While it was called Madvillainy 2, the album eschewed the original's narrative aesthetic for completely new production, and although its reception was positive, it was nowhere near as enthusiastic or unanimous as that of the original. While both went on record with differing rationales note Madlib claimed that a lack of communication on DOOM's part delayed progress on the sequel, while DOOM claimed that the two have made new material that will only be released at the right time, the closest they got was a remix album Madlib put out in 2008, supposedly because he couldn't wait any longer for DOOM to record new verses. It continues DOOM's trademark interests in playing with themes of supervillainy in hip-hop while introducing the backdrop of Madlib's eclectic, sample-heavy beats, both of which combine to create an overarching aesthetic that runs throughout the album, centered by the dastardly misadventures of the "Madvillain" character.ĭOOM and Madlib never released an official sequel to the album in the years since it was released.
