Not offended, Crow Sister. In fact I dont think anybody's been particularly critical. Anyway, criticism is what I hope for! There are many different rhythmic approaches you can take to Shallow Brown. I am very interested in the song, it is the one I have worked with with many young rappers and DJs recently; the possibilities, in the lyrics, tune and rhythms of the version we use, are just staggering. MC Meistro in Manchester, to take one example has deconstructed, this in some very ingeniouis ways, expanding every line into a new story using other rappers in a kind of viral way. And the use of the Bahamian brass band style in the version I put a link to gives another set of connections.
A very suggestive song, and strong enough to take whatever any of us throw at it.
