Kid606 / Tigerboy - Attitude

Side A sees Kid606 drop NWA's classic 'Straight Outa Compton' from the top of a multi-storey carpark and glue the bits together with numb fingers. Essential track. Side B has the Kid as Tigerboy give some unknown punk track even nore of a hard edge - the sudden volume change a way in is killer :). An essential 7" for fans of carefully crafted madness.

Whatever people might say, this was the first release of importance with people sampling and doing mash-up’s of other peoples music in such a direct way. Kid 606 was really on to something, which by now has become just another scene but back in 2000 this was what made sampling heads go nuts and V/Vm was there to release it.

The track is identical to the 3-inch cd released by Kid 606’s own label a year later, but not to the track, which appeared on a 3-inch “credit-card” for the Christmas sale in 2001 or was it 2002?

Big cheers to V/Vm for being so visionary to put out a release like this in a time were almost nobody cared or had the balls to bring stuff like this out.

The punk track torn apart for the b-side is in fact from an old Misfits album named Static Age,the name of the track being Attitude.Pretty odd stuff,but quite enjoyable nonetheless.I probably wouldnt play it to old school punks who have no sense of humour though.
