Don’t get me wrong, I’m far from a fan of modern “hip hop” music. I find most of it devoid of real musical talent or originality. I have noticed a trend towards what I would call “minimalism” when it domes to the production lately and this tune kind of takes the cake for it. but the more I listened to this song (on an otherwise mediocre album) I heard a lot of Kraftwerk influence –and not from sampling either! Sadly, the rest of the album pretty much sux in my opinion with the exception of one or two more tracks so I’m sure this tune was just a fluke -but still… I love this tune!! The strong base, 80’s style synth’s used sparringly, minimal and tasteful percussion progression, etc…
