▄███▌ ▐███▄
████ Directly influenced by Herbie Hancock's "Rockit," an early ████
████ melding of jazz and hip-hop, The Ablist is Swift's attempt to ████
████ introduce the turntable as a virtuosic instrument capable of ████
████ being played with the same feeling and skill as any other ████
████ instrument. He uses the turntable in various contexts, from solo ████
████ scratching to full band. Much of the album is stellar ████
████ jazz-inflected hip-hop, even if it falls somewhat short of the ████
████ incredibly high goals of its composer, but those high goals are ████
████ what make The Ablist such a thrilling listen. Many songs use the ████
████ turntable in ways that have not been explored. On "What Would You ████
████ Do?," Swift's scratches act as a sort of instrumental answer to ████
████ the question posed. "Fusion Beats" shows that the turntable can ████
████ be a jamming instrument as well, with some nice interplay with ████
████ keyboards on what is actually some pretty straight jazz. ████
████ Turntables are also brought into a full-band context on "Modern ████
████ Day Music" and "All that Scratching Is Making Me Rich!" "Modern ████
████ Day Music" features the band's three MCs and Swift's DJ ████
████ Premier-like cutting up of words and phrases over a deep groove. ████
████ Swift's spare style of cutting often recalls Premier, and his ████
████ production skills are similar to Large Professor, emphasizing ████
████ rolling bass and swinging but steady beats. Overall, Swift has ████
████ crafted a strong personal statement. The album echoes old-school ████
████ skills without devolving into a pastiche of past hip-hop styles ████
████ or following commercial rap trends. Instead, The Ablist suggests ████
████ directions in which hip-hop can go to remain viable. The album ████
████ doesn't entirely follow through on all its promises, and Swift ████
████ doesn't always reach his goals, which can make the album a ████
████ frustrating listen at times. Overall, however, The Ablist ████
████ redefines the turntable as a musical instrument that can bring ████
████ new dimensions to both structured and improvised music, and it ████
████ shows that Swift is capable of some incisive music that works ████
████ outside the normal confines of turntablist music. ████
