When Madlib launched his Madlib Medicine Show, the original idea was simple: twelve releases, one per month, alternating between original works and mixtapes spanning different genres. It took a little longer than planned to get to No. 12, which put the idea in his head to give us all a bonus Medicine Show No. 13. Here is is, the long rumored, highly anticipated, nal installment of the Medicine Show: Medicine Show No. 13 Black Tape. Black Tape (which is of course actually a CD) is a 60 minute hip-hop mix of some of rap s best, half-best, brilliant and borderline-retarded MCs, all colliding head-on with a collection of Madlib beats. The Madlib Medicine Show Series has been a combination of Madlib's new hip-hop productions, remixes, beat tapes, and jazz, as well as mixtapes of funk, soul, Brazilian, psych, jazz and other undefined forms of music from the Beat Konducta's 4-ton stack of vinyl.
