Whether your a fan of the album or hip-hip in general, heres a great post that analyzes the hip-hop classic track by track. Being a hip-hop nerd I love looking deep into the samples that are used and thought process behind the album from producers. Check out DJ Premier after hearing the Pete Rock produced “The World is Yours”
“Apparently when Premier listened to Pete Rock’s lone contribution to Illmatic, he went back to the lab, scrapped what he already had and started over. Whether this is true or not is open to debate, but it is a pleasingly romantic vision of the creative process that went into the construction of the album and a tale that confirms what you already know”
It’d be really cool to do this with more hip-hop albums. Maybe Ready to Die or Midnight Marauders? Thanks Dan Love, cool shit
