Sounds of Blackness - Optimistic

[Mr210]

Love this song

 

[nubianqueenbee]

Just good music! Uplifting and positive.

 

[R-Typ3]

You right. Genius in the production to fit easily on the radio in between some R&B or Hip Hop tracks, and the listener wouldn't stop jamming.....yet the content was pure positivity and spiritual uplifting...chess not checkers



Don't forget "Hold On"

Roger Troutman on the talkbox ad libs

 

[LoMax30]

Such a big tune from when I was a yuteMight have to put this into rotation when things get rough instead of listening to Kid Cudi

[The M.I.C.]

It's starting to come back

Nah, they ain't gonna let that era of positive black imagery and sound EVER come back to how it was in the late 80's eighties to mid 90's, at least not in the mainstream.

The consciousness in the music was actually translating into another movement back then..that's when gangsta rap finally got it's big push on mainstream level. @PhonZhi

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Y'all know who produced this right?
