Overstuffed with information, it's almost a scholarly approach to Public Enemy and rap music, which is usually interesting, if not always fun to read. It's best to try and read this in one or two sittings if possible, as the book jumps around in time periods frequently and makes connections in different parts of the book that require close attention. Overall, a high quality entry in the 33 1/3 series that could have benefitted from a little streamlining. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Christopher R. Weingarten provides a thrilling account of how the Bomb Squad produced such a singular-sounding record: engineering, sampling, scratching, constructing, deconstructing, reconstructing - even occasionally stompingon vinyl that sounded too clean. Using production techniques that have never been duplicated, the Bomb Squad plunderedand reconfigured their own compositions to make frenetic splatter collages; they played samples by hand together in aroom like a rock band to create a "not quite right" tension; they hand-picked their samples from only the ugliest squawks and sirens.Weingarten treats the samples used on Nation Of Millions as molecules of a greater whole, slivers of music that retain their own secret histories and folk traditions. Can the essence of a hip-hop record be found in the motives, emotions and energies of the artists it samples? Is it likely that something an artist intended 20 years ago would re-emerge anew? This is a compelling and thoroughly researched investigation that tells the story of one of hip-hop's landmark albums. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
