Muhsinah - Construction

[spinceara]

interesting

[JustJella]

WOWWWW! I'm in love with this sound!

[djeagleman]

this shit made me cry!!! man i love hip hop. so refreshing!!!

[beeeeeeep]

where can i find the lyrics to this song?

[RealHipHopJ1]

love her. just smile and listen to this.

[kub4saki]

love her smile! :)

[citykids]

DC's own Georgia Anne Muldrow! :)  Seriously though, I love them both for their similarities and their differences!

[gideonsuitebread]

5 people need to be demolished then rebuilt from the head down! Construction.

[muzikbeast]

I think i listen to this song every 3 weeks.

[DLB1906wordpress]

luv this melody. please check out the blog. M. has such a pleasant voice.

[CDCANDIES]

Awww, Muhsinah!! :( Anybody know how Dr King 'answered '' or finished that? Or is that the ''point?!

[striderkage]

No autotune, no dudes yellin "Ay" in the backdrop, no video hoes, no fake tits and makeup. Just a real girl singing with her real voice with real talent.

This is real music. Those 5 dudes who disliked this needs to stop crankin dat Soulja Boy, and take notes.

[Kewlkiddieluv]

I used to try to sign the words and I would stop at Construction and Flip Out!!

[e3wak22]

LOW BUDGET CREW!!!



[DreSoul]

great song..I'm hooked.

[beautifulopusoflove]

its aight. that sample has been better utilized...

[TVybe]

Quality!!

[gingaguy]

Big ups to an unsung legend, poet, activist and so much more...Margaret Danner

[cutieerica]

man the way the beat rides at the end.....timeless. I love you Muhsinah DC represent!

[illustriousimagery]

1st of all... this is a banging tune, the kind of ish I've been waiting for.... and not to be negative, but if anybody knows about Georgia Anne Muldrow... Muhsinah sound's exactly the same, from vocal arrangement all the way down to the beats. Anyway... this is a good tune, and hope to hear more.

Peace

[cukistcrispeque]

@illustriousimagery Yeah they're similar, but Muhsinah's more of an alto singer while Georgia has more of a second soprano range. You can tell Muhsinah's influences probably also include some hip-hop and rap whereas Georgia seems to be more heavily gospel and 70s/80s r&b influenced. I could be wrong, but that's what separates them to me. But yes - I do see where you would get that idea overall.

[neehiii]

@illustriousimagery - funny, when i 1st herd Musin, i thought the exact same thing - thought it was Georgia! Go figure. all good though, the sound is love...

[Spankeedoodle]

beyonce gets nominated for 10 Grammies!!! NEVER IN A MILLION MOONS COULD SHE EVER PRODUCE SUCH music business has no respect for MUSIC!

[1972lita]

what are the differences in daybreak 2.0 and oscillations?

[Garbonzo09]

Heres one female artists i have mad respect for, she always delivers with an attitude of belief and inspiration.

[bluedoc4888]

i can already tell this song is gonna be stuck in my head

[SpankRamen2]

[ashnburt11]

the video is awesome..very creative. i wish i could hear the lyrics in the verses more clearly..her voice is nice..and so is her smile :)

[louderthanabomb]

The original sample is The Spinners - Happy Home. A real dope joint that has been sampled over and over again. This is the first time I've heard the Musinah track but damn i'm loving it. She's so adorable! :)

[BlueTreble]

How many times a day do I watch this video??? I walk around singing the chorus and my dad's like, "what are you singing?" lol. Love this! The ending just makes it for me. Dr. King. Muhsinah rocks!!

[peppi235]

It's funny coz it's true... Reconstruct... from the bottom up....

[Deezy94]

Where can I find this song?? :-(

[lfth8dakidz]

oh n she Produced this beat and does all the vocals

[lfth8dakidz]

damn i wish the video version was on the album I LOVE THIS SONGGGGGGGGGGGG man i swear i got all my friend diggin this song

[MyKill71]

What a serious drug, THIS song is......!

[videodrug]

there's also this sample i nsome madlib track or dilla i think

[lessunn]

@videodrug - Yea it's a song call Happy Home. It's a Madlib track feat. Talib Kweli......It's pretty hot too....but I love the way Muhsinah flip this! She's an OX

[vinhock]

I'm in love. I want you to come to Chicago. How much do you charge. soooo serious.

[kenmasters1000]

Just came across to this joint and I am feeling it. Real Wholesome Good Music.. Industry needs to promote creativity and tight production than bullshit.

[lfth8dakidz]

THIS MY SHIT!!!!!!!!!! her voice is like buttah omg she is the fuckin truth

[ghost4doom]

She made this beat?? damn

[ghost4doom]

dope

[KageMaxwell]

I want an eclectic and prolific woman of the arts like this woman. She is 360 degrees of beautiful in my eyes.

[toriclover]

some real r&b here

[LinJapanese]

this is nicolay on the beat!

[rxlngr]

No, no. Let's clear this up... This track is self-produced. That's Muhsinah on the beat, songwriting, vocal arrangement, recording, mixing and mastering. Start to finish. Roota to the toota. The end. : )

[LinJapanese]

word... its def sounds like something i've heard from nicolay before... its all gravy.

[rtoriq]

@LinJapanese Nah, she produced this beat. Nicolay was just the first to use that sample in "Rise".

[rtoriq]

Wrote comments months ago and still feel the same about this joint....now excuse me while i go back to boppin my head

---------------

and reflect.

[midnightfalkon]

You can tell she was influenced by Dilla and Madlib. Beat sounds just like Dilla's and the sampling sounds a lot like Madlib's.

[somnambulance]

"THIS... HAAA.... PPY HOMMMMME!" get it!

[lanadria]

she so different and unique! i love to hear different music!

[amychic88]

str8 beast!!

[creed180]

Beautiful music and beautiful smile screw it she's just beautiful lol

[Aurock]

Who directed this???

[jux55]

Brawns aka DJ Roddy Rod of Low Budget/Maspyke

[Strobreeze]

Finally a female who dont use her body to sell records. Her mind is just as fine!

[nusylrae]

Word!

[jordantresvante]

You better tell it!! Music is ssooo gone.. I laugh hysterically at so much of the "main stream" music..It lacks sense and relevance..

[JemineyeRephlex]

@Strobreeze DUDE!! Lisa Shaw?, Imogen Heap?, Esthero? So many more lovely, majestic female vocalists I can name that aren't flashing their cooch or rubbing up on a mannequin for some camera time!!

[LexyAAA]

@Strobreeze right! all these whores on the radio..uhem.nicki minaj, cant stand that tramp. I love this lady <3

[BlackisBeautiful]

More female producers! yayy!

[maryswollenoats]

@BlackisBeautiful dope if u like her u will like aquas46

[akwapheena]

i love this chick she is awesome

[SkaaJones]

Knew she was one talented lady from F.E. but damn!

Hip-hop Eternalist

[fungkey1]

Madlib used the same sample for Talib Kweli- Happy Home. Its as dope as this song..

[rtoriq]

Good lookin out fungkey1! As usual, Madlib delivers on that track. Agghh i loves that dude....

---------------

and reflect.

[jux55]

i like this version better because of the texture and arrangement. ..sounds more exciting...Madlibs version just uses the sample as is....with the Happy Home hook in there...

[Iansback]

Nicolay also used the sample on "Rise" off of Supastition's Chain Letters.

[Down2EarthAfroPuff]

I love her sound and all......she is very talented....her voice is somewhat angelic :) I can dig it

[rtoriq]

i cannot believe she produced the beat!!!!

THAT'S WSUP!!! Female producers throw your hands up!!!

Damn that's some inspiration for me to keep at it!

---------------

and reflect.

[jux55]

......females CAN  produce

[rtoriq]

yes indeed!

[Wunyzup]

SO TRUE! +5

[Dionne190]

You create some dope vids dude, and I love Muhsinah too...

[djdoogs]

What a great singer she is and she is also a great producer, her beats are awesome.

[DaWu1623]

it doesn't get more refreshing then this...

[eDdaSound]

Yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhh !!!!

[kukutux]

she's awesome

[kukutux]

she's like a Kate Bush for this generation but with a hip-hop slant

[PropheticSarahNell]

I love how she's singing in the Mike Slott Deux Three song.

[neobrown81]

Is that what it's called? :smiles

[9ways2win]

Innovation!

[9ways2win]

This is her beat too.

[gissi088]

*Detroit is watchin!

[thirdeyehigh]

If you hear similarities between Georgia Anne Muldrow and Muhsinah then you probably need to fix your ears. You probably think E. Badu and Jill Scoot sound alike too, huh? Chances are, you're listening through that filter in your brain that makes superficial associations.

[inspiredsister]

i don't think jill scott sounds anything like e. badu but i DO hear a GAM influence with this sis. it's not a bad thing at all it's just more good music. BUT to say that there isn't a similarity in (certain) vocal inflections is a joke. lol

[janalyn629]

I cannot believe that this chick straight lifted Georgia Anne Muldrow's style. GAM's old style, that is.

WOW!

[THUGSTUDIOUS]

Hmm I dont see the similarities AT ALL. I like her better than GAM. You pretentious Stones Throw Heads some times.....

[sinahsmom]

Strictly a coincidence!! Let it go. From an eye-witness.

[afib]

not the same style.

[afib]

love her!

[OUTABODIES]

Pure sweetness! My ears are in love.

[SoulnSong]

Way to rep HU! That's wassapp!!!

Brian

[muhsinah]

!!!

the artist and i have the same name! eh, this isn't really my kind of music but it's a really nice video..

also, completely random, but i just happen to be doing constructions in math now...=)

[SeanJohnson5]

Wow....I've had this on repeat for the last 30 minutes. It's infectious. I love it. I'm a fan!!

[busgaskin]

lovin it!!

[virgoice]

Is it me or does she share similarities to Georgia Anne Muldrow?

[yamwho74]

I thought it was for a second.

[smokelips]

star qualities...everyone involved. good ish. hope yall do some shows inthe 'district'.
