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.

[@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”

[@diggingthegreats]

Right! Too many layers 🤯 the problem is where to draw the lines for this video haha so many different layers on everything - not to mention this isn't the first time he's done a jeopardy line

This is why DOOM is the goat. Listened to this song probably 100 times, and still learning new things.

maybe i'm stretching, but the next line about getting a whooping from your elders makes me think the "uhhh... what is jalapeños?" is from a childlike, smartass place and maybe he really DID mean butter afterall

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@Cysubtor_8vb]

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.

[@UdokaChima]

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.

[@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.

Similar. We got a nicer record player after I played Madlib's Shades of Blue on vinyl for my husband. I couldn't abide that album not sounding right!

[@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.

[@luckyblocks3406]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO! This is genuinely my favorite album ever, and I can't wait to watch this video.

[@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!

[@TheEcheatham]

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...

[@SpiderJAAM]

R.I.P MF DOOM, this album is just something else. Madlib amazing production always blows my mind and DOOM's rhymes are like a musical instrument itself. One of my favorite rap albums of all time.

[@AslInson]

3:53 "Chips" also means money....which make "cheese" a Freudian slip. It you replace cheese with chips in the lyrics also create an internal rhyme with slip

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.

Welcome! Glad you're here 🔥

[@mightyink]

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.

[@jazzyjesterAZ]

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! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@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.
