Cadence Weapon, Tron Legacy: The Mixtape
» Is it hipster to sample Sleigh Bells followed by Crosby Stills and Nash?
Cadence Weapon returns to let us know he's still here like Joaquin, with his mixtape that aims to steal the thunder from Jeff Bridges' CGI-ed wrinkle-free face.
Tron Legacy: The Mixtape is 18 loose ends of mixtape nostalgia as Cadence applies the traditional format, instead of the current semi-album trend, by busting his raps over Sleigh Bells, The Arcade Fire, Madlib, Swizz Beats' "On To The Next," Gucci Mane's "Lemonade" (can rappers stop already?), and a beat that cuts up Crosby Stills and Nash's "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", to name a few. The mixtape features rap verses from Buck 65, Bidapres, Giovanni Marks, Derek from Northcliffe, The Joe, Mitchmatic, Mikey Maybe and Shad, who does a solid Slick Rick impression on "Baby I'm Yours".
Even though it's high time Cadence Weapon break us off with a new record, Tron Legacy: The Mixtape is a fun listen that can be heard simply by naming your price at his website.
