The FTMMTB 2K7 Round One: Cut-Chemist vs. Jay-Z
Jay-Z - Kingdom Come
I like: I like it when does that thing where he says "woo."
Do not want: Well, Jay-Z, I guess.
Standouts: Hollywood, Oh My God, Show Me What You Got
Conclusion:Even Jigga is subject to my internal bpm standards, and all but two of his songs fail here. My theory is that everyone has an internal beat-per-minute, and our musical tastes are driven to find a match for that pacing. Isn't hip-hop supposed to make you want to move? All but two songs on this album do nothing for my usual propensity for rhythmless head nodding.
Cut Chemist - The Audience's Listening
I like: The tracks I like are heavy on drum & bass and light on extended scratching solos or samples from popular songs from the past.
Do not want: DJ albums altogether? I thought an album like this would be great for just putting on at a party and ignoring 1 through 12. The problem is that there's a couple really annoying tracks in between the ones I do like. Furthermore, I haven't hosted a party. Ever. In addition, speaking from a completely uneducated perspective, I kind of get the feeling CC's sound is a little dated.
Standouts: (My 1st) Big Break, The Garden, What's the Altitude, Metrorail Thru Space
Conclusion: Worth keeping for the singles I like and it gets the nod in the first round, but it probably won't advance far.
