Anyway yeah the Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf album is terrific, and the description of it above is ridiculously dead-on. The first thing I thought of was Big L minus the new york thug posturing.
The Lootpack album is great, saying something is "Sub-pharcyde" is not an insult as the Pharcyde's first album is nigh-untouchable. The Lootpack album is still wonderful.
Madvillain is obv. greatness.
Jaylib is...ok.
scott seward...why the revulsion towards "jazzy" hip-hop? I hate the words used as a description because they are woefully inadequate to describe sample based early 90s hip-hop and are rock critic terms. It seems to me like you might be reacting more to the critical diction rather than the actually music.

if you have the blue note cd he did, check out the untinted cd. its on blue note as well, and is basically all the originals madlib remade for his album. its cool to compare.
― dickvandyke (dickvandyke), Sunday, 20 June 2004 20:32 (nineteen years ago) link
And the promo stuff for the Rels album is working the nu-jazz tag hard. But I like it a lot anyway. It's cool. Great beats.
― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 June 2004 20:37 (nineteen years ago) link
Agreed. Or he at least should, y'know, actually practice and learn how to play keyboards before releasing any more of that material.

i have the Oh No album (Madlibs bro) whcih has some superb tracks as well as filler .. and then there is the return of Quasimoto soon. i never heard the unseen album .. but i have the new ep .. aint sure what i think just yet .. its a mixture of superb loops and the trademark helium vocals which i suspect after a few spins could really annoy ..
anyone jumped on the recent cd/DVD set .. worthy of hardearned ?
or a one spin only DVD ?
also .. my copy of Vinyl Weighs a ton is on Copastetik recordings - not Stonesthrow .. did Stones reissue it ?
so much. so little time..

Georgia Anne Muldrow's new album drops in March with Madlib producing. First time he's produced a female artist too, I believe.
― Frozen_Warnings, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:50 (twelve years ago) link
well he produced a few tracks for NuAmerykah pt. 1
still, this might be something to look out for!

actually went back to strawberry incense on pt 2 yesterday, rad.i heard the first song from this record & wasn't really feeling it, but'll listen to anything he's doing right now, so still optimistic
― quick brown fox triangle (schlump), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
I probably should give Olesi some more listens: last time I played something from that album, I was v pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it
― incredible shrinking man on euphonium (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:58 (twelve years ago) link
Olesi's a wonderful album... in partic, Leroy.
― Harvey Weewax (stevie), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
I should have said this will be the first complete album Madlib has produced for a female artist. Lots of potential, hopefully.
― Frozen_Warnings, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
not to mention the best track on pt 2.
i wasn't too into that muldrow/madlib track i heard, but would kill for a full badulib lp.
