He's got such a wide range. Really diverse producer.
I've heard his live show is nuts...
BASS INTO OBLIVION!
his versatility is one the main reasons of his cult following I think. there's something for everybody
I saw him live for the 1st and only time last year in Paris with J Rocc and Egon
it was a dope show.4+hrs. he played stuff from albums that came out this year and also from the Supreme Team project with Karriem Riggins and the next Quasimoto album. next time I see him I'm sneaking a camcorder in
but I also read some negative reviews of some of his shows where he doesn't seem to give a fuck about the crowd. so I wouldn't say it's always a given
I worked at Sam Ash here in Vegas for a quick minute. Big music instrument retailer, with a quick turnover rate. Anways, Ronnie Foster used to work the same position as me for a minute, and I would constantly stop by to shoot the shit, and here him play. When I first heard this Madlib cut. I remember trying to place the sample but I couldn't place that it was Mystic Brew.
So, I brought in my IPOD and played Ronnie this cut. His response,
"Mm.. yah I Iike Hip Hop. It's cool."
Ronnie do you recognize this?
He's like, "Yah man it's cool.."
Come on Ronnie.
"What should I know this?"
He's sampling your song Mystic Brew
"Oh yah.. oohhh yeah wow. those are my chords man I didn't really catch that. Yah I see it now. yah.. Hip hop guys love that one."
Then he went on to blab blab about the tribe called quest a story he's told me a million times. By far one of the most brilliant Piano players I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, one of my favorite people, and One of my alltime favorite Madlib cuts.
When I met Madlib that's a whole other story but.. man that felt like a conversation in space.

cool story!
when i met madlib he was so baked that he couldn't string a sentence together.
hot mess!
he is Ms.Hill'in his performance
i mean i love quasimoto and he could have pulled a donuts if he stayed focused
however he seems to have fallen off

how can you listen to the beats in the video I posted and say that
yes i meant his live shows
but when you think of it as a former huge fan i don't think i've missed much since i stopped checking for him. I someone gave me all the shit he has released since quas2 i think i could assemble a nice 80 min mix but even his YNQ was more focused than now
compilations and remixes...when is a coherent hiphop album coming out!

well when he's not Quasimoto the only hip hop albums he produces are for other rappers and he more than did that since Further adventures...: Expressions with Dudley Perkins, Liberation with Kweli, Perseverance with Percee P, Stoney Jackson with Strong Arm Steady and OJ Simpson with Guilty Simpson
all very good to stellar works on his end
he also brilliantly remixed Madvillainy
I assume you don't care much about his Beat Konducta stuff, your loss !
and those 90s archives he put out last year were succulent
I'm sure I could make another nice 80min hip hop mix with post 2005 selections completely different than yours
oh and for his jazz experiments you should definitely listen to High Jazz he released in his medicine show series even if it's a compilation a la Yesterdays Universe, Miles Away (Last electro-acoustic space percussion ensemble.....or something) and Slave Riot (Young Jazz Rebels)
it's crazy to think that despite all this work his biggest 'hit' since has been that Badu tune
but hey what can you do...
hot mess!

????
I dont think even his wife knows him that well..
and fallen off?? Damn internet makes people say extremely unreal unargumented quick judgemental harsh things so easily..at least I hope its te internet.
also comparing dilla to madlib is also very strange..putting donuts as the ;highest to acomplish..
fallen off..pff
And with the booieng i read about above..the performance..well i think going to a concert.performance is like going to see a human being (whuut?)..not a robot..so when madlib (that the fans probably dig cause of his unconformtive stylo) thats is always trying different routes to a means..then dont go booieng just cause he's not doing what you want him to do.

Couldn't agree more with you Jamal. I doubt if any knowledgeable cat would ever meet this guy and say anything of the sort to his face simply out of respect for all he's done over the years. i have so much respect for the bad kid.
& the jay dee 'donuts' comparison seems a bit off to me, since personally, & i'm sure others will agree that donuts was great but nowhere near the best shit jay dee put together, not to knock it the slightest bit as it's still one of my favorites.
i think jay was nearing his peak during the SV days, same with madlib in regards to lootpack & going on to produce declaimes illmindmuzik, & countless other projects... + he's steady evolving, still creating. so much love to to him!
There is gonna be a special make up show at 1015 Folsom on Monday. I will be playing records before Otis as well as Egon, and I think B Cause just got added. Could be fun.

One of my all time favourites.

10+ years later
head-nod factor's still intact

14mn in sounds like YNQ covering Everybody Loves the Sunshine

I slept on this when it first was released. Greatest beat tape 2010 hands down. Where is his prolific output for 11? I'm expecting 22 albums.
Anybody got audio of a copy of his Orochon jazz release, "Space & Time"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_&_Time
:beerbang:
there are some certified bangers on the last medicine show
don't sleep
