about
I always thought that this beat was Jihad at his most thoughtful. The filtered bassline just moves and I can see Jihad right now, white coofie on... waving his hands to the bassline like an orchestra conductor.
Anybody that works with Jihad knows how excited he gets about his music. Actually, about anything he's interested in. 5 minute meetings have turned into 5 hour conversations with that brotha. Like I said before... we just clicked. Working with him is always a joy.
During this song, I always imagine myself sitting on a set of steps surrounded by Muppets, all attentively listening to these stories. Nodding emphatically with the highs and "awwwwwing" sweetly with the darker revelations. With that in mind, it's probably pretty easy to see where the technique for the chorus came from.
