I am about to give you a lesson in the trippier-hoppier side of sci-fi Hip-hop. Let me introduce you to
Dan the Automator - Producer
Kid Koala - general wizardry - Turntablist
You don't have to be wet for Isaac Asimov to enjoy this (but a slight interest in star wars or robots or something COULD help a bit). Genuinely not much like any other album i have ever owned. I once likened it to Nextmen - Amongst the Madness but that was once. This is now. Proper hip-hop but with the best example of geekishness I/we/you could ever dream of.
It is basically focused around the how the universe at the year 3030 after it has been taken over by evil warlord robot when our saviour and rap battler Deltron "Be there for the INTERANTIONAL RAP BATTLES... THEY'RE INSUPITUOUS" and his ship come along and save the day through battle rapping. Checkout Battlesong for an example of interstellar battle-rapping if you are not well versed.
I want to go into infinite detail but I can't. I have been listening to it all morning and every 30seconds I giggle (like a little girl) to myself about how much I love that bit or I can't believe that that makes sense or what a cool little reference to the 21st century that was. The 21st century was soooo last millennium.
You got MY favourite opening track(s) to ANY album anywhere (including Kid A). Clichéd as it may be, the use of Euphoric chorals over a HEFTY beat is niiiiiiice BUT then you get Del wondering in like a rhinoceros. I remember hearing a snippet of this a long time ago, and from then on i was HOOKED. I am fairly sure anyone else would be too.
Del Tha Funkee Homosapien. POSSIBLY the COOLEST monica EVER. I'm a bit jealous. With his I'm-massive-and-intimidating (sounding) words. Rhythimically, there is a slow but definite assuredness to everything he touches (see Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz... "OH IT's THAT DUDE!") while conjuring up some amazing celestial-cerebral spacescapes.
Now Dan the Automator. If you had heard Dr. Octagon - Octagonologist you probably would not be all that surprised but what Deltron 'Zee' has to offer. You also got Handsome Boy Modelling School, Gorillaz and Kasabian. All credit to the fella. I THINK this is where he and Damon Albarn first collaborated. SO, again. Important and awesome. Tasty.
Kid Koala is some kind of audio-magician. On top of that, his album artwork is usually pure genius. He manages to blend noises, beats, spoken word, sound effect and instructions on shaping clay into captivating (not sure what to call them) tracks. Much fun to had especially trying to drunkenly sing alot the obscure noises on the tube. Try it. (maybe)
If you open the inlay of the CD you will see many more (including Damon Albarn - more props to him I guess. He is annoyingly, actually talented. Sickening really). All of whom are worth a listen on their own. So. Go. Do. It.
All is well with the Cosmos
