About the episode
Jinx and Shea are back at it again for the final eight episodes of NO SKIPS. This week, they cover the certified underground classic ‘Madvillainy’ by villainous duo, Madvillain. In it they discuss how the late masked emcee, MF DOOM, laid abstract rap concepts over sultry beats on tracks like “All Caps” and “Curls,” while giving all praise to notably one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, Madlib, for his work on “Accordion” and “Money Folder.”
Later, acts like Viktor Vaughn, Quasimoto, and M.E.D. go head-to-head during Best Guest Verse. Then, find out how metal masks, alter egos, mythology, and obscure media clips cement this one-of-a-kind album in hip-hop’s history.
