Madvillainy (Music) | comment |
Madvillainy is the only studio album by American Alternative Hip Hop duo Madvillain (MF DOOM as MC and Madlib as producer and occasional rapper), released on March 23, 2004 on Stones Throw Records. It combines DOOM's idiosyncratic rapping style and experimentation on themes of supervillainy in hip-hop with Madlib's eclectic, sample-heavy beats, creating an overarching aesthetic that runs throughout the album and is centered by the dastardly misadventures of the "Madvillain" character.DOOM and Madlib never released an official sequel to the album in the years since it was released. While both went on record with differing rationalesnote Madlib claimed that a lack of communication on DOOM's part delayed progress on the sequel, while DOOM claimed that the two have made new material that will only be released at the right time, the closest they got was a remix album Madlib put out in 2008, supposedly because he couldn't wait any longer for DOOM to record new verses. While it was called Madvillainy 2, the album eschewed the original's narrative aesthetic for completely new production, and although its reception was positive, it was nowhere near as enthusiastic or unanimous as that of the original. While hopes faltered indefinitely, the announcement of DOOM's death on October 31, 2020 seemingly drove the final nail in the Madvillainy sequel's coffin......that was, until January 2021, when Stones Throw founder and CEO Peanut Butter Wolf revealed that DOOM had almost finished recording a true Madvillainy sequel prior to his death (by "almost", we mean "85% done" according to PBW), and Stones Throw got the greenlight to release it posthumously, but is not sure when or how it will be released. | |

Gratuitous Panning | |
Madvillainy (Music) / int_5e835a41 | comment |
Gratuitous Panning: Sounds in "The Illest Villains" pan through the left and right channels. "Bistro" pans static, telephone sounds, and voices saying "How do you do?" heavily around halfway through the song. Invoked in "Money Folder", where a line about DOOM bringing his mic everywhere to perform live and on stereo is panned to the left side. The next line then lampshades this by saying "Pan it". Also exhibited near the start of "All Caps", and later in the track when a right-panned DOOM says "your mother". | |

Spell My Name With An S: "Accordion" is sometimes misspelled as "Accordian". The point of "All Caps" is that MF DOOM wants the rap's listeners to spell his name entirely in capital letters. | |
