Damn Melle Mel, this is the equivalent of some immigrant testifying to the greatness of Clef. The Police have nostalgic value for sure, but little talent, and nearly every one of their popular songs is watered down derivative doo doo. Not to mention formulaic and simple. Dim lyrics pretending to contain depth (Lolita references and all that) with repetitive choruses. Every song is the same song. Some faux reggae riff with an accessible tv commercial chorus designed to stick in your head:
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing... Or
sending out an SOS, sending out an SOS, sending out an SOS or
don't stand, don't stand, don't stand so close to me etc.
This is marginal pop cheese. And I enjoy it for what it is. But if this is dope to you, don't be mad at CACs who fukk with Fugees, Em's singles, and Skeelo.
