The 35 stellar instrumental tracks on Vol. 1-2: Movie Scenes make a convincing argument that in the future Madlib--a one-man band in both the literal and figurative sense--might be better off eschewing rappers and singers as collaborators altogether.
-
A very detailed, though still utterly bewildering, glimpse into the producer's musical thought process.
-
Overall, Movie Scenes is a great record, making up for any lack of cohesiveness with a consistently brilliant parade of wonderful hip-hop beats.
-
UrbFar from sloppy seconds, the album's both imminently enjoyable and a valuable glimpse into the creative process of one of hip-hop's most accomplished producers. [Apr 2006, p.88]
-
Movie Scenes is further proof that Madlib is the Miles Davis of hip-hop: He's always finding a way to set the bar just a little bit higher.
-
Paste MagazineThis wild pastiche demonstrates why Madlib is one of the most talented heads in hip-hop. [Apr/May 2006, p.103]
-
Though Madlib's restless joi de vivre keeps Beat Konducta moving at a quick clip... the lack of MC firepower considerably limits its real-life enjoyability.
-
"Movie Scenes" is mystical, it is magical, and it's also prone to confuse some.
