Don't get it twisted. DJ Shadow is a hip-hop DJ -- at least according
to an Afrika Bambaata playlist.
"Entroducing
," DJ Shadow's seminal debut album,
embraces Soulsonic's M.C G.L.O.B.E.'s definition of hip-hop-"Punk
rock, new wave, soul/pop music, salsa, rock & roll/calypso,
reggae, rhythm &blues."
Shadow takes us there. "I have no problem delving into realms
that -- by '96 standards -- would never be considered hip-hop.
The last frontier of hip-hop is to go back to the extreme form of experimentation
while still keeping that funk. |
