http://thru-you.com/Latepass?This shit is nuts. Basically, Kutiman samples / cuts up many many youtube videos and makes 7 very dope tracks out of them. You kind of have to see it to believe it. TRUST.http://thru-you.com/

    There's another thread that (in my opinion) is waaaay too short for something this incredible.

    Bare with me dudes, okay technically it's nothing short of brilliant. I mean I'm not sure who would even think of this and be able to execute it so damn well. I can see this really being a runaway hit

    But personally, I'm not really blown away by the tracks with the exception of I'm a Lady and the talk box joint. It just doesn't hit me.

    It's scary how easy you make this.

    Yeah, it's a cool idea but most of it doesn't hold up musically, which is what matters. He's no Josh.

    It's absolutely brilliant what Kutiman has done.

    I think its the project as a whole that matters. So yeah, maybe if he released an album with those beats it would fall under tepidity but he didn't.
    Its a whole video/art/music project that falls under facemelt IMO.

    Yeah I mean, to me it's not really about the music specifically. I don't really care if the "songs" hold up, for that I will listen to people who are just focused on making music. This is different, and IMO it's pretty incredible.

    These comments are like the musical/youtube/pastiche version of "not feeling her elbows" right??

    Yea those comments do fall under that category. People always want a reason to hate on something, so they will find any way to do so. Kutiman is executing a concept and an idea , he is not releasing these tracks for you to play out in the club (or is it clurb?). Bottom line , this is some editing and blending!

    If you go to the youtube versions, they have links to some of the original 'samples'. pretty interesting, and not in a taketheshittothebreaks.com way, but you can really see the effort he's gone to and what a good job he's done.

    But if this "Kutiman" person is a musician, the actual music should be of quality rather than his video editing skills, right? Would anyone here actually listen to this in their car or headphones without watching the video clips? Doubt it.
  • Hotsauce84Hotsauce84 8,450 Posts
    I would. Specifically the talkbox one and "I'm New."
  • Jonny_PaycheckJonny_Paycheck 17,825 Posts
    Yeah but the point is TO watch it WITH the video clips.

    Jesus.

    uh, no. The videos would be pretty boring without the concept attached to them too. I really don't think you can deconstruct it like that - you wouldn't watch the video on mute, would you?

    regardless, some of the music is pretty damn good, I think.

    And Kutiman is a ridiculous musician. he played almost everything on his LP>>>

    SERIOUSLY. If you don't like this get da f*ck out of this thread or come up with something better. Otherwise shut da hell up.
    I'm fed up of all this BS from people who aren't doing anything. Quit nitpicking every little detail.

    I still haven't managed to check this out!

    Due to overwhelming traffic we had to go down to re-charge (again). Working on it. Check back later.

    dude, all the videos are now on youtube itself.

    links to all can be found in the other thread - http://www.soulstrut.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=1280725&an=0&page=1#Post1280725

    Read-up on your read-ups, ladies.

    OST:

    So just because someone isn't "coming with something better" they aren't allowed to critique? I guess that pretty much ether's almost every critic ever.

    Dudes are too caught up on the "CONCEPTUAL ARC" =P




    I mean if we're talking about projects like this I would pick Exile's "Radio" album any day of the week over this. Not only a unique concept but shit is dope regardless if you knew what his intention was.

    Fukk that dude.

    I found out about it from the other thread and I think it absolutely shreds

    The comparison to the grey album is apt in that this is an art project that will bring some serious shine to the producer's career.

    I doubt it will help Kutiman as much as it did danger mouse, but way more people are going to check for his next project based on the obvious skill displayed in making these videos/edits.

    It's too hot of a concept to try to execute with lukewarm music.

    Exile just said "tell them I think that Kutiman shit is ridiculous!"


    Take that for what it's worth. I think it's a pretty brilliant idea. You guys don't even surprise me with the hate anymore.

    Some of you guys are nuts. That s**t is pretty ill.

    For sheer entertainment value, I'll watch this over some dude pounding on mpc any day.
