do you feel that the Quammum collective are getting too mainstream with their sounds?
consider The Craft, Escape 2 Mars, or the last several albums/mixtapes that Lyrics Born has put out. their sound has changed a lot in the last 10 years. i guess i'd say that Lyrics Born has softened up more than Gift of Gab, but they're both really becoming "poppy" for lack of a better word.
i'm not sure if i'm complaining about this or not. The Craft is a really great album. Escape 2 Mars is phenomenal. but when you look at them side by side with the early stuff, they just don't compare. i mean, listen to Melodica or Latyrx - The Album. or even Solesides Greatest Bumps. those are some down and dirty rhymes!
now mix up Variety Show Season Pho, Truth Is Love, and Escape 2 Mars. it's a whole different world.
i understand that artists evolve. and that it's 10 years on. i just miss the old Quannum. the DJ Shadow days. oh yeah
