Following the death of MC and music producer MF DOOM, we revisit and pay homage to his collaborative album, ‘Madvillainy’, with iconic fellow producer Madlib.

by Osmar Milito e Quarteto FormaNinety-Nine and One Half’Madlib gave DOOM a lot to work with: CDs that the late artist would choose and add his lyrics on the beats. “

Otis [Madlib] has the arrangement and the production already done, so I don’t change anything when he gives me the beat tape. He would give me the beat already done, and I write around the song. Even the choruses and the cuts, the samples are all there. ‘America’s Most Blunted’ already had the sample in there.

Another element that added to the obscurity of Madlib’s production is the weird off-the-wall skits that he incorporated into the project. From the comedic pro-marijuana usage skits, the comic-book skits and bits-and-pieces from old movies, Madlib’s production onis an atomic bomb of his sonic muses – all packaged into 46 minutes and 22 songs. Frustratingly short for some, it is also perfectly short for those who prefer punchy records that are easy to loop over and over again.
