Me'Shell NdegéOcello - Pop Life (LIVE @ Sunset Junction 2010) Los Angeles

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.

Meshell Ndegeocello :)

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

[fatbackfunk]

@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.
