this is a great gateway drug to the twin worlds of beat-driven sound collages and plunderphonics, and even if i don't really spin it anymore, i value its contribution to my musical consciousness

I really like it. Has a very authentic vibe even though it's instrumental hip-hop/plunderphonics.

Is this something anyone would recommend for me? I've never listened to it but I've always thought the album cover was fantastic.

Endtroducing..... is a widely praised and accessible album. It's a good litmus test for if you'll like this kind of music or not, imo.

This whole year for me has been one of exploration. Rap and hip hop have been a big part of that. I'll put this on the to listen to list.

One of the most important records for me and others; we can talk all day about the cultural and musical impact it had but I think it could be as impactful for you as it was me. It's a pretty impeccable record with a lot to like about it and at the very least it is worth your time and worth hearing.

This was actually one of the first hip hop records I ever heard. Maybe even one of the first five. It's a masterpiece from top to bottom that's weirdly timeless. Essential listening.
Track picks
2. Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt
4. Changeling
7. Stem/Long Stem
11. Midnight In A Perfect World

Me too. I was just talking to a hip-hop producer friend about this in the car today as we listened to songs off Pitchfork's 2000s singles list. Back in mid-2010, I'd heard Ready to Die, Illmatic and this (and Soulja Boy, but that didn't count to BEA at the time). It wasn't until MBDTF that Thanksgiving that I started taking hip-hop super-seriously.
