 The album 's second half is opened by the two @-@ part " Stem / Long Stem " , which recalls genres such as ambient and jungle . DJ Shadow 's trademark drum chopping is juxtaposed with several other diverse sampled parts , including string movements , comedy routines , film soundtracks , and blues music . Andy Kellman of AllMusic describes it as a " suite of often melancholy music , a piece that consistently refuses to be pigeonholed into any musical style . " " Transmission 2 " plays before the album proceeds with " Mutual Slump " , a " sedate funk " track featuring female spoken narration and prominent samples of Björk 's " Possibly Maybe " . " Organ Donor " is structured around a chopped @-@ up organ solo from Giorgio Moroder 's " Tears " , backed by a funk breakbeat . " Why Hip @-@ Hop Sucks in ' 96 " – DJ Shadow 's commentary on the state of hip hop music at the time – is a brief interlude featuring a looping G @-@ funk @-@ esque beat and a lone voice proclaiming : " It 's the money !
