My favourite album is Madvillainy by Madvillain. Basically, I really enjoy the natural progression it's got, pretentious as it sounds. I discovered the album early last summer as I was making my first real unchartered forays into hip hop, interested as I was in it, and I basically took on a scattergun approach by listening to the names that sounded good.
So, Madvillainy; in a nutshell, DOOM's jagged flows upon jazzy trademark Madlib beats, strung together by a saga of typically west skits and instrumentals that lend an air of time passing.
For me, it's just the way DOOM's…
