Madvillainy

Product Information

Madvillainy is inexhaustibly brilliant, with layer-upon-layer of carefully considered yet immediate hip-hop, forward-thinking but always close to its roots. In 2019, MF Doom raised hopes for new Madvillain music by telling Spin that he and Madlib had recorded “three or four” albums worth of material. Madlib released Champion Sound with J Dilla, while Doom released two solo albums: Take Me to Your Leader, as King Geedorah, and Vaudeville Villain, as Viktor Vaughn. Breaking the mold in such a crazy bold way, odd rhythms and funny but thought-provoking lyrics that command attention, mad skills and otherworldly chills by the minute, mixing everything together to put out something enjoyable and truthful released to please millions by the ear-full.

Pitchfork ranked it number six on their list of the 50 best albums of 2004, stating that "the collaboration brings out the best in both men, without copying anything in their catalogs". The segues are a bit dumb at times but I can overlook that because they're short and sort of necessary in keeping the flow going properly. A follow-up album to Madvillainy was rumored to be in production at various times since the late 2000s, [1] but no further original material has surfaced from the duo since 2010, and MF DOOM's death in 2020 has left the future of the project uncertain. As well as talking about the origins of Madvillain and what it was like to work with Madlib, he announced during the show that he just had to "touch up a couple of tracks" on the new Madvillain album and said that it should be out by the end of 2012, depending on when Stones Throw choose to release it.

It has ranked in various publications' lists of all-time greatest albums, including at 411 on NME's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, [3] at 365 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, [4] and at 18 on Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time.

Madlib and Doom are individually at their most refined here, and together, they've created one of the most exciting blockbuster alliances in the underground to date. In November 2002, Madlib went to Brazil to participate in a Red Bull Music Academy lecture, [12] where he debuted the first music from the album by playing an unfinished version of "America's Most Blunted". The magazine also positioned the album at number eight on the list of the 50 best hip hop debut albums since Reasonable Doubt. Or on "Money Folder", in which Doom starts off, "Don't mind me, I won't just rhyme lightly off of two or three Heinies," but flips beers to babes midway: "And boy was they fine, G: One black, one Spanish, one Chi-nee.

Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix was released on Stones Throw in 2008, containing a complete remix of the album by Madlib as a part of a Madvillain box set. It was challenging to work with something that’s already in existence, and bring out something in it that still sounds natural.
