I’ve had a bit of a topsy-turvy relationship with Endtroducing over the years. First time I heard it was when it first came out and it did absolutely zilch for me. It wasn’t for around another 10-15 years that I gave it another go and everything finally clicked into place. Now I own two copies of it (original Mo’Wax and one of those Back To Black abominations, the latter I’m trying to sell on).
I assume Baystate’s personal favourite instrumental hip-hop LP is Donuts - fair enough, it’s a fine album. I’ve always thought it played more like a consistently good mixtape short on obvious standout moments. Entroducing on the other hand is a set of solid, and sometimes mesmerising cuts. Shadow’s choice of samples do it for me too - crate-digging of the highest order, and directly responsible for me owning these two Scandinavian curios:
Yeah, this shits on Donuts. Though its scope is much wider, so the comparison seems unfair. Easier to compare this to something like SAW or Untrue, tbh. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

Yeah. Both this and Donuts are instrumental records based on samples but they aren't really that comparable. Always really loved this record.

Nah. It may be more groundbreaking/epic/experimental, but that doesn’t make the music itself better. Both are personal favorites though. Endtroducing was something I loved from first listen, while Donuts took more time to click.
