My friend played a little Flying Lotus in the car yesterday. Once I got over the oddness of it it kind of felt like a gimmick. The rapper wasn't particularly interesting most of the time, and I was just left with hip hop beats over jazz that didn't seem all that different from anything I could find on an actual jazz album. I may warm up over time, as it might be music that could reveal more of itself over time, but at the moment I am dubious and unimpressed.
