Buy Now	Endtroducing... (more) »rank: 7281 by: DJ Shadow :Album Description:DJ Shadow, a.k.a. Josh Davis, could be credited with bringing newfound introspection to the gloating sounds of hip-hop. Condensed with urban oscillations and scatological beats, Endtroducing shutters with eclectic samples and aural montages that reach beyond the constraints of hip-hop style.

While most of the tracks are compiled by layering samples from vinyl treasures found in used-record bins, the production quality of the mosaic is unmatched.

On softer, more introspective tracks, like 'A.D. 2000' and the single 'Bag Lady,' she shows amazing restraint, letting her voice ...

Released when Tupac was in jail serving time for a rape conviction and just after his recovery from being shot-up gangland-style at a recording studio, this was his most introspective piece of work to date. The heavy-hearted album opens up with a radio commentary describing the circumstances surrounding his shooting, and then plunges headfirst into Pac's infatuation with death. 'So Many Tears,' 'Death Around the Corner,' and 'If I Die 2Nite' are all dark, eerily prophetic tunes that lend credence to widespread theories which ...

After that, they could have filled the rest of the disc with crowd noise and gotten away with it, but the Sugarhill Gang had a bunch of ...
