Why ain't anyone discussing the new fucking Deltron album?
I have mixed feelings overall, but there are some insane moments, especially when played loud on headphones. Still, it's a bit heavy on comedy and skits and light on post-apocalyptic political allegory. And it is seriously missing the dramatic instrumentals and high profile, melancholy pop samples.
After two listens I definitely think Del's flow sounds amazing as always, but there are too many guest stars (Zach De La fuckin Rocha? Fuck no, thank you. I will never listen to that track all the way through) and the project has lost some of the original's surprisingly touching, human moments.
Btw: when did this become everyone's favorite hip hop album? I bought it the week it came out and I couldn't get it at Best Buy or any other retailer, so I had to make the rounds to the small shops. Finally I found it (one copy) at a great store that I still buy vinyl from, but I was the only one in my part of the metro area to give a fuck, and that was because Del was my then favorite emcee ever.
Then Kurt Loder said something about it on Mtv, using Damon Albarn and his "definitive" single verse as a selling point, and I think it got some play, but I had no idea it had become such a big freakin' deal. Maybe that made everyone nervous. I don't know.
You guys listen and tell me what you think.
