It's
been 10 yrs since the events of 9/11, and in his new video 'Darkness' -
NiQ rebels against the popular sentiment surrounding the polarizing
event, scathingly breaking down the political, financial, military,
media misinformation, and the duplicity of the American government
regarding the surrounding events. With the 2012 elections looming ahead,
and a changing political landscape, NiQ asks if we can afford to ignore
the questions he poses in "Darkness". - video by Purple Films
I play this song at least once a day. Seriously, it takes you to a higher plane in thinking I swear. It's like an instantaneous pick me up whenever I'm having an iffy day. Whenever I listen to it, I imagine that I'm screaming in the crowd "Sang that S&!T Lionel!!!" and I faint and pass out. The Commodores are the shit.
The End.
Fun Facts:
This song was sampled by De La Soul's song "Sunshine" and also by Fat Joe on Don Cartegena on the track "Walk On By" and a couple more.
The album this song was on was on the 1976 album "Hot on The Tracks with "Just To Be Close To You" and was the group's first to top the R&B music charts.
