Essential

Combining two of the best underground hip-hop artists of the early 2000s, this collaboration between <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/mf-doom-7b2eb175-5def-4425-83d7-834fcf0bb35a">MF Doom</a> and <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/madlib">Madlib</a> has been appropriately dubbed MADVILLAINY.

With both men known for their stunning soundscapes, rhyming skills, and schizophrenic personalities, the duo decided to have <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/madlib">Madlib</a> concentrate on the beats and let <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/mf-doom-7b2eb175-5def-4425-83d7-834fcf0bb35a">Doom</a> handle the lyrics. In mixing their comic-book-like personas, <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/madlib">Madlib</a> and <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/mf-doom-7b2eb175-5def-4425-83d7-834fcf0bb35a">Doom</a> play to their nearly superhuman strengths; while some other collaborations of this caliber seems forced and lop-sided, there is absolutely no filler here-just undiluted beats and rhymes, best exemplified by the singles <i>America's Most Blunted</i> and <i>All Caps.</i> <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/jaylib-j-dilla-madlib">Lib's</a>inventive production leans towards the jazzy side of his repertoire, and <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/mf-doom-7b2eb175-5def-4425-83d7-834fcf0bb35a">Doom</a> unleashes outrageous lyrics on par with his solo efforts (and even his work as Zevlove X in his stint with K. M. D. ). Never flashy or glamorous, MADVILLAINY is served straight up, the way hip-hop was meant to be.
