WLIB AM: King of the Wigflip plays like the days when AM radio ruled the airwaves, transmitting a crackling, low-fi mélange of endless sample fodder, vocal snippets, and sonic intuition, turning singles into stars and flipping wigs with each twist of the dial. Starting with the ominous, tribal overtones of "The New Resident," its spiritual spank followed by the customarily aggressive Guilty Simpson on the brassy, stabbing "Blow the Horns On `Em," WLIB AM: King of the Wigflip finds Madlib venturing away from the deconstruction of world rhythms on recent projects and returning to his Western hemisphere roots in hip-hop and R&B. This final edition of the Beat Generation series includes guest appearances from Talib Kweli, Murs, Oh No, Guilty Simpson, Defari, Georgia Anne Muldrow, and many others.
