In the final installment of my talk with Mr. Thompson I threw in some Twitter questions as Illadelph’s finest’s super mane got a touch up. A touchy subject was brought up when I mentioned Scott Storch. I had no recollection that Storch used a Roots track to make “Lighter’s Up” for his then girlfriend Lil Kim without permission. As you’ll soon see, the usually jovial music nerd is a grudge holder. I love it. Ha!
After the jump, lighters… up!
What strength this artist has! You can feel the balance, and in the music that surrounds you, you can't help but hear the rhythm of the voice calling you. I like it because it represents the style I listened to a few years ago, but faster and more enveloping. The artist tries to communicate her moods and her desire to wake up from this nightmare life she's living.
