Hip-hop confabulations don't come much more forward-thinking than this. Working from solid atomic principles, Deltron 3030 takes one producer, one MC and one DJ and throws them beyond Futurama. Dan The Automator (one of the founders of the Handsome Boy Modelling School and administrator of Dr Octagon's porno hospital) reinvents himself as The Cantankerous Captain Aptos and teams up with Deltron Zero (aka Hieroglyphics crew member Del Tha Funky Homosapien) and Skiznod The Boy Wonder (bucky turntablist Kid Koala). Between the radio ads for future-funked, rap jams and camouflaged cameos (by the likes of Prince Paul, a castrato Damon Albarn, MC Paul Barman and his Upper West Side doppelganger Sean Lennon), the Deltron crew advise you to upgrade your brain to avoid getting sucked into the time virus. ("Ugrade your gray matter", they chant, "'cause one day it may matter".) The thematic opener, "3030", sounds like a beat-driven David Lean movie that slipped into the DJs fingers with 31st-century rhythm stutters and scratches. Automator ping-pongs loops as rousing choral parts swells with space pride. "Things You Can Do" riffs off mod rock while a harpsichord hack and Sean Lennon drops feature on the sickly-sweet mental apocalypse of "Memory Loss". Over its 21 tracks, Deltron 3030 erases the errors of this rap era in favour of hip hop's future-fathers. --Chris Campion

Deltron 3030 is an excellent CD with mad vocab (DeltronZ), tight production(The Automator), and smooth turntablism (Kid Koala). This bunch of Hip-Hop super heroes come to bring you a futuristic sound that can't be fazed with a photon blaster. With 12 songs filled with the Funkee Homosapien and 9 skits that are off the hook. How can you go wrong with this team up with fat songs like 3030,and with extremely potent vocals is Sean Lennon featured on Memory Loss.If you ask me one of my favorite songs on the whole Cd is definetly #12 Madness with dope lyrics nice smooth beat hooked up by the Automator and a hook that will have you singing it within a couple times of listening. Overall I would have to say this CD is a must pick up If your an Avid Del fan, you also like the laced beats of the Automator, and the smoooth scratches by the Kid Koala. You will definetly like this CD so go get out of here pick it up right now NUFF said. Peace out HIERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Peace to Kwantum Physics, And Trans 1NE watch out for this album.

In all honesty, I have not heard a better hip hop album than Deltron 3030. The more and more I listen to it, the more and more I fall in love with it. What sets this one apart from the rest is the production. Koala and Automator shine together, created rhythms and beats that sound like no other. The album kicks off with a bang with the hip hop symphony, 3030. The rest progresses perfectly, with not one track out of place. There is not a slouch in the bunch, but I do have my favorites. 3030 and Mastermind, oh wait, also Madness, oh wait, there's also Virus, oh wait.... just buy the album, you won't be sorry!
And Del The Funky Homosapien kills it, as usual. Were there any doubts in your mind?
Format:Audio CD
'Deltron 3030' is an innovative undertaking by rapper Del the Funky Homosapien, producer Dan the Automator, and DJ Kid Koala. With futuristic production and skillful lyricism, 'Deltron 3030' tells of a post-apocalyptic world in the year 3030. This CD is by no means commercial with its lack of hooks (most verses are met with simple repeated samples and/or scratching) and its offbeat lyrical content. There are some great tracks like 'Mastermind', 'Madness', '3030', and 'Madness'. However this CD is weighted down by a whopping nine skits that follow the futuristic theme of the CD. Personally, I never find skits groundbreaking or even necessary to a project so it definitely prevents me from putting this in my CD player and listening from cover to cover without skipping. Nothing profound is said by Del, and I am more attracted to how he says it (he flows very well with the beats) rather than what he says. However, I would recommend 'Deltron 3030' for any hip hop fan who is looking for something different because this is definitely a memorable album.

Good. Not necessarily a classic, though
I liked the style that Del used in the hit "Clint Eastwood" on the Gorillaz album, so I looked for more of his work. Read more

Ain't no other source of sunlight
This album is just unadulteratedly genius. First of all, there is just Del's incredibly satisfying voice. Just hearing his voice is like drinking a tall glass of ice cold water. Read more

The Dark Side of the Moon of Hip Hop

One of the best true hip-hop albums ever
Del is one of the best MCs out there and unfortunately not many people are familiar with his work. He teams up with the Automator and Kid Koala on an album that shines as much... Read more
