That looks like a good comp because it compiles shit from outside his LPs, his shit with the firm, etc.

Does Decade have anything on it from Last Call?

max (maxreax), Friday, 30 June 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't remember all the songs on Last Call which is pretty uneven but I didn't recognize any on the tracklist. AWOL has 3 'bonus tracks' off Last Call.

First of all, I'm an idiot for starting this thread instead of posting my query here: Shawnna - 'Block Music'.

Secondly, deej, did I really read this right?
Also, ILM should be prepared for the fact that one song samples the NEW RADICALS. I am not even joking.
If so, I will buy it immediately. As in 5 minutes ago. (New Radicals one of my favorite albums of the past decade, for real.)

Is it wrong that reading this, about DJ Shadow's new album, just makes me sad? I don't wanna hear him making a damned hyphy record, I wanna hear him as a turntablist. And yes I guess in a way I'm saying "STAY THE WAY YOU ARE DON'T EVER CHANGE" but when you're as brilliant as he's been, is that a crime?

Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

The song "Chicago" samples "Someday We'll Know"

Schwing!

Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

say, that AZ song is tops! sweet thx for the heads-up!

That AZ double album reminds me of the Cormega double CD which is totally worth the purchase price, even though I think one of the albums it contains is total garbage. I think its the 2nd CD I like a lot, some great bonus tracks and his best album.

deej.. (deej..), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

OK I got the titles straight, I kind of can't stand "The Realness" where the lyrics are all vague and not particularly real and the beats are largely zzz, but "True Meaning" it all comes together.

dk prob has a different perspective, I know he's a 'mega fan.

deej.. (deej..), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

(I'd heard both way back when, but didn't really revisit him again til I copped the double disc when it dropped.)

deej.. (deej..), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

man, are you mixing up the titles? the true meaning is the questionable album, out of those two. the realness has... man, tons of classics... THUN AND KICKO with prodigy, THE SAGA, GLORY DAYS (ghetto quran basically but beofre 50 did it [50 jacked the idea and the beat too for some shit on the massacre][there's a bit on his dvd where he talks about actually getting permission to name some names he named and he interviews the black roddy dude that was the richest nigga in his building]), 5 FOR 40 (acapella mega interludes greatest thing ever invented), R U MY NIGGA, THEY FORCED MY HAND. beats are crazy, raps are just so basic and raw, nothing vague at all (on the contrary all the bullshit OCD details i love about what exact cars and shoes he was copping in twenty fucking years ago now [NIKE DELTA FORCES WITH THEM CLEAR CAPSULES]) and he still got the concept tracks about pimping his pen and how his raps are like crack.

the true meaning is some shit i can see a lot of people not being that into unless they have a high tolerance for that kind of thing.

Maybe I'll listen to it again when I get home from work. I thought the one w "Love In Love Out" was the one I liked though.

deej.. (deej..), Friday, 30 June 2006 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

if the odds were good, i'd put some money down on mega not actually putting out a new album this decade (the testament doesn't count cause it's from 94). i mean, he's got like four years and if anyone can fuck up that kind of deadline it's mega. you know we're never gonna hear that lake/mega album that's supposed to drop on death row. not only is it cormega, it's on DEATH ROW. and that track with puba and krs and e-40 was supposedly mixed like a year ago and urban legend's been coming soon for like five years.

333333333333 (33333), Friday, 30 June 2006 19:44 (seventeen years ago) link

i forgot about legal hustle but mega tries to distance himself from that by calling it a compilation and not a real album, even if there isn't anything wrong with it.

333333333333 (33333), Friday, 30 June 2006 19:46 (seventeen years ago) link

This double CD would've been pure fire, enough to move all the attention off wannabe rappers 50something and The Ga(y)me and bring Mega the fame and glory he rightfully deserves.

Thomas, what I've heard of Shadow's album isn't great (altho I probably need to listen to it more) but it's only partly because of his beats; the other problem is that the rappers on it are spitting mediocre lines. "Three Freaks" isn't bad, though.

The instrumentals sound sort of generally mediocre--it feels like Shadow's still in 1997 or something (not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but I already own Endtroducing, not to mention the RJD2/Diplo/whoever albums that rip it off. So why do I need to hear him rip off himself again?)

max (maxreax), Friday, 30 June 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Haven't Shadow's DJ sets been pretty much nothing but crunk & hyphy for the past four years?

Also, AZ is clearly the shit--possibly only second to Ghostface as far as still relevant NY vets. "Never Change" and several tracks from AWOL are tops.

ramon fernandez (ramon fernandez), Saturday, 1 July 2006 05:45 (seventeen years ago) link

man i gotta check out some AZ! i totally slept on him after the first record..i've been missing out!

M@tt He1geson, Rendolent Ding-Dong (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 1 July 2006 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Thoughts on the new Snoop single, the last half of which I just heard on KDAY? I liked it. I think it's called "Vato." Neptunes production ("Skateboard P" is heard at the end)? Good chorus, though.

"Run, motherfuckers, run
Duck motherfuckers, duck."

today on http://www.paperthinwalls.com/singlefiles/item?id=40 Sterling Clover on some appropriately unstable " 'global hip-hop' " and some subway (car-to-car)loose jointjamz too (that last is id=118). And yours truly on let's-call-it-grime Tolcha, Berlin-based collective, featuring some UK and US rappers; their album is one of the best of any kind of music I've heard this year (id=26). Featuring MP3s of all these.

i just picked up the jr writer album out of curiosity and it's pretty good. or half-good, anyway. some of it drags, predictably, but there's some pretty hot stuff on it. i think he works best on the harder cuts, he has trouble really riding the slinkier beats -- tends to sort of just rhyme straight through them.

gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Saturday, 26 August 2006 02:55 (seventeen years ago) link

only great thing I've heard lately is the new DOUBLE CD mixtape from Chingo Bling, who just got his culo signed by Arista. first disc is called "Everybody Wants Him...But Who Can Afford Him?" and second disc is "America's Faborite Wetback: The Mextape." it's funny and Houston-riffic, on one he tells a girl to shave her chocha because 'damn, I ain't vote for bush"

also the single, "Do the Lasso" (with two D4L guys) is pretty great, he rhymes lasso with el paso and hassle and asshole

haha, you just sold me on it.
