(http://www.cnsp.com/jacob/). 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.
