I'm always for new music that brings it to a whole other level so our you know I can't wait Well that's one thing I think about common sense artists like him and artists like. They're always known to push the envelope especially outcasts they've always been known to go the extra mile if you will need sickly and you heard that a lot especially were coming you know in a lot of the stuff that he did. From his 1st album from when he just you know kept to come in and you know when he did a letter circus you know to a lot of people who didn't get that album it was for lack of a better word noise Yeah. You know getting with different producers like the will I am sort of J. Dilla sort of Kanye to really get him in the pocket of what. He was trying to do in his direction and his whole scope of what he's trying to do musically is you know it was good that he had people like that they were able to get it out of them yet to see his vision you know absolutely and with his new album Let love again I just you know he's worked with the Robert Glasper camp and going to some songs from that he's got a song with which else guy that I that I definitely definitely liking and I'm going to down a little bit but yeah I definitely got to say man just appreciative just music Yeah well yeah you know it's good to see people still doing it and I'm still waiting because. Rumors have been floating around you know we have common coming out with now but we have different people. Stalwarts coming out with albums Yeah there is an album that I've been waiting on and I hope it comes out soon they're talking about doing Black Star part 2 most of this album on the way and they've been talking about it for quite some time and I'm wait because when that drops forget about it. You know I'd say that the combination of those 2 epic. I gotta tell you though I was for me it was the other way around I got here to tell live with high tech OK so I got here to the reflections out that was after most rain so then the blast Yeah and so I got the blast after reflection saw so I was just like then oh my goodness yeah the blast was my jam Yeah yeah that was that was that was one of those tricky ones. Where the album version was different than the video and the video version of the both but the video version had an extra verse on it Good luck finding that yeah exactly it took me about 10 years to find. Our version before. So it was just it was all backwards for me yeah and you know keeping 105. The deal is they had that. Sample was back when cassettes were still out there that sample or and it had a couple full songs but the blasted only go after the song on the album and that's the one you find everywhere and always those that promo and it's like man if you know how long that I took to find the video version it took forever but anyway the point is the end of his own right is a dope MC And of course we know about most def aka Yaseen Bay and when they get together and do an album together it is you for your magic so I hope that album comes out soon I hope it lives up to the hype because you know what just being a little bit. I don't I say. Skeptical as of late with pop culture you know there's a lot going on I know it's not music but the problem of music is going to come from it you've got things that are coming back from back in the day that could be great but could also be monstrosities that they need to leave alone and I'm thinking specifically about you know music is big for me but we got bad boys for life is coming out and. You know it's been a while yes been a while and you know I even would say to go back to 2005 when I came out with 42 I was like OK you know even though there are 2014 out of 5 even that could've gone either way it was like man since 96 in 2004 and then our We're talking about 2001000 I don't know it's kind of hard. You know it would have been nice if they would have done it closer in years yeah you know as opposed to like. Almost a day to a dead gay. But you know it be good to just see you know what will and Martin got in store and you know they got they got good chemistry I would like to see them do more together. Which you know you know it is what it is yeah you're right and the thing is more I guess my point is more so that. Sometimes you can remember something. As perfection because of where you were in life and what your experiences were and then you know you get the next chapter and whether it's your growth or your life as reared in a different path it's just not the same so I hope that's not the case with that movie and I really hope it's not the case with any of these albums going to come now yeah and these great artist that you know have already cemented themselves and legacies and annals of history here but you speak about comedians though I just want to also you know just in thoughts and prayers out to get in the heart was in the horrific acts and yeah some days ago it was said he wasn't driving but they said it was his car it went off the side of the road and he suffered severe back injury. You know he's you know I know you had surgery but it's you know he still not out the woods you never really you know the words I mean tell you fully recovered so you know he does all right. It's a cold day in truly it is he just tuning in listening to let's talk music on 94 point one F.M. . Talk music every Sunday night from 8 to 9 met at 9 o'clock 19 and then we have Motown on Mondays. He's. In charge of everybody yeah that's that's our crew rate their Sunday block but I was going to some music man I would just go ahead and most of our listeners probably have not heard it yet and I am just getting wind of it and I have been just trying to get into it and you mention common sense earlier so I'll let you pick the song My brother indeed coming show me that you love feature in jail Scott right 94 point one F.M. K P.F.A. Let's talk music. Thomas J. Yes or keep a close. They See. People. 94 point one Cain P F A decision less talk music in its new music by common Show me that you love feature in jails got off the let Love album jazz it jazz it jazz it yeah as a jazz you often come any you want a little jazz you know on this particular LP year you know all that jazz and hip hop have always been infused so wrong with that in days yeah. It's really cool when. The 2 worlds are 3 worlds come together in a mash eloquently you know. And you know it's always good when you have someone someone meaning producer that's able to mash those generals Well hip hop to R. And B. Come together to a jazz to a R. And B. It's able to come in in able to mesh well so I was good yeah and it's nice to hear pop over instrumentation you know I mean I love it Bob and off forms but there instrumentation always gonna makes it nice and stand out on its own little bit there I tell you for me Thomas. Like you mentioned earlier the tele Callie's in the most. And the comments they were always I felt able to. Mesh the 2 worlds Yeah and you know they brought jazz out there but I mean you could tell that they listen to what they're familiar they have to it's not just something they're sampling and you know they really bring em there's a lot of you know I don't know why but the 1st thing comes to mind is get by with. Them quietly but I like the remakes for Jay Z. But of course Nina Simone. On the track samples on the track but you know they really know what they're doing and they try to include the elements in the music as opposed to makes it into the music and force the far side I would say is another group that they don't really get a lot of accolades but I would say they were I felt very musical in their creation and B.'s ride on the far side everyone was passing me by but your mama got to Glenside. Yeah yeah your mom I got a peg leg with the kickstand I'm. The world famous Your mama going to Africa with a chance truck a. Say was that. Man passed me by was great but yes on right there man we had we were kind of for days with me yeah my. Office. At a fish I love that song like. Always I just you know those guys always felt like they were just so well to get they were they worked so well together fat lives to. Imani Brown and slinky Trey they just they work so well together and you know they were they were great on their own but they were nothing. Like they were together yeah yeah I mean that was that's a classic right and that beat sampling Quincy Jones. Shout out to Jason and that 1st song was so so so beautiful Yeah well that's great when you have beats that were dope and lyrics Universidad up over so that was like the beat was just icing on the cake because it was so cold and then it came through and just spit some nasty so shout out to those who thought of the force on yeah indeed those 1st 2 albums for me just so. But I. I have to say though man I mean like listening to like Angela more I would love to get to thoughts on that though Jerry like you know will take on kids a lot more musically you know Kendrick Lamar star no kids are going my. You know he surprised me pleasantly You know. He still straddles the line for me but the Manc is fit for show and you know you hear some of the stuff as it goes he comes up. You know clearly intelligent wordplay and clearly you know and in his songs. You know he's he's got some good stuff I'm not going to go as far as things don't just like Andre 3000 not like that but for for the most part you know leading the charge at a new school I think is right up there top top 5 for the new school charts for show in day yeah I got to tell you I was said to him like you mentioned when he was going by Katie so now we're talking like Oh wait oh no. So I had a cousin that lived down in the Long Beach area so he was always feeding me a lot of that and so I was hitting him here to the terrace Mars and Jay rocks and so on and so forth so I always liked what they were doing that their movement and correct was I think nurturing musically and so it was good just to have a breath of fresh air coming from the L.A. Area and. Yeah I had to say I really enjoy him but I don't know with Kendrick. You know I wonder could he have survived in the early 2000 are even in the ninety's any part of the ninety's and I don't know I mean honestly that would be a hard one because the playing field was so competitive that that's on that's what I think you know whatever you do if you're around. Top quality you know if you're constantly working out with the top quality runners you know you're going to sink or swim if used if you swim you're going to be a fast runner you know if you are hanging around the chefs at all times you unless you're just not paying attention you're going to learn how to cook something you know so back in those days when the bar was set so high if you could be at the table and you know use that inspiration it was going to make you better. You know if you're. You know if you're talented and a billet to perform is there then that will pull the best Al yank agree but you know if you're not forced to do that sometimes sometimes the best doesn't always come out so I'm not speaking specifically but I do think that there are some rappers out there even ones that you know you may hear me complaining about of being grumpy about because you know I'm going to do but I think someone could probably really spit but they get away with you know being a B. C. Mother Goose Dr Seuss you know and I guess we made about someone like a future because future the people don't know future started with organized noise and outcast and he had a completely different style and they called him future because he was the future and you know these are we're talking outcast we're talking good now we're talking organized noise this is how people that I respect greatly say that he had that down to go there and then you know when he got on me he kind of with his own way and he'd to be. aunt and this you know so i don't know ma'am i mean year i hate to sound like the thought of the ciba she would i guess i guess is even to granted yeah as a not why i'm today no i get it net i mean is just going to do this you know that's what frustrates me about him because light you've had the you had to big give shoes had to sleep be brown's you had like you mention organize noise collectively they were there so i'm no i know a lot of that had to rub off on you now i will i the as your thoughts on there so nick human eyes has announced a she's retiring good bar you've heard that song by what was his name oh yeah rate turn thing and the well jack and don't you come me on be completely disrespectful but yeah it makes no difference to me because there is not one they came to knowledge album down our own there's not one knee him a not a song around now who asked fire yeah and it just is what it is if you'd like to humanize good for you kudo's knows no listening to it enjoy l.b. Have a wonderful wonderful time does wasn't for me and i i kind of feel like oh who was a just said there was a j.d. That said a who so they asked somebody it'll come to me but they asked him what he thought about the new generation a rappers and he basically are female rapper specific me and he was talking my carty be an they came in now if you trade to sterling on yeah yeah and at her as well and he was lying i don't because you know basic of they're all just strippers yeah trying to wrap and you know cell and music through doe beats and and strippers your perspex stories yeah and i have to agree with them i mean i really going to have pop they came out before you the get the mc lights you look at the ladybugs he look at the hills you know look at the bomb a d. As look at each she gets no credit diva gangs to buoy look at at all the skills that were there from care is away by right yeah i missed melodies melanie you know you look at how the ve had live be she's another want even you could go guy are gangs did i say gangs to boob oh well was a against mr marvelous us from up thruway a little bit and even even oh ma'am i'm blanking down on the A man's wife's name right now but the one that was on looked at a brain. But alleges why oh yeah yeah let's his wife but point being these are women that worse were going die art and they were they weren't trying to use their there to sell sex basically they were spit in China to be at the table and you know what they were there to some for their spin I mean some of these verses that any one of these women that I just mentioned spit can hold a candle or any other verse Yeah but now you look at the thing. You know the female empowerment has become We're going to sell sex and we're going to use sex to sell the verses I mean I mean yeah you could you could you could home over Adobe to somebody like you but come on man we got to have some substance somehow you know not totally agree with that oh I totally agree with that because like I feel like in a lot of ways like if you've been nice to me like I think you know she has talent and I think a lot of it is showcased on our mix tapes but then these albums come out it's just like a totally something different in she's another one that I always wonder which she has survived in the end that playing field in the ninety's if you will and I think sometimes that Barbie style. You know she did she didn't go that way you know OK interesting because she was in the group which a boy from powerful forces and yeah and she was running around with them right and so was she was doing that they were spinning Yeah they were going die you see that and that's the thing though. And that goes back to my point with Nicki is like she actually has talent she can tell a town at least she can get down with you but see I like artists like remark like remark when she came out with big corn and them my you know like she can't she's another one I think she can spit. In a lot of ways reminds me of a lot of the female artists of yes. The year that the lights and easing are you not the east but the lights in you know kind of going back today like she's another one who I feel can read I think making trade to star you and she can rap I think she's good but I just think like you get her out of that stripping mode I think she actually delivered I've actually seen her freestyle she actually get busy but it's just sad that they that they're able to get away with that kind of content you know it should be a balance Yeah I mean yeah you you might have you know one or 2 songs yeah about that but if that's all you know about not your whole. Package you know thank you Carrie you might be yesterday's news after a while and so I think that's the thing if you're able to you know be a chameleon and be a little bit more diverse musically then you know you might have something going for yourself yeah perhaps I mean but you know the whole deal if you. You are guess what you are yeah and if you choose to be that person that wants to go into. Into who she became when you know because even when she 1st started with Young Money she was animatedly goofy like then I you know no no no no not at all you know because she was the I mean she was what I heard stars. Name funny can be those stars when she was with the full force of the ball they were loose on yeah yeah I mean they were spirit men like she would you could definitely you know say she can't rap yet but you know that's like Teddy Pendergrass been able to sing as the opposite as song on take a song fill in the blank you know hundreds of different songs and instead he's saying and you know A.B.C. The E G on the on the set Yeah but it out I mean you know he could probably sing the heck out of the alphabet that don't mean that the 7 song for his town right. No you're absolutely right yeah absolutely right about that those like I just look at it like. Yeah I just think the playing field musically right now was. Unbalanced if you will. Where it's like the substance is not there you have a lot of these microwave parties where it's just you know sear in powder Yes so it has to be some kind of substance within you know and yeah yeah yeah definitely. I hear you saying I agree with a lot of what you're saying well sorry the show turned into a man a little bit. So they may not go you know like songs which you mad about Mad about that's what I'm mad about let's take it back to a better vibe because.
