Madlib speaks to

about remaining

death of partner in

W
hen Madlib, one of
the most respected
beat-makers in hip-
hop, announced his
new solo album last
month, he didn’t
imagine he’d be
grieving his most
famous collaborator soon after. On New Year’s
Eve, he was at home in lockdown, like music
fans all over the world, staring at the internet in
disbelief at the news of the death of MF Doom,
one of rap’s most prodigal forces. Doom’s wife
revealed on Instagram that the masked rapper
had passed away two months earlier.
“I still don’t believe it,” says the producer,
real name Otis Jackson Jr, from his home in
Los Angeles. He described Doom as “a brother,
a guy that took time to hang out, call me all
the time” but also “king of the beats”, the
“Muhammad Ali” of hip-hop whose rhyming
skills are hugely influential. “Everybody’s still
learning off of him,” he adds. He is glad his late
contemporary is posthumously getting the
recognition he deserves. “Last week I saw five of
Doom’s albums on the top charts, and it’s sad to
say but that wouldn’t happen if he was here.”
You might assume Jackson had a psychic
hotline to Doom: as legend has it, they made
their one album, 2004’s Madvillainy, in the same
house without speaking, on magic mushrooms.
That album is widely considered one of the
greatest collaborations in hip-hop, two enigmatic
minds whose disregard for form and embrace of
experimentation inspired a generation of MCs.
The last time they talked was “about a year ago”
to discuss working on new music. “But we said
that every year, and it never happened,” he says.
It is not the first time Jackson has lost a
friend and collaborator: his kindred spirit
J Dilla, with whom he’d also made an album as
“Jaylib”, died in 2006 aged 32 from rare blood
disease TTP and lupus. Jackson had previously

holy trinity, the no-rules beat constructors who
revitalised 00s hip-hop. “That’s why I keep
moving,” he says. “Life’s too short.”
He isn’t one to pause much for reflection.
The 47-year-old is known for being immensely
prolific: his discography is dizzying, with more
than 20 albums (as himself, for other people,
or collaborations). They feverishly flip through
genres like he’s making the ultimate musical
scrapbook, meandering from Brazilian jazz to
African funk to Throbbing Gristle.
That is why he’s still the go-to guy for a
unique instrumental, the currency of hip-
hop production: just ask Kanye West, Erykah
Badu, Mos Def or, recently, poet and activist
Noname. But every time it looks as if he might
nudge the mainstream, he’ll release something
unexpected. His last record was 2019’s Bandana,
with Indiana rapper Freddie Gibbs, the second
of their widescreen gangsta rap outings, which
stood tall in quality and energy above anything
else that year. He’s following that with new
album Sound Ancestors, an instrumental
listening experience arranged by electronic
musician Kieran Hebden, AKA Four Tet.
Partly it was the deaths of Dilla and
his mother, a pianist who wrote his
father’s songs, that motivated Jackson
to work harder, he says, but really

Rhod Gilbert: Stand Up to Infertility
9.40pm, BBC Two
The gruff-voiced comic puts his sense of humour
to use in tackling a sensitive topic. Having
uncovered issues with his sperm while trying for
a baby with his wife, Sian, Gilbert launches a male
infertility campaign to raise awareness around
the statistic that, since 1980, sperm counts have
dropped by 60% in the western world. Along
the way, he talks to other childless men, such as
the poet Benjamin Zephaniah, and performs a
special standup routine on the topic. AK

The Drowning 9pm, Channel 5
Nine years after the disappearance of her
four-year-old son, grieving mother Jodie
(Jill Halfpenny) is slowly piecing her life back
together, until she spots a teenage boy whom
she immediately believes to be her son. This
triggers a dangerously unhinged series of events
in this new four-part drama, as Jodie tries to
insinuate herself further into the life of the boy
and his father (Rupert Penry-Jones), seeking
out the truth. The remaining three parts screen
nightly at 9pm until Thursday. AK

The Investigation 9pm, BBC Two
Tobias Lindholm’s engrossing and impressively
well-researched dramatisation of the police
investigation into the 2017 murder of Swedish
journalist Kim Wall concludes with this
double bill. Despite the gruesome evidence
found by the divers, homicide detective Jens
Møller (Søren Malling) feels there is still too little
to pin a murder charge on the suspect, while
a search of his hard drive reveals disturbing
content. It is up to the forensics team to
provide incontrovertible proof. AK

The truth is that a lot of DJing contains more
sophistication than a man in a raincoat playing
D, G, A on an acoustic guitar.
German lawmakers agree. Last year a court
ruled that techno is indeed a genre of music
(so that clubs would receive tax breaks like
traditional music venues do). DJs don’t just play
other people’s tracks, the court stated, “they
perform their own new pieces of music using
instruments in the broader sense, to create new
sound sequences that have their own character”.
And that’s the point. The very best DJs
