What makes this album so brilliant is that the stories surrounding it are just as great as the music within. One of my favorite all time fun facts is how Madlib made much of the beats on this album with just a tiny Boss SP-303 sampler, a toy Fisher Price record player, and a tape deck. Here are a couple photos of that setup.

This was a good read and super interesting. I grew up on Long Island and I felt proud he was from there. Usually it’s Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Harlem that get all the credit.

TIL $13,000 is considered a low budget for an album

For a higher profile album it is although I totally get where you’re coming from. You’ve got to book a studio for a while so you can recut stuff, do multiple takes, etc…, and you need engineers and mastering on top of just the producer and the rapper. I made an album with a local band I was in. It was about $500 for a little less than a day of studio time that included doing all songs in a take or 2 and basic mixing. We also had to pay another $250 to an artist to do a cover. It’s amazing how quickly stuff ads up
