It is truly awful, that's correct
don't really like any of the basic channel reggae cover bits either. i feel like i should, but there's something about them that doesn't sit right with me

He hates dubstep and pendulum. He doesn't have that sliced white bread background you've got. Hes aristocratic. He's never had a zit. That's the difference.

I wonder if they use a band or recreate the dub sounds all on synth/computer/rhythm box or whatever. if so, that could account for the cool but not quite there feel.

Awful, as in awesome.

Everyone knows and loves this choon I should bloody well hope but seeing a Michael Jordan montage set to it in "The Last Dance" on Netflix/ESPN really brought out something I'd sorta missed in it: ATTITUDE.
Easy (for me) to think of Rakim as an almost dry, scholarly rapper (cos he's portrayed as the first rapper of that sort, maybe?) but there was a connection I could see between how he rapped and Jordan played. Showing off. Flexing. Insouciant genius.
was gonna say you'd be like Xhaka as team captain but he put in some effort during Arteta's brief stint so...

As much as I agree with Luka re: Dilla's postmortem canonisation, listening to an instrumental like this makes me think wow this guy really was special. Something about how the sub-bass here propels this along — and so deep its actually subliminal bass. And how that thumps along miles below those suspended notes, hanging in the air... Bit wanky? Yup. But that but that sense of spaciousness is important in Dilla's pre-Donuts stuff. And I'm trying to dance about architecture here ffs
E.g.
Dilla I suppose is one of the unwitting progenitors of this now insanely popular "lo-fi hip hop instrumental" genre.
I guess you could argue that the reason he was underrated in life was cos his style is so unassuming that it easily becomes a sort of aural wallpaper.
(This is one of my favourite Dilla tunes, with the vocal, but worth listening to the instrumental to appreciate its subtleties.)
