Okay, Ethan, what are you going to destroy?

It would bother me a whole lot more, Ethan, if the sample you're referring to was from a Rush song.

my songs to destroy are the obvious ones: the mike d song, the unkle theme (i love the sample that's like 'we had too much equipment, too many men, and little by little we went insane'. went insane = MADE A SPOTTY RECORD), that long-titled one that's the game about breaking balls, and, lord help me, fucking 'chaos'. all those are terrible. the rest of the record is near perfect.

in formal defense of the kool g. rap song, i'd like say that after hearing marley marl toss off some of his worst work on the man, i'm just happy to hear him finally get a good beat to go on. not to lose any cred, but i'm all up on the premier mix of his new single for the same reason, the man deserves to rhyme over better than than a slowed-down biz markie b-side. fuck you, marley marl, but damn, 'it's a demo' was fly.

and hey, and it might be rush. you know that one that's like 'LIVING ON THE LIGHTED STAGE, THE ROACHES, NEON (something...wheels?) BLAH BLAH BLAH GILDED CAGE!!!!'? it wasn't from that. but it doesn't sound like that.

URGENT UPDATE: kool g. still hot, rest of album still shaky.

i actually want to see people break down and assess the pre-gorillaz (all music being divided into epochal pre- and post-gorillaz factions) blunted beatzzz combo that is UNKLE. i mean, it's all like the soundtrack to a 2003 dawson's creek episode, ain't it? YOU BE THE JUDGE.
