I agree that the direction DJ Shadow took with The Outsiders was disappointing. But RJD2's last album, The Third Hand, was an even bigger disaster in which he SINGS and ruins his own beats. I'm not sure what got into either Shadow's or RJ's heads. Maybe the respect and success they were getting got the better of them to the point that they would almost ruin their careers.
But there's still hope out there. There's this producer, Wax Tailor, who's pretty dope. youtube the song/video "Que Sera"
If artists bring the same sound each record, people complain that it sounds the same. If artists takes a different approach with each record, people complain that they don't like this album verses that album.
Speaking on 2 of the most distinguished hip hop producers, they've been there and done that, and likely got bored of taking the same old approach. I agree that both said albums were not their most prolific works, but you dislike them now for the reason you liked them in the first place.
I thought DJ Shadow used to be someone who represented a unique voice in the genre. Now I'm just disappointed in much this sound like everything else, a total regression.
If this is what Dj Shadow has turned to then it really does look like RJD2 is hip hops only chance. Shame, shadow was a bad man back in the day. cest la vie. viva la hip hop!
All of you dickheads with your small minded comments wouldn't know good music if it kicked you in the face. I've been a huge fan of DJ Shadow since I first heard introducing. Don't knock it because it's different. Yes it's upbeat and quite poppy, but who gives a F*CK, it's still damn good. Maybe once you have all put the years of sweat and hard work into producing music like these guys have, your comments might be worth something, till then go back to surfing porn and smoking bongs, WANKERS!!
Um...it's endtroducing not introducing. You're such a huge fan you can't even get the name of the album right. Listen to "Why Hip Hop Sucks in '96" and maybe you'll understand.
Thanks for that, I'm so glad there are Loudmouth Hero's out there like yourself to point out the little things and miss the point entirely, why don't you take your opinion deep fry it in grease and swallow it with your pride and whatever your favorite fast food staple is, get fat and die young like a good little consumer. PS what do you weigh (just curious?)
im totaly agre its crap nothing more nothing less he was so perfect on entroducing and private press this is some kind of funny stupid black rap not shadow as before its a shame
Be sure to check out the new Shop on the official DJ Shadow site. They updated it with a ton of new products including DJ Shadow Handmade. DJ Shadow Handmade brings you tons of new material that you can get inscribed with your name on the vinyl or cd. These products make great gifts or collectors items.
Hey if you like DJ Shadow be sure to check out the relaunch of his website on August 3rd. The launch is bringing tons of new products(including digital downloads) as well as a new look and feel. Check it out on Monday.
Who cares if it's main stream, as long as it's good.
I've been listening to shadow since introducing came out, this is definitely a lot different, but you can't expect the same album over & over again, that would be selling out.
I respect it for its amazing production quality, but there's just so much less to it than most of shadows music. Not that its bad though, just a lot less interesting.

that is the original shadow, you are looking for his music back in a time. the artists do what they do and you can spam the same cd from 2002 if you want.
this just show the ability and diversity of his music each album he makes is a reinvention of himself in a greater form than before. this song proves we don't need this pop rap that is being crammed down the throat of the hip hop nation. If you dont like shadow suck it . I've been a fan since entroducing and every new I hate until the third or fourth listen. open your mind and shut your mouth.
GAY!!! come on shadow. y would u even bother doing shit with Q-tip..dude has been off since he tried doing his own thing
