dropped a video essay on his Youtube Channel: Digging the Greats, breaking down MF Doom&#8217;s and Madlib&#8217;s legendary collaborative album \u201cMadvillainy\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>This in-depth analysis does not only break down individual aspects of several songs from the album but also touches on a wide array of subjects, including Madlib&#8217;s and MF Doom&#8217;s creative approach, the
