dj shadow.- the outsider

[Synthemesc]

Anyone heard this yet? It looks like pure hyphyness. Definitely doesn't look like what I was hopin for. Man I sound like a jaded hip hop internet douchbag.

[evs]

we have audio samples up on the site. it's not all hyphy. even i questioned it at first but after giving it a couple listens i really like it. i wouldn't say it his best ever, but it's definately well rounded and not your typical expectations for a shadow album. sort of a mix between everything he's done but refined to a point. there's some stuff that sounds like his last album some that sound kind of early dirty era and then there's some unkle type stuff and then the hyphy.

it's good.

[FirstDegree]

i like the song with q-tip and lateef...thats about it. all the other songs are just average. not a horrible album,just not up to dj shadow standards for me

[tgone]

It's really hard to categorize this album since it's like nothing I've heard before.

The track with Q-Tip and Lateef is one of the best tracks. I like the one with David Banner too.

[WesSezSo]

I need to listen to the full album first...but so far, just from listening to the samples on the site, I'm not feelin it.:cool:

[Synthemesc]

I read an article awhile back about he just had twin girls. So I was hopin it would inspire him to make some smooth laid back happy music or somethin soulful.

funny, i was just about to start a thread on this...

haven't heard anything from this album, not even the hyphy single "3 freaks", but i read the urb article today and it provided some insight as to what made shadow go in the direction he has gone. he stopped using the mpc, learned pro tools, basically started from scratch with everything. sounded like this album is not all hyphy, as evs said, but its a heavy influence. i dont know why people see that as a bad thing, i think its good to draw from all styles as he consistently does. the movement is blowing up for a reason... its good music (for the most part).

little 20 sec audio clips are not a good indicator. especially when ur talkin bout someone like shadow.

[Synthemesc]

Nothin wrong with hyphy. But there's already a grip of dudes masterin that sound. To me shadow, especially when he dropped endtroducing, has a reputation for being an innovator. And makin a solid hyphy album just isn't innovative. Anyways I haven't even heard it yet so I'll just have to wait. I'm sure it'll sound dope turned up in the ride.

[Marklar]

hyphy es no bueno

[Dr. Kris Knacker]

its going to be a very dj friendly record.

have to agree....didnt like it at first....but its grown on me

[Ipatch]

I'm kinda hyped for this record... although as much as I'm diggin "Enuff", I'm hoping that isn't the best song on there.

I haven't really felt anything Shadow has done since Entroducing so I'm glad he's making things more interesting. I don't consider him much of an innovator... whether it was good timing or just plain luck he's been fortunate to have people on his nuts for years despite not having the most outstanding track record imo.

I'm glad he's pretty much giving the finger to all the nerds out there. My boy Jacob had the best line... when I told him the deal about the LP and mentioned that Shadow expects to lose fans, he replied "Yeah, the kind of fans who can't get girlfriends."

[tgone]

At first I didn't like this album. I took me about 5 listens and now I really like it. I guess I couldn't handle the change at first. Shadow doesn't give a f*ck and it shows -- there's other producers like this but he actually made it sound good. The David Banner track is hard. The second track is amazing. Q-Tip and Lateef made a nice club track. The hyphy stuff is cool too.

[skibadee]

I haven't really felt anything Shadow has done since Entroducing so I'm glad he's making things more interesting.

"Yeah, the kind of fans who can't get girlfriends."

(I don't know how to separate quotes and make them look pretty so i'm gonna just do it this way)

I agree though... Entroducing was dope, but i didn't think anything he'd done since that point has been ALL that great.

I'm definitely gonna buy this album. I'm not a big fan of the "hyphy" movement and have sorta turned a shoulder to it (only because it all sounds relatively the same to me), but i saw the video for turf talk and keak da sneak on in demand and that song is the shit. so yea, i'm looking forward to this.

and i just liked that last quote, thats all

[Ferdie]

I'm looking forward to it coming out. Should be a good album, it's been awhile. And his website is great! Nice deisgn and easy to check out new stuff. :cool:

[WesSezSo]

I've gotten over it...its just a few songs. This albums is about 6 tracks short of incredible...Shadow can do what he wants as far as I'm concerned...he shouldn't be confused as to why some people are upset about the hyphy shit on The Outsider...people who don't like that kind of music, don't expect it from Shadow...he's supposed to be a refuge for people who want something different. We should admire the fact that he took a risk with some of those songs...but the Shadow we know and have come to love, is always trying to stay one step ahead, it should come as no surprise. He may not lose fans with this one, and true fans wouldn't turn their backs on him just because of a few tracks like that.
I'll compare my frustration though, with my subscription to SPIN Magazine. I started reading it a while ago...one issue caught my eye...it was an article on this so-called emo-rap movement, and Slug was on the cover. I decided to subscribe to it because I appreciated that article, it featured people that I listen to and reviewed several underground albums. I thought that ever since that issue, there would be a change in what they reviewed relating to hip-hop. This is a magazine that prides itself on covering the latest in indy rock and alternative music. An answer to Rolling Stone...a place where the hipsters can go to read about the music that speaks to them. So when I get my fucking issue in the mail I don't want to see a review of The Game's latest album. They can find some of the most obscure indy rockers out there but can't seem to find enough indy hip-hop acts to review. Bullshit in my opinion, and why? Because the majority of the people that faithfully read SPIN, that crowd , don't give a shit about Juveniles next album...they just skip passed it. Which is exactly what I've been doing with The Outsider, with any album, if I don't like the song, I'll skip it. Its not gonna ruin my day, and I don't feel the need to defend or argue about anything I sincerely hate.
So fuck SPIN and fuck the songs I don't like on The Outsider. I didn't cancel my subscription, and I'm not about throw Shadow's new album 'out the window on the freeway'

it's alright, got some dope tracks but I think i'm gonna have to give this one some time. i think it would help with the 'freshness' level if i still had a car to bump it in. Radio shack headphones + my ipod don't exactly create the best listening experience

it's spin... the white people version of vibe.. :D wtf do you expect.. WeTarTed..

personally, i'm feelin this album as a whole... although the nump track is a bit challenging to the ear.

[WesSezSo]

when it comes to reviewing hip-hop, SPIN's staff is brainless. Only every now and then is there actually some good indy hip hop reviews. This month's has Pigeon John, MF Grimm and an article on Psalm One. But they are really wasting space in thier magazine everytime they review something so blatantly "not SPIN" that it is getting WeTarTed. I'm not renewing. That magazine is garbage imo.:cool:

[MONOTONOUS]

i think it sucks

Yeah... i'm not feelin it, really. maybe 2-3 tracks, but thats it. oh well, gonna go exchange it and get something else on my list

"I'm sure you're probably thinking ,'Yeah, something's changed with him'," says Josh "DJ Shadow" Davis as he tries to explain a little of the life-changing journey he's been on since his last LP, The Private Press, was released in 2002. That the change has been dramatic is evident on even the briefest of exposures to The Outsider, his fabulous, fascinating, fire-breathing third album: but it's also there in the way he speaks, the way he looks, and the iron-clad confidence he now brings to his work.

The Outsider is a record that will confound those who believed they had Shadow pigeonholed. Working with several different vocalists, and in styles spanning everything from hyphy, the Bay Area's newest hip hop hybrid, to folk; from aggressive hardcore rock to left-field alternative dance music, the album is an almost schizophrenic collection from an artist to whom loving music and making music are just two sides of the same coin. Long-term fans need have nothing to fear his power to conjure and affect an emotion by collaging samples, voices and fragments of long-forgotten recorded dialogue remains undimmed but the sense here is that, at last, this is the real Shadow, in the raw. It sounds and feels, simply, like the record he's been yearning to make.

"There are songs with rappers, songs with vocalists," he explains. "There are songs that are all live instruments; songs that are all me and keyboards; songs that are all samples. But here's the thing: while I was making it, people would hear a track and like it, then they'd say, 'Why don't you do a whole album like this? This could be your rap album', if it was a rap track, 'then you can go back to doing what you normally do'. But I can't do that, because that's not who I am."

The record was put together from disparate elements over nearly three years. Artifact (Instrumental) is a relic of Shadow's work on an abandoned solo LP by former Rage Against The Machine front man Zack De La Rocha. 3 Freaks, which features the hyphy emcees Keak Da Sneak and Turf Talk, was the impetuous, inspired result of Shadow's love-at-first-listen affair with the Bay's answer to crunk. Seein' Thangs, featuring Mississippi's finest, David Banner, was supposed to include a rap by Mystikal, but he was in prison: so was Shadow's second choice, Pastor Troy. By the time Davis went back to Banner to ask him to add a second verse, Katrina had devastated America's southern shores, a disaster that couldn't help but colour Banner's rap. Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno and Christopher Karloff were introduced to Shadow by his engineer, and The Tiger was the standout result. And even Bay Area icon E-40 is in there, rapping about "the legendary DJ Shadow", suggesting that this Outsider really is anything but.

The key to understanding how all these different voices and inspirations are able to coexist on the same record is to remember that Shadow is as much a fan as a musician. Outside the records he has contributed to as a recording artist, he has built an enviable rep as a mixtape DJ and curator of an idiosyncratic musical archive. The all-45 mixes Brainfreeze and Product Placement, with his friend and fellow producer-DJ Cut Chemist, revolutionised the art of funk DJ-ing and had a massive impact on the obsessive world of funk collecting, while his Schoolhouse Funk compilations have rescued some amazing slices of that most elusive of musical genres high school marching band funk from history's trash can (or, at least, America's thrift stores). But in the studio he has often felt constrained by the massive expectations that came after the release of his first album, and the incredibly devoted cult fandom that was attracted to it.

Since he took his enviable talent and magpie ear for musical jewels overground with the release of the acclaimed debut album Endtroducing... in 1996, Shadow has probably spent more time than he cares to admit being what other people want him to be. In cahoots with his first patron and early mentor, Mo' Wax label boss and fellow DJ James Lavelle, he made the lion's share of the music on the 1998 U.N.K.L.E. album, Psyence Fiction. By the time he released The Private Press, he had taken his chosen musical metier emotive instrumental music, created entirely from samples as far as it could go. From the haunting Giving Up The Ghost to Monosyllabik's obsessive methodology (the entire track was created by stretching, treating and manipulating samples from one funk single, in a process akin to aural stop-frame animation), it was the ultimate Shadow LP.

Though all these endeavours, though, Shadow remained the starry-eyed rap fan who'd been introduced to hip hop as a teen by the college radio station in the Californian town he grew up in and with which he shares a surname. On the sleeve of Endtroducing..., he explained the record as being the product of "a lifetime of vinyl culture", and The Private Press might as well have carried the same epithet. Yet they have only been able to tell half of the story: and The Outsider a record titled because that's how Davis sees himself, in relation to the music business, to the hardcore rap he has always loved but which his fans erroneously presume he sets himself above is about filling in some blanks.

Two things happened to change Shadow and his music. The first was the discovery that, when his wife found she was expecting twins in 2003, her pregnancy turned out to be monoamniotic. This rare condition "you're four times more likely to be struck by lightning," he says means that twins develop in the same sac in the womb. The couple now have two healthy daughters, but only after months of torment during which most medical wisdom suggested that not only the children, but the mother, were unlikely to survive.

Then, while in London working on The Outsider, Shadow was being driven to his hotel after a late night recording session when his cab driver fell asleep at the wheel and ran a red light.

The minicab hit a people-carrier broadside: no-one was seriously injured, but had they arrived at the junction a split second earlier, Davis would almost certainly have been killed. "Those two things blew my mind," he says, "and I can't go back. It was like a light switch being flicked. I guess I was an eternal 23-year-old for seven years, and when it all went down I became a man. Sometimes I think it would have made me take less risks, and be more demure and thankful and calm, but it actually made me wanna take a stand on everything. After all that, I realised, not only is life too short, but it could end at any time, so I really can only do what I really want to do. That's when I went home and made Three Freaks. And I suddenly felt very confident in the direction I wanted to go."

It's a confidence that certainly hasn't been misplaced, and those life-changing lessons have been most assuredly learned. By abandoning himself once and for all to the instincts of his inner fan, Shadow has made the record that best represents who he is and what he wants to be, and that shows, to borrow a phrase from another hip hop pioneer, both where he's from, and where he's at.

So fuck SPIN and fuck the songs I don't like on The Outsider. I didn't cancel my subscription, and I'm not about throw Shadow's new album 'out the window on the freeway'

wow. 6 tracks short of incredible? there's so many things in that one sentence alone that really bother me, but i'll pass on that.

there are many contradictions here, i don't know where to begin. on one hand you say 'shadow can do whatever he wants' yet you still expect him to make the album you want him to make. how do artists expect to make a living or even make music when there are people who have delegated responsibility onto them to be a refuge for people who want something different.

he never asked to be an icon, he became one with the diligence and the love he had for music. he made one album that changed the face of sampling and hip hop, but he didn't sit in the studio thinking, wow i'm going to change the world.

so for the next album, maybe he felt he had to prove something to himself. top himself.

i mean even talking about it is proposterous cause no one but shadow knows what was on his mind during any of these album sessions.

as far as i'm concerned you're in the same league with those people who booed him at the show. the minute he tries somehting new or changes up doing something you don't feel, you boo him.

you don't gotta like everything he's done, hell there are like 3 tracks i could do without on the album, but come on seriously, if he took the so called "hyphy" off you'd still be frustrated with this release.

it's not about what's on this album for most frustrated fans, it's what's not on this album.

First of all, don't ever lump me into the same category as the kind of people who booed Shadow at his show. I would NEVER, ever do that! Not in a million years. Infact, it angered me a little when I heard about that.
Secondly...Who the fuck made you the Opinion Police?...every time someone has an opinion about something, you shoot it down with some new snobby evs rant. Its a forum! Relax...we're here to discuss music...people are on this board sharing thier thoughts on DJ Shadow's new album...I'm sorry if my less snobby rant about The Outsider caused you a considerable amount of discomfort in the privacy of your own home at 7am.
...And so I ask you, when you say...

wow. 6 tracks short of incredible? there's so many things in that one sentence alone that really bother me, but i'll pass on that.

what exactly do you mean? Don't pass on that...please elaborate and enlighten us (besides the 3 track difference) on how its any different than you also saying...

you don't gotta like everything he's done, hell there are like 3 tracks i could do without on the album

So now, I hate to break it you, but you are the one contradicting yourself...and no I don't like everything he's done (especially the new album)...what was so unclear about that? I don't have to name the 6 tracks I don't like because you can probably already figure it out, people who've heard the album can figure it out...because I bet you don't like some of the exact same songs either.<<<<<thats just an observation btw, don't feel the need to come back and break that one down:cool:

Shadow can do whatever he wants because he's gotten this far and he's been pretty successful too. I don't expect him to do more of the same...people in general expect him to put out something familiar. "A refuge for something different"...different than 'hyphy'? Absolutely!

onto them to be
....um, sure:rolleyes:

You have basically just proven to us all, that you like this album only because its DJ Shadow. Whereas, someone like me can come on here, collect from an original thought process I call my own...and discuss music...wether I like it or not, without butting in and saying something like Marklar did when WackyGirl titled a thread 'I Love Hip Hop!!!'
go away and don't come back..
after finding out that she was praising her desire to see Chingy.

Would you like to meet me in there and discuss Chingy?

i take back the comment about comparing you to the people in the crowd that booed shadow. that was a big generalization. for that i apologize.

i also apologize if my intentions to defend an album and artist whom i love comes off as snobbery, i guess i'm a little too intense about music for my own sake. :confused:

however i am not sure how it is i contradicted myself? because i said i don't like 3 tracks doesn't mean that i don't think it's an incredible album. i didn't say it was classic or even qualify it with best album ever made. so please let me know.

i'm not an authority on anything really, and quite frankly i'm sure both of us got a little under each other's skin. but these passive-aggresive jabs at my character are seriously unneccesary.

i'm done with these forums. if yyou want my opinion on something ask me in person. but shit, watch out for my snobby attitude.

oh wait, no one asked me in the first place, i guess i can't just offer one.

I did return it to the store. Re-gift for x-mas would've been good if I had thought of that sooner and could find a way to shrink-wrap it. I never download albums.

all i know is i heard that e-40 track and ooooooooooooooo weeeeeeeee


That's a great song, so is the one with David Banner. Finally got ahold of the wax the other day... the "hyphy" shit is all decent at worst, but the rest of the LP other than Enuff is weak. If he hadn't half-assed it and left off the white boy shit (for lack of a better term) he woulda had a great record on his hands.
