The other day while stuck in traffic (as usual) in downtown Dallas, I was struck with an epiphany. I was listening to a Gnarls Barkley CD and I realized that I hadn’t heard anything so interesting and fresh to my ears since Bobby McFerrin 16 years ago. Gnarles Barkley’s music is very interesting. I’d call them Experimental Rap/Hip-Hop, but they’re way more complicated than that. They have gospel, soul, underground hip-hop and even indie rock undertones. I haven’t heard this much creativity in popular mainstream music in a long while. That led me to my next conclusion: I think these guys should do at least one or two tracks with Bobby McFerrin. That’d be some really good music. By the way, if you haven’t heard “Thinkin’ About your Body” by Bobby McFerrin, you should–You’ll get a kick out of it.
