Madvillainy’s Secret Ingredient: INDIFFERENCE

[@toma8283]

One of the coolest things about accordion to me is how Madlib used the clicks in the original sample to serve as hi-hats. It’s such a small detail but adds a lot character to the song.

The craziest thing about the accordion sample it isn't an accordion

[@3-meo-2-oxo-pce]

i first heard this in 2005 and really liked it, but kinda took it for granted; not realizing how much of a landmark album it really was, how ahead of its time it was, and how legendary it would become. it's so densely packed with musical ideas, one of those you can hear something you never noticed before on each listen. thanks for doing a deep dive into this, can't think of an a hip hop album that deserves this kind of expert breakdown more.

Just wanna add 19:46 DOOM is actually making you believe he means the track is butter but in actuality he is referencing the beat as HOT as he quotes in the next line Jeopardy game show style: “what is Jalapeños”

[@TerryBorderline]

When I think of Madvillainy I think of those cold nights walking home from school in multiple feet of snow, with only the warm beats and fire rhymes of DOOM and Madlib to keep me warm. I remember fervently arguing with my cousin about how MF DOOM was a better rapper than Lil Wayne, and at the time everyone thought i was absolutely insane, but I knew what I was listening to was way ahead of its time. Life came full circle when I was teaching Music Production with TCP and Northeastern University and one of my students cited MF Doom as the creators of one of their favorite songs. I responded: what do yall know about MF DOOM? to my surprise 4 our of 5 students exclaimed their love for DOOM, not one of them over the age of 17. I could've cried right there. Needless to say, I showed up to work in a DOOM shirt the next day. Madvillainy is an instant and true classic. PS. I've played them some of your videos and they LOVE them! Peace! LONG LIVE DUMILE

You are cultured sir

[@AidanTemplin]

Outstanding. The way you tied this whole story together at the end by saying "The music coming out is hip hop, but the music going IN could be absolutely anything." I feel this quote alone could help many people who have a strong hatred towards hip hop have a chance to understand that, it's more than what just lingers on the surface; it's when you deep dive into these tracks when shit gets real and you realize how dense this art form truly is!

[@PaulSeal]

This is one of my favourite ever records, it's absolutely flawless, madlib & MF DOOM just seem to be a perfect match. Thanks so much for all your time, knowledge and insight. A small super thanks for all videos and of course for TWO MF DOOM videos so close together

As someone who grew up playing orchestral instruments and listening to 90s Hip Hop, I never had a problem with what he said in the interview. His production and wordplay show his dedication to the craft, but that doesn't mean he has to like what the genre is doing. It also isn't unique. Several artists have stated that they don't listen to the genre they play and, oddly enough, this often comes up when an interviewer try to get a rock star or whatnot to talk bad about rap music yet suddenly learn that they love it and listen to it all the time over the genre they're actually in 😂 Some musicians like to live the music 24/7 and others like more of a blank slate approach.

[@ashtmslf2315]

Fun fact: The sample on Accordion isn't actually an Accordion, It's some kind of keyboard/organ. Hence the clicking sounds in the background of the keys being pressed

[@callumwilliams2172]

It sounds like a Melodica/Pump Organ

[@LucasdeMalpas-Player]

youre probably right but an accordion has keys tho

[@yanceyboyz]

I mean, Daedalus is literally in the video playing the accordion that he used to record "experience" which was sampled for this song......and Diatonic accordions literally have keys.....which is exactly what you can hear being pressed in the original sample.

[@akaimaniacmkii7524]

@@yanceyboyz the accordion in the video was probably a prop, there was an interview with Daedalus (maybe on Song Exploder?) in which he explains it was a fan powered reed organ and required multiple overdubs to achieve the final sound, due to the air power decreasing as more keys were held down

[@yanceyboyz]

@@akaimaniacmkii7524 ......keys...held down.....so it had keys.... which was my point

Just here to say fuck Egon for holding onto DOOMS belongings after he passed and not giving them to his family.

[@BraverSoul]

Hearing DOOM take that deep breath during the beginning of "Figaro" still gives me chills

[@Dawhud]

I bought this album shortly after it was released and the 1st time I listened to it was when my best friend picked me up to go on a road trip to where I was getting married. (he was my best man) Driving out to that location to meet up with my wife of almost 20 years is oddly what I ALWAYS think of when hearing "Madvilliany." That album really was like the perfect soundtrack for our little road trip... this blunted out rap album playing as we cracked jokes. It was the swan song to our relationship as a new chapter was about to unfold in my life.

[@Ride1098]

This literally has me tearing up. It’s a masterpiece and your breakdown of the album is more of a homage. Thank you.

Such sophisticated storytelling techniques [chef’s kiss]. Introducing Madlib’s ambivalence to Hip-Hop and leaving that thread open as you Segway back to the album. Gripping stuff! Also appreciate this video because I never got into MF Doom like many hip hop heads around me. This helps me finally understand why he is so exalted.

[@lightandthesungod]

Found this album from Meat Grinder, and ill be honest, it was a challenging first listen. But then i listened for a second time in a different frame of mind and it just worked, and gets better and better with each listen. This masterpiece is what got me into hiphop, and now im listening to legends like Nas and Pete Rock & CL Smooth (would be cool to see a breakdown on their album 'The Main Ingredient').

[@BacchusAurelius-yj4mb]

This album is so influential to alternative hiphop. Listening to JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown's album SCARING THE HOES reminded me a lot of this one.

[@matijailic9986]

Another great video, "Madvillainy" is truly one of the greatest hip hop albums ever made! I just wish you'd also mentioned instrumental cuts like "Sickfit" and "Supervillain Theme", as well as the song "Eye" where only Stacy Epps can be heard singing and which I always found extremely interesting in the context of the album. Like, it's an R&B cut that shouldn't really work here, yet it somehow makes this album complete, if that makes any sense. Love your channel!

[@JeffryGonzalezHt]

It's so inspiring to find on KZbin, which is ruled by "take" and "reaction" videos (which are fun, too!) to get some real music criticism: Knowledgeable, passionate, and powerful. I've listened to Madvillany a hundred times, but I will hear more the next time than I ever have. I think all anyone wants - and especially artists - is to be truly seen. That's what the mask always meant for me - like him saying "my face is unchanging, you'll have to look deeper to see what's really happening here", and you help get closer to that. Fantastic as always. Almost anyone who listens to that album can sense the genius behind it, but without it being pointed out it can slip into just "genre", and not seen as the art it really is. Thanks as always.

Yooooo! That All Caps flip is one of the best in hip hop ever... Always been a fan of KMD and I remember hearing this album 1st before the solos and purchasing it on Itunes for my Ipod... Bought it because of Madlib and the Cover Art. Recognized who the voice was instantly. I took a break from listening to hip hop for a couple of years because I felt like early 2000's wasn't the greatest. This album reinvigorated that love.. Went back and copped all the solos right after...

Another great episode of DTG! One of my favorite things about the Rhinestone Cowboy track is, when he reaches the end and the crowd cheers, DOOM's not satisfied that he didn't stick the landing with that last rhyme quite right. He lays down a few more bars to reach the conclusion more organically.

You’re videos always make me go back to these records and just get lost in them and fall in love with them all over again!! Thank u! Your work for these videos is nothing short of perfection!!! Side story about this album on a personal note: first of all, this album was on HEAVY HEAVY rotation when it came out! But when they announced this tour coming up to Toronto, me and all my crew and cousins all bought our tix with no hesitation! A tour with Madlib AND doom?? YES PLEASE!! Then they had a last minute addition. The concert ended up being a Madlib solo performance, Doom solo performance, a madvillain performance of the album, and, the last minute addition performance: dilla. Dilla did a solo/ Slum Village performance, then him and Madlib did a Jaylib performance. It ended with Madlib hopping on the drum set and just straight ripping the drums while people were heading out the door. If only they knew what was happening!! Anyway, needless to say, it’s the best concert i’ve been to. To catch all 3 legends on a single stage flipped my wig and blew my brain! So this video just brought me back to that time and era in Toronto when this new wave of hip hop was emerging. Thank u for bringing that feeling back man! Nuff respects and props! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Honestly i feel MF DOOM's take on doing rap just for the money fits him so much. Him making that statement does make him a supervillian. Though not in a sense of he's a villain because he's saying things to piss people off. That's who DOOM really was. He's a supervillians because fundamental the way he thinks and what he does is opposite to the to the traditional rap game. Which makes him the villain in story of rap. Love MF DOOM R.I.P.

[@kaiwagstaff3941]

Amazing video! When you were talking about the love DOOM has for language it made me think about my favourite little moment of this album, on Rhinestone Cowboy. DOOM ends his first verse masterfully with "You're blind, in the wine zone, leave your mind blown / When he shine with the 9, he's a rhinestone... cowboy" and then the applause comes in and you think the album is over, and you can finally relax after the aural assault of the past hour. But DOOM's clearly not happy that he wasn't able to manufacture the perfect rhyme scheme to also include the word "cowboy". So he says "no, no, no, enough" to all his applauding fans so he can come back in, spit another magnificent verse and somehow end this one with an even better 2 bars when enable him to eek out that perfect multi-syllable rhyme while also connecting it to the iconic symbol of DOOM, the mask: "she told him wear the mask, he said you bet your sweet ass / It's made of fine chrome alloy, find him on the grind, he's the rhinestone cowboy". That's hip hop.

To me, as someone who likes some hiphop but is not a massive fan of the genre, Madvillainy contains everything I love about hip hop and nothing of what I don't like about it.

This video was incredible. You know a KZbinr is good when you sub after only watching one of their videos.

You can get away with a lot if your careful about what you choose to use

[@shenanitims4006]

Likely didn’t. A lot of it is smaller stuff; and Doom’s albums would get yanked frequently for copywriter infringement. (Both “Operation: Doomsday” and its follow-up, “Mmm… Food” (a brilliant title, by the way, as it’s a album about food based on Doom’s own name) come to mind. (I believe “Mmm… Food sampled one of the last bands you ever want to try to sample: the Beatles.”)

If I understood the channel announcement correctly, all ad revenue from the video goes straight to the label instead of DTG.
