{"title":"Madvillain","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Madvillain\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMadvillain is the collaborative project of Madlib (Otis Jackson Jr.) and MF DOOM (Daniel Dumile). Their landmark debut Madvillainy (2004) on Stones Throw Records - recorded across an extended period and famously leaked online in 2003 before its official release - has been widely cited as one of the most important hip hop albums of the 2000s and a defining document of contemporary underground hip hop. The album combines Madlib's distinctive sample-heavy production with DOOM's lyrical complexity, with extensive crate-digging samples drawing from jazz, soul, funk, world music, and film score sources. The follow-up Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix (2008) reworked the original album with new beats. A long-anticipated proper sequel Madvillainy 2 was reportedly developed but was not released prior to DOOM's death on October 31, 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMadvillain combines hip hop, alternative hip hop, underground hip hop, abstract hip hop, jazz rap, and instrumental hip hop with Madlib's signature dusty sample-heavy production aesthetic and DOOM's distinctive monotone, internal-rhyme-heavy vocal delivery and lyrical content drawing on comic book villainy, surrealism, and wordplay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMadvillainy (2004, Stones Throw)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMadvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix (2008, Stones Throw)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMadvillainy: The Box (2018, Stones Throw) - vinyl box set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStones Throw Records pressings of Madvillainy are foundational items in underground hip hop collecting.
