Hey folls, sorry if I'm late with this but I just saw a new DJ Shadow video on MTV Jams. DJ Shadow featuring Keak Da Sneak and Turf Talk. It was some straight hyphy joint. When did Shadow start doing hyphy music?

    Shadow has NEVER been about the slaps mayne so pardon my disconnection. Shadow has always been about tracks that sound like background music from art house movie soundtracks.

    I'm saying Chan Dog. You never got the newsletter. BTW the latest random bay song of the moment is called "Got My Vans on But They Look Like Sneakers". Sounds like some young dudes made it. Its bad but kinda good because its so bad.

    Well, that song has been around for a few months now. It was even featured on this essential Bay mixtape



    The man obviously has a wider taste in music than people give him credit for.

    There is another one that is similarily foolionic called "yadididamean" that i kinda like too. If I was 15 it would probably be the truth to me.

    I have never questioned Shadow's taste in music. I read a very serious Miami Bass interview with Shadow a few years back and that fool broke down the whole history of Miami Bass music. I know he has a serious record collection as well. I have just never been that interested in the records he produces. I'm just suprised that he is doing hyphy records.

    It's alright, so are probably most of the people who are still waiting for an other "Entroducing".

    yeah, I was just about to ask. Just listened to that "Funky Skunk" mix today, some great southern sounds on it.

    I was talking about his production hommie. Never heard any "slaps" from Shadow.

    Someone post that interview where Shadow refers to this song as "a Bay classic".

    Why is it that nobody is calling Shadow "Josh" these days?

    I think he's trying to crossover.. Blazing Downtempo.. he's been there, done that. Bay's gettying a lot o hype lately and he probably wants to ride the crest and sell some records.

    Seven posts in and this alias is already growing tiresome.

    Even before his blazing down-tempo days, Shadow produced for Paris. Throw in considerations of his early Solesides work which was very bass-centric (see: Send Them) as well as many of his various mixes and it shouldn't surprise anyone that Shadow is now choosing to do some hyphy tracks.

    Let us not "consider" that crap.

    How does that relate to the music he makes? I've known plenty of people that I respect as collectors but whose music didn't do anything for me.

    Not even hating. Just wondering what that has to do with anything.
