The song “why hip-hop sucked in 96” was in terms of beat insane. The melody played to me and made me think of those songs that inspire me to take up arms, a pen or marker and even made me want to write. The piano sounds gave it an ominous melody that to my ears played well with the rest of the beats, specially the deep drum bass sounds. Though the middle was a bit out of touch with the vibe of the rest it did play well and within the 40 seconds or so. As the song finishes on a different vibe then the beginning the spoken word element about money was a great addition. This is one song where I can understand the message and agree with what DJ Shadow may be trying to say via beats.
Yet given all this my final opinion stays, while I will give to the fact that the album made history and many people at the time slept on its accomplishment, to me right now as I progress I need and want more from it. If DJ Shadow came out with an updated version using the last few years as inspiration I could see another piece of history being made. Though like my feelings torn down fourteen years later by someone else’s blog.
