Background[edit]

"Papermill" was intended to serve as the first single from Madvillain's still-unreleased followup to Madvillainy.[4] According to label Stones Throw, the album had been in progress since 2009.[5] The song was the second single released in the 2010 Adult Swim Singles Program.[6] The Madlib-produced beat samples a chopped-up europop song with German lyrics.[7] Adult Swim also released some behind-the-scenes videos to go along with the song of Madlib talking about his creative process while taste-testing some Intelligentsia coffee branded with his name.[8]
