My good pal Mark Contois (who currently lacks blog) just turned me on to the Kleptones on Tuesday. Every track is backed by old Queen samples. Plus, there are samples from the Beasties, Eminem, etc. It's good... real good.
You don't know, you betta axe somebody. These dudes mix, and mix, and mix. Mark Contois recently gave me a copy of "A Night at the Hip Hopera" by the Kleptones, and it rocked my world.
On the surface, it looks like a giant assault on copyright law, and it just might be (or it might be work done with carte blanche on the EMI catalog). That said, I already own at least half of the samples. Does that make me a criminal? I hope not....
Keep music evil.
I'll leave you with this: Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music and Music is THE BEST
Thanks, Frank (Zappa, that is).
