Lord Quas is available in Yellow and Blue. The Lord in a Box package includes the filthy Quas holding a brick and shmokin’ a loosey (or shpliff). Don’t get left out, order one NOW! (more…)

Madlib’s Dirty Covers

cardboard-bk1.jpg

Here’s a quick story on Madlib’s Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6′s album covers. CD drops Feb 10th. Place ya orders directly on the site.

If anyone is wondering why it looks like there is black mold growing on their copy of Beat Konducta Vol. 6, here is the reason: it is black mold.The covers for the vinyl editions of Beat Konducta Vol. 1, 2, 5 and 6, designed by Jeff Jank, are all from the same piece of cardboard. This was originally a library sound-effects record belonging to Peanut Butter Wolf which was being stored in a closet. After a leak and subsequent water damage in 2004, this record cover was thrown onto a back porch where it sat for at least a year before being used on Beat Konducta Vol. 1, and then Vol. 2. Two years later, aided by some spray paint and a lot more mold, it became Beat Konducta Vol. 5 and 6.The disintegrating cardboard is still hanging around the office contaminating its surroundings. As long as Madlib keeps making dirty beats, we’ll keep trying to use it for covers. Source: Stones Throw

Peep the rest of the covers after the jump.

Beat Konducta Vol.5-6: A Tribute to J-Dilla

e852fd7a29cdae04b30d67f2c1d9dc82.jpg
About time the instrumentals are hitting the CD market. I’ve been vibing out to this for endless hours/days since the mp3s first hit the net back in Sept/Oct last yr. I never found any Madlib interviews bout how he felt when Dilla left, but this right here is all there is to say. The 42 instumental journey has Madlib hitting every emotion on the scale, with J.Rocc doing an excellent job of mixing the record down. I highly suggest for all beat heads and music lovers to listen and have Vol.1-4 in your collection, before you jump directly into this one. The CD is dropping Feb 10th, and can be pre-ordered on Amazon or on the Stones Throw website directly, along with the Beat Konducta posters and such.

MF Doom + Madlib = Madvillain

a2ye60.jpg
Man, only God knows where Doom is. He seriously needs to get it together and get back to Madlib for Madvillainy 2. After hearing these remixes, he gots to be craving. The remix album is dope, for those who haven’t already purchased it off the Stones Throw website. Who you know can produce a classic gem for an album and then go back and remix the whole damn thing again. The legendary wig-flipper produced all the beats over a 10hr journey to Tokyo. Damn, I’ll just let the beats talk.
