Ha! Look at that! Yeah, it is. Jaunty, jolly music. Or partly that's what it is. I love De La. I love Brand Nubian. I like Lord Finesse. I think this also has a kind of overstuffed quality that gets on my nerves. Too much going on. Generally hip hop is good at minimalism and benefits from it.
Even something like Public Enemy which is made with 500 samples per song and elaborately layered still seems minimal. It's not got this ADD fidgety quality. It's not cluttered. It presents a simple idea in a very direct way.
