not sure about the wu tang thing, danny,
but on panacea's upcoming album for
mille plateaux (out in oct), he samples
the heck out of public enemy on *a lot*
of the songs. now i love public enemy,
and i like panacea, but in 1999, i don't
think anyone should be *still* running
"yeah, boyeee"-- and all of those other
PE things that were used ad infinitum
back when everyone else was doing
it--over their tracks, especially when
it sounds so tired. this ruined his
album for me because he's done it
on so many tracks, that and the sex
related interludes in german (comiing
across as private jokes interesting
only to those involved)
