It's funny how an emcees' voice never changes. AG, aka Andre The Giant of Showbiz fame, sounds exactly the same as his early DITC years. Only the backdrop is different here as two of the finest (Dilla RIP) give this vet some spanking new shoes. Dilla's "Hip-Hop Quotable(1)" is definitely the standout here. Dilla drops his patented futuristic club bounce track, while AG makes a real showing, borrowing and switching up old hip-hop lyrics the entire way. Definitely, on some old to the new shit. On the flip, Madlib lays down "Frozen(2)" featuring a throwback indy beat that samples carnival sounds. Instrumental and accapella for both.
