You betta’ believe it! By pure chance this is the 950th post on record (there are more: some are hidden, in draft or simply deleted…).
Wild Sampling
I thought it would be easy assemble the 1991-1994 list… I was surely mistaken. So, I’m just going to do my best: Black Sheep Gangstarr Nice & Smooth Grand Puba Brand Nubian Group Home Mobb Deep E-40 Eric B. & Rakim Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth Showbiz & A.G. Tha Alkaholiks Digable Planets The Roots… Continue reading Wild Sampling
I Want To B Digital
ODB? You need to understand, the genius of the Old Dirty Bastard. Kiss of a black widow off the Bobby Digital album. RZA tries really, really hard (lyrically/craziliy) to keep up with ODB… what happens next? [RZA] “- I’m not doing it right?” [ODB] “- Do I lock on beyond the break.” What to say?… Continue reading I Want To B Digital
Not That Many Days Left Of This Year?
No noise 2019? Not even the mighty Fabio & Grooverider are playing it? Oh, well, it is by far the best dumb’n’bass* this year and for some years and some years to come. Why? It is plain to see, why…? For one thing, if an album contains one instant classic then that is enough in… Continue reading Not That Many Days Left Of This Year?
You Would Have Thought Or Bringin’ It?
That the subject was depleted by now? Helas, I’m still wondering, thinking and trying to understand how this is this possible? How and by what means did Aphex produce this: Selected Ambient Works 85-92. – What do you mean? – Literally I do not understand how or by what means “Xtal + Tha” could ever… Continue reading You Would Have Thought Or Bringin’ It?
There’s Another Track
Possibly superseding the best track ever produced. What? It is a track that may supersede: Shadow Boxing! I’m not telling… not for a good year. I’ve heard it and that’s enough for me. I never, ever thought that would happen in my life-time. It did and I know what it is. Someone, please call the… Continue reading There’s Another Track
My 3rd Copy
I had two copies on vinyl previously, this one is the third and it is the CD version. I also found these (y’all need to stop throwing things…) in the trash. I remember one night I was jamming in a chili house on Seventh Avenue between 139th and 140th. It was December 1939. Now I’d… Continue reading My 3rd Copy
Disturbingly Good
This is work in progress… I’m dazed and confused by Shitkid. It just seems wrong. Why in the name of the Lord would you ever make a cover of My Favorite Thing? The short and simple answer? You would not ever do that. On top of it all I’ve been and I still am a… Continue reading Disturbingly Good
Tru Steppa
Tru steppa, hard steppa? This is as close as you will get to my definition. The source is a bit more complicated who-is-who and whatnot production wise according to me. As it was originally stated: La coïncidence n’existe pas.. There are too many similarities and tracks-within-tracks. It is an investigation that will have to wait… Continue reading Tru Steppa
