Episode 259-Madvilliany Retrospective

His life is like a folklore legend. MF DOOM was both man and myth. In era where we know way too much about the rappers we love Daniel Dumile was able to stay shrouded in mystery up until the very end of his life. So how do you tell the story of one of Hip Hop's most enigmatic artists and his masterwork Madvilliany? Writer Will Hagle was grappling with this question as he sought to write a book about the project for the vaunted 33 1/3 series. His approach to breaking down Madvillnay may take some by surprise. The three bad brothers you know so well Demone Carter, David Ma, and Nate Le Blanc talk to Will about his approach to writing this book and all the mysteries that unraveled and re-ravaled along the way. Of course the Dad Bods take time to luxuriate in the genius of Madvilliany as an album as well. On the B-side of this weeks episode your humble hosts take a little more time to reflect on De La Soul's return to streaming platforms and make a big announcement about an upcoming live event with one De La's key collaborators.
