I picked this up in an awkward decision between Endotrucing, Marilyn Manson, and Spawn (I was trying to find something new, instead of normal rock or pop). Anyway, the cover wasn't intrestng, the liner notes weren't intresting, the actual CD was kinda brown and I wasn't very excited. As I popped it in my CD player, I just kept reminding myself that some kid named Josh was on Spin's "Top 40 artists of 1997". WOW! THIS CD IS AMAZING. It's not for everyone, but is a collection of breaks, scratching, samples, funk, and a whole lot of drums. The best tracks are Track 2, "The Number Game", and "Stem/Long Stem". And as a novelty, "Why Hip Hop Sucks in '96" represents my sentiment exactly. BUY ENDTRODUCING... NOW!!!
