MADLIB - C OR D

http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/store/covers_large/MAD002CD-2-Back.jpg

'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.

I didn't know that but it makes perfect sense.

What is it? Collage snippets of loops?

oh cross posted to four tet. it's really great.

listened to it today while working, didnt get to dial in on it too close but it had some great tracks for sure. def sounds like what i would hope a madlib/four tet collab would sound like

love this record

yeah.
i only have madlibs blue note and trojan mixtapes that are credited to him and are great albeit via an excess of sharp cuts.
whereas this is exactly what i needed re samples/beats.
i love it.

def sounds like what i would hope a madlib/four tet collab would sound like

Or at least like the Madlib tracks that Four Tet would most like :)

I had not much of an idea of what to expect from this album, but one thing I'm pretty sure it wasn't, was a sample of Renaldo & the Loaf! ("Critical/Dance" off The Elbow Is Taboo, in "Loose Goose" around 1:44).

The fun thing is that this bit made me question the sounds earlier in the track, which had formerly sounded plausibly Jamaican to match the vocals -- I start wondering whether he has reorganized some slightly silly kazoo/comb bits from "Hambu Hodo" (2:36 on) from the same album?

The kazoo bits in Loose Goose are also from Critical/Dance, just later in the track.

love the use of young marble giants on dirtknock
