DJ Shadow vs Chief Xcel

DJ Shadow vs. Chief Xcel
12-minute freestyle (jawn) - Gift of Gab vs. Lateef vs. Lyrics Born
Quannum's hip hop prowess definately extends to their live sets, not only in the flesh (like the Quannum World Tour this year) but even on the radio as well. these tracks come from a session live on the BBC, available in its entirety on Minty Fresh records [buy it]. it's also available on vinyl from the Turntable Lab.
these two tracks showcase the depth of Shadow and Xcel's crates, and the complete lyrical mayhem that Gab, LB and Lateef can bring. there are rough spots in the freestyle (LB continues his tradition of having a potty mouth, even on the radio), but you try it for 12 minutes. plus, unlike most freestyle sessions, the imperfections remind you that's is fresh, not canned like a lot of freestyles you usually hear live (when you go to two shows in two cities and hear the same "freestyle" lyrics virtually word for word).
It's a powerful collection of hip-hop, and gives you freestyles and skratch sessions in addition to some classic Quannum tracks for those folks wanting something a little more spicey and raw than Greatest Bumps (which everyone should own regardless).
