“Doing bong hits, on the roof, in the west coast.” Demos for the tracks “Figaro” and “Meat Grinder” came out of that trip, and Madvillain was born. Doom would show up each day, chatting with Madlib for a short while, writing on the back porch. The long-anticipated sequel to MF DOOM and Madlibs 2004 album Madvillainy was '85 done' at the time of the iconic artists death. Hebden told NPR that they contemplated postponing the album in the wake. We operated the label from a home at the time, and Madlib had set up shop in its former bomb shelter basement. Madlib’s new album Sound Ancestors, which was edited, arranged and mastered by Four Tet (aka Kieran Hebden) drops on Friday. He arrived in Los Angeles to meet Madlib some time in 2002. The crew here was devastated by the announcement a few days ago that he was no longer with us, a blow made somewhat less harsh by the wonderful letter posted by his family: Begin all things by giving thanks to THE ALL! However, for fans wondering if a beloved 2000s duo can make its return, MF DOOM gives hope. Madvillain, the duo of Madlib and MF Doom, released the absolutely classic album Madvillainy almost 15 years ago, and the world has been waiting ever since for them to follow it up. And thus began one of the great collaborations in Hip-Hop history, and the beginning of Stones Throw’s association with the one and only MF DOOM. DOOM admits that he did sign permission for 2008’s Madvillain remix album, with new beats by Madlib. As much as I love straight hip hop, this is a breathe of fresh air, innovative and interesting. When one day Madlib said he wanted to work with the MC, one of us knew a guy who knew the guy. Brilliant album, MF Doom's rap is thought out, clever, relevant but not indulgent or self absorbed, Madlib's production is great, good beats but still raw which is what hip hop is all about, second best producer after j dilla.
