Product Description

2009 release. When Madlib followed J Dilla's now-classic Donuts with an instrumental concept-album of his own, a series was born. Beat Konducta, the alias he often scribbled on the beat CDs he handed to friends and potential collaborators, left the realm of the unknown and entered the record-buying public's conscious as Madlib's latest nom de plume. Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6: Dil Cosby & Dil Withers is a 42-track tribute to the late J Dilla. Madlib and J. Rocc lovingly remember their friend and reflect on his boundless influence. As was the case with Donuts and in keeping with the Beat Konducta's all-embracing musical bent, this album does not settle into one groove for too long. The result is a transfixing, sometimes jarring, and always soulful homage to the man Madlib crowned King Of The Beats.

First off I love anything that has to do with J Dilla and Madlib. This album takes you on a journey through classics soul samples and bangin beats! This is truly a tribute to J Dilla, no question! For all you hip hop cats this is the album to have in the collection. Madlib is definitely one of the top elite producers in the game, hands down!

5.0 out of 5 stars The the ultimate tribute to J Dilla, February 28, 2009

By	Elphonics (Lithonia, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This is an album you got to listen to with headphones. I catch something new everytime I listen to it. Yes, this is an album you can rock from beginning to end. You have to at least listen straight thru each suite. Madlib, with the help of J Rocc, are letting music say so many things about an incredible beatmaker that was and continues to be loved by many.
This is exactly what I would expect from Madlib! Five star excellence!

5.0 out of 5 stars Will Grow On You, November 8, 2009

By	J. Alford - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first bought this CD, gave it a listen and I thought it was ok, nothing great. I liked about 4 tracks out of the 41 or 42. As time went on though, I started to love more and more of the tracks that I had paid no mind to before. Now I love every track on this spectacular album! Hands down 5 stars. Get it even if it isn't your style because it will grow on you!
