I feel like he could have did a better job. It’s obvious Madlib doesn’t like talking about himself. He was always way more open to talk about the music and artists he’s interested in. You need to adapt and go in those directions and from there you learn about madlib They also should have talked about gear and instruments. Asking generic process questions didn’t go anywhere

You can’t explain something thats done when you’re in that zone like making beats. It just happens. Its like asking someone How does your heart pump?

I don't think the interviewer is bad overall (his interview with DOOM is excellent), but he certainly doesn't capitalize on the (few) moments when Madlib actually seems willing to say more about a particular topic. For example, when Madlib says he made the "No More Parties in LA" beat on an iPad the interviewer should do everything possible to keep Madlib talking about that. Instead he says "oh that's interesting" and moves on... Missed opportunities.

I can tell Madlib very much wanted to get the hell out of there asap, but this is much like all his other interviews, he answers the questions as best as he can and nods and you can tell his mind is racing with other matters, probably music. He's very hard to pin down, and his musical output very much reflects his artistic personality. He's a treasure.

Producers who are introvert or shy is due to the heavy creative process and this also involved thier inner feelings used to create music. This process creates a strange awkwardness when they speak to the public due to sound absorbing. The creative process uses thier minds and captivates them into sound alone. Madlib speaks through music and music only. He has secrets of Dilla he will never reveal. I don't know if this makes sense as it's not easy to put your finger on it. R.I.P James Yancey

That's his zone though. He doesn't care about the fame. One of the most modest individuals I have seen talk. It's like he is famous, but not at the same time. That perfect balance. Madlib is definitely in my top 5 producers or top 3 no question. Madlib is the most abstract producer out of all those you mentioned though imo. He isn't meant for everybody. He is meant for those that don't limit themselves to one way of thought, especially on music. He does hip hop through all the genres of music. Has that universal vibe to him. Kind of why he is an alien. I just can't understand how Dilla and Madlib were able to know each other at the same time in the same places doing the same godly work that they do. It's insane. They both were born and raised around music day in and day out. And this is the result of that. 2 of the best hip hop producer/emotion to motion creators I to have done what they do. That's the power of music and love right there. Nothing else matters, but that to them. That's what living is about.

Thank you for this interview. Madlib is such an inspiration for many musicians including myself. His knowledge of music and his approach to it really motivates me to keep going. He is an Artist with a capital "A". He cares about it and wants to learn more and more, never satisfied. He always mentions great artists like Sun Ra, Lonnie Liston Smith, MF Doom, J Dilla or John Coltrane. By studying him you learn a lot. People nowadays are so focused on the technical aspect (like mixing) instead of the creative input of the artist. OK, those things are important but in the long run what matters are the ideas that the artist provides to the culture. Him learning all those instruments is also so fascinating and motivates me to do the same. He is a real artist and i'm glad that his name becomes a bit more mainstream because he deserves it. In a few years people will realize who he was and they will be blown away. Shout out to the Bad Kid !

this man is a man of music, that's all his essence consists of. I love his approach to music and how he doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's all about the music and I respect him greatly for it.

Professor Madlib, with the unseen curriculum! 👏🏽💡🔥

madlib - one of the last true dope dudes in the industry. Forget about the content of his beats....the dude alone is such a rare gem. Hiphop forever.

Very big respect for Madlib, the beatz stayz, and the music never dies, thanks to the genius!!!

With JDilla knocking down the doors of Hip Hop's House of production and Madlib Crashing thru the ceiling of that same House, our Culture of sound is now Homeless and free to become artistic nomads. I have nothing but joy and love for this new outlook, it makes the future of music bright with hope. Just imagine a Madlib and Qtip together on a whole project so Bliss....

The Greatest. Such A Dope Interview Too

The interviews at RBMA are always very nervous and star struck, but they’re clearly fans and know a lot about the artist. It’s really cool and endearing and I much prefer it to interviewers who are clearly just doing an assignment and asking questions they already know answers to.

Madlib is just how I expected him to be. He doesn't really like/care about talking with people, it's always been about the music and the experiences he has with it. Props to the interviewer for trying to get him to open up, though. It was a valiant effort.

I love everything this man says

Madlib is the most humble dude in the industry. Much respect to this man.

Thank you for the music Otis, love you

Madlib seems like the most down to earth dude ever... Soft-spoken af, just lets his work do the talking for him.

Love Madlib... he just does it... 'polishing beats for weeks... i dont mess with that..." lol... love his intuition and relentlessness

1 min in and im like oh this gonna be a tough one😂😂😂 This interview is dope af.

I like how he looks around crowd after each response like "should I be lying?" Because he's just so raw and to the point with no fluff

I love this man SO much bruh

Everybody talks about the Madvillian Lp quite rightly as a mad MF DOOM vinyl collector myself but my favourite Madlib album production wise was Lootpack Sounpieces Da Antidote in 1999 the production was ......if you haven’t checked it and your a madlib fan that album was the most perfect “madlib” production.the first time I listened to it,it blew my fuckin mind,words can’t do it justice! Side note-When Soundpieces Da Antidote came out it got 3mics in the Source which is hip hop blasphemy,Peanut Butter Wolf who as the head of Stones Throw was in Lootpacks corner & he sent a note to the reviewer in the next months letters page of the source basically saying “WTF!How the fuck can you give this masterpiece anything but a five mics,ya’ll are sleeping watch”I’m paraphrasing but that was the main point,history has proven Wolf 100% correct & the source 100% wrong.

THIS is a legendary Producer. Fuckin 12 years since the amazing Madvillainy and he's still poppin. Take notes Mustard, this man been here for 20 summers.
