Just depends on the project. Everybody's in a damn hurry. I've seen Brian McKnight write and track a song in 6 hours. But that's definitely not typical. I think some cats intentionally exaggerate their speediness to throw off the haters and newcomers.

The pizzi is not on just the black keys, it's the pentatonic scale in whatever key the song was in (black keys are effectively the pentatonic scale). I love the pentatonic scale, and you probably can tell from the song =).
I've no qualms with the pentatonic scale. It's just convenient that it happens to be one of the easier compositional elements for underdeveloped talent. Black keys -- or transpose until the black keys sound right. LOL
