I know I'll get chastised for this, but I was
pretty disappointed by Handsome Boy Modeling
School. There are some funny samples (Chris
Elliott!!), and a host of extremely talented
guest artists, but the lyricists don't impress
and the DJ's don't pull any special tricks
either. In fact, for all the names on this one
(Kid Koala, Mike D, Miho Hatori, Grand Puba,
Sadat X, DJ Shadow, DJ Quest, Sean Lennon,
De La, Del, El-P) this is one of the most
disappointing albums of last year.
For me, the only track that really comes together
is "The Truth", with J-Live and Roisin. The better
hip hop experiment from last year was the Anticon
comp.
