Zusatztext Hagle’s Madvillainy is one of the best of the series because it jettisons the stale rules of music writing (no forced canonization needed here!) in favor of a narrative structure that echoes the album’s aesthetics. Informationen zum Autor Will Hagle is a writer from Champaign, Illinois living in Los Angeles, California. He is the author of Madvillain’s Madvillainy (Bloomsbury 2023). His non-fiction has appeared in Rolling Stone, The Ringer, Complex, Passion of the Weiss, Lyrics as Poetry , and more and his fiction has appeared in Across the Margin and Flash Fiction Magazine . Klappentext This book celebrates Madvillainy as a representation of two genius musical minds melding to form one revered supervillain. A product of circumstance, the album came together soon after MF DOOM's resurgence and Madlib's reluctant return from avant-garde jazz to hip-hop. Written from the alternating perspectives of three fake music journalist superheroes-featuring interviews with Wildchild, M.E.D., Walasia, Daedelus, Stones Throw execs, and many other real individuals involved with the album's creation-this book blends fiction and non-fiction to celebrate Madvillainy not just as an album, but as a folkloric artifact. It is one specific retelling of a story which, like Madvillain's music, continues to spawn infinite legends.
