Ah bet allyuh doh know that for a short period in his life 50 CENTS had a CARIBBEAN STEP FATHER who played CALYPSO in the house NIGHT AND DAY. And that was THE INFLUENCE for P.I.M.P and THE PAN.
Well, you have to have an EAR for CALYPSO to pick up the STRAINS IN THE MELODY. But from the first time I heard the recording -- I recognized the CALYPSO MELODY that he used.
But the truth is that AFRICAN-AMERICAN MUSICIANS are REAL GENIUSES. Not the kind of FALSE GENIUSES dey does be HAILING IN TRINIDAD.
Look!!! Dem so called MUSIC GENIUSES IN TRINIDAD lock down for NINE COVID MONTHS and they are yet to produce ONE DECENT PIECE OF PAN MUSIC (given all the time for introspection) ... so I will never BE IMPRESSED.
Anyway, this is one of the most beautiful pieces of RHYTHM that I have ever heard in my life ... ah doh care what you say about me ... I am a EMEFFING P.I.M.P ... and I could recognize THE BEV PIMPING PAN MEN in THIS COUNTRY ...
