DJ Shadow is quoted as saying:

“ There're songs on this album that I think blow away almost anything else I've ever done. I think song for song it's the best album I've ever made. One thing's for sure – it's going to make it very difficult for people to imitate my sound! ”

Speaking to skinnymag.co.uk [2] on the eve of The Outsiders release, Davis elaborated further on its direction:

“ I just sat down to make a record that reflected what I like and the type of music that I care about. Being from and living in the Bay Area, I sort of fell in to listening to Hyphy stuff, and it’s the most potent type of rap that the Bay Area has come up with since the early 90s. So it was really exciting when it came along and rather than do what I would probably have done in the past and go ‘well gee, I’m a guy who mainly works with samples, so I guess this is just gonna pass me by,’ I embraced it. ”
