I've had the new Madlib Beat Konducta 5&6 on repeat in my ipod lately, definitely want to give it mentions and recommend it for heads out there. They're called 'Dil Cosby Suite' and 'Dil Withers', both dedicated to the late great J Dilla. You can definitely hear the Jay Dee/Dilla influence on the beats. Dilla's 'Donuts' and his beat CD's (particularly #3), were probably the hottest shit I've ever heard in my life, and this is a nice little tribute in that style from Madlib. I'm not a fan of everything Madlib does, but as far as production, I would say he's one of the best out right now, and these latest are on point. Check out one of my favorites off part 5, J's Day Theme #3. For more info check StonesThrow
Like I keep saying it's been difficult to focus on blogging as of lately but I'm trying to keep up with posts now and then. Hopefully towards the end of the year I'll have some time to post some holiday treats, but don't hold me to that. I'm still around and checking out other sites so you'll hear from me now and again. Hope everyone out there is staying well and keeping healthy. Peace.
This is my favorite one out of the whole series. Your post inspired me to throw it on again this morning.
ReplyDelete5+6 grew on me. 1+2 & 5+6 are the best.
ReplyDeletethis first few in the series were decent to me, only a couple of joints that I was really into, 5&6 are by far the stand outs imo
ReplyDeleteWHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THOSE LINKS TO OTHER BLOGS YOU HAD LISTED?

what up Will- I was making changes to the layout and accidentally deleted the link list. It would take me forever to list them all again if I can even remember who was listed. No disrespect to anyone I had listed...
ReplyDeleteWhat up Nes! Hope all is good with you!
