Artist Spotlight: The Many Faces Of Madlib

[stones throw bio] "Armed with an SP-1200 sampler and several identities, Madlib has built a collection of beats, records, and unreleased tracks that is already becoming impossible to archive.

Beginning in the early 1990's in Oxnard, CA, Madlib's distinctive crate-dug production has formed the basis of LPs for Lootpack, Quasimoto, and Yesterdays New Quintet. And that's just the Stones Throw stuff.

Somehow he's also found time for the other labels doing remixes or guest recordings for the likes of Bilal, Zero 7, Glenn Lewis, Beastie Boys, The Liks, Xzibit, Dilated Peoples, Planet Asia, King Britt, Jay Dilla, and Blue Note Records."

Yo! This is dope! But how come you didn't include songs from Madlib's jazz(-hop) project Shades of Blue? [ http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/shadesofblue/tracks.html ] [ http://beatsandrants.blogs.com/hiphop/2003/07/shades_of_madli.html ] There's some dope songs on that joint.
