Music to me is an expression of the spirit and soul unlike any other. This track from Erick Sermon’s 2001 album Music articulates the power of music and combines a smooth delivery from Sermon and Marvin Gaye’s musical genius (sampled from “I’ve Got My Music” on the bonus disc of Gaye’s 1982 album Midnight Love) with a sneaky-funky bassline, a minimal guitar riff, and classic hip-hop drums. This is the essence of music. “La dah dah dah dahhh, dah dahh, dah. Doo-doo-doo, doo doo . . . “
