In 2002, the first demo sequence
of Madvillainy leaked online. The tracks contained
early vocal cuts from MF DOOM, recorded and
quickly mixed in Los Angeles at Madlib's Bomb
Shelter studio. The demos may have been
unfinished, but fans understood that this was a
hip-hop album unlike any other.
DOOM rerecorded vocals – alluding to the leak on
“Rhinestone Cowboy” – and Madlib added new
beats and changed up the sequence. Leaks could
kill an album’s momentum in the early 2000s, but
the demos only whetted fans' appetites;
when Madvillainy came out in 2004 it was "one of
the most anticipated releases in underground rap
history," according to Pitchfork. Madvillainy is
now regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop
albums of all time.
