Genius Annotation

Madvillain’s “Bistro” is a short, but luxuriously executed, interlude. It features MF DOOM narrating a warm welcome to his grand estate: the “Madvillain Bistro Bed and Breakfast Bar and Grill Cafe Lounge on the Water.” The cafe itself is a metaphor for the album, which consists of the “finest of the finer things.”

The track was written after the infamous album leak, most likely to add atmosphere to the project as a whole. The instrumental Madlib used to craft the song was Atlantic Starr’s “Second to None.”
