Bumpin' 'n' Grindin'

I just now realized upon viewing that cover enlarged what the fist is made out of.

I'll just start this out with, why MSTRKRFT?!?! Why!?!?

Their new cd, Fist of God, has been overtaken by songs featuring other artists. The thing is, I can't seem to shake the feeling that it sounds much more like that particular artist is featuring MSTRKRFT on the song. I suppose that has something to do with the fact that a band that is nothing more then samples and electronic music is something that would usually just be written as the background for some other artist, and I guess you can't really climb the music industry ladder with that.

Still, I get the feeling that the artists featured on this release (Lil' Mo, N.O.R.E., John Legend, Ghostface Killah and more) are not the singers that fans of MSTRKRFT would know or care about. Whether they followed along after the demise of Death from Above 1979, or find out about them as a tribute to Kraftwerk, I doubt Ghostface Killah is also on their mp3 players. So why invite a bunch of hip hop, r&b, and rap artists to do vocals for your electronica cd? You want to get play in clubs.

I'm alright with it I suppose. I just miss Death from Above 1979, and you can't turn back time. Still, I could do with a little less callouts in my music. I'm well aware of the fact that I'm listening to MSTRKRFT, but thanks for reminding me. I made a compilation of all the calling out of names on the cd for your listening displeasure.
