You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.203.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 00:10, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Champion Sound''''' is a collaborative album by the duo '''Jaylib''', consisting of producers [[J Dilla]] and [[Madlib]]. The album was released in 2003 and is considered a classic in the underground hip-hop scene. The title track, "[[Champion Sound]]," features a sample from the 1978 film [[The Deer Hunter|''The Deer Hunter'']] and showcases the duo's signature blend of soulful beats and intricate rhymes. The album also features guest appearances from [[Talib Kweli]] and [[Percee P]]. 

== History ==
((Unreferenced section|date=July 2009))
Jaylib began in 2000, when DJ J Rocc of the [[Beat Junkies]] gave a CD of unused [[instrumental]] tracks by [[J Dilla]] to [[Madlib]]. Madlib recorded vocals over these beats and labelled them "Jaylib", without the intention of actually releasing them. [[Stones Throw Records]] placed one of these recordings as the B-side to a promo 12" Madlib single, under the name Jaylib, which was eventually heard by Dilla. The pair recorded ''Champion Sound'' in separate cities, Madlib in [[Oxnard, California]], and Dilla in [[Detroit, Michigan]] by sending recordings back and forth. The two met only once before or during this time, while Madlib was recording in Detroit for J Dilla's album ''[[The Diary (J Dilla album)|The Diary]]'' on MCA Records; a record that was not released until 2016. The album was released in 2003 after much delay due to [[music leak|leaks]] and [[bootleg recording|bootlegs]] and received positive reviews.

Following Dilla's move from Detroit to [[Los Angeles]] in 2004, they appeared together on tour in Spring 2004 in Los Angeles, [[San Francisco]], [[New York City]], and [[Toronto]]. Madlib debuted a yet-unreleased Jaylib song on a [[BBC]] radio show in May 2005 titled "Take It Back aka The Unofficial", produced by J Dilla with vocals by Madlib. The track was released on [[Adult Swim]] and [[Stones Throw]]'s ''[[Chrome Children]]'' compilation.

== Releases ==
((More citations needed section|date=December 2015))
The first pressings of the album in the USA contained two bonus tracks: "Raw Addict," and "Ice" (which otherwise are only on a white label 12" issued by Stones Throw); the first pressing of the CD in Europe included those two and a third track, "Pillz," which was later featured as the b-side to the single for "McNasty Filth".

In 2005 Madlib's compilation of unreleased Jaylib tracks got leaked as an early version of [[Madvillain]]'s [[Madvillainy]] did before. These two CDs were compiled by Madlib in late 2002 to listen to on a trip to Brazil.<ref>[http://stonesthrow.com/news/fake_vs_real/index.html Stones Throw Records<!-- Bot generated title -->] ((webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080618231422/http://stonesthrow.com/news/fake_vs_real/index.html |date=June 18, 2008 ))</ref> The Jaylib compilation is called ''The Rough Drafts'' and the Madvillain compilation is called ''Madvillainy Preview''.

The 2007 re-issue of Champion Sound was abruptly delayed when Stones Throw was issued a cease-and-desist from the camp of artist [[Cris Williamson]]. "The Red", one of the more popular songs from the LP, contained an unauthorized sample of her song "Shine On, Straight Arrow". According to J-Rocc of the [[Beat Junkies]], the sample clearance issue came down to Williamson's gripe about a Madlib lyric: ''"There's a Jaylib track called ‘The Red’ they got sued for. Cris Williamson is the artist and she’s a total feminist, a real woman-power type. In that song Madlib says "mostly shitty women". She said, 'I’m not having that, take it off the album.' But she’s still letting them use the instrumental for licensing and so on. So even there they’ve worked something out"''.<ref>((cite web |last1=Yates |first1=Steve |title=Cold rockin': J.Rocc on 21st Century Digital DJ's |url=https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2011/05/cold-rockin-jrocc-on-21st-century-digital-djs |website=redbullmusicacademy.com |publisher=Red Bull Music Academy |access-date=2020-05-31))</ref> "The Red" appears on the reissue with an alternate beat, though one still arranged by Jay Dee. An alternate beat was also used for the song "No Games" on the re-issue.

== Reception ==
In 2010, ''Champion Sound'' was listed by [[Black Milk]] as one of the "Top Ten Albums of the Last Decade".<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.villagevoice.com/music/detroit-producer-black-milks-top-ten-albums-of-the-last-decade-6622369|title=Detroit Producer Black Milk's Top Ten Albums of the Last Decade|work=[[The Village Voice]]|first=Phillip|last=Mlynar|date=September 14, 2010|access-date=December 12, 2015))</ref> In 2015, it ranked at number 41 on ''[[Fact (UK magazine)|Fact]]''(('))s "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.factmag.com/2015/02/25/the-100-best-indie-hip-hop-records-of-all-time/61/|title=41.
