Description
Madlib follows 420 Chalice All Stars: All Jamaican Sounds
with the fifth installment in his Madlib Medicine Show,
History of the Loop Digga: 1990-2000.Back in the 90s, “beat tapes,” as a Hip Hop producer’s
demo-reel is now quaintly referred to, were literally that:
cassette tapes of beats that a producer made either for
himself, his friends, or for potential collaborators. As you
can imagine, Madlib made a bunch of ‘em in the days
between his early productions for the Alkaholiks (circa
’92) and the release of his Quasimoto album (2000) – after
which he took a couple of years off of the beats to focus
on making jazz music with his fictional five piece,
Yesterdays New Quintet.
This collection of beats showcases the way that Madlib’s
early Hip Hop demos were filtered out to his friends and
associates and provides an opportunity for a unique view
into Madlib’s working process: these beats, often
freestyled on whatever machine he had at the ready,
were picked up by rappers over a period of many years.
Trainspotters will find it interesting that beats later
destined for the likes of Wildchild and Percee P were
made some years before those albums saw release.
This album is punctuated with a series of early solo-raps
by Madlib and his Quasimoto alter ego and features the
cadre known collectively as CDP – those rappers who
worked side by side with Madlib during the days of his
Oxnard-based “Crate Diggas Palace” studios.
The Madlib Medicine Show series is a combination of
Madlib's new hip-hop productions, remixes, beat tapes,
and jazz, as well as mixtapes of funk, soul, Brazilian,
psych, jazz and other undefined forms of music from the
Beat Konducta's 4-ton* stack of vinyl.
