Notes
Unpacks the complex layers of Madvillainy, the 2004 classic collaborative LP between producer Madlib and rapper MF DOOM, whose success both relied on and rejected the tendencies of the social media age
Will Hagle is a writer from Champaign who lives in Los Angeles.
Hagle’s Madvillainy is one of the best of the series because it
jettisons the stale rules of music writing (no forced canonization
needed here!) in favor of a narrative structure that echoes the
album’s aesthetics.
