The Story of Madvillainy: Rap’s Most Elusive Duo (MF DOOM & Madlib)

Few collabaorations in music are as iconic as Madlib and MF DOOM with their only official album Madvillany. One which, unbeknownst to most suffered a long and hard journey before it would be released to the consumer. Money problems, delays, and leaks all plagued the release, resulting in the project being canceled and revived almost on a whim. As mystery has always followed the elusive duo and their alter egos how we got this album to come out was nothing short of a miracle.

Best album ever made and the mythos behind it only really enhances the experience

[@MooseGuy]

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Madvillain Best album of all time. Villain/10

[@kil44ua43]

Bro you’re so underrated the production and research you did here is amazing keep up the great work Ik you’ll be big soon

[@Ibbyss]

Ur so real for this

[@ethanhawkins3391]

This was incredibly well researched and composed. Love the storytelling on display, had me questioning whether Madvilliany would ever get released the way you wrote the script lmao

[@don2nd650]

Facts😂

[@ElemiahzFriend]

DOOM is a rap god.... I hate that his "origin" story had to include his brother's death & brief homelessness/couch-surfing before donning the iconic mask. Rest In Peace, sir.🕊🕊🕊

[@thejkyle]

The best emcee with no chain ya ever heard Great video, I hope you make more.

[@therealdragonslayer1734]

this is so good man. I've recently been going back to MF DOOM projects for inspiration on production due to the uniqueness of the world building and sampling to try and get just a grasp on how to make a cinematic album. This video is such great context and perfect to listen to in my break time away from the work of the project.

[@unicornblaster261]

This video is truly amazing. You did a great job! I find it difficult to believe the video doesn’t have over a million views?!

[@tonysmith5878]

You forgot that Madlibs Likwit crew took a big hit from the HoboJunction on The Cleaners album and MF Doom donning the Mask as a rebuttal to Freestyle Fellowship also known as the Fantastic Four i.e.Defcon four and FF 13 originally.

MF Doom, not British by disposition at minimum. Style as NYC as Wu Tang and his language is American as blue jeans.

[@tonysmith5878]

AND "DIGGER'S OUT THERE WILL KNOW. YOUR EARS GET THIRSTIER OVER THE COURSE OF TIME, YOU'LL WANT TO EXPLORE MORE GENRES THAN EVER....YA DIGG?!

[@ryanbrandt3374]

This and deltron best underground albums ever

[@tonysmith5878]

TO USE NEXT TO NOTHING FOR PRODUCTION.....IS JUST RAW TALENT....AND A PURE LOVE OF MUSIC. TRUE MUSICIANSHIP IS GOING TO KEEP IT MOVING AND NOT "PIGEON HOLE" THE SOUND.

[@eldavis3084]

DOOM might have had UK citizenship. He was hardly British.

[@Tyseyes1]

Born in Britain died in Britain.. hes a brit matey..

[@softdrink-0]

@@Tyseyes1 He was British by birth but American in heart.

[@Tyseyes1]

[@KL6Soup]

9:23 what if he is my favourite producer?

[@BradBDG]

My theory is that DOOM isn't really dead

[@theboombapper814]

You stupid then

[@DBakes11]

Unfortunately the man has indeed moved on to the next world. He was sick for a minute leading up to his passing.

[@ShadySKWASHA]

Hes dead man the wack ass British medical system killed him, it was totally preventable, very sad way to lose such a legend... but I hear Viktor Vaughns still around...

[@numiyagi]

@@DBakes11yeah man damn doctors, they didnt give him proper attention man…

[@duomaxwell90]

I honestly wake up everyday and I do think what if he ain't dead This is just a stunt I know people would be kind of mad about that but I would love that. But he's gone yo. Unfortunately those doctors that were looking after him weren't actually looking after him. He could have lived and he would still be here right now if it wasn't for them but sadly we got to let him go

[@TeeTV22]

SUPA!

[@veggiburger5009]
