    This song sounds absolutely phenomenal on vinyl. There’s so much percussive depth it just sounds so good with the added analog warmth. Highly recommend.

      ​@sacredempress4917 can't speak of today's quality but I have the pioneer turntable and speakers inherited from my late father he purchased them in the 80's and they still play vinyl like butter. A diamond tip needle and it's pure musical heaven 👌🏽

      @pernelachea1163 Před 3 lety +3

      @oddity21 its because if you ask to buy and play a guitar you'd have your ass beat for making too much noise but if you plug in your headphones in and mix on your laptop you're not disturbing anyone. I know a kid in Georgia whos parents sold his drum set after receiving a fine and the landlord threatened to up their rent for disturbing the neighbourhood. like if we cant even practice intruments by oursleves without worrying about our parents having to pay fines why would we ever pick up an actual instrument.

    • @pernelachea1163
      @pernelachea1163 Před 3 lety +1

      Have you ever considered that maybe the reason why youngsters pick up producing beats instead on.instruments is because a guitar costs $100 to $500 dollars and a producing program costs like $25 or even free if you torrented it

    • @leedza
      @leedza Před 3 lety

      @@pernelachea1163 Ofcourse it's an accessibility issue. Software is how I got into music personally. However, music theory and learning an instrument is always essential to move to the next level. Today's music has been stuck in the same place for at least 5 years.

    The Roots are the true essence of musicianship and artistry! Let's not forget about my Soul brother Musiq Soulchild's vocal capability! He reminds me of Marvin Gaye on this song 🎵
