This one was definitely new territory for me, as I've probably heard a grand total of two, perhaps three hip-hop songs in my life, and I couldn't name them if I was asked. Ninety percent of my listening is instrumental, so the vocal focus of rap music is really removed from what I look for on a record. Still, I wanted to give it a fair shot.
The fractured classical instrumentation on Thirsty Ego Raps was welcome, and I imagine it's reminiscent of 90s turntablism and sampledelic/technostalgic tunes of the heyday of sampling. I'm curious how commonplace (or how rare) plunderphonia has become in the tightfisted copyright climate of the present day.
MicShazam's summary was concise and spot-on. I appreciated the lack of posturing and token subject matter I recall pouring from streetside ghetto blasters twenty-five years ago. Still, I don't entirely understand the comedic element here, and the frequent postmodern cultural references were entirely lost on me. But that's not a fault of the record, it just doesn't speak to me, personally.
Too far outside my wheelhouse to give it a score.
