Writing a bunch about Madlib in my last post got me feeling all nostalgic about his early stuff. Above is probably my favorite music video from this era, the more rough/dirty sound of the beats (that On-N-On aka Infinity Sound bass is badass) and the simplicity of the video I really enjoy. It’s cool thinking about these times when Madlib was hanging out with all the rest of the early Stones Throw crew that included Wildchild, DJ Romes, Declaime, MED, Kazi, Oh No, etc etc. Times definitely change (Madlib recently mentioned in an interview that hearing this album makes him cringe) and I definitely appreciate every phase Madlib goes through in his music, but to me there will always be a special place in my mind for this era of work.
