Madlib Medicine Show #1 contains original tracks as well as "OJ Simpson remixes" of tracks from Guilty Simpson's debut album Ode to the Ghetto. It is considered a prelude to Madlib and Guilty's collaboration album O.J. Simpson released in May 2010. There are two brief guest appearances; one by J Dilla, in a short, previously unreleased interlude dating back to his & Madlib's first collaboration and the other by MED, who is the sole voice on the short "The Exclusive", a theme song that first appeared on Jaylib's Champion Sound album where Percee P did "The Exclusive" interlude.
As of May 2011, this album's vinyl edition is back in print after the initial 1000 copies sold out at release.

"The complete Madlib Medicine Show series, #1-13."
"Originally announced in 2010: “Madlib is launching Madlib Medicine Show, a 12-part music series (12 CD's, 6 LP's) on his own imprint, Madlib Invazion. Odd numbers, beginning with #1 in Jan. 2010, will be original hip-hop, remix, beat tape and jazz productions; even numbers will be mixtapes of funk, soul, Brazilian, psych, jazz and other undefined forms of music from the Beat Konducta's 4-ton* stack of vinyl.”
Years before this series was announced Madlib had talked about an idea to release an album a month. For this producer, whose work thrives on a freestyle cut & paste, sometimes blurring the lines between original work and DJ mixing, there was little time or patience for the normal marketing and promotion norms of the music industry. By the start of 2010, it was time to experiment.
All told, the series became 13 releases, plus a few extra cuts of vinyl, and took nearly twice as long as expected. Along the way, some records got complicated, a few other projects took hold, some of the listeners lost track, while many others stayed for the whole trip."
