The track by DJ Shadow, do you think he's sampling Chuck D "bear witness" to
deliberately evoke the track by Q-Bert, of the same name, from Dr. Octagon?
If so, why? Is he frontin on Q-Bert? If not, isn't that kinda played?
Plus the other PE sample was used similarly by DJ Punk Roc. Shit gets
annoying after a while.
Roisin and J-Live do "The Truth" soooo nice. Anyone know how to pronounce
Roisin?

Listen to any recommendations yourself, and *then* make up your own mind ;-)
I've got to say, from the few listens I've given it already, I really like
this album. The first track "Rock'n'Roll (Could Never Hip Hop Like this)"
is an energetic tune with Kid Koala and Money Mark contributing (not that
I've picked out there parts yet!), and there is a track with dj Shadow,
that has his trademark drum sound. My favourite track at the mo' is "The
Truth" with Roisin from Moloko. To be honest, I'd probably buy anything
that had Prince Paul's name on it!
I'd recommend you give this a listen. It's also a cool name.
Other recent purchases:
The Arsonists - As the world burns
Metabolics - The M-virus
The 57th Dynasty - The spoken word
Three pretty decent hip hop albums. I've not bought a lot of hip hop in the
last couple of years, so these may not be standout albums, but I like them.
Still the Joint - Sugarhill remixed.
A hit and miss album that is worth getting for the good moments. The Double
Dee and Steinski remix of "Voice mail" by The Sugarhill Suite is quality.
The Freddy Fresh remix of Grandmaster Flash Adventures on the Wheels of
Steel is one that I really don't like (the Scratch Perverts version on here
is much better).
That's about all I've listened to out of all the stuff I've bought recently
(too many records, too little time to listen to them all. Oh well, shit
happens).
