 Notes  
     One of the early 21st century's most influential musicians and producers,
     Danger Mouse parlayed his skill at blending and juxtaposing elements of
     rock, hip-hop, dance, and pop into an unmistakable approach that he likened
     to being an auteur. The audacious mash-ups of 2004's "The Grey Album" -
     which combined the vocals from Jay-Z's "The Black Album" with the music
     from The Beatles' "White Album" - laid the groundwork for the freewheeling
     style he developed in the years to come.
     Although released by Warp's cerebral hip-hop imprint Lex Records (Boom Bip,
     Tes), DM & Jemini's "Ghetto Pop Life" has more in common with the
     cartoonish bump of California's lionized old school than with any current
     indie hip-hop aesthetic. Danger Mouse's loopy, jazzy production style and
     Jemini's excitable, careening vocals (think Slim Kid 3) conjure immediate
     comparisons to mid-'90s backpacker touchstones Souls of Mischief and
     Pharcyde, the latter of whom actually guest on the gothic maypole flutter
     of "Medieval".
     While unavoidable, these striking similarities don't detract from the
     album, probably because DM & Jemini are too busy having fun to sermonize,
     wag fingers, or pine for days long passed. Standouts include the widescreen
     first single "Ghetto Pop Life", the velvety glimmer of "Yoo Hoo", and the
     Just Blaze-inspired helium soul of the club-ready "The Only One". Things
     flag a bit as the album winds down - the wincingly cliched political rap of
     "Bush Boys" feels strained and out of place - but for the most part, it
     brims with hooks, bump, and energy.
     Evocative without being pointlessly nostalgic and fun without being goofy,
     "Ghetto Pop Life" is a convincingly strong debut.
