Man, you guys need to listen to more hip hop/soul. Playing behind the beat like that, that's where that deep pocket is, man. That's what makes it groove so nasty. Big ups to @fatbackfunk on the Voodoo recommendation - that's the real shit. Check it out and you'll understand.
@geoffslaboot Nah.. he(Mark Kelly/Bass) is most definitely in the pocket.. He's just playing waaaay behind the beat which I happen to love, but hey to each his own. Check out the grooves on D'Angelo's Voodoo same kind of feel, same with most of Meshell's bass lines.. it's just a very particular type of feel, vibe, approach..Just pulling the time way behind the beat to the point of almost being exaggerated.. In other words it's what they call GREASE!
@fatbackfunk After further listening I have to recant my statement. Not knocking Me'shell cause she's overall great but there were a few measures where they're out of sync including Me'shell. Check 2:19 the drummer and bassist.
@citywidelawns and she is behind the bass. or the bass is behind the drums. it is very strange. such a shame. there is sthg wrong bt. bass drums and voc

I like Meshell but her band was off tempo especially the bassist. Good song bad rendition!
