What I listened to today: "Show Me What You Got", Busta Rhymes
Busta Rhymes sampling my favorite Stereolab song ("Come And Play in The Milky Night"). J Dilla beat! Kinda archetypical for Busta, near-miss brilliance, great production, incredible rap flow… & an overlong chorus that drags the whole thing down (the chorus *really* needed a professional singer for guest vocals).
Listen careful on verse 1 for the rap equivalent of a oner. Rhyme scheme is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
What I'm listening to today: "Eutow" (live at Flex/Vienna 1996), Autechre
These days each Autechre tour is like a unique album, but their live sets have always been full of unreleased tracks, alternate versions, mashups¹. Here's a completely screwed version of the danciest track from Tri Repetae++, feeling way slower without changing the tempo, something mesmerizing, a decaying orbit around a black hole, spiraling inexorably inward
