Madvillainy is a hip hop album released on March 24, 2004 on the independent label Stones Throw Records by Madvillain, a hip hop group consisting of MF DOOM (MC) and Madlib (producer). 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 vastly different than the popular hip-hop of the time period.

At least two tracks on Madvillainy were produced using a portable turntable and Boss SP303 sampler [1] by Madlib in Brazil. The first music to be publicly debuted from Madvillainy was the song "America's Most Blunted" which was played by Madlib at the Red Bull Music Academy in Brazil, November 2002.

An instrumental version of the album and two remix EPs of Madvillainy were released on Stones Throw. The remixes were done by Four Tet and Koushik.

MF DOOM and Madlib are currently working on a second Madvillain installment.

  • At the end of an MTV special for the movie "V for Vendetta", the titular character interrupts the show, ending his message with "and remember, all caps when you spell the man's name."
