About This Song
“All Caps” appears on Madvillainy, the 2004 album from Madvillain, the duo of rapper MF DOOM and producer Madlib, released on Stones Throw Records. The title comes from DOOM’s insistence that his name be spelled in all capital letters. Like most of the album, it’s short, packed with wordplay and built on Madlib’s sample-heavy production.
First Impressions
The beat kicks in with a big, playful energy and DOOM wastes no time getting into it.
My Reaction
“All Caps” captures everything that makes Madvillainy so much fun. Madlib’s production is quirky and full of character and DOOM’s rhymes are clever and effortless. It’s over in about two minutes but it leaves you wanting to run it back.
