Think Differently (Wu Tang meets the Indie Culture)
 

Got it yesterday. Dope as fuck. Anyone else heard it? Discuss.

Asta!!

I've actually seen this album around some music blogs that I frequent and have been slightly curious.

In terms of popular music, the only one I'm really into is Classic Rock (I don't really consider Jazz or Classical popular music anymore), but Indie is starting to intrigue me, so seeing that Wu Tang is doing something with it, if I hear many good reviews, I'll no doubt get it.

I got one track, preservation from a mp3 blog a couple weeks ago. I like the loop they sampled in the back of the record. I look forward to listen to the rest of the album.

That said, there are some awesome tracks on it. RZA and MF Doom?!? Just outstanding! Aesop Rock and Del Tha Funky Homosapien... WOW!

I actually bought this album, and I'm glad I did because it's totally worth the cash. Also, I couldn't find it for download, but that's beside the point.

No one should download this one. Support the Wu. It's definitely worth the cash. Solid album.

Without me having heard anything from this...

How is it 'indie'?

good question, i'm not completely sure. the artists are slightly less mainstream...perhaps that's it.

i heard it a few months ago and was a little underwhelmed. i didn't think there was anything particularly wrong with it, i just didn't feel compelled to listen to it repeatedly.

I suspect it's indie in the traditional sense - ie, not on a major record label. That's just a guess, as I don't think I've come across it anywhere yet. Given the tight budget I'm on these days I'm not spending nearly as much time as I'd like in the local record shops.

Underground emcees are the same thing as "indie rock" except it's rap. Just basically means artists who are well known but under the radar.

So have you heard the new Ghostface? Has 4 Doom tracks, think it's got a few J-Dilla tracks... Ghostface doesn't seem to lose anything with different producers than his usual obvious choice.

Had it for a little over a week, and it's outstanding! I don't like the first song, but outside of that, I let it go all the way through.

I'll have to check it out again(Ghost)...I wasn't too impressed..It wasn't Ironman but I dunno gotta peep it again.

Asta!!

anyone who uses the term "indie" as a genre is an idiot. those tight shirts must be cutting of the circulation to the brain.

Okay

Asta!!
