For a while now, the digital bloggitus that is FMGT has been lacking in the hip-hop, and I realize I have done wrong in this respect. Without further ado, it's time to get back to the grime, the beat-matching, the lyrical flow, the rare sample wonder that is.

MF Doom giveth, and MF Doom taketh away. Here, Daniel Dumile lends his hefty sample arsenal to several Nas tracks [taken from Nastradamus & Illmatic, amongst others], thus giving them fresh life. Simple, straightforward, but horribly addictive [always loved the Annie Lennox/Eurythmics nod in "Street Dreams"]. From what I have found, these albums are out-of-print at the moment, although I could be wrong. Worth a look-up on eBay or through the bootleg grapevine.

Just a little something to make monday move mess-free. Back tomorrow.
