this man is the definition of a legend

This is amazing holy s***

Four Tet is livestreaming some p cool glitch s*** rn if anyone in here cares

Sonically and just the way they’re mixed from a production stand point, these are madlibs hardest and most modern sounding beats ever. While still having dusty, vinyl lifted sounding drums and s***.

Theme De Crabtree

smoking a 2g blunt with .5g wax in it while listening to this rn and this is choice

Imagine MacLib and MadBlack Star both dropping this year, along with the Thundercat collab

its out

Madlib is something else bros

Album is a dope listen so far. Probably will finish tomorrow because it’s late but enjoying it a lot

the whole dispute over Black Star 2 was over Egon and Talib not negotiating well.. maybe the plan was to have this rollout be part of the monthly Madlib Invasion releases we're getting now

I have no idea if or where this has been brought up on this site, but there's officially information on Madlib's reaction to DOOM's passing.

The interview primarily focuses on Madlib’s new album Sound Ancestors, which was arranged by Four Tet and arrives later tonight. Kieran Hebden told NPR that the two considered postponing the release after news of DOOM’s death came to light. “When we heard about DOOM’s passing, it was all completely shocking,” he said. “Like maybe we just need to put everything on pause for a bit. But maybe releasing Sound Ancestors could be quite a positive thing to happen in the middle of it. You know, Dilla’s gone, DOOM’s gone, but Otis Madlib is hanging in there, going strong and not giving up. He’s actually got this new album coming out and continuing to keep the spirit of all that music, that whole style where the three of them do feel like this sort of magical superpowered trinity.”

Piotr Orlov, NPR Music: Did you know that DOOM had passed away?

Madlib: "No. I found out when everybody else did, on social media. His family's very private, so they probably didn't know how to approach that one. I still can't believe that he died. That's weird."

Had the two of you been in touch?

"We talked like once or twice a year, but that's how it's always been. We talked last year and everything seemed fine."

Did you continue to trade beats, trade music, talk shop, or just...?

"It was mostly me sending him beats, he rarely sent me stuff. But yeah we checked in, whether it was music or not, talking about our kids or whatever."

I ask because I didn't know whether you had continued a close friendship or not. But also because of his passing, people are again talking about this album you made with him — and one you made with Dilla, records that came out within months of one another and...

"That's crazy. And now they're gone."

Yeah. Do you think about that? About mortality...?

"All the time. pause I'm not promised nothing. That's probably why I work so hard, and then try to spend time with my family. You know, I've always been like that though, at least since my mother passed four, five years ago. I have been seeing it since I was young, with cousins and stuff. So I've always thought about it. That's why I try to live to the fullest. I've been doing that."
crazy

S/o Madlib frfr, one of the best producers to ever do it.

We gotta give them their flowers while they're here.

This one def sounds very lively sounding. Madlib always comes with a different approach to production each project.

Instant classic

latino negro is crazy bruh

Not planning on finishing this tonight even with all my hype, but I let the first two tracks play before going to bed and
