I didn’t see the Madvillainy album coming.
I desperately needed good hip hop at the time I heard the album. I still do to this day actually.
From the moment I listened to Madvillainy, I understood why it made so many Best-Of year end lists when it was released. I and many consider to be the best hip hop album of the decade. If non-hip hop magazines loved that album, then there was something there for me. Ever since then, I've been the biggest Madlib fan that either of us know.
MF Doom had become one of hip hop’s most notable figures and teamed up with Madlib to produce what I and many consider to be the best hip hop album of the last ten years, Madvillany.
I was so discouraged and disappointed at the lack of creativity, originality a the time that I almost didn’t want to hear Madvillainy when it was presented to me.
It just goes to show that any artist is capable of turning out masterpieces under the right circumstances.
There was a hope that the next Madvillain project would give even more bang for the buck than the first. Unfortunately, we lost M.F. Doom a few years ago.
