Their only album, Madvillainy (2004), earned critical acclaim and cult popularity, widely regarded as one of the greatest rap albums of all time and a benchmark record for alternative hip hop. Their intricate rhymes and lyrics, short song structures and use of obscure, stylistically diverse samples made for a sound that was generally unfriendly to commercial radio but was lauded for its influence on underground rap. A follow-up album to Madvillainy was rumored to be in production at various times since the late 2000s, [1] but no further original material has surfaced from the duo since 2010, and MF DOOM's death in 2020 has left the future of the project uncertain.

This album grew on me SO much since I first heard. When I first heard it, I was just starting to hear some abstract hip hop, but I hadn't heard much and I thought that most of what I heard was overrated. Also, I thought that Madlib was overrated at the time. My only real motivation for listening to this was that I really liked Operation: Doomsday, so I was interested to hear more of MF Doom's material. On my first listen, I thought this was overrated. It seemed decent, but not really something I would ever listen to, considering all of the other great albums to listen to. I probably gave it a higher rating than I thought it deserved because of the hype. The next time that I listened to it, I liked it more. I still thought that it was overrated and that Operation: Doomsday was quite a bit better, but it was starting to grow on me. In the time between my second listen and my third listen, I dug through Madlib's discography more. While I was mainly a fan of his "normal" beats at first, I started to realize that everything he produced was good, even the "weird" stuff. It was on that third listen that I started to love Madvillainy. I was really starting to agree with the hype. I bumped my rating up to 4.25/5. I still preferred Operation: Doomsday though. Every listen after that got better and better until I rated it 4.5/5 and I decided that it's better than Operation: Doomsday. So, it took a while to grow on me, but it's better than if it never grew on me at all. Cober-Lake, Justin. "The Top 50 Albums: 2000-2005". Stylus Magazine.

Contributions

Doom and Madlib started working on Madvillainy in 2002. Madlib created one hundred beats in a matter of weeks, some of which were used on Madvillainy, some were used on his collaboration album with J Dilla Champion Sound, while others were used for M.E.D.'s and Dudley Perkins' albums. Even though Stones Throw booked Doom a hotel room, he spent most of the time in Madlib's studio, based in an old bomb shelter in Mount Washington, Los Angeles. When the duo was not working on the album, they were spending free time together, drinking beer, eating Thai food, smoking marijuana, [9] and taking psychedelic mushrooms. [10] "Figaro" and "Meat Grinder" were among the songs recorded during this time. [11]

Dude, I swear to God, when I saw that Madvillain record, I bought it on vinyl. I ain't have a record player. I bought it on vinyl just to stare at the album. I stared at it and I just kept going, 'I understand you'. Fields, Kiah (March 23, 2016). "Today in Hip Hop History: Madvillain Drops Madvillainy 12 Years Ago". The Source . Retrieved August 20, 2016.
