Strong Arm Steady x Madlib – Chittlins & Pepsi feat. Planet Asia (Video)

Because WSTS is not necessarily a “hip hop blog” but more of an “urban blog,” I lose track and post so many diverse things.  But I come across tracks like this one and puts me back on track to where we came from.

MED – MEDical Card (Video)

Madlib produced.

Madlib – Funky Butt (Part 1) (Mp3)

Madlib Medicine Show #7: High Jazz is an all-new Madlib jazz production. High Jazz, the name itself a tribute to the landmark jazz-fusion album released by Stanton Davis’s Ghetto Mysticism in 1976, shows a marked development in Madlib’s craft.

MED – Classics feat. Talib Kweli (prod. by Madlib) (Mp3)

I put this up ’cause everyone’s doing it!  Na, but on a a serious note, this track is dope.  Ill production from Madlib and well-spit verses from MED and Kweli.

LA Weekly: The Madlib Mystique

Excerpt:
Speculating on Madlib’s whereabouts is futile. Forget Twitter — he doesn’t even use e-mail. The interstellar infinity of his music indicates liberation from the limitations of gravity and time. Granted, he exists as blood and marrow: two children, lives in a real home in Eagle Rock, and the Gregorian Calendar claims that he’s 36. However, he is best understood as myth. In a society with a vampiric lust for information, our primitive neuroprocessors still compute in archetypes. Madlib is the man who wears masks, the witch doctor, the star of the medicine show.

Oh No – Don't Stop Til You Get Enough (Video)

Oh No is Madlib’s younger brother and his legal name is Michael Jackson.  Talk about pressure.  A few years back, he came out with a remix album for MJ’s Off The Wall but due to legal/sampling issues, it was never released.  It was creatively titled, Michael Jackson vs. Michael Jackson.  Today, we get a little glimpse of what that project was all about.

Madvillain – Papermill (Mp3)

Saw this on Word is Bond.  This is the first leak off MF Doom and Madlib’s follow up project to Madvillainy.

Guilty Simpson & Madlib – Cali Hills (Mp3)

Off OJ Simpson, this track is Guilty’s story about working with the late legendary producer, J Dilla.  Dilla was the first to give Simpson an chance to be featured on Jaylib’s Strapped back in 2003.
