nah there's mixing issues too, listen to her vocals. Brickwalling is the fallback to the lack of a proper mix. ________ Big PEMFin H & z's █▆▇▅▇█▇▆▄▁▃ http://concretesoundsystem.com Mo'Nium - http://monium.tumblr.com/

This sounds mixed like all of madlibs songs, and the heavy compression is done on purpose, it's supposed to be an effect. Flying Lotus does it too. It sounds terrible in cars tho.
*broken record* you can accomplish the 'effect' within a proper mix. and calling it an effect doesn't take away from the fact that it's a shitty mix. aka why it sounds like crap in ya whip.
"Coming up this year: Homeboy Sandman, Quakers, The Minimal Wave Tapes 2, The Lions, Myron & E, Jonwayne, Dave Dub and more new releases from Dam-Funk, J Rocc, Jonti, CX and plenty of other as-yet-unmentionables." sure doesn't sound like the stones throw that milked the madlib underground cash cow for 10 years...

no replacement for madlib IMO, but i'll give it a listen
it seems like madlib's last project with ST might be madgibbs, but i could be wrong... either way, no proper followup to 'madvillainy' after all of these years would be totally anticlimactic and disappointing

there was a topic where sweeney was talking to me about it and specifically about the madlib medicine show imprint being or becoming separate from ST, with the writing on the wall that madlib is leaving... it might not be true at all, but it's becoming more believable every week

I don't know, I don't see the benefit to him leaving other than (potentially) more money. As an outsider/fan, I have a hard time believing he'd find a home as accommodating to his artistic whims as Stones Throw is/was. And he's never struck me as being all that interested in the business side of a label if MM Show is his own thing.
In fact, I'd be wildly disappointed if he left Stones Throw, now that I think about it.

i meant madlib invazion. i was always under the impression it was simply a sublabel (imprint) under stones throw like mind fusion. maybe madlib invazion is branching off into its a separate venture or always was one (BSharp among others can confirm).

me neither except for self-releasing, which i guess is what the idea is.

he always struck me as just a guy who makes music all day and hands it over to PB wolf to decide to put out in a few months or years or not, but maybe he realized that if he's working so hard and has a fan base that can support him, why share? maybe he doesn't feel he owes PB wolf anything more. i'm just theorizing here.

I was looking at his discography on the Stones Throw site and forgot how much he's actually released thru Madlib Invazion (recent releases, mostly). They still feel like Stones Throw releases and I believe are heavily featured on their front page when they drop so in the end it may not matter as a fan.

the original/working title was "madlib 1", which was track 1 from "Unknown album (7/18/2011 6:48:" so she probably just made and sang over a bunch of madlib loops last summer

.....with the exception of "The Unseen" and FAOLQ albums since him and Quas are real close. __ I don't like the beat anymore because its just a loop. ALC didn't FLIP IT ENOUGH!

...but that's just never been his m.o. since.......ever? Maybe the Lootpack/late 90's days when he was rapping more.
I will say it would be interesting to hear how a project would sound if he was more actively involved. Would there be a positive difference (the common assumption)? None at all?

on the seeds loop I mean I usually prefer when Madlib mixes the albums he produces like on OJ Simpson and the medicine shows. I only hope the sequencing and the beat selection will be on point like on Stoney Jackson or the MED and Dudley Perkins albums

Didn't think I'd find it in stores before the end of the month. I only played it once, so I can't express a definitive opinion yet, but it sounded kinda demo-ish. We'll see after a few more spins...
