This is alien/extraterrestrial music for sure. Should have been used as the theme for District 9.

eh
arguably so
but pierre schaeffer in france was fucking with turntables before cage. but, i still dont think either of them really contributed aesthetically to the creation of hiphop. you think grand master flash knew about cages whole body work? no. he knew about funk records and turntables.

thanks for the knowledge about pierre schaeffer! grand master flash, while he was really dope, is not a standard of hip hop.

It's actually one of the etudes from "petals" but then was used in Delusion.
