On
first look, I’m thinking this is going to be some sort of 8bit cassette, as the
levels are hidden, but it doesn’t really have any 8bit qualities to it at
all. Rather, the music within these
songs are more beats based and come off in a (mostly) instrumental hip hop
way. I say mostly instrumental because
there are some lines sung by a lovely female vocalist being sampled, but this
isn’t straight up rap music if you will.
While
this cassette for the most part brings me back to my youth of driving around,
listening to 2Pac on my car stereo as loudly as it will go, and consequently
being hassled by cops with nothing better to do, this isn’t strictly 2Pac
beats. There are some horns, which aren’t
really used in any genre specific manner but do add a lot to the overall
sound. Oh, and yeah, there are some
sounds of dogs barking and I’m not talking about DMX.
What
I like most about this cassette is that mixed in with the hip hop sound,
JonBlount_ manages to add in other elements to make this something not only
creative but also genuine to him.
