Platinum Pied Pipers: Triple P Funk

July 8th, 2008 | Author: Sudaara White

DX: Your music is very straight forward lyrically. I find it to be very relaxing and the type you vibe to and just let it sit in the tape deck on a relaxing Sunday afternoon. When writing is it in your particular interest to create music that is made to chill and just shoot the breeze to? Would you call your style “grown folks music” in the sense that it takes a mature type of ear to appreciate it?
Waajeed:
With the last album, it was more kinda jazzy and chill out shit. With this new album, it’s completely opposite. The last album we had the highest tempo we went was about 105 with the "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" track. With this new album we’re all the way at 130 BPM’s. It’s not super kind of chill out shit. We start with the ending in mind. We wanted to make a more danceable album, stuff that has more energy to it. With the last album, I was shopping at Banana Republic. Not that there’s anything wrong with Banana Republic, but they’re playing our record at Banana Republic, and I was just like "Aw shit." It’s definitely a compliment to be played anywhere, but, I remember thinking, "Nah…we need to be at a club." Yeah, they played the record in Kinko's I was like, "What the fuck? What’s going on here?"
