A soulstrut original: Madlib Appreciation thread !
- Thread starter damms
- Start date
I am a big fan of a lot of his production, but a hater of his rap "skills". Every now and again, someone will post a sample ID request for one of his tracks or another, or an ID for something wild he throws in a mix he's done. I don't think this happens quite as frequently on the Strut for any other recording artist--but I could be wrong.

As a producer, when he makes a hit it's a hit. But when he misses, the fanboys call it a classic while everyone else knows it's clearly a miss. The production on the Quasimoto albums were thoroughly enjoyable to me. I remember listening to one of his Mind Fusion albums and I LOVED this beat. So much I want to steal it.
In fact he's basically given me the OK to.
I like the work he's done with Karriem Riggins. I played this song repeatedly for some time for a while.
Haters gon' hate, but I'm not in the mood for that. Too time-consuming.

I was waiting for someone to post something off the WLIB lp. Life and the song featuring J Rocc stayed on repeat. I need to dig that back out and play it again.
ha ha decidedly the Strut is full of surprises.

I can understand the criticism for some (or a lot) of his "jazz" experiments but when it comes to his Hip Hop output I think he's on point 80% of the time. if that makes me a fanboy well...so be it

the WLIB album was unfairly hated on. it's full of dope joints
I still dunno how this is not more widely recognized but the production on the second Dudley Perkins >>>>> the one on A Lil' Light
actually I rank it in my top 5 or even 3 Madlib productions.
thanks to Mr 'Poet Pass the weak' for his impeccable beat selection on that one

Co-sign on the above Dudley post. But, I've definitely got a sweet spot for A Lil Light.

Cosmo said:Also, I have to say that I prefer the beats that Madlib did on the Jaylib project to the Dilla ones.
I'm not really trying to get into a debate on this, but I feel the exact same way. Some of Dilla's felt out of place w/ Madlib rapping.

I doubt most folks around here would deny that dude's got some good tracks. He just throws an outrageous amount of shit against the wall, so nobody but his fanboys has the time or patience to pick the wheat from the chaff.
That said, it's hilarious that the one dude who's constantly riding for THAT GOOD OLD UNDERGROUND RAPP starts a Madlib appreciation thread and acts like anyone is going to be surprised about it.
DID I JUST DO THAT? OH SNAP! I WENT THERE! Nah, dude, it's cool, we get it. You get weekly shipments from Fatbeats and have a sticker collection on your cratez. Rad.

Cosmo said:Youtube wasn't giving nathan but "Rebirth Cycle (Super Soul)" is one of my favorite beats of all time.
named after the spiritual jazz masterpiece of the same name by Mtume, i presume.
I ride for madlib, in the same way i ride for sun ra - prolific and genial. and yes rough round the edges, but it is what it is.
fuckit, i celebrate the entire catalouge, my felow bouteeq diggeurs.

I think you got me confused with sbdy else

Madlib had the hottest samples but Dilla held his own pretty well I think
not his fault if Madlib isn't Kool Keith
did y'all hear the outtakes ?
with the demo versions
the og beat of the Heist is too epic
but this is a Madlib appreciation thread , let's not derail
this is the 1st Madlib beat that made me think whoa I gotta find out more about this dude
I had heard about the Quas stuff but wasn't too big on leftfield hip hop at the time
in 2004 I wasn't bumping Madvillainy but Snoop's R&G son !
he's the main reason I got deep into listening to Jazz and all the crazy shit he takes his samples from
to those who abhorre his ynq stuff
you should listen to Ugly Beauty as Malik Flavors (that alias must refer to the AAC bassist and percussionist)
I think it's his best jazz experiment release to date. he was in a zone
