i just realised, that there is no other producer which can touch dilla's level of detail than madlib. his beats are just insanely smooth and so well equalized and planned than even the best beat makers. madlib is a crazyyyy genius!!
Robert Calkins I think so. Kenny Dorham and Hank Mobley are just those names that didnt get big back then I guess and now looked upon as legends so all there records skyrocketed in value. I could be wrong but thats my guess. But I see fucked up hank mobley records sell for thousands same with kenny.
i live in east austin, a few minutes away from 'kenny dorham's backyard,' an outdoor venue near where he used to live, with food trucks and murals all over the place.
one of my favorite things to do is hop on the city bus with my headphones and bump hip hop while hittin up record stores all over austin, tx im in my own world and its awesome
i was once told creating a great song was like writing an essay.. you take concrete details (samples) and phase them into your music to support your production (commentary) and you make it all flow together.. a well put together song is like a well written essay
Much Love to the MAD... undeniably one of the most original producer/emcee on the set... this particular album brought me closer to understanding the true essence of the link between jazz and hip-hop. GENIUS
The coolest thing about Madlib is; he just makes music for fun. Which allows him to create whatever he wants freely. He's not concerned on whether it is liked or not. He's going to keep making tunes for his own sake and if many just so happen to bop their heads to it, then he's like "Oh, you like that? Nice!"
this still remains as one of the chillest songs AND videos i've seen. not even my favorite Madlib beat..but its the perfect "background" song...you could do anything w/ this song. jog while listening to it, paint, clean your room, party, cruise around the streets, have a meal...DAMN lol.
When you really stop and think about, Madlib is a real world musician. Some of my favorite musical acts, including jazzanova and 4 hero share very similiar musical tastes with him. I like the fact that they've all made styles in jazz, broken beats, brazilian rhythms and avant-garde hip-hop.....pure genious.
You are witnessing a TRUE hip hop artist, not a rapper, not a producer, not a beat maker but a painter of rhythm. This cat been digging in crates WAY before it was cool. And WAAAY after it was necessary. In a word? Authentic. Give it up.
@stonesthrow Man.... one of the greatest music videos ever made. How is this NOT RESTORED in HD? As a huge supporter and fan, PLEASE PLEASE restore this epic.
thats it art of the world music everywhere..women are good, music is everything...creativity, sound, colors, thats life madlib you opened my eyes, i love what you do, keep creating your own style, change the world. and great editing of the video, summarize everything you do in 3 and a half minutes in the best way
@RecklessWonders A full dj premier/madlib album that could be nothing only a pure hip hop classic!I wonder if we'll ever see that one day..The 2 best hip hop producers on the planet on one nice long album!
@arouska Agreed. Cannot stress enough how awesome it is that stones throw keeps it as real as all their artists do and doesn't stick ad's in their videos. Keep the good stuff coming!!! Never a bad album from stones throw records.
youtube is using this new tool, it lets you choose your reactions on videos, im glad to say im the first one to react to this as a classic, along with many other great videos such as this one.
Such a great respect paid and love shown to Gene Harris and his book of slim in this one. It's like reinventing great track again but for for modern times.
he doesn't have to clear samples for projects on "minor" labels, but for major ones he has to. for shades of blue, blue note records gave him original master reels of all those songs he remixed.
I was Like you 2 years ago I give up my guitar for a set of Turntables till this day Im still scratching my own shit thanks to this catz the guitar just plays few types of music Hip Hop is everything in one.
This video is the perfect example of why sampling is a true way to pay homage to past generations of music, instead of stealing. Just look at all those jazz heads floatin in the back!
I have this & the vault edition.. where he had dibs on classic records with no restrictions,I died hearing those.. he is a jazz musician but hip hop is his instrument
Just threw up a few dope vids from his show in San Francisco 01-29-10. I listen to Madlib a few hours everyday, so Im deep into his catalog Every beat I heard last night is pure exclusive shit, with the new Beat Konducta Africa, The Medicine Show series, new Madvillian etc etc.... he's got us knee deep in new dope shit
