Madvillainy appreciation

[FKEMINEM]

im high as fukk and accordion came on and that shyt got me feeling and i decided to replay the album and brehsss

this fkn album never gets old brehs

the sequencing on this is



madlibs production

doom


"its easy as pi, 3.14
one more false move and they're done for"

stranger ways

that skit at the end of americas most blunted always has me


the lack of unnecessary hooks is still genius, keeps the album flowing nicely

fukk that thread about whether or not mmlp is a classic, cause this shyt right here is the definition of a true classic, unlike that outdated corny



to those few em stans, that still exist

 

[SirBiatch]

Wow. I'm surprised there's no appreciation thread for this album.

Anyway, this album is one of the rare hip hop albums I consider classic even though I only love 5 tracks: "Accordion", "Rhinestone Cowboy", "All Caps", "Fancy Clown" and "Strange Ways".

the rest of it is too weird and abstract for me. It's not bad stuff but just not me. Doesn't have much of a groove for me to settle into. Not pleasant to my ear. I couldn't put this album on and let it ride. I'd skip tracks.

But those 5 tracks alone....holy shyt. You had to have been there when this stuff came out. I remember my college buddy spazzing the fukk out over this. And I heard some tracks like "Raid" and "All Caps". I thought it was the wackest shyt ever. I would laugh with my brother about how wack this new underground rapper was.

Then I checked out "Accordion" and the rest was history. Completely changed my perspective on how I looked at hip hop.

how wrong you were brus, i wasn't feelin DOOM at first either. i don't remember why but i remember my homie had Operation Doomsday back in the day and probably Vaudville Villain and i wasn't feelin it. but one day i was copying a gang of shyt from his itunes and decided to give it a go. Madivillainy just clicked for me one day and i was

 

[Blackout]

I always call it MF Dooms underground mainstream album.

When this came out many dudes I didnt expect to know about Doom was talking about him all of a sudden.

Gave me hope for a second that MF Doom would become way more popular than he is.

Someday....

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Appreciated! Like @SirBiatch I actually was only a fan of about half of it at first. It really grew on me. One day it just kinda clicked. I think the album is really influential. It's like a Blueprint type album for underground albums.

Favorite joints are

Accordion
Fancy Clown
Strange Ways
Rhinestone Cowboy
Figaro
All Caps
Operation Lifesaver
America's Most Blunted
Eye
Supervillain Theme
Sickfit

[Figaro]

This is MM..Food album bruh.

But anyway Madvillainy is top 10 album of all time

 

[Mike Otherz]

album of the 2000’s to me.

 

[DeuceCypherUno]

One of the most fun albums to listen to, definitely a classic album

DOOM got so many fun lines and quirks in here.

 

[BigF]

In before the haters show up.

Dope album.

I was late with DOOM. I first really started paying attention to him on that 'Rock Co kane flow' joint with De La.

Than I copped Mouse and the Mask and then Madvillainy.

Then it was a wrap. Got all the albums.

'It's like making a soldier drop his weapon....shooting him.....and telling him to get to stepping'

Dude has quotables for years.

Doom definetely deserves some more shine in the mainstream, easily one of the most underrated mcs.

And brehs imagine if that Doom X GFK album was actually released
that track they did together, Raygun was dope

 

[Mr. Negative]

this album is crazy.

Honestly, I cant even begin to talk about how crazy this album is. I started thinking about it, my mind just sorta shut down. I don't know where to begin.

For real. DOOM's rhymes? Giving yall nothing but the lick like two broads? Oh my aching hands.... from raking in grands? And breaking in mic stands? It's ugleh... like "Lookit you!?" It's a damn shame? On one scarey night, I saw the light? Heard a voice that sound like Barry White say "Sho ya riiight"? Dude got a song about meeting women in the club and they got bad breath. AND IT WORKS.

Madlib on the beats, sampling every fukking thing? Street fighter with Vincent Price laughing? Straight Stevie Wonder instrumentals? I remember the first time I heard the album, I was already fukked up by the Accordian beat.... that MadVillain Bed and Breakfast Cafe Lounge byt the Water beat came on.... it wasn't the beat that got me... it was DOOM introduced MadLib and that "How do you do?" started playing through different speakers! Then there was songs with no rapping on it, shyt FIT SEAMLESSLY!

That crazy all R&B interlude from that girl you never heard from again, shyt sounded like something you'd hear on some underground college station or some WGCI megamix in the 90s when you just came in at 3 in the morning, and you in the basement and too fukked up to stand? Then you realize you're listing to some AM station and not FM? WTF how- what was that song doing there!?



Songs with no hooks? dude just... flowing his ass off?





Dude (I didn't know at the time) rapping about his girl being stole.... BY HIMSELF!?



Dude was rapping over a fukking 3/4 beat!? (is that a 3/4 beat? I say yes, but hell if I know?) (the jar is under the bed. )







This album, brehs. this album.

 

[Mr. Negative]

dude infinitely quotable. stupidly witty.

 

[Ski Mask]

IDK if I'm the only one, but I can only enjoy Doom when he's doing collab albums.


And yes, this shyt is a classic to me just because of accordion and strange ways alone.
