Diction's review

Lyrics: 4.5
Beats: 5.0
Now there are remix albums and there are remix albums by Madlib. Just like we've witnessed with the Perseverance Remixes, Madlib doesn't remix things like your typical producer. He totally deconstructs his own work and creates something totally new with it. Now the original Madvillain album was already something totally different for hip hop when it was released, and quite possibly one of the weirdest things I ever heard at that point. I remember my first listen of the original Madvillain, It really threw me off like what the fuck is this shit but there was something that just made me listen to it 3 times in a row as I knew this was some other shit. But now 4 years later the album is a reknowed classic and even used to introduce people to hip hop music, something that the duo probably would never have expected to happen. After listening to this remix album, I have to say that the original feels very "normal" as this is even more "out there" than you can possibly imagine. Madlib doesn't just drop "new" beats over the accapellas, he built a whole new album with the vocals. The tracks aren't in the same order at all, the album is deconstructed and rebuilt with a new vibe, new skits, new interlude beats and the album is just a whole different thing. The only thing in common with the first one is that it has the same vocals, but even there the new beats just give these vocals a new feeling. The production is absolutely totally fuckin nuts, this is absolutely one of the best produced albums I ever heard and just makes classic hip hop albums feel some simple and dated. Madlib is running this hip hop shit, he once again redefines what can be done with hip hop beats and at this rate he'll be the greatest producer of all time. Some people still hold RZA and DJ Premier on a higher pedestal, but to me it's been a long since Lib has exceeded them cause they simply fail at innovating. I think that the people that are comparing the individual songs with the originals are doing something wrong because Madvillainy was never much of a "singles" album. It was an album that built its strength off the cohesion between the tracks and how it worked as a complete work, not how such and such track were bangers. The remix album is the same in that sense, it works as a complete album. I don't even wanna compare both albums, they are just 2 of my favorites of all-time and totally different. I've only had this album for 3 days but it's taken over my life, it gives me goosebumps and at the time I'm writing this I've already played it 9 times and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Hip Hop can die, I don't care as long as Madlib keeps on dropping 4 albums a year I'll be fine.
