"IF YOU WANT A VISION OF THE FUTURE, IMAGINE CRAP 808 SAMPLES STAMPING ON A HUMAN FACE- FOREVER"
Clams Casino // Motivation
If you’ve had even cursory interaction with the unassailable amount of material coming from the camps of Lil B and Main Attrakionz there’s a good chance you’ve heard a Clams Casino beat. Living up to the Based philosophy via hopeful and strikingly sparse vocal cut ups, Clams has been behind the cream of Lil B’s back catalogue including the amazing “Im God” and “Motivation”.
On this mixape, Clams Casino collects 12 of his hottest beats: from the mighty Illest Ever piecing a swag call to arms out of Bjork’s Bachellorette to the cavernous She’s Hot, the breadth on display is incredible. Clams’ instrumentals are amazingly emotive, juxtaposing ethereal serenity with satisfying lo fi grit. If that description didn’t make it clear, the tape will definitely do things for people into recent abstract work by the likes of Hype Williams*, Dro Carey and the Olde English Spelling Bee contingent. Legendary stuff.

*For the sake of the ambiguous context (and so it doesn’t sound like I think the 6”7” video is “abstract work” or some such) this is the increasingly excellent London/Berlin not-hypnagogic duo Hype Williams, not the increasingly lame hip hop video director Hype Williams
