That's more complex than the vast majority of hip-hop albums out there though

You must be high my dude

ITAOTS, sonically though, not lyricily. I'm not imaginative enough for that sort of playful poetic meme like prose.

But I can play a hell of a G chord, and that covers like half of that album.

finding good samples, having to edit them and then make sure they blend toghether isn't something easy to do

What's so remarkable about this album is the sample choice, how Shadow knew how all these disparate sounds could fit together conceptually. Listen to all the recurring motifs, the organ foreshadowing, the way cutting out bits of dialogue from a spoken word sample recontextualizes it and gives it an air of mystery.

Despite how dominant sample-based electronic music became, this album still has a totally unique atmosphere. I think the fact that it was built by rummaging through obscure vinyl rather than trawling an online archive of samples has a lot to do with that. Even though it's technically easy to do nowadays, it can't really be replicated because of how it was made.

It's kind of sad how sampling music came to be just a decade before the internet exploded and what you said about finding samples by hand disappeared.

That's not simple at all

Find a good sounding vintage synth, find a 70s documentary and sample it, put a bit of reverb on the vocals. Then arpeggiate a drum beat and finally, put it all through a tape recorder.

I think it is, anon.
