MADLIB - C OR D

Went ahead and emailed Stones Throw about a CD subscription... here's what I got back:

it’s a great plan, we’ve discussed it, but for various reasons we’re unable to do it.

Madlib Medicine Show No. 4: 420 Chalice All Stars

http://www.stonesthrow.com/uploads/news/55f93a11aef3df9bf7170280f7806c40.jpg

CD Pre-sale now at stonesthrow.com. Ships mid-April.
Street date: 4/20.

Madlib Medicine Show No. 4: 420 Chalice All-Stars, aka Son of Super Ape, is all Jamaican sounds – over 79 minutes of dub, reggae, roots. This will be released on 4/20, a date which has significance known to weed-heads worldwide.

The CD contains a 12-page booklet with a special supplement listing every medicinal marijuana dispensary in Madlib's home city Los Angeles.

This is the 4th of Madlib's one-a-month, twelve-CD series on his own imprint, Madlib Invazion. Odd numbers in the series are original productions by Madlib, even numbers are mixtapes.

how were the first three?

First album seems like a collection of mostly leftovers. If I recall, there are a lot of reworked tracks from the OJ Simpson project (Madlib + Guilty Simpson) that's due for CD release shortly. It was enjoyable when I put it on; I just haven't felt compelled to pull it out again, yet.

Second album is AWESOME. Really great, eclectic mix of Brazilian stuff -- far from my realm of musical "expertise," but it's a very compelling set.

Haven't heard the third album yet.

hot as blazes saturday afternoon w/medicine shows # 3 & 5 on the living room stereo

this music makes me happy to be alive

I love Medicine Show 3, probably my favorite of the first four. Haven't picked up 5 and 6 yet. (The cover art for 6 is insaaaaaaaaane!)

Madlib approves of the word "blazes" btw.

Loving #7 right now. Dude's prolificacy is just wow.

I've picked up the first four, can't wait to hear the next few in the series once I have the spare $13.99 apiece to drop.

And damn how did I miss this: http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2010/02/the-last-electro-acoustic-space-jazz-miles-away

In Search of Stoney Jackson is a fucking AWESOME album from front to back, 100% Madlib production, it's like one of those albums for me that I'm like "what shall I listen to next?" and I'm like "what about just playing Stoney Jackson again." plenty of Planet Asia on it too who's one of my favorites just in terms of flow/style/vibe, always happy to hear him & especially happy when it's in a Stones Throw context

Agree that's a great album, I played it a good bit during the first couple months of this year.

'Remixes 2 - 1980s Saturday Morning Edition' (from 2004 I think) is definitely classic and up there with some of his best work I reckon. Take a load of funk and disco samples from 1978 to 1983, overlay them with classic rhymes from the likes of Nas, The Alkaholics, Raekwon and MF Doom and you have a winning collection of tracks.

my fav ladies remix vs doomilla remix

when my old ipod (rip iDEATH) would be on shuffle, everything off this one would pop up all the time

about 20 mins ago I was driving down the freeway thinking that I need to just make a mix of all my favorite madlib beats or something

Too many gems but I'd have to go with Devils (Nas w/ The Firm)

Medicine show no. 10 is great. Didn't really realise I had it. Don't think it belongs in the actual Madlib canon as it's just crate digging showing off but there are some fucking jams on it. Also all the covers the the medicine show things are masterpieces.

OK cratedigging is probably an exaggeration seeing as most of the songs are pretty IDable

couple of clips off 12 sound fuckin great, like that one mind fusion hip hip mix

lol, just looked up a few posts, what I meant to say that I really hope this shit is like Remixes 2 - 1980s Saturday Morning Edition

dgaf about bumping this thread repeatedly but I'm listening to this shit over and over and over again

was the "jazznova remixed" album any good?

I mean why can't stonesthrow or whoever put out remix albums that like free design one every year, there's no excuse imo.

testament to how interesting madlib is that i'm clicking play on a youtube called 'jazznova remixed'

i like some of the MED record mentioned upthread, btw, talib's great on it

http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2012/02/madlib-medicine-show

All 13 Medicine Shows are out now.

I highly rec. #4, #10 and #12

i like 3, 5 and 12

where's the mutant porn at?

the doom/jadakiss song is real good. it's encouraging bc there are a bunch of really bad recent doom tracks.

IIRC that verse is from 2005

ah hm

I love madlib but I saw him do a set for the release of 12/13 or w/e and it was really fuckin boring

wheras I saw him do some random set last year that was one of the most amazing things I went to

Any consensus on the Freddie Gibbs collab (Piñata)?

FREDDIE GIBBS - TEN PACKS OF BACKWOODS VS. DOPE IN MY STYROFOAM

Cheers

Rock Konducta Vol 1 rules so far! chopping up psych, kraut, dollar bin skot type records, everything

not a huge fan of this one, I wish he would extend himself a bit

^^ I hear that ... i loooooove madlib but at the end of the day how many beat tapes do I need?

i dunno i'm digging, source material is a bit different

also i haven't really listened to any of this type of stuff for quite awhile so maybe i'm more in the mood

of course i'm still going to pick it up!

actually this is prob unfair because madlib seems like he just locks himself up in different rooms and constantly produces diverse work that other people are left to release

I have a lot of time for well eq'd loops but especially after all the medicine shows, I'd prefer a more surprising sort of release (matt have you listened to any of the medicine shows?)

nah honestly i listened to the freddie gibbs record which was ok but didn't do a ton for me, but i haven't been checking for this type of stuff for ages tbh

the production on the gibbs record was pretty restrained and boring imo, check out the 12 or 13 medicine show records madlib finished releasing a couple years ago, most are incredibly rewarding

I could go on and on about them, and probably have on some other thread, but I'm on a #12 kick right now

but this goes down great on a sunny sunday

He's got a new solo LP out, Sound Ancestors, and it's really great so far.

Yeah, it’s good. Arranged, edited and mastered by Kieren Hebden/Four Tet too.
