New DJ Shadow - Outside
Early reports hinted The Outside was gonna be somewhat of a party, not another DJ Dracula masterpiece.
You probably heard "3 Freaks," featuring Keak Da Sneak and Turf Talk. Stream here (SWF). Not your father's Shadow, eh? Hip-hop heavyweights David Banner and E-40 guest at the mic as well, and on the club-ready "Enuff" Q-Tip and Lateef speak the truth about shiny dance floors. First, however, Mr. Davis goes to Washington with two Bush-bashin' tracks about Hurricane Katrina. Elsewhere, Stateless' Chris James (who must always be blogged in the same breath as Chris Martin) delivers the easy-listening on "You Made It." That's for the kids who don't like hyphy.
Some samples:
DJ Shadow (Feat. Q-Tip & Lateef The Truth Speaker) - "Enuff" WIN MEDIA | REAL
DJ Shadow (Feat. Chris James) - "You Made It" WIN MEDIA | REAL
Outside's out 9/12. A mixed bag for sure, but they can't all be the Nadia Comaneci of turntablism.

I believe it's called "the outsider"... just saying, that's all.
Score = 0
I saw this project at The Sonar in Barcelona.
They sucked big time !
Sounds like cheap L.A. Hip-hop.
Score = 0
it's The Outsider for sure :)
much as I hate "3 Freaks" - sounds CRAP to me - I'm still looking forward to it
and good news for Euro peeps - it's out on September 4th (at least in the UK)

if you hunt around then you can see the URLs of the mp3s used in the shadow swf music player. For example, 3 Freaks (stinks) is here: http://www.djshadow.com/_media/audio/freaks.mp3
