@theadman024 To those arguing about whether this is trip hop or not. The term Trip Hop was coined to describe THIS SONG by Andy Pemberton in 1994. So technically, this is the definition of Trip Hop. It may be very different to what you conceptualise Trip to be (most likely MA, Portishead etc.) but it is most undisputably Trip Hop.

@newgenre201 I know you're trolling. Let me have this, though.

The purpose of sampling is not laziness. Especially not with Shadow; do you know how much time he spends in the basements of record shops just taking stacks and stacks of really old crap and sorting out what he wants to use?

No, the joy in it is taking things that otherwise would've been forgotten and lost forever to time, and letting them find new life in a completely different form from their original purpose.

Trip Hop, Hip Hop, Hop Hip, Judean's People's Front, People's Front of Judea etc etc..

who trolls a dj shadow comment section?? what a douche

[drmarkchang]

@newgenre201 I checked out your Youtube account. You don't have any tracks posted that prove how much of a musical genius you are. And even if you had uploaded your "perfect song" that has a "definitive ending", I'd bet my left nut that DJ Shadow could produce a better track before you can say "I have delusions of grandeur".

P.S. If your looking for someone who can create a perfect song, "I know someone who did". Just hit play.

@Alexito924 I dont know the song he sampled. But if you have an electric guitar. Go to your local pawn shop and grab a Wah pedal. Get a Cry Baby or a Morley if the have one. Best sound ever.

@newgenre201 Perhaps you could become a less negative and more peaceful person if you would stop judging others based on their personal preferences in life (as long as these preferences don't hurt anybody, of course). Do you really believe you have the right to dictate what other people should and shouldn't like? If you do, "sucks for u". Because you're probably kidding yourself.

[cactusnoturno]

My god, this is great...!

[Alexito924]

Hey does anyone happen to know what song DJ Shadow sampled at around 11:43 to get that psychedelic guitar sound? ?

[BobbyIsAnigga]

@DoubleBrowne you got that from wikipedia you slut.... :P

[DoubleBrowne]

@MloI I agree, music is a very personal experience, especially with an artist such as DJ Shadow. It's stupid to argue over something as trivial as what genre it falls under. That said, I personally enjoy learning about the history of the music I'm listening to. So when I saw a petty argument based on personal opinion, I thought that adding some fact to the mix may clarify things.

[Mloker61]

@DoubleBrowne I'm telling you that acquiring knowledge externally does not help you understand his music better.

[DoubleBrowne]

@Mloker61 Yes I did, along with various other sources. Why?

[Mloker61]

@DoubleBrowne did you read that off wikipedia?

[dosadi512]

the golden age of trip-hop..

[tacosaucemafia]

@DoubleBrowne uh just because some guy says it's something doesn't make it that! Shadow says he comes from hip hop and is a hip hop guy.
