Champion Sound's appeal, then, lies in the music itself, minus the disposable rhymes. On paper at least, the two artists each produce nearly half of the album's seventeen tracks and co-produce the intro, "L.A. to Detroit." But the beats are surprisingly consistent, and every song utilizes Jay Dee's infamously hard drums and snares to bolster Madlib's notoriously psychedelic samples. The combination leads to strong tracks like the dance floor-bound "Raw Shit" with Talib Kweli; "The Exclusive," a pairing with legendary rapper Percee P, who brings some much-needed lyrical aggression; and "No Games," a bouncy panoply of Seventies-era synth riffs. Champion Sound is a fun party album that's difficult to take seriously.
