Madvillain is the moniker and stage name for the underground hip-hop collaboration between MF DOOM (MC) and Madlib (producer).
Their debut album Madvillainy was met with critical acclaim for its unique approach - short songs, obscure lyrics, few choruses and a sound which was generally unfriendly to commercial radio. This was directly opposite to the formulas of popular hip hop of the time. The album features a host of guests from stones throw including MED, Wildchild and Doom/Madlib aliases Viktor Vaughn and Quasimoto respectively.
An instrumental version of the album and two remix EPs from Madvillainy were released on Stones Throw. Remixes were by Four Tet and Koushik.
MF DOOM and Madlib are currently working on a second Madvillain album, which is expected to be released in 2008.

this is my favorite doom shit for real. i feel like the flows and the lyrics are so much better than say like mmm... food? or some shit like that. either way, anything doom touches, especially with lib's help can be nothing less than amazing.
