Madvillainy

Madvillainy is a hip hop album released on March 24, 2004 on the independent label Stones Throw Records by Madvillain, a hip hop group consisting of MF DOOM (MC) and Madlib (producer). Madvillainy was met with critical acclaim for its unique approach - short songs, obscure lyrics, few choruses and a sound which was generally unfriendly to commercial radio. This was directly opposite to the formulas of popular hip hop of the time.
A remix EP of MadVillain was created by Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet & Koushik. This was again released by Stones Throw Records.
The first music to be publicly debuted from Madvillainy was the song "America's Most Blunted" which was played by Madlib at the Red Bull Music Academy in Brazil, November 2002.
Madvillainy was supposedly produced entirely by using a portable turntable and an SP-303.

Notes
On The Boondocks episode titled Let's Nab Oprah, three songs from Madvillainy are used: Raid, All Caps, and Strange Ways.
At the end of a recent MTV special for the movie "V for Vendetta", the titular character interrupts the show, ending his message with "and remember, all caps when you spell the man's name."
