Madvillainy is an all time favorite album of mine Rhinestone Cowboy is one of my favorite songs off the album ending of verse 1 DOOM: “You're blind in the wine zone Leave ya mind blown when he shine with the 9 He's a rhinestone…cowboy” *audience starts clapping* *DOOM realizing “cowboy” didn’t fit the rhyme scheme* DOOM: no no no enough ending of verse 2 DOOM: “Its made of fine chrome alloy Find him on the grind He's the rhinestone cowboy!!” DOOM is such a perfectionist!

Path, you have absolutely no idea the absolute GRIP this album has on people aged 25-35 years old. For many of us, this was our first introduction to rap music that wasn't club music. A lot of us couldn't understand what he was saying, but...we felt it? It was a type of sound that many of us had never heard before. It really was a door for more non mainstream music for many of us.

​@@vepplyHonestly, I think a lot of trap is that way where it sounds hard af the first listen but then loses its appeal on the second or third listen. Definitely not all trap tho but it's the genre where I see it the most

[@samthedystopianrat1945]

i hated it first listen. heard a King Gheedorah song in a hip hop themed fish and chip shop a couple months later, which made me check out Fancy Clown- which I remembered liking- and eventually i relistened. Now it's my third or fourth fav album of all time(tossed up with Hounds of Love by Kate Bush)

[@sentinelgaming8139]

At one time i had the whole album on my playlist but now only a few

[@Shouldvesaidsomething69]

What a brilliant breakdown. Also a fun fact from Rhinestone Cowboy - the applause and cheers you hear are taken from Glen Campbell’s 1975 live version of his song Rhinestone Cowboy. Many thanks for your great work

[@pathreacts]

such an awesome detail. thank you for sharing!

[@steelooo0]

Idk if anyone commented about this, but the sample for Raid (America Latina - Osmar Milito) isnt a 4/4 beat, but has a 3/4 time signature. and the way that madlib samples it so interesting and cool, he fills the empty spaces within the sample which creates that distinct chop. Madlibs sampling is so cool

Something of note that I find interesting about "Eye" is that DOOM has said that he liked having at least one feminine track on the second-half of most of his records. Whether it be a song about feminity or a female artist featured, it's a theme that you can see in all of his work.

[@brotherkorptchov4467]

To me, he always managed to have the best female features

[@lth_lch]

Some albums are cinematic through their captivating storytelling and the progression of an overarching narrative, this one feels like watching a marathon of your favorite Saturday morning cartoon, and I mean that in the absolute best way possible.

[@pathreacts]

absolutely!!!

[@nomorepartiesintyo]

What I love about Madvillainy is that even now it sounds so fresh, and is so packed that even after a bunch of listens you can always find some new, ridiculously clever lyrics or bits of music production. Also, great work (as always) Path! I somehow stumbled upon your Flower boy video last summer, and it's been such a pleasure to (re)discover a bunch of albums alongside your videos.

[@DolFionn]

Excellent video analysis of the album. It brings me so much joy watching someone light up the way you do at something I hold dear, and I think this video has made me appreciate the album even more than I did before.

[@ryanvogel2489]

i’m honestly surprised by this reaction. tbh i struggled to truly appreciate this album on my first listen or even after multiple listens. Path, you have an amazing ability to absorb and interpret the music. You have inspired me to re- listen. great job

[@pathreacts]

thank u so much for this. 🥹

[@LOAFVINO]

i remember being obsessed with this album when i heard it 10 years ago, and yet it has still been in rotation yearly. with each listen you still hear a new bar a new pun or a new rhyme pattern. DOOM is your artist's favorite artist for a reason. i genuinely believe this is the greatest hip hop album with how timeless, creative, and unique it is. im so glad you reacted to it :) some appreciation in his flows can be seen if you watch some of those rhymes highlighted videos :o ill never understand how he was able to rhyme multiple lines at a time consistently

[@MourneBand]

The Frank Zappa "Sleeping in a jar", Meat Grinder sample is still the coolest thing in the album for me

[@pathreacts]

oops i think i cut it from the edit haha. what’s the significance of the sample?

[@NeutralMjolkHotel]

@@pathreactsI don’t think it’s particularly significant in its meaning - Frank Zappa is just the king of experimental rock and it’s cool that madlib picked it. Though entirely different genres, their oddball and abstract nature is the same.

[@jaydestone54]

I'm new to your channel and I gotta say, I've seen a lot of people "react" to this album, but your reaction and format are unmatched. Great job, glad you enjoyed it! 'MM FOOD' is a fantastic album, full of even more samples, you'll dig it. Also please consider Lupe Fiasco's Discography, he's another incredible lyricist. 'Food & Liquor' would be a good starting place.

[@carlmcgrath484]

Such an underrated part of this album is how the skits switch between describing ‘Madvillain’ as 1 person and multiple. Kind of makes the idea of Madvillain seem more mysterious. Is it an organisation, a single super villain, a duo? Who knows

[@pathreacts]

i think i was just left confused so i refer to it as The Villain and The Villains depending on the song 😆

another amazing piece! thank you for your work!!! one of my all time favorite records, and I have to say: my favorite thing about this video is the way you let yourself not love it/or let it not be quite your speed. that’s so much harder, I’d guess, than feigning false, total love. especially for a record held so dearly and tightly and durably for so many fans-myself included: a decade and a half of listening to this and thinking it’s the best thing I’ve ever heard.

[@InkZie]

this is one of the greatest pieces of art to ever happen to music, not just hip hop. genuinely breaks the boundaries of all time of music, plus it had the same effect as Illmatic had when that dropped because when everyone saw how insane DOOM’s rapping was, everyone else just said “aight nah, I need to step up my game” even though these projects are drastically different, the money store by death grips is what I consider the dystopian madvillainy. instead of the humor in the complex world play, it’s replaced with vile, pure manic and evil lines of some of the most brutal things any man has ever said, all paired with, while overloading in terms of how industrial and all over the place they are, earworm-esque instrumentals. it’s just pure animalistic energy, it is not a fun project, just pure brutality. and yet somehow it’s not even the most brutal project death grips as made LOL. I’d HIGHLY suggest trying out the money store for a more insane and mindblowing experience, even though I do prefer madvillainy over it. just a suggestion :D

HI PATH! i really love your reactions, you always look into the album more and add explanations to tracks and try to understand them after you heard them once because you know you can misunderstand things in music a lot, i love it so much! I have a recommendation, you should listen to Madlib and MED's album "Bad Neighbor" specifically the 2021 version because they basically remade the album and mixed it again as the original was mixed weirdly. Its really amazing!!! It has anderson Paak, and DOOM and just MED and Madlib work so well together!! Please consider this!!

Also you’ll learn different facts about food..

[@Qonvex]

[@crackhair3998]

i like this kind of almbum reactions that's more structured and almost a live review, very fun and relaxing

Path’s voice makes these videos feel like if those meditation apps did album breakdowns 😂

[@khalewren2734]

This album is incredible, i recommend MM… FOOD as well, both are masterpieces

[@saintcorinthian4253]

YES YES YES YES YES I've been waiting for this one for so long!!

[@saintcorinthian4253]

If you want to really get into DOOM's writing style I suggest you watch a few lyrical breakdowns of some of his songs. Accordian is an incredibly dense one full of obscure references. Vox Earworm has a great video explaining DOOM's rhyme style. Also listening to his other projects helps you get used to his style for sure, coming back to Madvillainy after listening to Take Me To Your Leader and MM Food really made that album way better somehow haha.

I just found out about this channel. One word: Masterful. Beautifully crafted videos, with a unique style I have never seen before, making me feel a certain way about the albums I have listened to as if I haven’t listened to them in my life. I own vinyl records of DAMN and other Kendrick Lamar albums and your content made me want to listen to it all of again. Very well thought out reviews that you have made. You also make videos on albums I haven’t listened / have not wanted to listen to, so I want to look into some of those. As for album recommendations I’d recommend Blond by Frank Ocean, Culture II by Migos, and MM…FOOD by MF DOOM. Music has changed my life and going into freshman year in a few days I will continue to live by the values I have learned through music. Will be watching more of this soon. Much love and peace on Earth.

Fun fact: MF DOOM is British. It’s really an ASAP Rocky situation where he was brought to America before he could be vocally colonized, but it still counts and I would like to say he LAPS Skepta easily.

[@Mirroredsmoke]

I think you mean 21 Savage instead of Rocky lmao

[@cosmocho8216]

Confused me for a wee second

[@harrisonwhite107]

Figaro is widely considered to house DOOM’s best verse of his career, and is even said to be his best song in general. Love this album, RIP DOOM🙌

Yoooooooo, glad you enjoyed it! It was fun watching your reaction and hearing your insights! You were able to articulate a lot of the reasons why I too enjoy this albums in ways I never could personally. If you enjoyed Madlibs more jazzy breakdowns on this album might I recommend his earlier albums "Angles Without Edges" under his pseudonym Yesterday's New Quintent (mentioned in Bistro), as well as "Shades of Blue: Madlib Invades Blue Note". The song "Stepping into Tomorrow" still haunts me in the best way possible and is an excellent starting point. Also Mm.. Food! Is my personal favorite MF DOOM album and I would love to see you react to it! There are so many damn jokes that I missed my first listen through. Realizing what Poo-Putt Platter was really about literally had in tears. RIP to the Supervillain. Literally a mad fucking genius.

got into his work fairly recently, gave many songs in the Madvillainy album no chance whatsoever. heard how good some of them were from you and this video and found some works I really like that I would've missed had you not posted this video. thank you, you made my life a little bit better
