Top Comments of this video!! :3
i first heard this in 2005 and really liked it, but kinda took it for granted; not realizing how much of a landmark album it really was, how ahead of its time it was, and how legendary it would become. it's so densely packed with musical ideas, one of those you can hear something you never noticed before on each listen.
thanks for doing a deep dive into this, can't think of an a hip hop album that deserves this kind of expert breakdown more.

Just wanna add 19:46 DOOM is actually making you believe he means the track is butter but in actuality he is referencing the beat as HOT as he quotes in the next line Jeopardy game show style: “what is Jalapeños”

Outstanding. The way you tied this whole story together at the end by saying "The music coming out is hip hop, but the music going IN could be absolutely anything." I feel this quote alone could help many people who have a strong hatred towards hip hop have a chance to understand that, it's more than what just lingers on the surface; it's when you deep dive into these tracks when shit gets real and you realize how dense this art form truly is!

As someone who grew up playing orchestral instruments and listening to 90s Hip Hop, I never had a problem with what he said in the interview. His production and wordplay show his dedication to the craft, but that doesn't mean he has to like what the genre is doing.
It also isn't unique. Several artists have stated that they don't listen to the genre they play and, oddly enough, this often comes up when an interviewer try to get a rock star or whatnot to talk bad about rap music yet suddenly learn that they love it and listen to it all the time over the genre they're actually in 😂
Some musicians like to live the music 24/7 and others like more of a blank slate approach.

I bought this album shortly after it was released and the 1st time I listened to it was when my best friend picked me up to go on a road trip to where I was getting married. (he was my best man) Driving out to that location to meet up with my wife of almost 20 years is oddly what I ALWAYS think of when hearing "Madvilliany." That album really was like the perfect soundtrack for our little road trip... this blunted out rap album playing as we cracked jokes. It was the swan song to our relationship as a new chapter was about to unfold in my life.

One of the coolest things about accordion to me is how Madlib used the clicks in the original sample to serve as hi-hats. It’s such a small detail but adds a lot character to the song.
