    Madlibs trap beats are really interesting because they are very unique and for trap. I like his spin on the sub genre.

    This man is a musical giant of our era. Arguing about which of his works are better is crazy bro. Most of us don't even know all his alter egos. The sheer amount of stuff he's pushing is unreal.

      I think you're both right. First Flylo was inspired by Madlib, then Flylo became dope in his own right. Now it's come full circle and Madlib is inspired by Flylo now.

      Not gonna lie i'm not big on these kind of beats, the royalty sample pack beats sound kind of cheap verses sampling records or VHS tapes . but i agree some of his most insane beats are from 2003-2009 on the SP303, i wish he would start using that again. his newer stuff sounds way too clean i miss that raw sht

      @@ncxbeats im gonna 100% agree with you, im actually close to saying that madlib has fell off beat wise. These recent collabs hes been doing (blackstar 2, liberation 2) have been very lackluster beat wise and sounds to clean for my taste. Im gonna give him another chance when the 3rd album he does with freddie gibbs comes out. Madvilliany will always be his best collab, just pure grimey dusty loops and beats.

    It sounds like the music is for a more mainstream audience so he is evolving his audio style to a more wider audience, still sounds good but I prefair the more obscure audio sounds he produced before, some say weird I say non conformistic beat styles. I think he should make both depending on the targeted audience

      couldn't tell you where he sources his drums, but if you're looking for really hard hitting, clean drums I'd recommend the Decap Drums That Knock I-X drum kits. amazing sounds, clean, incredibly punchy but not clipping

Also, the final beat was played on one of the boiler room sets him and Freddie Gibbs did for the bandana rollout, the beat starts around 6:30 minutes and has a different intro and has a different mix too (although that probably due to the setting of the recording.) ua-cam.com/users/liveb5TQxdWk1C8?feature=share
