Об исполнителе (группе)
Growing up in Oxnard, California with many other artists who ended up on the Stones Throw label, Nick Rodriguez, aka Medaphoar (and later, MED), grew up in a musical family, and by age nine he was freestyling to entertain his parents. By junior high he was writing his own rhymes, and by high school he was something of a local celebrity. Looking for beats one day, Medaphoar went to the house of Otis Jackson Jr., or Madlib, who was impressed by the MC's skills and invited him into his crew, Lootpack, as an unofficial member. After hearing his appearances on the group's 1999 full-length Soundpieces: Da Antidote!, Stones Throw head Peanut Butter Wolf asked Medaphoar to join his label, and soon he was featured on many of the roster's releases, including Quasimoto's, Madlib's, and Madvillain's. The rapper, who was at this time going by simply MED, finally released his solo debut, Push Comes to Shove, in 2005. The follow-up, 2011’s Classic, would feature special guests Talib Kweli, Aloe Blacc, and Hodgy Beats. Two years later he teamed with Madlib and rapper/producer Blu for The Burgundy EP, then in 2015 the trio released Bad Neighbor, an album that featured the single "Rappcats."
Об альбоме (сборнике)
Following up on their 2013 EP The Burgundy, this full-length collaboration between rappers MED and Blu plus producer Madlib suggests the trio should come up with a group name ASAP. There's so much good chemistry and a sense of purpose on Bad Neighbor that it's easy to see why this crew reunited, and while this is a loose posse effort and not the artistically weighty material fans usually get from the members individually, both MED and Blu's discographies get one their tightest releases to date. Madlib gets the opportunity to jump between the commercial ("Burgundy Whip" from the EP returns with all its smooth soul and sweet singing from Jimetta Rose) and barely harnessed cacophony ("Streets" with Oh No and DJ Romes offers wave after wave of compressed percussion, while the broken beat box called "Birds" sounds like a screwed and chopped remix of the Art of Noise). Their guests effortlessly latch on to the light vibe of the album as Aloe Blacc does his best Charlie Wilson on the so-cool "Drive In," while MF Doom bounces across the '80s-flavored "Knock Knock" and gets at the heart of the middle age b-boy problem with "Fresh new kicks, I would put 'em on, but/Those shoes always hurt my corn." Still, the biggest surprise is when veteran "Bitch Betta Have My Money" MC AMG shows up for "The Stroll" and the crew comes up with a bent and beautiful swagger session that doubles as a strip-club track for alien territories. Bad Neighbor is as if the Ruff Ryders albums were reimagined by this trio and all the avant heads get to party, but it is also worth mentioning that the often slept-on MED and Blu seem to steer this beast as much as the beloved Madlib. Consider them all equals here, and as much a "group" as Madvillain, or even more so when considering past projects like Strong Arm Steady.
