Apparently madlib had made this album some years prior and it just got lost in the shuffle of all his other music he was making. He stumbled upon it again after digging through tapes of his and decided to release it. Crazy how it almost never came out to begin with, makes you wonder how much amazing music he has that'll likely never see the light of day

[@ohianaw]

Peanut Butter Wolf convinced him to release it. If he didnt do that The Unseen wouldve never came out

The "tap dancing" sounds in "Come on Feet" are actually part of the music sampled directly out of a sci-fi cartoon movie called "La Planete Sauvage", where giant aliens are dropping something like marbles.

[@funkrabbit6599]

the "understanding microphone mathmatics" is from De La Soul "The Bizness" (or is it "Stakes is High"?) from the "Stakes is High" LP - well worth reviewing. Also, the "skit" was really introdcued in full by De La Soul's "3 Feet High and Rising", another one well worth a review!

In regards to west coast boom bap theres more than a few groups that utilize it such as The Pharcyde from LA and Hieroglyphics aka souls of mischief from Oakland CA. I am loving the videos guys. One artist worth a listen to is DELTRON 3030. He is one of the only artists I know of that performs with a LIVE ORCHESTRA everytime he performs in person. He was also a member of Hieroglyphics previously.

[@TheRogers04]

You and your dad definitely need to check out ATMOSPHERE-YESTERDAY

[@gd5158]

Kai, I STRONGLY advise you to listen to DJ Troubl's mixtape A Journey Into Fresh Digging, it's an amazing mix where Troubl mixes Quas's songs with the original samples to create a seamless and beautiful experience that further emphasizes and celebrates the original samples. I was obsessed with it for a while. Dad, I think the best way to look at this album is a collaboration between Madlib as the procuder and Quas as the rapper, with Madlib occasionally rapping. As you could tell it's a rap album from the producer's perspective so many of the songs are about celebrating old music, homages, and talking about the craft of crate digging and sampling and making music. This album literally changed my life, took me from being a teenager who's lost in the world to an adult who wants to do nothing but make art and be proud of his creative quirks. Today I live in Los Angeles, met Madlib and his brother several times and work with Stones Throw (the label that's responsible for putting out all of Madlib's early stuff). Btw, Madlib NEVER wanted to put out the Quasimoto stuff but after Peanut Butter Wolf, the guy who runs Stones Throw Records, heard it, he insisted on putting it out and thus came out one of the most bizarre, inspirational and unique voices in Hip Hop history.

[@enthuc]

Thanks for the reco! It's dope you work with/for Stones Throw..Especially my mid -to-late 2010's was full of their music (MNDSGN, Gabriel Garzon Montano being the top 2 artists..., Washed Out, Knxwledge, Anderson .Paak before Aftermath stuff)

[@gd5158]

@@enthuc Yes they're amazing ! I was a the biggest fan of Stones Throw in the mid to late 2000's, when I was a teenager. So literally every single Madlib release, Lootpack, Oh No, Dudley Perkins, MED, My Vinyl Weighs a Ton, Charizma was what changed my life. Along with DOOM and Dilla. But yes Strong Arm Steady, Jonwayne, MNDSGN, Dam Funk, Anika and everything else that came in the early 2010's was incredible as well.

[@gd5158]

@@enthuc I was a kid in the middle east thinking that Oxnard was the sickest place in the world because of all the ST artists coming from there. THE OX! Then I moved to LA and realized, it's just another boring small city haha And yes, DJ Troubl's mixtape is a fuckin beautiful experience, I hope we can make Kai notice this and make him listen to it I'm sure he'll go crazy for it

This video is so cool to me bro... first cuz "The Unseen" is one of the first albuns that made me go deep into hip hop fr and search the so called "underground" of this genre.

[@sensi7476]

Would be cool if you mentioned that Madlib makes Quasimoto albums while he's high on mushrooms! That's what makes Come On Feet such an iconic song. Just imagining Madlib sitting making that song and can't move his legs, haha! Also, and this might just be me, but i hate that you cut parts. I was vibing and singing along for most the album, just to be disappointed by the cuts. Again, might just be me! Really cool video, will check out more from you guys!

[@kappacino91]

Organized Konfusion - "Invetro"......You and your dad will not be disappointed!

[@randomanton]

this is one of the albums that are extremely niche, even for people who like underground hip hop. madlib in general is an artist who loves the craft of bending things to abstraction, like experimental jazz. especially the second quasimoto album has unorthodox beats, but i used to play that album a lot on 'cruises'

Everything from Quasimotos hilarious pitched cartoon voice, the surreal and druggy production, Madlib and Quasimoto exchanging verses together, the absurd of amount of samples ranging from cryptic, hilarious and straight up bangers and so much more. So glad you gave this album a chance because its something truly special. Also you explaining Quasimoto to your dad made me laugh so much I dont know why. Good stuff man you earned a sub. Madlib was also on shrooms when he made this
