madvilliany instrumentals (even you can freestyle!)

Cruising through my music collection, I noticed an oft forgotten piece of genius from Madlib’s seemingly endless discography. The tracks on 2004’s Madvilliany Instrumentals are some of the best and most interesting beats for rhyming you’ll ever hear. Otis Jackson Jr. obviously pounds out shit like this in his sleep, but at least in my humble opinion, it’s never a bad time to be reminded of what he’s done.

“Figaro” and “Curls” sample obscure jazz grooves, which expertly and inevitably will instigate some verbal convection. In the time it’s taken me to write this post, I’ve already dropped verses that I think even my mom would be proud of. So I encourage you, humble consumer, to create!
