Madlib Madlib Medicine Show No. 10 Black Soul

Madlib continues his monthly series for 2010 here with him assuming the role of a DJ getting his fingers dusty as he reaches into crates filled with vinyl. Black Soul is an 80-minute mix dedicated to almost exactly what you wouldn't expect from its titled. Rather than put together a compilation of actual soul, Madlib looked to hip his listeners to a time when soul was giving way to a new genre. The focus here is solely on mid-to-late '70s disco and it's likely he's thrown in plenty of rare tracks that might make us all appreciate the trashy genre a bit more.
