DJ Shadow - Entroducing... Dropped 20 Years Ago

[Deltron]

- favorite song on the album


Some Remixes from the 20th Anniversary re-release:



One of my favorite albums, ever. I play it at least once a month, it still sounds fresh as fukk too....might be my most listened to album. Love to throw it on and just let it play in the background when I'm doing other stuff. A classic in my eyes, personal or otherwise. Pretty dope he's from the Bay too.

One of my favorite albums

 

[Grand Conde]

No hate...but I don't get people's obsession with this album. Its cool though.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Undeniable classic and a relic of times we won't see again. You can't get away with sampling like that today, legally/money wise.

This shyt is theme music. I used to listen to it nearly every day while walking to class, barber shop, etc.

How? It's a crazy album entirely made up for sAmples. I think that speaks for itself

 

[SoulController]

Building Steam With A Grain of Salt is one of my fav songs ever

bought this the 1st month it was out, heard good things and just gave it a shot. spawned alot of careers (Rjd2 among 100 others), still sounds great. some of the best drums ever, its jazz drums but with an insane clarity

 

[Morose Polymath]

Absolutely classic album, I own this on Wax and CD. Midnight In A Perfect World is still just after all this time

This album was lightning in a bottle, Shadow hasn't produced anything even remotely as dope as this since.

Another notable instrumental/sample based album that came out around that time that's in this lane was DJ Cam's - Substances

DJ Krush's 90 stuff was a nice mix of raw boom bap and sprawling instrumentals

it's a very underground release. most hardcore hip hop heads don't know it exists or don't care.

This is a DJ enthusiasts album for enthusiasts. It will never have a wide appeal, but I personally am a fan of DJ Shadow.

 

[mbewane]

Personnal classic, one of the albums I listen to the most tbh

 

[criminology]

I'm old as fukk. I had the original physical with the white cotton sleeve thing. Album was the shyt back then. Really great. Shame he never really did much of interest after that but still more than I've ever done

 

[Da_Eggman]

Not only a classic hip hop album

But one of the greatest albums of the 90s and a amazing piece of art

Album like this will never be done again

It represents a time in hip hop and indie music

 

[MikeyC]

Undeniable Classic. Up there with Donuts as the greatest Instrumental rap album ever.

 

[Renegade47]
