70s tributes come out every week, but Stone Rollin’ is all about pre-Motown soul. Saadiq has a full band including a harmonica player. This is not for Bruno Mars fans. The only modern element is the sweaty, thick-booty dancer in the video. Sphere: Related Content

Rap songs about weed have gotten predictable. You’ve got the woozy 808 heavy Wiz Khalifa/Curren$y weed songs and West Coast Devin the Dude smoker joints. Da COD veer off with a psychedelic rock sample and a raucous, comical, chorus. Green never fails to inspire. Sphere: Related Content
