Curumin, JapanPopShow
2007 | Label: Quannum Projects / IODA

Loping, Shuggie Otis-style funk? Sure, we got that — with Portuguese vocals, natch. Check track two. How about dancehall toasting over a mid-90s indie-rap boom-bap track? You got it, and look, here's Blackalicious guesting on the track! Just to be nice, I'll put some rattling woodblock on there. Also, if you're interested, we are serving mariachi horns over toy piano (Salto No Vacuo Com Joelhada") that morphs into rapidly multiplying drumbeat patterns and squelchy, wet synths. In two minutes. Welcome to JapanPopShow: we are Curumin, and if you don't find at least one track you love on this album, you are not from planet Earth.

Major Disappointment - Dry & Awkward

Murgatroyd

After hearing his very good set on KCRW I downloaded this right away. What a letdown! The production is dry as a bone and his hip hop pretensions are awkward and lame. For a similar concept, check out the genius of Gecko Turner. This non-starter didn't last a week on my iPod.
