20 years sounds like a good time to put out another Madlib project on Blue Note

Man, he's so humble about it all. I listen and get inspired by this album about once a month, and it means the world to me. And here he is just talking about it like it's something he could knock out between a bowl of cornflakes and some coffee. That's the way of a musical craftsman and a consummate beatmaking professional.

bro i see you on every quasimoto related video comments

Madlib is the Truth 🙌🏿👑🙌🏿 I'm so glad I got a chance to meet him..

...Madlib should host whatever the equivalent of Actors Studio is in music and share all his wealth of knowledge and music curating as he talks with other giants of music, production, and beats. I know that'd be his nightmare tho lol, love seeing my guy come out and talk a hit here and there!

MADLIB INVAZION 💜

We need a volume 2 please make it happen

Oh man, I just recently copped this record by Madlib like maybe 2 months ago and I can't believe it's 20 yrs since it was released. This album is just as timeless as the Blue Note records it sheds light on, which probably just goes to show that love is that arch over time that connects like-minded souls. The levels of funky jazz on Slim's Return is just jaw-dropping, and laced with the beat & scratching is otherworldly sublime. I could listen to this whole masterclass record on repeat.

I can't believe it's been 20 years since this classic of an album dropped. This was the first Madlib album I purchased. I remember buying at a Barnes and Nobles. I hope he drops a second "Shades of Blue" album soon, because he's mentioned about putting out a second Blue Note jazz album, but has yet to put it out. Much respect to Madlib as always.

Love this record, scrambled years ago to own one, and now I can't go into a shop without seeing various release versions of it. It's been 20 years though. WE NEED A VOL. 2 FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!

Damn I’m listening to the album tonight 🫡 Madlib forever

One of my favorite producers! First sounds of Madlib was the Unseen album! Dude’s catalog is bananas

What up, what up!

BEEN DOWN SINCE THE BAGGY LOW BUDGET STEEZ GEAR BRUTHA. VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU GET YOURS...PERC SAID IT BEST, HARD WORK PAYS!!!!!! STAY ON TILT MADLIB, AND STAY HUNGRY, TRUE WORK ETHIC!!!!

Man this whole album! Thank God for Madlib!!!

Gratitude. Ps The first 2 Madlib projects I got blessed with were Blue Note and Madvillainy

Thank you for this!

maaaan, I dunno if I can trust madlib with the amount of projects he’s promised within a year that never come out, but I’m praying for this one. wish you’d asked him abt tracks on the blue note EP, specifically that young warrior track by bobbi humphrey that never released unlike the original distant land. fun interview tho, great anniversary

His remix of Montara's my favorite song of all time

If he really does do another Blue Note revisited, he has to go full blown Yesterday’s New Quintet on it, preferably approached like a Joe McDuphrey project.

Hell no, another JoeMcDuphrey album would be better than him incorporating Yesterdays Universe vibes into another Blue Note remix album.

@@paisleyblvd.8465 When you said "up and comer" I assumed it wouldn't be artists who've been on the scene for over a decade. Majority of those artist you listed have been around closer to 20 years. If you had said just other hip hop artists who mess with the jazz genre as well then yes they fit into that category. But I don't consider someone who's been at their careers for 10-20 years up and comers. That's just me.

This was so insightful, this record is so important to my life!
