I loved Madvillainy. It served as one of my first introductions to really good rap outside of the mainstream and was really a jumping off point for my greater exploration of hip hop in general. Plus, its an awesome album to boot. Needless to say I was very excited after hearing the radio leaks from the upcoming proper followup to Madvillainy due early next year. So excited. While it has been a long time since Madvillainy was released, Stones Throw actually released a sort of sequel this past year entitled Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix, which featured Doom's raps from the first album, but with all new reworking by Madlib. While not completely new, it is still an excellent and refreshing listen, with a lot of soul. What a testament to an album, that you can completely rearrange it and it still sounds fresh and interesting. Here are a few tracks from the Madlib remix to help tide us all over until we get the real deal.
