Am I the only one who feels this album is a huge ode to the first few Phil

singing In the Air tonight, excellent melodies and slight RB singing style?

I didn't really dig any of the new Kanye stuff I heard, but I like him
fine. He is an open-minded music fan. Soultek (aka Echospace and sorta
part of Deepchord now? Dunno) was at a studio in Chicago a few years
back and was recording/playing some of his stuff...Kanya was hanging
out in the commons
In what ways do you think hip hop producers have pushed technology
forward lately? I don't think they've pushed that much on anything
for the last twenty years or so. I think a majority of popular hip
hop over the last few decades have just been a series of funk and soul
samples cut up for pop
timbaland.

I can't get past the overused vocoder. I'm really sick of every
rapper nowadays using them, all the time. I never really liked top 40
rap, but the last few years seem especially atrocious as far as
mainstream stuff goes. I think there must have been a fire sale at
the vocoder shop this year,
The jerk store has a sale on you!

There's an nice interpolation of Tears For Fears' Memories Fade on his
