How do I start listening to madlib?

I’ve heard songs that he’s produced like what a day, no more parties in la and the madvillan album and probably a lot more I enjoyed all the songs that I listed extremely but I still want to listen to a lot more of his work. I’ve listened to instrumental albums or albums cantered around production before like donuts and that’s in my top ten favorate all time so I’m down for something like that but I’m more interested in his albums with artists like Freddie Gibbs I like the alchemist a lot so Freddie has always been in my ears. So should I listen to all of his albums in chronological order or is it better for somebody to give me a hint for what’s worth listening to. Also are the Quasimoto albums worth listening to?

Edit: I just listened to the first half of bandana-fav track “crime pays” I’d give it idk like a 9 plus I like Palmolive aswell pusha t will always be one of my favorate ever this track js puts him further up there.

In 2011 DJ EGROEG makes hour long+ mix with records Madlib literally threw in trash

While walking by, dude sees Madlib throwing records out. Guy asks Madlib if he’s throwing them out. “Fuck it, I’m done with them” replies Madlib. Uh, OOOOK. The guy gives said records to DJ EGROEG, who then made this mix.

^I just noticed end of that mentions a "cover of Roy Ayers" which Oh No just sampled a lot recently too so must be an artist they actually like > So I am guessing Madlib really did go through all those joints he was gettin rid of

Suggestions for records similar to YNQ

Looking for some similar records that fuse beat making and chopping with jazz improvisation similar to YNQ angles without edges. Other examples, Ki-Oku by Dj Krush, Universal beings by Makaya McCraven...

rappcats

Ive noticed the rappcats store online is empty. Also been receiving numerous emails about Now-Again Bandcamp releases. Looks like maybe Egon pulled everything from rappcats and is posting the inventory onto the Now-Again bandcamp?

Old Madlib/Dilla mixtape

I’m not in the loop but I heard about Madlib’s crib being burned down through the Dave Chappelle SNL thing, and I happened upon this subreddit looking for info… I hope his cache of work and records could be salvaged. I’m going to donate and I implore y’all to do too! In any case, this is a tape of tracks released by Madlib and Dilla separately and as Jaylib. I don’t earn any money from it, it was made for my own listening. Perhaps some will appreciate it.
