I'm not slagging on DM, his production was inspired, but Jay-Z's material wasn't anywhere as consistent as what the Kleptones use. Of course, the complete mashup/remix style of the Kleptones allows more variety, and DM stuck to a one artist for intrumentals-one for acapella format, so it's not a perfectly even battle. Anyway, I hope the Kleps keep on keepin' on.... Hip Hopera is so much better than the Grey Album- I hope it does become widely known.
