Madvillain
Madvillainy
(Stones Throw, 2004)

I’m no hip hop historian, but to these ears Madvillain sounds like a cornball revival of Gang Starr, which is awesome obviously. Something about the combination of Madlib’s muffled old school beats and Doom’s talkable delivery all twisted up and candied with super villain samples just make Madvillainy irresistible.
