"Did ANYBODY listen to Beat Konducta in Africa?!"


          

I've enjoyed the whole Beat Konducta series so far, but this one has quickly risen to the top of the pile for me. For those who say Madlib's beats don't knock, PLEASE listen to this tape. The drums still aren't as loud as I guess some people want, but the actual bass lines are unbelievably funky. I sometimes find Madlib's beats more *interesting* than danceable, but he brings it on every level on this album. To think he just socked it away among the other 12 albums in the Medicine Show series. I dunno what we did to deserve this guy, but Thank God for him.

8.99 on Amazon digital. Worth checking out.

What I didn't like about was how quiet it sounded; there wasn't enough energy to some of the beats. I've slowly warmed up to it.

Quality release from Madlib. Was one of my favorites out of the 13 Medicine Shows.

I don't like the beat anymore because its just a loop. ALC didn't FLIP IT ENOUGH!

love the theme of connecting hip-hop to africa

cohesive, fun, head nodding, great (if subtle) drums

has helped me work thru an hour and change of a dreary work day on many occasions

i like the bonus tracks but i keep it on my player as just the main 37 tracks bc it all fits together so well

At first, as is the case for many Madlib projects like these, it's pretty daunting and droning at first. Confusing, hard to follow, not too much that sticks out.

But on the 3rd listen after giving it a month or so to sink in, it is quite enjoyable and probably the best Medicine Show release.

If you liked In India, you'll love this one as well.
