Lootpack is an American hip hop group signed to Stones Throw Records with members Madlib, Wildchild, and DJ Romes. They made their first appearance on the 1993 debut album by Tha Alkaholiks, 21 & Over.
The first vinyl by Lootpack, Ill Psych Move EP, was released in 1996 on a label named Crate Digga's Palace founded by Madlib's father, Otis Jackson Sr. After this 12" they caught the attention of Stones Throw founder Peanut Butter Wolf, producer and DJ. Eventually the three of them signed for Stones Throw leading to their 1999 release of Soundpieces: Da Antidote. A follow-up has not been released, but all three of them have collaborated on other projects and recorded solo records. DJ Romes released the Hamburger Hater Breaks record in 2001, Madlib has produced concept albums as Quasimoto and Yesterdays New Quintet. Wildchild's 2003 album Secondary Protocol featured all Lootpack members and is the closest thing to a second Lootpack album.
Ey Quasimoto, man! (Quasimoto)

There go Madlib the bad kid right over there from the Lootpack (Yes)
Right over there, man, ask him, man, ask him
"Where are y'all from?"
We from the west O-X to be exact
Lyric arrest your pack with flows to drop your order format
"But what y'all on?"
Even though we flex until the exit
On living daily, but that soundpiece always be some next shit
"Are y'all original?"
We stay original while your subliminal lines and minimal perception
Poetical enemas for your section
"I bet y'all money hungry"
We dig in crates to get them papes
"What, word"
We droppin beats to clock ends meet
"Now not only for the money"
We're not only for them ends because if I wasn't gettin' paid
I'd still be dropping beats until my grave
"So who you down with?"
I'm down with the Wild Child, DJ Romes, Ono and God's Gift
"Oh, yeah"
