The late Gil Scott-Heron is resurrected on the aptly titled "I'm Gone", as his soulful wail confesses "I left three days ago / But no one seems to know I'm gone", while a throbbing bass line stirs in the background. You can hear Al Green's tender croon repeated under a thick dose of low-end on "IIIIIII HIIIIIIII", as a spew of miscellaneous rhythms form a melodic cohesion. 1, and together with its dominating pulsing house influence, they bring a weighted emotional density to the sped up, drug-induced techno aggression of his arrangements. Soul samples are everywhere throughout Rashad's Just A Taste Vol. This merger of soulful ecstasy and gangsta prowess is what DJ Rashad's latest cup o' hypnotic plunderphonics is all about. The former lyric samples Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do For Love", and the latter samples Chicago lyricist Add-2.

Now well over a decade old, DJ Rashad pumps new life into ghettotech by declaring "I came back to let you know / Ghettotech's runnin' ***" on the fervent sweat of "Ghetto Tekz Runnin It".

The genre itself consists of hyper-induced techno rhythms, ultra-repetitive samples, fat Miami bass, and sexually explicit lyrics (booty and bitches generally being the topical icebreakers). Review Summary: Ghettotech's runnin' shitĮnter Ghettotech a genre that has a respectable, yet relatively obscure history that spans back to late-'90s pioneers DJ Assault, DJ Godfather, and Disco D, along with Bitch Ass Darius who would stamp the genre into the Chicago underground a few years later on his landmark Follow The Sound.
