Both genres of jazz and soul meet rap on this single by Adic. Adic - Ain’t No Love is a Shreveport rap classic. This single is Shreveport rap at its finest. Adic is Always Def In Competition from Shreveport, Louisiana, US. The single was released locally on cassette and vinyl in 1993 for the independent ADIC label.
The single Ain’t No Love is about how people have no love for each other these days. It also deals how people are heartless these days. Ain’t No Love searches for the solution of happiness. Adic rakes it back to the roots on this album. The single’s title is solely based off of and inspired by the Bobby Bland jazz ballad Ain’t No Love In The Heart of City. That is where the inspiration for the album title must have come from.
Ain’t No Love is about how people have no love and are heartless these days. People are heartless these days. We as humans are not as compassionate as we should be. We are not compassionate as we once were. Just look at the world.
This beginning sentence “Just look at the world.” gives us a foreshadowing into our grim looking future. That sentence alone gives us an insight into our grim future.
Adic states that black people are getting killed in the city streets of inner cities and urban communities. Many killings of black do happen when living in an urban community. Murder, homicide, and genocide are well prevalent in many inner cities. Adic raps about crime that plagues inner cities and drugs that effect peoples mood stability.
Adic tells us where we should be as a human race. Adic raps on debating issues that effect quality of living. Homelessness, poverty, and crime are enormous issues that effect the quality of living in America. These issues effect quality of living standards.
Damn It Feels Good is an upbeat swing jazz ballad of which Adic raps about how the quality of living in America would be in the group’s vision of a perfect world. Damn It Feels Good is an upbeat swing jazz ballad that has a positive vibe to it very much similar to 80s and 90s pop. You can definitely hear that upbeat 90s pop sound in Damn It Feels Good. The song itself is filled with both negative and positive themes.
Adic makes pro black statements at the very beginning of Damn It Feels Good. The group Adic tells black people in America to be proud of their race. That is their stance on racial pride. Pro-black is where and what Adic wants to be at. It’s about proud of being black. This tells us where the group Adic is on pro-black stances.
Adic raps about how the quality of living in America would be in the group’s vision of a perfect world. There would be no homelessness. There would be no poverty. Starvation would become a thing of the past. Abortion would become a thing of the past too. Adic states that there should be no crime. Everyone would be living in peace and harmony. But Adic knows that it’s too much to ask for.
Adic wants the following, “Everyone would live in peace and harmony.” The message Adic is trying to get across is wanting everyone to live in peace and harmony. Adic wants everyone to live in peace and harmony. The message is quite simple.
What Makes You Want To Want To Lie To Me is a sad heartbreaking love song with an Enya-esque sample of What Makes You Want To Want To Lie To Me by Merge. As a matter of fact, the whole song entirely relies on the sample of What Makes You Want To Want To Lie To Me by Merge. Pay attention closely to musical notes playing from the harp and you’ll notice.
The change in the sound quality is noticeably huge. Volume is set at a much higher level than all the other songs on the album. What Makes You Want To Want To Lie To Me is a sad heartbreaking love song that hits right in the feels. It’s one of those down and out songs.
I rate this single 5/5*****!!
