I was watching some Roc Raida videos when I was reminded of this guy. Personally, he blows me away.

That they were.

Although, while looking back, I enjoy them more as individuals. You get much more of a sense of each one's style. Also, as I understand it, video didn't do them justice. Apparently in person, they were mind blowing. At least that's what I've heard from DJ's today, who at the time were still up and coming.

But now Roc's dead and everyone uses Serato (hence why DJ Fly's set is so incredible)

Get up on that education!

Madvillain (DOOM and Madlib) - Figaro

The rest is empty with no brain but the clever nerd
The best emcee with no chain ya ever heard
Take it from the Tec-9 holder
They bit and don't let a faint get Ishmael
A shot of Jack got her back it's not an act stack
Forgot about the cackalack, holla back, clack clack blocka
Villainy, feel him in ya heart chakra chart toppa
Star shit stoppa be a smart shoppa
Shot a cop day around the way 'bout to stay
But who'd a know there's 2 mo' that wonder where the shooter go
'Bout to jet, get him, not a bet, dead 'em
Let 'em spit venom said 'em got a lot of shit with 'em
Let the rhythm hit 'em, it's stronger in the other voice
We make the joints that make 'em spread 'em butta moist
Man, please. The stage is made of panties
From the age of baby hoochies on to the grannies
Ban me the dough rake, daddy
The flow make her fatty shake, patty cake, patty cake
For fake, if he was Anita Baker's man
He'd take her for her masters, hit it once an' shake her hand
On some ol' thank ya ma'am an' ghost her
She could mind the toaster if she sign the poster
A whole host of roller coaster riders
Not enough tracks (is it?)
Hot enuff black (for ya)
It's too hot to handle, you got blue sandals
Who shot ya? Ooh got you new spots to vandal?
DO not stand still, both show skills
Close but no crills, toast for po' ills, post no bills
Coast to coast Joe Shmoes flows ill, go chill
Not supposed to overdose, no Doz pills
Off pride tikes now talk wide though scar meat
Off sides like how Work rides with Starfleet
Told ya, on some get-riche shit
As he get older he gets colder tha a witch tit
This is it, make no mistakes
Where my nigga go?
Figaro, Figaro

O's beats and my rhumes attack
A scary act
All black like Ms. Mary Mack
Wait 'til you see 'em live on the piano
DOOM sings soprano like uno dos y'ano
My momma told me
Blast him and pass her her glass of Ol' E
Not to be troublesome
But I coul sure use a quick shot of double rum
No stick of bubble gum
I like ice cream
We could skip the wedding
Have anice dream
She only let him stick the head in



As far as producers go, no way can Rick Rubin be in the conversation at this point. Sure, he did work on some classics, but so have so many others. You're neglecting DJ Shadow and DJ Premiere (WHO ARE STILL HUGE), along J Dilla and Madlib who have inspired a crazy slew of laptop nerds to produce extremely forward thinking beats (Flying Lotus, Ras G, Samiyam, The Gaslamp KIller, Mike Slott, Dabrye, Nosaj Thing, and more). Dre is certainly one of the dirties producers ever, and Rick Rubin is a legend, but bother have been sleeping lately (relatively). Not to mention left-field cats like Diplo. His first record sounds like a DJ Shadow record, but now, he has been putting an American twist onto what the world has been dancing to for years.

As for Kanye. He's a really, really good producer, but he doesn't count because he is a jackass.

:shock:

You've never heard any of Madlib's catalog? This has got to change, quick.

Damnit, I tried finding a quick mediafire link to Quasimoto's "The Unseen" but I couldn't. Here's the music video from one of the singles off that record called, "Come On Feet". Pretty unique stuff.



And I agree on Shadow. He has fallen off a little lately, but I was hoping to cater to the logic you used for Rick Rubin and, presumably, Dre. Shadow's catalog is impressive. His live skills are even more impressive. I also meant the same for Premiere.

But yeah, find a torrent of as much of Madlib's work as possible. To do so, search names like Quasimoto, DJ Rels, Madvillain, Yesterday's New Quintet, Beat Konducta, or Jaylib as he is these, or at least one of those involved in these. He has more aliases, but I don't want to type them all. But I will remind you to get Jackson Conti which is soooo good.
