Madlib Medicine Show March 19, 2011

Once again, I am slow on the uptake

Madlib has been releasing these mixes(?) of different genres of music. And they are dope.

This man is like a music encyclopedia. So far I am 2 for 12. I have the Volume 4 and 7, the Reggae and HIGH Jazz. Gonna admit, I was looking to buy the Jazz: Advanced, but I’ve now decided to get them all. It’ll be my
Friday thing, go get another Madlib joint until I can’t no more.

What I like is like he’s giving you music you might have never have heard before, doing all the leg work by mixing it and presenting it in neat packages. I’m taking it as an invitation to look up the artist he pulled from and listening to their albums. The albums I have have the information as to where the original work came from, so I hope the rest do as well. I don’t think Mad would do us like that though… … ….

I love finding new music, so this is perfect for me. And I trust Madlib and his musical taste lol. I kinda want to hear the Brazil one. I went to this post Adam Mansbach wrote and he featured some Brazilian artist… I think it was Brazil LOL. Anyway, the track was dope… so can’t imagine what Madlib will pull.

So in case you’re like me and missed it, here is some info on the collection.
