Customer Reviews

This would be the best movie ever...
Madlib is at it again, and finally drops a truly amazing double album of his tripped out beats. The smoke is in the air, the samples are wild, and the bass is bumpin. Sure we love to hear rhyming over his beats whether it be Doom, MED, Wildchild, Declaime, or Lord Quas. But this right here is what the true Madlib fans, the "beat connosieurs," wanna hear over and over again. I first came across this project when the first half, Vol 1., was available only on vinyl. As soon as I laid that record on my turntables I was blown away, his evolution of beatmaking is unprecedented. Just when you thought you heard it all, he comes back and knocks you on your SP/MPC ass. He opens the album with a short message from Busta Rhymes quickly followed by a mesmerizing cut-up sample by, now correct me if I'm wrong, the legendary Freda Payne? I would absolutely love to see Stones Throw put out an interpretive film version of this album. Not to mention the fact that it is the perfect companion album to J Dilla's Donuts, those two were definitely cut from the same cloth. And just like Dilla's Donuts, it is guaranteed to be in my CD player for a long, long time. We gotta keep sampling freedom alive, so that true artists like Madlib can use the tools of old to paint masterpieces like this one.

Far from disappointing
Finally after reading reviews and listening to snippetts, I broke down and bought. The tracks aren't that long but they deliver. Can't belive i slept on this as long as i did. Better late than never, right! If you like tight beats without all the garbage lyrics of most of today's hiphop, then this cd is a must have.

Like going into Uncle Otis's attic....
And finding stories of stacks of old vinyls, dripping Yesterday and glowing Always. Cali's finest, Madlib, is definitely one of the heirs of DJ Premiere, Pete Rock, DJ Quik and other previous beat konductas that helped established the sound of true hip-hop as a platform where old school soul and new school technique are amalgamated. The latest Madlib Invasion is not for everybody; those of us who's butts were undeniably moved by Tribe's "Low End Theory" will definitely appreciate this endeavor. Those of you who are tired of what MTV and other corporate entities and pass off as hip hop, clean out your crazy Uncle Otis's attic check out the Beat Konducta. Then walk down the street to Mr. Yancey's house, go into his basement and check out J Dilla's "Donuts."
