Chemical Brothers, why, oh why did you have to do it?

ffs!

the chemical brothers throughout their successful career have managed to avoid rap in their own productions.

Unfortunately, on their latest album "Push the Button" they seem to have rapping on "galvanize". Not only that, but its the first song ive heard from them that isnt original.

Anybody else disappointed by this?

heh

if you heard the works he's done with A Tribe Called Quest you'd understand

No different to having Noel gallagher, tim burgess beth orton or any other of the guest vocalists they have had in the past to be honest.

Open your mind and ears to other things- you may learn something.

lol.... in fact mega lol.

I have opened up to several different styles of music but i just cant get into Rap or RnB.

So dont tell me to open up to it.

First of all, the Chemical Brothers love hip hop and they have for a long time so it is only natural that they have hip hop influences in their productions.

Second, this isn't even the first Chemicals Brothers track to have a rapper on vocals. Unless I am unaware of some track from back in the day, the Chems first track with rap vocals was Get Yourself High feat. K-Os, which came out in 2003.

Third, Galvanize is the best track on the CD.

And lastly, Q-Tip is one of the greatest MCs of all-time.

the way galvinize is done, was very nice..not to "pop music" style
plus at least its not jay-z or little john bs...they went in a different direction with the song and i think it worked

Setting Sun and The Private Psychedelic Reel are better.

And the thread starter is a prick- oh no, rapping! Are you really such a close-minded fool you dislike a track on the basis there is a rap in it? So you hate The KLF and Faithless because they used rapping in their music?

Have to disagree and say Hold on tight london is the stand out track on this album. The rap vocals definitely work on Galvanise though.

Top Track, Top Album, Excellent artists!

besides

Chemical brothers were originally called the dust brothers (until they changed it due to a US duo having the same name)- and used to knock out electronic infulenced hip hop productions and dj sets..... All they are doing is going back to their roots as it were.

Push the Button is good......but its no Surrender

Posted by UWM on Feb-24-2005 15:49:

Abe Duque remix of Galvanize is where it's at!

Posted by bass.exe on Feb-24-2005 16:27:

you should hate just cos it has rap in it.. just cause hip-hop is polluting the musical scene right now that all of it is shit.
Listen to Mos Def, especially "I against I feat. Massive Attack-Mos Def" and say that the rap /hip hop is shit.
