Madlib's rickety lo-fi productions were looser and funkier variations on the jazzy hip-hop pioneered by his NYC producers, but it wasn't until The Unseen dropped in 2000 that Madlib's M.O. became apparent. Released under the Quasimoto moniker, The Unseen was a concept album based on a helium-voiced hedonist who enjoyed "astro traveling." It was equal parts Prince Paul, Sun Ra and Cheech Marin, and remains among the most inventive hip-hop albums ever made. Madlib would continue to follow his weird muse unbridled by either commercial interest or fan expectations. In the past eight years, he recorded numerous jazz albums under different aliases, collaborated with J Dilla on Champion Sound, recorded a broken-beat album under the moniker DJ Rels, reworked both the Blue Note and Trojan catalogs, linked up with MF Doom for Madvillainy and recorded two widely acclaimed instrumental hip-hop albums. Madlib continues to push boundaries. - Sam Chennault]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4317&rws=%2Frap-hip-hop%2Finstrumental-rap-hip-hop%2Fwest-coast-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss Trip-Hop Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:08:47 -0700 Top West Coast Instrumental Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4317 art.4317 DJ Shadow art.4317 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4317&rws=%2Frap-hip-hop%2Finstrumental-rap-hip-hop%2Fwest-coast-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4317&variant=data&rws=%2Frap-hip-hop%2Finstrumental-rap-hip-hop%2Fwest-coast-instrumental%2Fartist-chart.rss Endtroducing..., that really took the world by storm. Incorporating heavy drums, hyper-obscure samples, and moody atmospherics, his unique soundscapes found praise from a wide variety of listeners and critics. He's chronicled his early work on Preemptive Strike (1998) and has also recorded extensively with his crew Solesides (now known as Quannum) which includes Blackalicious and Latyrx. Shadow also contributed to the U.N.K.L.E. album, and helped put together several compilations, including Guns, Cars, and Sitars and Schoolhouse Funk. In 2000 he provided the score to the homelessness documentary Dark Days and was featured on Solesides Greatest Bumps.
