Art-Hop Episode 5: Metal Face Villain


Artist: Madvillain (Madlib & MF Doom)
Song: "All Caps"
Album: Madvillainy (Stones Throw Records)
Director: James Reitano
I play a Doom record and it transports me to place where Hip-Hop is merged with ill double entendres, comic book references, mask-wearing emcees and loops from old Japanese cartoons.
That's a good place to be in.
This clip is from Doom's pairing with Madlib and their collaborative 'Madvillainy' album. The vid stands as a 1960's Kirby/Lee comic book (complete with ads) come to life.
Watch it twice. I think it's that good.
