Madlib - WLIB AM: King Of The Wigflip

Madlib: maverick, prolific, and tirelessly uninhibited. W.L.I.B. AM. King of the Wigflip, the final instalment in the Beat Generation series, finds Madlib venturing away from the deconstruction of world rhythms on recent projects and returning to his Western hemisphere roots in hip-hop and R&B.

Starting with the ominous, tribal overtones of The New Resident its spiritual spank followed by the customarily aggressive Guilty Simpson on the brassy, stabbing Blow the Horns On 'Em In getting back to basics, lyricism is in full effect, courtesy of Cali cohorts such as Defari on the driving, speed-limit bass funk of Gamble On Ya Boy, MED and Poke's ode to home stance with the fury of The Ox (805)' and Murs doing what Murs do in addressing the "can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em" state of male-female relations over the electro-pulse minimalism of Ratrace. Beat Konducta The Younger, Oh No, teams up with big brother Madlib as The Professionals on I Want It Back while the maestro himself steps away from his helm at the beat machine and drops into the vocal booth on the audacious Heat.
