“That Drum And Bass” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 21/7/2020

Now It’s THAT Drum And Bass ...
That Makes My Pulse RACE ... !!!
 
From The Sounds of Reggae ...
To Those of ... ROCK ...
And The Roughest Hip Hop ... !!!
 
Where Bass Lines Drop ...
That Make My Head Start To NOD ... !!!!!
 
Even When It’s Jazz ...
By The Coolest Bands ...
With Talented Hands ...
 
From Mingus To James ...
There Are Too Many Names ...
 
Who’ve Used Drum And Bass ...
In The ... GREATEST  WAYS ... !!!

From My Junglist Days ...
Clubbing In The UK ...
To Those Hip Hop Nights ...
Where The Bass Was LIVE ... !!!
 
I Can’t Remember A Time ...
Where My Daily Vibes ...
Weren’t Filled With Bass Lines ... !!!
 
And The Type of Drums ...
That Made My Cars THUMP ... !!!
 
Cos’ Bass Lines That I Run ...
Are Those That Bump TOUGH ...
And Dump The Likes of TRUMP ...
And The Talk That They Run ... !!!
 
Into ... OBLIVION ... !!!
With No Social Distance ...
 
And With NO VIRUS ... !!!
Because There’s NO SILENCE ...
When My Tunes Start Riding ...
With ... Dr. Dre’s Timing ... !!!
 
So Just So You Know ...
How DEEP That I Go ...
Where Hard Drums Roll ...
With Bass Lines In Tow ... !!!
 
As I Said There’s Jazz ...
 
Where Bass Lines Land ...
That Are Smooth And Phat ..
 
That’s Right ...
Phat With A ... “ P “ ... !!!
 
Like The Man Grant Green ...
To Hands Cocked of Herbies’... !!!
 
You See Men Like These ...
... INSPIRE Me ... !!!

Because MUSICALLY ...
Their Creativity ...
 
Through Musical Themes ...
Has Helped Me Achieve ...
A Way of Writing Poetry ...
That Flows RHYTHMICALLY ...
 
Just Like The Drum And Bass ...
That They Used To Make ...
Other Instruments Groove ...
With Drum And Bass Moods ...
 
Talking of Moods ...
Let’s Change Up The Tunes ...
 
Because I REALLY Listen To ...
MANY ... Multitudes ...
of Drum and Bass Vibes ...
of ... DIFFERENT KINDS ... !!!
 
I’m A Hip Hop Guy ...
Who Likes HARD BASS LINES ... !!!
 
So That’s Right I GO IN ... !!!
To The Sounds of Nick Wiz ... !!!
 
Who's REAL UNDERGROUND Kids !!!
 
To The Boot Camp Clik ...
And Of Course ... RAKIM ... !!!
 
To The Bass That Dre Plays ...
And DON’T You Try To Claim ...
That You Know Heavy Bass ...
WITHOUT Knowing MASTA ACE .... !!!
 
Because The ...
Hip Hop He’s Made ...
 
Has THAT BASS ...
That’s ... IN YOUR FACE ...  !!!
 
There Are ...
FAR TOO MANY NAMES ...
 
In Hip Hop ... Dub ...
Rock ... Jazz And Reggae ...
 
For Me To Name ... !!!
 
As There Are In Blues ...
Dance And Funk Grooves ...

Like Those of James Brown ...
Whose Use of Drum Rhythms ...
Were ... Black And PROUD ... !!!

And Funkily Smitten ...
With Bass Lines THAT ...
Make Ya Wanna Dance ... !!!
 
And That’s A FACT ... !!!!!
 
Even Some TRANCE ...
And Dub Step HAS ...
 
Bass Lines That GRAB ... !!!
 
Like REAL Man Wanna Do ...
... A Nice Piece of Ass ... !!!!!
 
Drum And Bass ...
Is NEVER Far AWAY ...
 
From Where The Girlies ...
Like To ... PLAY ...
 
Because Bass Sounds ...
Get Girls ... AROUSED ...
 
And Women TOO ...
DON’T Get It Confused ... !!!
 
I Could Go ON And ON ... !!!
About Different Songs ...
 
Where Drum And Bass ...
CONNECTS Our Human Race ...
In ... POSITIVE Ways ... !!!
 
It’s A BEAUTIFUL Thing ... !!!
That ... TRULY BRINGS ... !!!!!
 
Something That LINKS ...
Our DIFFERENT Skins ... !!!
 
And That Is Where ...
This Poem Should End ...
 
That Simply Says ...
 
I LOVE To Hear It ...
... EVERYDAY ... !!!
 
In DIFFERENT Ways ...
In The Music I Play ...
 
The ...
... INCREDIBLE Gift ... !!!
 
of .......
