I don't have the store-bought copy in my hands, but is "Shoomp" even on there? Might have got left off.

Here's Dave's "journal" at the Spitkicker message board. Tour underway.

Tim F asked: Is the Sean Paul track on the new album "Shoomp"?
Yes

Pete sez: I don't have the store-bought copy in my hands, but is "Shoomp" even on there? Might have got left off.
Like I said above, "Shoomp" is the European only bonus track.

"I'd imagine that Ghost was invited onto the record as a last minute amicable solution to them both sampling the same loop on their respective albums."

That's seems unlikely at best

I think it's pretty obvious that De La, or their label, never paid Ghostface for the guest spot, so he took the beat, his verse, and released it as white label. Notice how it's the exact same beat, and the exact same lyrics. Except the intro, where he says, in part:

"Niggas just should've pay'd me my stacks, these niggas sending me tracks and they tryin' not to pay the kid....This is what happens when niggas send me shit and pay me my fuckin' money! PRETTY TONEY SHOULDA GOT HIS DOUGH.."

I love this album. I might like Bionix more though. I like individual tracks on earlier albums but frankly I find most of them way too filler happy. This thing has TWELVE tracks. god bless.

should read - "and DON'T pay me my fuckin' money!" - naturally

Now that I've heard the title cut, I will HAVE to go get this.

They put on one surprise throwdown of a show last night. During "Rock Co. Kane Flow" (which is incidentally my favorite track on the album and one of my favorite tracks of the year) somebody THREW UP ON ME. And I didn't really seem to mind that much.

Just bought this. Will report back.

This record is really very strong innit. Nothing better than when veterans nonchalantly drop solid records decades into their careers.

Shopping Bags is really great, one of the best singles of the year methinks.

― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Friday, 26 August 2016 05:43 (seven years ago) link
