I was listening to Toby Mac today and I really wondered what you guys though of his version of Ill-M-I and the Remix and “In The Air” that samples you.
So what did you think of all that?
(My two year old daughter prefers the originals to the covers)
Oooo! I second that, I kinda wondered that myself.
Also, thank you so much for the veritable care-package
of Junkness that you sent me. I go to Bible college in
Santa Clarita (getting my Batch in English) and I had the
joy of opening it all in my Rhetoric of Technology class.
I was wondering, did you cut out the pen picture the way
you did to fit one of the Soul=Junk stickers in there (it fit
perfect and is now adorning my wall.
Thanks-a-million; loving hearing the Psalms.
well i appreciate toby calling & telling me how much he dug the soul-junk songs. that’s one thing i really thought was amazing when i first started listening to early 90s drum & bass, or mid 90s scratch freakout records – they all had this open-source mash-up free-for-all feel. and when it all comes together just right, the sum ends up way bigger than the individual parts..
toby said something like “why try to tiptoe close to a chord progression that inspires you – why not just get permission & use it outright.” i respected that, so i said go for it..
ill-m-i was conceptually funny, just cuz i expected him to use the hook and write his own verses. of course there are thousands of songs that people cover and sing all the original lyrics to – it’s just not something you hear in hip hop too often at all. i’m thinking toby heard all 3 and a half minutes of it as THE HOOK, so yeah*
Hay,
