@hughgallop you have to understand the guy; he has different passions, i felt the same way when i heard most of his stuff that wasnt off entroducing but then i look the guy up and he's a huge hiphop head and he likes to do hiphop shit. If you want something newish that is shadow doin his thing with bad ass hiphop mc'in check out dj shadow f. david banner - seein' thangs. I kind wish they did that on letterman it would have been fucking amazing.
to whoever said q-tip is a shitty mc; bahahahahaha
guys. shadow knew a lot of people wouldnt like it and/or would be thrown off by this album. trust me guys. hes coming back. hes cooking a new album and hes gonna murder us
Reminds me of all the top 40 bullshit that is sterile, bland and lacking ANYTHING. The old stuff is way better. The formula was working, no reason to change for the mass media bs.
all you people need to give q-tip a break, jesus. q-tip is STILL making dope music! not just average, "oh yeah that guy used to be good, and i think he stills makes music," kind of stuff. the renaissance was one of the best hip hop albums ive heard in recent years. q-tip is still a great mc, here i think the production is to blame, with that kind of beat i don't know how you could not sound completely lame trying to rap over it. i still love dj shadow i just think this album was a misstep.
Shadow should have taken his jacket off and stayed awhile... Seriously though, I really don't like The Outsider and I am a huge Shadow fan. But this performance was good. I mean, Q-Tip, Lateef, Shadow on Letterman? C'mon. It's kind of nice to see...
I think that jacket is a limited edition DJ Shadow/LRG collaboration piece specifically for the outsider, it has the outsider logos all over it, so obviously Shadow is gonna wear it to advertize to all the people who love him a little too much and buy all that type of stuff.
yea this was like watchin a bad cabaret act. did ya see the stiff-ass audience when they were sayin put ya hands up lol. they probly thought it was a stick up
a true artist reinvents himself. a static artist is goes stagnant. plus he can't push the hyphy movement with another giving up the ghost, that just isn't relivent.
I like the outsider. if its just about money why why doesn't he repeat the stuff fromover a decade ago and all you 'purists' would buy it and love it and crawlinside your own navel
Jajaja! goes for me? I followed Shadow since old times and this is pure comerciality for girls..In some interviews, he told bad things about private press!!! he's fucking lost..i think it must be the bad influences.....
what's wrong with you Aguilera? Vocally she is one of the best in the pop mainstream world...Britney would have been a better choice to make your point..but I get your point. Honestly this is not the greatest thing I've heard from Shadow or Lateef, and I'm not crazy about it...but I'm not quite at a point to question their ITEGRITY.
people who hate on this, are merely listners who like there music to sounds one way...they don't understand true music lovers and makers, and truly creative artist can never meet that expectation because it goes against the nature of creativity and exploration found in true talents. FLATLINE MUSIC TASTE is a disease free yourself!
people who hate this shitty song are shadow apreciators, and see what he's trying to do...only money....I can hear a lot of different types of music man, but always with a condition...INTEGRITY!!
I'm all for INTEGRITY...but what about this song refelcts a lack of it. I still don't get your point. Just cause I guy that makes records that sound one wayt or even from a particular perspective doesn't mean he should have stick to that sound or even creative intention.
with all my respects, I must say that "the outsider" means to break with old shadow apreciators..but I guess that Shadow will return to his roots in his next work, surely...all people i know disaproves outsider..Look, dj Spooky can change all that he wants, but always sounds investigating, not trying to please masses...Shadow didn't it this way..
People who dis Shadow are often stuck on his Entroducing album. Get over it. Shadow crosses all style types of music and has no set style (xcept he's always innovative). Anyone who thinks he is selling out is an idiot. If you listened to his music you'd know that none of his albums were made for a "market".
I would fucking love it if all the underground acts went mainstream to replace the shit on the radio right now. Increased exposure and a larger audience does not constitute a "sell-out", some backpackers piss me off, these artists are not your little secrets, music is for everyone; and if intellectual intelligent music replaced the formulaic club nonsense out there now, I'd be thrilled.
Dj Shadow went crappy when he took the back seat to his own music. Putting popular rappers over his tracks is the worst thing you could ever do. It makes Dj Shadow sound so generic.. so sad.. :(
Yea this aint great considering Shadow's body of work, but I can't blame the dude for trying to make a more comrecially palitable album to make some dough. CREAM
Haters of DJ Shadow for doing what he's always done are ignorant. Too bad... he's making great hiphop still in the mist of wack shit... too bad... haters. Anyway...this is dope, nice post.
Not too fond of Lateefs lyrics in his later stuff. Too comercial sounding, with lyrics like "get your hands in the air" but i guess thats what you need to do if you want to make money in the music bizz.I wish he would do some more stuff with LB as Latyrx is(was:() one of the best groups i'd ever heard.
p.s Lateef is looking mighty funky is his new suit.
people...the cables are probably goin down thru the legs of the table...dont u know that they do what they can to make the set look neat...they dont want cables everywhere
This album isn't my favorite either, but Shadow does deserve the props, as fendray said. I don't really like hiphop but Shadow really, really deserves respect.
Not my favorite song of the CD, but still pretty tight. Hella funny seein those in-house fans wavin der hands. Q-Tip is a poor mc tho, hearin flub those lines. Shadow is legit tho.
Whaaat? QTip is one of the best of the old school mc's and he can still bring it with the best of them. Show some respect for the man who broke East Coast rap into the main stream. He was probably ryming when you were in diapers...
@DjDialogic Q tip is better than any new mc out today times a thous, and it's not even close lupe fiasco is wack ass hell, can't make a creative album to save his life. Good comment, teach these young cats a lesson.
man i'm glad to see shadow getting more recognition, he totally deserves it. his new album is not my favorite but i still have a ton of respect for him.
