152-page, 6 x 5 inch book in English celebrates Madvillainy as a representation of two genius musical minds, Madlib and MF DOOM, melding to form one revered supervillain. A product of circumstance, the album came together soon after MF DOOM's resurgence and Madlib's reluctant return from avant-garde jazz to hip-hop. Written from the alternating perspectives of three fake music journalist superheroes-featuring interviews with real individuals involved with the album's creation, this book blends fiction and non-fiction to celebrate Madvillainy not just as an album, but as a folkloric artifact.
