Soo dope. Can't believe I've taken so long to get on this album. Dan The Automator is like whoa

Got this album well cheap like 2 years ago, I still play it, such a good find man!
you got dj shadow, Dan the automator, Qbert, Kool Keith.

What a mix!

He doesn't get enough props imo. Most people are sorta like; 'yeah he did Dr Octagon and Deltron, they're pretty good I guess'. But they're top 10 classics to me. Add 'So... How's Your Girl?', 'A Much Better Tomorrow', the first Gorillaz album, Premo hasn't made as many albums that are that great top to bottom.

Fo sho. Did shadow produce on it or did he just do cuts?

I don't think Shadow contributed anything except that remix. Kutmaster Kurt produced the two original demos.

oh yeah nice. is that qbert doing scratching on it then? or dan himself?



man an octogon/viktor vaughn album would be insane

It's a Mo Wax record so chances are Shadow played a hand in it somewhere. But yeah I think he like did one remix for it and mastered it or something... don't hold me to this I just know he's thrown in the mix somewhere.
Yeah Q bert is scratching on "Bear Witness" and other tracks.

In '95 I don't think Shadow had the skills for any mastering or engineering. In fact, I think Automator helped out with a lot of those technical things on Endtroducing. But you're right, I wouldn't be surprised if Shadow wasn't around diggin up a sample or break or two.

And yeah, QBert is doing any serious cuts on the album. Maybe Automator has a couple crabs here and there, but those extended workouts on Bear Witness, Blue Flowers, Real Raw, No Awareness etc... are all QBert.

Koo Keith for president

Dan The Automator is a quality producer

This album is in my top 5 hip-hop albums ever

Dan the Automator did Kutmasta Kurt dirty on this album, using his track and not giving credits and all that

Yeah bro, that definitely wasn't cool, he is still a badass producer though, as is Kurt

I remember first hearing Earth People in a club in 1996 and I was so blown away by it.
