Madlib Medicine Show is a music series the producer began in late 2009 as the official launch of his label Madlib Invazion. The original idea was simple: 12 releases, one per month, alternating between original works and mixtapes spanning different genres. It took a little longer than planned to hit number 12 so a bonus, No. 13 was added to the mix. Now that the individual CD offerings are increasingly hard to locate, the Madlib Invazion crew has decide to collect the entire series into a single release. We call this collection Medicine Show: The Brick. With The Brick, you get it all: Medicine Show No. 1: Before The Verdict - hip-hop vocal album feat. Guilty Simpson; Medicine Show No. 2: Flight To Brazil 80 minutes of Brazilian psych, folk and jazz; Medicine Show No. 3: Beat Konducta In Africa hip hop beats inspired by and based on obscure & independent African vinyl gems; Medicine Show No. 4: 420 Chalice All-Stars - all Jamaican sounds, 80 minutes, complete with Los Angeles medicinal marijuana guide; Medicine Show No. 5: History Of The Loop Digga - Madlib's early years, 1990-2000, from beat cassettes produced for local rap crew Crate Digga's Palace; Medicine Show No. 6: The Brain Wreck Show - - psych-prog-avante- freak-out-funk rock; Medicine Show No. 7: High Jazz all new Madlib productions from his collective of jazz groups and musicians known as Yesterdays Universe; Medicine Show No. 8: Advanced Jazz - a jazz music course with no grades, lecturer or tests - just a room of dusty jazz vinyl and Madlib at the turntable; Medicine Show No. 9: Channel 85 Presents Nittyville - hip-hop album feat. Frank Nitt; Medicine Show No. 10: Black Soul - the Disco era, 80 mins, mixed by Madlib; Medicine Show No. 11: Low Budget High Fi - hip-hop of dirty demos produced by Madlib, with Oh No, Karriem Riggins, MED, Strong Arm Steady, AG, Guilty Simpson, J. Rocc and Jaylib; Medicine Show No. 12: RawMedicine (Madlib Remixes)- part mixtape, part beat tape, featuring a host of un-suspecting collaborators that run the gamut from thugs, street poets, star emcees and underdogs - 60 minute with 30+ tracks; and of course Medicine Show No. 13: Black Tape the bonus Medicine Show and sequel to #12. All Medicine Show releases revolve around the Beat Konducta's 4-ton stack of vinyl. Get a glimpse of that motherlode with Medicine Show: The Brick.

continuing the tradition of excellence
a solid block of madlib. i highly recommend this to anyone who's been a fan and has been waiting for him to come out with something as good as geedora or lord quas. i love how this dude reaches so deep into the heart of musical past and with obvious appreciation. i've found a lot of good stuff that led to more and more findings just from listening to madlib. he leaves clues for anyone who really listens. just the name of this box can lead you to a ton of great music and history well worth reading about and listening to. i buy anything this guy makes knowing it's gonna rule, no question. all the cover art's rockin too so respect to whoever's on that

super worth the buy
Incredible music, super worth the buy.My one complaint is that when taking the CDs out of the sleeves, they often get scratched by the sleeve itself. Nothing terrible but I can only imagine the build up of scratches if you continuously take them in and out. It's a bummer.But the content itself is top notch, definitely 5 stars.

Prolific + Quality = Head Nodding Inspiration
When I first identified the Madlib sound, I was listening to Mind Fusion Volume 5. Both mixed tracks were eclectic, fun, unexpected, and rich. The Medicine Show collection is a thematically laid out extension of Mind Fusion and the prolific producer's music selections do not disappoint. It will take a while to fully digest but I am enjoying the journey provided by Madlib across continents, cultures, era, space, and time.

彼本人
個人的にこれはmadlibの集大成というより彼本人を凝縮したシリーズです。 Madlib, Dj Madlib, YNQ, Yung Jazz, Rels, 等の変名を含めた彼ルーツであり今の"Madlib"の音のプロフィールの様に感じます。 元々データで何個か持っていましたがBOXが出たので購入しました。奇数が作品、偶数がmixですがmixはiTunesなどデータでは発売していません。 作品はProあり、未発表あり、Konduxtaあり、YNQありで言うまでもなく素晴らしいですが、偶数のmixはどれも秀逸で必聴です。 他の方が仰る様にシリーズ全部揃えるのがお勧めです。BOXとはいえ箱に入ってるわけではないですけど。No.1 ギルティ・シンプソンをフューチャー(事実上OJシンプソンのセカンドアルバム)No.2 ブラジリアンジャズ ミックスNo.3 Beat Konducta アフリカNo.4 レゲエルーツ ミックスNo.5 90's の頃の未発表曲。インスト曲もありNo.6 レトロロック ミックスNo.7 ジャズ系名義の新曲など。YNQだけでないのでユニバースよりオムニバスNo.8 ジャズミックス。これが一番マッドリブの原点っぽい。個人的には。No.9 フランクニットとのアルバムNo.10 ソウル、ファンク、フュージョン ミックスNo.11 今までのヒップホップのコラボ作品で未収録の音源No.12 マッドリブによるリミックス作品のミックスNo.13 ヒップホップ未発表音源。ジャケはこのまま真っ黒なわけではなく、モザイクをかけないとならない物だからです。以上どれも外しなし！

セットで買うのが正解
Madlibのすべてが詰まっている「Medicine Show」シリーズ。これは全部まとめて買うのが正解です。個人的にはVol.2と4が好みなんですが、他もレベルは相当高い。一聴するとただ音をぶち込んでいるだけみたいだけど、何度も聴けば「あぁ〜こんなミックスMadlibしかできないな」と思うこと必至。几帳面にBPMを合わせたり、つなぎどころを計算しつくしたミックスもいいですが、いや〜やっぱりこっちでしょう。このグイグイ聴かせる感は半端じゃないですよ。あるうちにコンプリートしとくべきだと思います。
