*Straps on backpack*

2003-2004 was the David D. backpack era. My prized possession in my Jansport was Madvillainy, which is a polarizing album as people either hate it or absolutely love it. I still contest that it’s a 5 Cig album. Each song flowed seamlessly, with DOOM dropping gems all over Madlib’s creepy, whimsical and comical (in the good way) production.

“Papermill” is that classic Madvillain sound with a couple of hook-less minutes of DOOM spitting non-sequitors and off-kilter rhymes. His voice is missing that gravelly sound it had in the first album, which is a shame. Still, this track is vintage Madvillain. Apparently, this it from an album that is on the way. Expect the project to come out the day after DOOM actually shows up to a concert.
