Yes, Meshell Ndegeocello is an A-list bass player. She made that abundantly clear with the deep-pocket grooves and snakily soulful bottom-end commentary that powered her 1993 debut album, Plantation Lullabies.
From the funk snap of Soul on Ice to the weighty punch of If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night) and on through the supremely easy glide of Dred Loc, the diminutive Ndegeocello walked onto the pop scene as a big player irrefutably in command of her four strings. And she garnered four Grammy nominations in the process.
