Love her! So underrated.

She is quite lovely isn't she?! This is just beautiful....we need much much more of this foundational music. There is far too much hip hop, pop, rock...this is the origin of / the root of it all and she is very gifted

Ummmm this is so destructurated, ummm, music. I personnally, without intention on harmy anyones feelings, just want to bit through the table. This is causing weird waves in my brain. I am an opened person to new styles of music, but i just can't stand it.

Just came to check Esperanza Spalding though.

@huntedrasta Hugs to you. I am glad we were able to clear that up. All genre's of music deserve to not only survive...but thrive.

@HearNSee1 Ok I like that much better now! Glad to have this discussion, and to see more like-minded individuals. Keep spreading the Light. Peace & Hip Hop

@HearNSee1 As you said, it is no big deal. I'm sorry you feel I came off as dismissive when it comes to rap &,hip hop,pop,rock....other genre's in general. I love all genre's of music. Jazz/instrumental is the root of which I was speaking and in the context of the conversation on the boards at the time, we were discussing Esperanza's win over Justin Bieber. at the Grammy's.& how Jazz is often overlooked for hip hop,rock,pop ,etc.Not upset at all. Just nice 2 see her win Peace & Light

@HearNSee1 I can see why my reply to your comment bothered you. And its no big deal, but what I disliked is this: "there is far too much hip hop, pop, rock... this is the origin of" blah blah... this is not the origina! this is new music... although in many ways it goes back to some of the roots (mainly jazz) there is no denying the influences of modern pop and hip hop... you make it sound like anything hip hop or pop must be less good than a more "old school" genre. anyhow, peace out

[HearNSee1]

@huntedrasta I said FOUNDATIONAL music and it is quite fundamental in my opinion...which by the way, I am entitled to have, just as you are entitled to have your obvious opinions about my comment. Who are you ro say what I said is meaningless?? Stick to your own perceptions and let others have theirs. Jeez, I wrote this over 4 months ago. There are 5 thumbs up on the comment. Why does what I said bother you so anyway? It is a free forum remember? And yes, it is good music!.

[huntedrasta]

@HearNSee1 She is truly great but that comment you made is meaningless.

its not about the genre... fundament... its just good music ok
