'superstar' is good. the rest of the cd is okay. the beats generally suck (surprise surprise) but there are like 3-4 good hooks and only a few annoying verses. the song with snoop is awes and his verse is A+

when i eventually delete food + liquor and the cool off my hard drive i'll end up keeping like 8-10 songs combined.

I thought "American Terrorist" w/ Santos was just about the best song on Food & Liquor (btw fuck album titles that insert the artist's name like both the Lupe albums, shit is so dumb), can't stand "Superstar," though. Still boycotting The Cool, just when I'd forgotten about the Tribe thing he went and had that political debate w/ Rhymefest that proved once again that Rhymefest is sharp as hell and Lupe is dumber than dirt.

Anyone else heard the Beyond Hamsterdam album? I've enjoyed Darkroom's stuff before (they once sent me a bunch of stuff when I was writing about The Wire music for my college paper a few years ago), but this seems cleaned up for a wider audience. One of the things I loved about Hamsterdam (Best of Baltimore) was how rough it sounded, and how it seemed almost cobbled together.
Though the music is great. I do like the other Wire soundtrack more (tho PFM is right: 5 Down in the Hole's *is* too many)

i already made a thread for it (although you can discuss it here too obviously): 2 official soundtracks to HBO's The Wire out in January
don't necessarily know what you mean about "cleaned up for a wider audience," though, the 4 Darkroom-produced tracks are exactly as they appeared on the Hamsterdam mixtapes, as are the 4 or 5 other tracks I'd heard on other local releases before. but then, I guess taking any song out of the context of an 80-minute mixtape full of voice mail interludes and putting it into a concise 40-minute compilation will probably make it sound a little different.

That's exactly what I meant by 'cobbled together.' Listening to the mixtapes was sort of (for me) about the experience of aurally submerging in that particular scene. (If that makes any sense.)
― Mordechai Shinefield, Sunday, 13 January 2008 06:50 (sixteen years ago) link
oh, it makes sense, i aurally submerge myself in that particular scene on a daily basis. Darkroom definitely make some of the least cobbled together-sounding mixtapes around here, though.
