In the early 1990s, Madlib formed a loose-knit collective composed of rappers who worked with him in his Oxnard-based Crate Diggas Palace (CDP) studio.{{cite web |url=http://stonesthrow.com/news/2010/04/madlib-medicine-show-no-5-history-of-the-loop-digga |title=History of the Loop Digga |date=April 27, 2010 |access-date=2012-09-29 |archive-date=December 10, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151210025921/https://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2010/04/madlib-medicine-show-no-5-history-of-the-loop-digga |url-status=live }} This collective was composed primarily of his friends, and became known as CDP. The crew included affiliated artists such as Madlib's younger brother Oh No, Kankick, Dudley Perkins aka Declaime, M.E.D. aka Medaphoar, and others. Madlib's first commercially released music was production for the rap group Tha Alkaholiks in 1993. He went on to record music of his own with the group Lootpack. Their 12-inch EP Psyche Move was released by Madlib's father in 1995 on a label also called Crate Diggas Palace. This record caught the attention of Peanut Butter Wolf, founder of the Stones Throw Records label, who signed the group in 1998.

Lootpack's 1999 debut album Soundpieces: Da Antidote ushered in a string of releases on Stones Throw centering on Madlib's production work which would continue for a decade. His first solo work, The Unseen, under the guise of Quasimoto, came in 2000. The album was met with critical acclaim and named by Spin as one of the top 20 albums of the year.{{cite web |url=http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/spinend.htm |title=Spin Magazine: Year End Lists |publisher=Rocklistmusic.co.uk |access-date=2013-10-05 |archive-date=May 26, 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120526101001/http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/spinend.htm |url-status=live }}

In 2001, Madlib moved away from hip hop music and began a series of releases from Yesterdays New Quintet, a jazz-based, hip hop and electronic-influenced quintet made up of alter-egos or fictional musicians played by Madlib. Over the next several years, through several record releases on Stones Throw and other labels, the growing number of pseudonyms and fictional players came to be known as Yesterdays Universe.{{cite web |url=http://www.stonesthrow.com/ynq |title=Yesterdays New Quintet |access-date=2012-09-29 |archive-date=January 18, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160118232722/http://www.stonesthrow.com/ynq |url-status=dead }} Madlib was later invited to remix tracks from the Blue Note Records archive in 2003, which he released as Shades of Blue. In addition to the remixes, the album contained newly recorded interpretations of Blue Note originals, many of which were credited to members of Yesterdays New Quintet. Beginning with the 2007 album The Funky Side of Life by Yesterdays New Quintet spin-off group Sound Directions, the Yesterdays Universe also began incorporating additional session musicians who were not pseudonyms of Madlib.

Returning to hip hop music in 2003, Madlib announced two collaborative projects. He joined hip hop producer J Dilla in a duo known as Jaylib, which released Champion Sound.

Madlib then collaborated with rapper MF DOOM, known together as Madvillain, for the album Madvillainy. Though released in 2004, the album was being worked on as early as 2002. However, production was halted when the album was leaked while Madlib was on a trip to Brazil. Madvillainy was produced by using a Boss SP-303 and a turntable. Madvillainy was highly anticipated and well-received, topping many critics' year-end lists.{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/madvillain/madvillainy |title=Madvillain: Madvillainy (2004): Reviews |publisher=Metacritic.com |date=December 15, 2009 |access-date=2013-10-05 |archive-date=August 2, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100802053415/http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/madvillain/madvillainy |url-status=dead }}{{cite web|url=https://www.stonesthrow.com/news/mad-skills/|title=Mad Skills: Madlib in Scratch Magazine|website=www.stonesthrow.com|date=May 8, 2005 |quote=Just these little box machines, like the (Roland SP) 606 and the (Boss SP) 303.

Throughout the rest of the decade Madlib continued to release jazz material simultaneously with his hip hop work: Perseverance with Percee P, Liberation with Talib Kweli, Sujinho with Ivan Conti of Azymuth, his own instrumental hip hop series Beat Konducta, In Search of Stoney Jackson with Strong Arm Steady, O. J. Simpson with Guilty Simpson, and production work for artists such as Erykah Badu and De La Soul.

In 2010, Madlib announced his own imprint called Madlib Invazion, formed to release a music series called Madlib Medicine Show.{{cite web |url=http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2012/02/madlib-medicine-show |title=Madlib Medicine Show |date=November 14, 2011 |access-date=2012-09-29 |archive-date=July 26, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150726210756/http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2012/02/madlib-medicine-show |url-status=live }} The series would ultimately take over two years to complete, culminating with 13 album releases and several vinyl-only EPs spanning hip hop, jazz, remixes, and multi-genre DJ mixtapes. The label has continued to release records outside of the original series. In 2011, Madlib composed the film score for the A Tribe Called Quest documentary film Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest.{{citation |last=Rapaport |first=Michael |title=Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest |publisher=Sony Pictures Classics}} Madlib also produced "Cadillacs" with Snoop Dogg for his mixtape That's My Work Volume 3, released on February 27, 2014.{{cite news|last1=Ortiz|first1=Edwin|title=Snoop Dogg Is Steady Cruising In "Cadillacs," with Madlib Riding Shotgun|url=http://www.complex.com/music/2014/02/snoop-dogg-cadillacs-prod-by-madlib|access-date=12 February 2016|work=Complex|date=27 February 2014|archive-date=February 16, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216050409/http://www.complex.com/music/2014/02/snoop-dogg-cadillacs-prod-by-madlib|url-status=live}}

Freddie Gibbs and Madlib announced plans for a collaboration album late in 2011 with the release of an EP titled Thuggin, which was followed by a second EP titled Shame on June 22, 2012, and a third EP titled Deeper on September 24, 2013. The duo's full-length collaboration album Piñata was released on March 18, 2014, to widespread critical acclaim. The pair, later known as MadGibbs, released a follow-up album titled Bandana on June 28, 2019.

In a 2010 interview with LA Weekly, Madlib stated that Kanye West put five of his beats on hold for the album he was working on at the time.{{cite news|last1=Weiss|first1=Jeff|title=The Madlib Mystique|url=http://www.laweekly.com/music/the-madlib-mystique-2165642|access-date=12 February 2016|work=LA Weekly|date=24 June 2010|archive-date=March 1, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160301132306/http://www.laweekly.com/music/the-madlib-mystique-2165642|url-status=live}} While none of the beats were used, Madlib did take part in the recording sessions for the album, which evolved from Good Ass Job to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.{{cite news|last1=Harling|first1=Danielle|title=Madlib Says Kanye West Requested Beats For "Good Ass Job"|url=http://hiphopdx.com/news/id.11567|access-date=12 February 2016|work=HipHopDX|date=25 June 2010|archive-date=February 16, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216003658/http://hiphopdx.com/news/id.11567|url-status=live}} He was also rumored to be involved in West's collaboration album with Jay-Z entitled Watch the Throne, but ultimately was not.{{cite news|last1=Jacobs|first1=A.|title=Pete Rock and Q-Tip Production Confirmed On Jay-Z & Kanye West's "Watch The Throne"|url=http://hiphopdx.com/news/id.12351/title.pete-rock-and-q-tip-production-confirmed-on-jay-z-kanye-wests-watch-the-throne|work=HipHopDX|access-date=12 February 2016|date=25 September 2010|archive-date=February 16, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216003656/http://hiphopdx.com/news/id.12351/title.pete-rock-and-q-tip-production-confirmed-on-jay-z-kanye-wests-watch-the-throne|url-status=live}} West was interviewed as part of the 2014 Stones Throw documentary film Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton, in which he opens up about working with Madlib and wanting more of his beats for future projects.{{cite magazine|last1=Newman|first1=Jason|title=Kanye West Talks Dilla, Creating 'Wrong Music' in Stones Throw Doc|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/kanye-west-talks-dilla-creating-wrong-music-in-stones-throw-doc-20140528|access-date=12 February 2016|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=28 May 2014|archive-date=January 12, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160112101044/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/kanye-west-talks-dilla-creating-wrong-music-in-stones-throw-doc-20140528|url-status=live}}
