sa-ra? who? & the likes-of-comparisons

this time i'm thinking i better cut and paste...then save what i write.. after completing a story of sorts...blogger lost it! bitches!

so theres this buzz about a group of producers..the buzz has been going around for sometime now. pretty much of the summer i should say. who's this buzz concerning??? sa-ra or srcp respectively. three producers fresh out the funk/soul era or vibe.

as of late i've read numerous opinions on these cats and their music. of course the haters come in droves but there seems to be a good folowing of appreciators..i hate using the word fan..it seems to lessen the liking for the artists craft. it sorta mirrors it down to stalkish actually..lol.

i read someone's opinion..said that they weren't so great. they were rip offs of parliament era. hmmm. i think everyone is influenced by something or someone. upon listening to anything sa-ra you'll definitely hear some of their influences...i don't know maybe it's me but i hear more of cameo, sly stone and others. it seems as if anytime an artist creates something soulful yet abstract people wanna lump them in the same cateogory as pfunk.

or this one i love...make unecessary comparisons to outkast. lol. as if to say outkast started some shit. no. they've recycled what was to create what is known now. "everything u did has already been done" thanks lauryn for that. and it's true. as much as i love kast...i am first to say that sa-ra sounds nothing like them. or shouldn't even be compared.

we should all just enjoy music and leave the real critiquing to those who know music.
babies!!! go to bed. pick up the what music is guide for dummies too.
