Well, Quasimoto doesn't even exist. It's just Madlib's alter ego. It's Madlib speeding his vocals up so he kinda sounds like a chipmunk. It's not meant to sound good, or be the illest MC. Quas is what he is. You either except it, or don't. One thing's for sure though. The music is great.

Maybe if I try to download the album and force myself to listen to it a few times I'll get used to him. I dunno.

Buck and Aesop have annoying voices to me. Buck's voice is just irritating

It's definitely worth giving a chance and I must warn you before you listen to it that he's not supposed to have great lyrics and a great flow. Quasimoto was some shit madlib make up when he got really stoned just to f*ck around. He would make beats sampling lots a jazz records and speeded his voice up so it would sound funny. It wasn't until Peanut Butter Wolf (owner of Stones Throw) heard the songs and (slowly) convinced Madlib to release the material as is. So he did and the rest is history. So Quasimoto isn't supposed to be taken seriously. It's just fun to listen to. The music is 10/10 and once you accept what Qaus is, you'll get past his voice and lyrics.
Finally got Roots Manuva - Awfully Deep today. I just love this guys music, i dont if its because we come from similar backgrounds (Jamaican/English) that i really relate to his music but it just gets me every album. If you've never heard of him you should give him a listen, his lyrics are incredibly down to earth and matter of fact and the soundscapes (not sure if thats even a word) he creates are totally unpredictable.
Originally posted by EraserheadWell I can appreciate jazzy production and I like it when artists are innovative despite it costing them fans, so I guess I should give it a try. If they still have it next time I'm at the store I'll pick up a copy.. part of the fun in getting albums is taking a chance and not knowing what to expect.
