Editorial Reviews

The fifth installment in the Other Side series features the critically acclaimed rapper/producer Madlib on the mix CD and Stones Throw's Peanut Butter Wolf `s visual guide to LA's sights, sites and sounds on DVD. Madlib's diverse audio tour includes tracks from the eclectic/outrageous jazz consciousness originator - Sun Ra Arkestra, 60's psychedelic blues quintet Outlaw Blues Band, legendary reggae drummer (Burning Spear) Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Jamaican record label head/DJ Producer Prince Jazzbo, and Madlib's own tunes- as Beat Konducta (solo) & with collaborator Jaydee (Jaylib) and an exlusive track "Infinity". Hailing from the unlikely beach town of Oxnard, 40 miles north of Los Angeles, the multi-dimensional Madlib quickly rose to prominence as one of the most interesting figures in late-'90s hip-hop. His expansive style and deft touch for composition made him one of hip-hop's most sought-after producers. An enthusiastic crate digger, with a deep reverence for jazz and soul, Madlib branched out into a number of ambitious, engaging solo projects. After hooking up with Los Angeles DJ Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib did a lot of production for Wolf's Stones Throw label. In 1999 the label released Quasimoto's astonishing The Unseen LP. Doubling as himself and his alter ego Quasimoto, Madlib handled vocals and production duties on the album, a huge critical success. With each year Madlib has continued to expand his abilities beyond the core hip hop that he is known for and The Other Side - Los Angeles proves the point again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good CD, BAD DVD - I paid to watch adverts?, June 10, 2007

This review is from: Other Side: Los Angeles (W/Dvd) (Dig) (Audio CD)

The DVD included with this item is just boring blatant advertising. You just watch PBW walk in and out of each shop doing mundane things and asking pointless questions to the owners/staff; but not before he makes sure you know the name of the shop and its website and street address etc.

The CD on the other hand is quite good. There were no tracks which I disliked. A great assorment of tracks from Jazz, Regae, Hip-Hop, Funk and Blues, the last track escpecially by the Freestyle Fellowship is sweet as.

I would recommend buying the soundtrack, but steer clear of the DVD unless you want to watch 60 mins of advertisments.
