@jelaninedd63 lol... i don't know how informed u r about yourself and your history as a black man living in these times(100AD-2011), but i must say, dis is not a battle of words but a toggle with self! R we commenting on a song's production or correcting grammar? look at wat is happening in trini at present....this is classic opportunities to express our power as a collective or as an individual! my circle has been working on educating, empowering, feeding, and dis is by changing our diet
@jelaninedd63 , eating the correct foods to enable d full potential of d mind! let's start to give solutions rather than immerse ourselves in dis sad reality. u all pronounce urself as artiste but dat in itself has a great responsibility! dis is wat Pure Creativity does; SEE IT STATE IT SOLVE IT, THEN SHARE THE HEALING WITH OTHERS! if d production isnt perfect then d feedback wouldn't b fair to U! im jus trying to help d song reach dat perfection. U know Who I am. HOTEP(PEACE) !!!
And after when all the dust has settled it will still be a good tune with a message that should be shared! This is one of those songs that will outlive generations if the message is heeded....good work Collis!
@ThrowOneStone : I have looked at your videos and listened and can't gather much from what I see/hear . My youth...If you live inna glass house don't trow stones...BADMIND!
@jamdowntnt hmmmm..... My youth.. u have been weighed, measured and found wanting by dat response u gave. read the comments properly then reply appropriately. BADMIND.... I didnt feel dat... I felt Impartial positive vibes emitting and u fail to accept it! WHY? Jamdowntnt, cool down and await the THE ARRIVAL...... of change!
In an attempt to be fair, let me jus say that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a DEAF man to hear. That being said, permit me to ask for an example of what a proper production sounds like. Feel free to list a few (i.e. LOCALLY). In addition to which, let me end by saying, views and opinions expressed by those that seek the best interest of The Artiste are welcomed while those with MALICIOUS intentions and 'bags of stones' should concentrate on using said stones to build his/her OWN HOUSE. Jah Guide!
@jelaninedd63 .. r u reading d comments made by "throwonestone "properly? its very clear wat was said about dis production. Ok, did u listen to the strings? its not in "timing! " the change of time signature wasn't supported correctly. the energy of d vocals was low. dis is not convincing. Ergo, r we going to accept mediocracy as excellence? THINK! it wud improve your productions in d future.
From a production/arrangement perspective, it leaves A LOT to be desired! The producer/arranger obviously didn't REALLY listen to or get down into the vibe & sentiment & expression of this song. Some of the tones, progressions, voicing of chords, texture...are inappropriate and not meshing with the true sentiment. The mixing engineer as well didn't do much to take away from the paper-thin feel of the lead vocal by EQ-ing and adding proper ambiance to it.
The sentiment & concept of this song is gr8, however, I'm not sure if this is a final recording or a demo, bcuz 1st off, the emotion & expression that should be present in the vocal, just isn't there; the line about "looks like our national flag", sounds mumbled, unclear & almost rushed; I had to listen to it about 5 times to recognize what the lyrics were. Sounds like he just sang it ok enough. And it feels as though it's a bit too fast for the things he should be expressing vocally.
i love this song i go sing this i go be diffrent dis year

I hate to have to say it but I have to be honest here...the song concept is great, but the overall production sounds rushed, dry and drab.
