Comment:
I admit that I am not the world's foremost expert on hip-hop. That said, this is a sampling of some of the things from that genre that I really enjoy. Sure, Del is involved in 3 of the 17 tracks, but he's one of my favorites, and they're all from different groups, so I let it slide.
Brother Ali is an albino rapper from Minneapolis. As such, I thought his music would rely on that fact, and be very gimmicky. I was wrong. "Forest Whitiker" is one of the absolute best songs released in the last year.
Note that I did not use "hip-hop" as a qualifier in that last sentence.
Feedback:
Good stuff, Adam. You definitely can't go wrong with Del on a mix. Lots of great old school stuff on here, as well. Also dig the Aesop Rock and the Jay-Z/Dangermouse track. (Though I think I like the mash up of "What More Can I Say" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" better.) Oh yeah, I highly recommend you check out the Kanye West disc. It's a good 'un.
okay, i was guilty of sticking two roots collaborations on one CD myself... this looks great.
Adam - I need to get this from your sometime - I have NO hiphop at all. And as you've seen from my stuff I have no problem at all repeating an artist or artists more than once on a mix to get what you want.
Yeah, this sounds awesome. Good work here, I was especially impressed by somebody so relatively new to the genre.
Looks good to me, Ad-man.
Oh, heavens. "Forest Whitiker" is one of my absolute favourite songs of all time. Seeing a room full of kids yelling "you ain't gotta love me!" back at Brother Ali at SXSW last month was a seriously moving experience. Cheers on a great mix.
what about deltron 3030?
btw, great mix
Nice to see Handsome Boy Modeling School there! Great picks overall - a very happy vibe too.
I can honestly say that this is a great listen. "Forest Whitiker" is brilliant!
