MB Classics: Madvillain - Madvillainy

Nah. They're ****ing great but this record's a different animal. DOOM's flow and rhyme scheme is wild and lays over the dynamic and abstract beats in an unexpectedly clean way. Plus his character inflection in his storytelling is unique as hell.

Not my favorite jazz / rap album, but a 10 nevertheless. I made black friends because of this album.

Best thing hes ever done along with food and doomsday imo.

The abstract atmos on this is some of the best I've heard on a hip hop record.

Some of the best production, bass lines and sampling I've heard on a hip hop record.

Perfect run time for a hip hop record of this calibre as it doesn't overstay it's welcome.

Some of madlibs best stuff on this thing too.

That's funny cause when they were talking about who's the king of hip hop De La Soul Threw DOOM's name in the ring.

Not that this would matter to you cause you can't differentiate his style from the style of those artist you mentioned. The only comparison i see is that they're in the same genre.

Putting on blackface and standing in front of the mirror doesn't count.

Whatcha make them out of?

As for me, I'm at sea here. I have no knowledge of, experience of nor really interest in what this album/these guys did for hip-hop. You might as well ask me to vote on an influential jazz or punk album. All I can do is listen to it and do an ISB on it: judge it on the merits of what I hear, not the influence it had or anything like that. So my vote may not be too high, but it will be honest. All I can do, guys. This ain't my wheelhouse but I'm gonna give it a shot.
