I liked it, quite chilled beats, mostly instrumental hip-hop, a little jazzy in places - but now I realise it's a compilation of what seems to be cassette, unreleased stuff (not that theres particularly anything wrong with that) can anyone suggest any other studio albums of his to check out? |
I'm not a Madlib expert by any means, but I know how daunting a challenge it can be to tackle his discography. It's fairly massive, sifting out the great from the good is almost impossible.
I suggest listening to
Madvillainy if you haven't already. It's Madlib's beats with MF DOOM on vocals. I also highly recommend anything that he does under the Quasimoto moniker, those few albums are all really awesome. And finally, anything of his with his Yesterday's New Quintet project will probably be right up your alley, it's all nu-jazz and such.
But really, you shouldn't be too concerned. As far as I can tell, Madlib hasn't recorded anything bad, ever. Everything I've heard from him has been top-notch, just choose something at random and get happy.
