I started listening to DOOM when I was 15 then I found Madlib soon after and I’ve never heard better beats than madlibs and never heard better rhymes than DOOM’s
I have been a silent viewer for close to two years now, and it makes me happy how far you've come. You're one of the best teachers I have seen and have a very high production quality, every subscriber is deserved
Over the last 25 years, Madlibs music is so incredibly diverse. The Quasimoto beats are totally different to the Freddie Gibbs stuff, which is then totally different to the Jaylib & Madvillainy and shades of blue beats. But you’ll find similar trends across most of these albums which relates to where he sources his samples - bollywood & Brazilian soul for example
"Some niggas be sampling the same ass shit
Some niggas be looping up them played out hits
But that's more for me, plus the peeps I'm down with
We strive to create some way out other shit" —Madlib
Madlib for me has always been the distillation of simplicity over complexity, when it comes to beats. Simplicity meaning not adding unnecessary complexity to samples but instead musically looping and reshaping them. Idk if that makes sense totally, but definitely feels like he's collabing with the original artist to createsomething raw, new or flipping it entirely. When I first heard Raid on Adult Swim watching The Boondocks back in 2000 whenever, it kicked off something for me sound wise, there's just something about the way he makes a beat that calls back to that feeling of watching Swim bumps in your living room late at night or riding the bus in LA.
The way madlib thinks and his creative process is magic ✨ it literally is not something one can't replicate at all. People can try but they can't. Madlib is in his own lane, just like Alchemist said.
I'm absolutely hype for this video. Madlib, Dilla and The Alchemist are my biggest inspiration. I've been studying his Medicine Show Series as I would like to mix beats like that. His top 5 easily.
