He put out both a compilation (\"Untinted\") and this album of reworks and sample-based productions. The result is a perfect blend of Madlib's hip-hop chops and YNQ's jazz thing, definitely one of Madlib's best albums from any alias. Madlib's left-heavy brain is in full effect as the pieces he chooses to sample or re-create are not the ordinary Blue Note bacon and eggs (even the \"Song For My Father\" is counter-intuitive in its non-hip-hop-ness). I love how he flips \"Andrew Hill Break\" and tackles something so epic as re-creating \"Stepping Into Tomorrow.\" So many great moments here.
