Reviews
- M.E.D: Classic
Produced almost entirely by Madlib, the man who turned Guilty Simpson into Noam Chomsky - Mike-L: On A Columbo Tip
Appropriately named On a Columbo Tip, Mike – L with his trusty sampler, highlights what delightful sonic treats a modern day Atlantic explorer can compile without getting his feet wet. - Reflection Eternal: Revolutions Per Minute
"If this album had been trimmed down from seventeen tracks to its core moments, it would have been a classic." - Madlib: Medicine Show Vol.6—The Brain Wreck Show
It’s been right in plain view during 2010: no musicians can do what Madlib is currently doing. - Eryakh Badu: New Amerykah Part II: Return of the Ankh
"Life and death seem to converge in the timeless realm that Badu inhabits."
