I like it all. I like banjos as much as I like pianos, as much as I like keyboards, as much as I like turntables. And so on and so forth. The Hood Internet seem to have an equally mature pallet. This team mashes up the freshest songs from across the blogosphere into batshit singles that never exactly clear the bar you’re hoping for but always rise higher than you expected. The best of them manage to sidestep your judgement completely and take you in a direction you never thought of. Mostly just seeing the names of your favorite hip hop and indie acts together on the same MP3 is enough to warrant a listen.
These songs don’t amount to much more than a trifle and if some of them flew any closer to the sun it might melt the wings off of their gimmick. The photoshop work that accompanies the tracks can even top the music on occasion. Thankfully pointless has never meant worthless and The Hood Internet prove their value everytime you chuckle at how bizarre some of these pairings prove. In a word, bonkers.
