MADLIB - C OR D

thoughts on wigflip?

crickets?

only heard the one promo track that's out, didn't really excite me

y'know what I need to go back and listen to? Jaylib - Champion Sound. I liked a couple of the singles but I don't think I gave the whole album a fair shot. I bet it's pretty good.

is it true he did a rmx of ronnie foster's mystic brew? any good?

that's probably the best song on the Blue Note record imo (Mystic Bounce)

"singles" as in the ones that were already out on 12" like The Red

madvillainy 2 is sort of ok.

that's just remixes, right? madvillainy verses over new beats?

C!

borrowed time from madvillainy 2's incredible, apart from, weirdly, the vocal bit, just with a beat behind it. the surrounding sound collages are amazing though.

dil cosby's pretty alright, nothing amazing tho

Here we go into 2010...

November 10, 2009

Madlib is launching the Madlib Medicine Show, a once-a-month, twelve-CD, six-LP series. The Madlib Medicine Show will be a combination of Madlib's new hip-hop productions, remixes, beat tapes, and jazz, as well as mixtapes of funk, soul, Brazilian, psych, jazz and other undefined forms of music from the Beat Konducta's 4-ton* stack of vinyl.

Madlib Medicine Show No. 1 is Before The Verdict featuring Guilty Simpson, a 17-track album mixing remixes and new material, something of a prelude to Madlib & Guilty Simpson's forthcoming OJ Simpson album.

MP3: Madlib & Guilty Simpson - The Paper from Madlib Medicine Show No. 1

STONESTHROW.COM advance release date: December 2009
WORLDWIDE release date: January 2010

We are currently planning for the vinyl edition of Madlib Medicine Show No. 1 to be a hand-screened, limited edition release. Madlib Medicine Show No. 2, Flight to Brazil, is a mixtape of Brazilian jazz, funk, prog-rock, folk and psychedelia. Later releases will include Beat Konducta in Africa.

(*4-tons of vinyl, this is true.)

invasion vasion vasion vasion vasion

that should be interesting, a good way to keep track of the insane amount of music dude releases. guilty simpson is awesome for a few songs and then it's just too much angriness and stupidity and i have to listen to something else.

i rep the D, so when you speak about me
i'm the letter between C and E
In fact i'm the one between 3 and 3
with a smokin gun commitin B and E's

beat konducta in africa?

doooooooope.

anyone know if 'all i love' is sampling the roots 'act too (love of my life)', or if it's sampling something older that the roots replayed for their track? i'm guessing the latter, since the madlib one has flutes doing what is a vocal part on the roots track.

Madlib is launching the Madlib Medicine Show, a once-a-month, twelve-CD, six-LP series.

Wonder if there are any plans to launch a CD subscription series for this stuff. I'm hesitant to drop $13.99 on each individual CD but I'd gladly shut my eyes, plunk down $140 or so, and be really happy to receive one CD per month in the mail...

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)?
