Would somebody direct me to a review of the >new DJ Vadim LP? I didn't hear much about it when it hit the streets. >> > >It's umm....OK. Sounds too much like everybody else though. He employed >like a ton of MCs, and made tracks that sound too traditional. Don't get >me wrong, they are excellent tracks (especially the cuts with CoFlow, >Swollen Members, and Blu Rum 13), but it isn't the minimal turntable >constructions that made USSR Repetoire such a standout album. Sure, I >didn't want a rehash of old stuff, but then again I expected him to keep it >different from the rest. So, worthwhile but not groundbreaking by any >means. > >That said, anyone have dates for Vadim's US tour? Should be in late >November, but I can't find the dates anywhere. Supposedly with New Flesh 4 >Old, Killa Kella, Mr. Thing and Blu Rum 13...should be excellent. > >Me.
