![]() ![]() Title-track "Champion Sound", also produced by Madlib, comes peppered with ample fuzz and an offbeat chorus of "Wah!" while orbiting a sultry female vocal sample. Jay Dee and Madlib change places with each successive track, but their message- mostly that "Jay Dee and Madlib are collabin'," that they "are in this mothafucka," and "live bitches is what need"- rarely butterflies into much else.įortunately, the record's focus doesn't rest on its lyrics: Madlib-produced "McNasty Filth" assume's the role of party track and just kills, alternately flaunting organ and baritone sax drones before upshifting into some vaguely Prefusian cut-ups and a hi-hat's violent treble attacks. ![]() But call it a self-fulfilling prophecy: the lyrics are its Achilles' heel. As expected, Champion Sound is unquestionably one of the most exciting and inventive hip-hop productions this year: Jay Dee's characteristically bass-heavy breaks and Madlib's wonderfully off-kilter quasi-organic dutchery compliment each other perfectly, and their best moments here easily rank among their personal highs. ![]()
