Soundpieces: Da Antidote!

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The state of underground SoCal hip-hop, circa 1999. Bolstered by the scintillating production skills of producer Madlib, Lootpack provide a winning alternative to the slick materialism and excessive violence of the mainstream scene. With DJ Romes cutting behind them, emcees Madlib and Wild Child showcase their tight flows and creative wordplay as they "attack the wack" and represent the west O-X (Oxnard, California). Other underground heavies join the party, including Dilated Peoples and Tha Alkaholiks. Sure, this isn't the game-changing masterpiece that underground heads claimed it would be, and the lyrical themes don't stray too far from run-of-the-mill emcee boasting. Still, with Madlib supplying the endless array of funky and freaky beats, it's hard not to be won over by the album's big-time bounce. --Marc Greilsamer

This Lootpack is better than a bag of goodies.......2004-02-23

This album is really phenomenal! Madlib never ceases to amaze me, and everyone else I am sure, with his terrific humour, his weird opening tracks, his moniker as Quasimoto, and his fascination with his partner in rhyme, Wildchild. All of the tracks are amazing, and nothing short of flawless.
I love the fact that whenever a brilliant Madlib/Lootpack album comes out, that Peanut Butter Wolf is always right behind or beside the helm.
The tracks are as follows:

1. Da Antidote 8/10
2. Questions 9/10
3. Long Awaited 10/10
4. B-Boy Theme 8/10

sick album.......2003-08-30

THIS IS THE WARM UP TO THE QUASIMOTO ALBUM FROM MADLIB, THIS IS A SICK CD THE BEST TRACK IS ANSWERS FEAT. QUASIMOTO. THE BEATS ARE CRAZY AND WILDCHILDS LYRICS ARE THE BEST THING I HEARD IN A WHILE. ALSO CHECK OUT THE JAYLIB CD AS WELL

Progressive Hip-Hop!"What?!".......2003-04-23

I know that in this age when hip-hop and progressive seem oxymorons lootpack comes through with a cd that defies the formula that most "mainstream" hip-hop and rap "artist" seem to be stuck in for the last decade. Wildchild and Madlib take the hip-hop world and their fans to task with tunes like;Questions, B-Boy theme, the Anthem, Friendz vs. Endz. If I seem perphaps somewhat moralistic it is only because of the long list of bad characters in the music world who produce whatever the record company says they need.
This Stones Throw label and the people associated with it seem out to put a stop to the "wackness", and this cd along with others from the same label are well on their way to doing that. Hail PB Wolf, long live the Stones Throw era.

BUY THIS ISH NOW.......2002-05-08

Lootpack is and alwayz will be one of the best hip hop crews out there. Madlib and Wildchild layed down some decent lyrics and roams whipped up some nice cuts. Some tight tracks include : weeded, wheniamondamic, and likwit fusion. There were some dope appearences by dilated and tha liks too. This is a must-get......props to the crew

pz..

Oxnard On Tha Map.......2001-10-23

Yo... Da Antidote is, will be, and has been a classic since the day Lootpack drop it. I'm from the 805 area so it's tight ta have some representation out here. Madlib created like tha mastermind he is and Wildchild lays down lyrics like they was cheap wall paper. Invest in this cause it's always gonna be around, 805.....
