Champion Sound

Always mixed reviews from song to song, but overall the collaboration of Madlib an J Dilla is nothing short of unique and interesting. The CD sounds very "raw" (like a mixtape), which I like. I also like the story about how the album was made without the two of them being in the same room. My favorite songs are "The Red", "The Exclusive", and "Starz". I love J Dilla's sound and this is just another great CD to add to any collection for those who like great hip-hop producers. I also recommend this to whoever is a Pete Rock, DJ Premier, and 9th Wonder fan.

I love anything Madlib and this album is no exception, but I noticed that this printing company gives consistently low quality presses with big gaps in between songs (have a PB Wolf vinyl with same quality control issues).Very low surface noise, so they got that going.Also, this is not the vinyl advertised, but a variation of it.

Disjointed and non cohesive this project fails on almost every level. 'The Red', The Heist' and 'The Mission' are pretty dope but the rest of it feels incomplete and thrown together.Would have been much better with all full length songs and Madlib plus a bunch of guest emcees on each track as Dilla is horrific on the mic.95% of this feels like both guys just messed around one weekend in their respective labs and then Stones Throw was like 'what the eff' lets release this.

This is a classic! I had to have it on wax.

Priceless double album. Track 16 on the first disc "Starz" is one of my faves to put on at night and just look up to the night sky and imagine what a better life would be like. Missin J Dilla.

One of my favorite album's from madlib , donuts is my favorite dilla project but this is dopeness.

This is where hip hop all began. Anyone interested in music should own this CD. I cant get enough of it and I'm a stoner!

Had to have the hard copy

Good

this is an absolute BOMB of an album,madlib and dilla are on fire, if you dont like this you're a lampost.great service, I will use again.

Ein absoluter Wahnsinn! Bei diesem Projekt haben sich Madlib und J. Dilla richtig ausgetobt. Abwechselnd hauen sie einem einen Mörderbeat nach dem anderen um die Ohren, wobei jeweils über die Beats des Kollegen gerappt wird. Wer Raptechnisch nur die Oberklasse will, wird wohl etwas entäuscht sein, darüber sollte man aber locker hinwegsehen können, denn das Hauptaugenmerk bei diesem Album liegt einfach auf den Beats und diese sind fantastisch. Und die Texte sind auf jeden Fall sehr unterhaltsam. Das ganze hört sich für mich nach jeder Menge Spaß im Studio an.Fazit: ein weiterer Burner vom Stones Throw Label (anscheinend machen die keine schlechten Platten). Wer auf Produktionen von Madlib steht kommt hier nicht daran vorbei.

Le CD est arrivé en bon état. Cet album est avant tout une rencontre entre deux producteurs Hip-Hop talentueux et assez actif sur la scène underground. Le principe est que l'un des protagonistes rappent sur la production de l'autre et vice versa. Pour la petite anecdote, il y aurait une légende sur la conception de cet album. Les deux protagonistes auraient échangés leur matériels pour les productions (Dilla utilisait une Akai MPC3000 et Madlib une EMU SP1200). Pour apprécier cet album, il faut déjà avoir écouté certains projets des deux protagonistes (Welcome 2 Detroit, Ruff Draft, Declaime, Quasimoto, Frank-N-Dank,...). Personnellement étant assez fan des deux surtout de Dilla, je ne me suis pas senti dépaysé par cet album.

Album bellissimo, produzioni stellari come sempre per due fenomeni come Madlib e il compianto J Dilla. L'unica pecca è l'assenza del brano "the red" che è stato escluso dalla versione deluxe dell'album per motivi di copyright.Consegna puntuale
