Madlib: “Black Widow”
An entire record full of Madlib x rock n roll samples?
Forget that, it’s two albums, volume 1 and 2. Both are part of Madlib’s Beat Konducta series, in which he drills down on particular genres and moods, conjuring up turntable magic according to his own inimitable style.
Our highlighted track “Black Widow” slices and dices 1960s English psych outfit Tomorrow’s “Now Your Time Has Come.” The source material came from Tomorrow’s one and only album, their self-titled debut. Which was mutely received by the critics when it came out in 1968, but has since been rediscovered as a psych rock masterpiece. By some.
Madlib funks it up with background whoops and meatier beats. Off Rock Konducta Pt. 1. Via Madlib Invazion.
