It’s a little hard not to feel let down.Īs said before, this is entirely Madlib’s choice to do such a project, and given Doom’s disappearance from the hip-hop scene and Madlib’s characteristic need to do anything with his spare time, perhaps this could have been expected. Instead of a sequel to an album beloved by many and seen as a landmark in the evolution of rap, we get a glorified remix. Granted, a lot of the disappointment comes from the disingenuous nature of the project – basically, Madlib took most of Doom’s Madvillainy vocals (and one Dangerdoom vocal, for whatever reason), grafted them to brand new beats, knit them together into the same ghostly samples/quick instrumentals/short songs aesthetic that made the first album so incredible, and released the whole shebang as Madvillainy 2. That being said, it seems almost impossible to feel anything less than disappointed by Madvillainy 2, as the prospect of a second Madvillain album has been as eagerly awaited as any in the past five years.
