no, it didnt have any hip hop to it, but definitly funk, soul and rock. when I think of Beck I think of minimalist melodies on pop beats.
Calvin and Do you wanna get heavy are pretty good examples of that, IMO. sure, it isnt exactly like beck, but is that what you were looking for? someone that copies beck... or were you expecting me to pull an unreleased beck album out of my ass?
now, Imani Coppola has a few songs that soudn like beck produced it, but the vocals are way different.
but I am willing to bet that if you put of Justin Potts and tell your friends that it is the new beck album, they wont even question it. there is one song on there that is a little 80's, like breakfast club type shit, but the rest of the album is a pretty good beck alternative.

Have you gone completely insane?: If I put that shit on everyone would know its not Beck. As far as that blues shit goes, its not even close to Beck. What I expected was something that mixed hip hop style beats and production with rock like Beck. Your ass claimed you could name 5 bands from any small genre. Well there you go nigger, name em

I was referring to Eohippus when I said that people would believe that it was beck. seriously, go listen to it.
and Odelay is maybe at best, half hip hop beats.
but if you want to call "rock on top of hip hop beats" a genre... then mindless self indulgence would fit into that. so would Yoshimi battles the pink robots by the flaming lips. Jamiraquai (however the fuck you spell his name). you might like the instrumental stuff from beastie boys as well. Cake. certain ween songs.
there ya go. I would go more in depth, but what is the point since you obviously listened to 30 seconds of Jon Spencers Blues explosion, and wrote your post. you dont want to like what I am presenting, but rather to try and prove me wrong about it. maybe you didnt even listen to the Blues explosion, because there is nothing bluesy about that album, in fact, in one of the songs, he says "I dont play Blues, I play Rock and Roll".
and I never said "I would find something that sounds exactly like the band/genre you like"... I said I could name bands that you would like. and since I do this with people face to face, I usually wouldnt get this far into a music conversation with someone who is so obviously hellbent on trying not to like what I am referring.
just go listen to the song "lovin machine" from the Acme album and try to tell me that it could fit into Odelay with no problem. if you cant, then you are obviously musically inept and need to pull the dick out of your ears.

Alight man, first off, I actually can play music unlike presumably, your ass. I play the classical guitar, and can tear up an electric. Spencer shit is bluesy as fuck, are you kidding me with that its rock and roll and not blues bullshit. Do you know anything about music? Blues and rock and roll? I wont bother to get into the musical theory aspect of how absurd that statement is. However I will comment on this spencer album. Just because you have a fucking organ does not make you like Beck. You could have recommended me anything that has organ and guitar and claimed it was like Beck by your logic.
Odelay has loads of hip hop elements, and considering it was produced by a hip hop team this is not surprising. The flaming lips are not similar to Odelay. Honestly I am doubting you have any idea what the fuck you are talking about.

I was going to rattle off the abridged version of my resume.... but I really dont need to prove my musical career to you.
first off, you need to go back and actually read what I said. I never said the flaming lips soudned like Beck, or Odelay, I said that if you want to consider Odelay to be a hip hop album with rock, which is such a myopic view of that album in the first place, then you could consider Yoshimi the same thing. second, you never answered my question when I asked you to tell me that the song lovin machine from Acme couldnt fit on Odelay.
now, I wont argue that Odelay has hip hop aspects to it, but in no way could you define the album the way you have. Im guessing that you listen to maybe 4-5 tracks off that album when you "listen" to it. and have you gone and checked out Eohippus?
and you said you were going to talk about Jon Spencers album, but basically just said "its bluesy"... which makes it obvious to me that you havent even listened to the album. but the coup de grace is that the album Acme has almost zero organ in it. even in the songs like I wanna make it alright and Blue Green Olga it is just barely in the mix. so what is your explanation for this? are you actually going to listen to the album before you start arguing with me about it? in fact, I think you need to go back and listen to Odelay as well. you are out of your league here kid. go back to the minors and come and see me when you know what you are talking about.
also, if you like the production of the album so well, why dont you track down a discography of the Dust Brothers... then bump some MMMMbop... because that shit is hip-hop as hell.., right? maybe go buy the Fight Club soundtrack. whatever you do, stop wasting my time with your poor comprehension of the english language and music.
