**💭 Thoughts:** MF Doom and Madlib’s collab album *Madvillainy* released under the name Madvillain, is widely regarded as one of the most acclaimed and influential alternative/abstract hip-hop albums of the 2000s. While I agree with this to an extent, some of the choices—whether it be the off-putting (at least to me) accordion sound on “Accordion,” or the odd choices of not including rapping on “Sickfit” and “Do Not Fire!”—this album definitely misses a lot of opportunities and makes some poor decisions. That being said, this record still has its fair share of amazing tracks, as its reputation suggests; however, many of the songs definitely had the potential to be significantly better. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.)
