DJ Shadow- 3 Freaks

[Future Proof]

I can't say that I like the track either but I have no problem with the lyrical content, I'm quite the rap-head as of late myself and listen to a lot of 3 6 Mafia, which makes those lyrics look like Disney.

It's the music itself that I have a problem with, and the same reason I only marginally like Timbaland's production. This beat is so jerky and so tryin not to flow that you can't really even nod your head to this at all, let alone dance to it. I mean for chrissakes, the beat takes a vacation on 3 and 4, what crap! That's just a me-thing but hey, at the end of the day it all boils down to if it caters to my sensibilities or not.

I can't say I'm suprised though, I know he's had deep connections to the hip-hop scene since he started and I've seen him DJ for Latryx. If he's got some crunk shit on the next album that'll be fine with me, but it just has to be crunk and dag nasty, not some wierd beat with a wierd time signature with some wierd-sounding rappers over the top.
