MADVILLAIN
Madvillainy
2021 U.S. 2xLP reissue

Father/son music day today, and this was my boy’s request while we do some work around the house.

This is my son’s newest obsession. It’s an album he’s been playing A LOT over the last month, and he was unaware that I had it on vinyl.

Which leads me to believe it will disappear from my collection and end up in his VERY SOON.

It’s an absolute masterpiece album; a modern #abstract #HipHop clinic with NO SKIPS, courtesy of the late great MF DOOM and Madlib.

Glad that my son has finally started to sink his teeth (and mind) into it.

A few years ago, I took him and a few of his friends to the MOPOP Museum in Seattle, where they had the mask on display in a glass case inside the hiphop exhibit. He had no idea what it was, who Doom was, and was instantly mystified.

From its unconventional structure and dense sampling to its lyrical abstraction and underground legacy, this video unpacks why *Madvillainy* remains a cornerstone of experimental hip-hop.　#Madvillainy #MFDOOM #Madlib

Oh No Vs. Oneness Of Juju released on Stones Throw in 2008.

We struck an agreement with Plunky Branch of the legendary
Oneness of Juju to have Oh No create beats from the Oneness of Juju
catalog. The resulting beat tape is Oh No Vs Oneness of Juju, presented here.

Healing from trauma is crazy. It is unstable and it destabilises self and others.

Why? Because it requires me to grow beyond the "stable" pseudo-personality that the traumatising family-, cult- or societal systems pushed on me.

Society is sick and sickening, it causes trauma and dissociation. Then it tells us that WE are crazy, unstable, perhaps ridiculous and perhaps dangerous for doing what we need to do to heal. In order to truly heal, one HAS TO become even more crazy than before, as in more "unstable" in society's eyes. Less adjusted to its "stable" structures and demands.

I know, I know, the first step of trauma therapy is stabilisation. But what we want to be stable is stuff like having basic needs met, having housing and food and at least one stable, respectful and nurturing relationship. We DON'T need to stabilise the pseudo-personality! That's the crime of therapy that I'm rebelling against. They stabilise the wrong thing and they destabilise the wrong thing. They take away our agency to let our true self emerge and make choices.

It's like telling a caterpillar that emerging from its cocoon is "unstable" and pathological and that it should go back to the nice stable larval version of itself.

In my case, that was the version that is easily lead and that assimilates into existing systems. Not a threat.

But we deserve to destabilise the systems that did this to us. The families, cults, religions, therapies, states, capitalism - all of it. And that includes getting rid of the rules and beliefs and triggers and feelings that they installed inside us. Killing the cops in our heads. Killing the despotic parents, the double-standardised inner critic, the victim blamer in our heads.
