Catnip Revealed: An LA Weekly Madlib Interview

[dukeofdelridge]

I just saw it referenced somewhere else...person was loving it!





The article is insane. I cannot imagine reading an article written like that about any subject without thinking, "what the FUCK is this dude talking about?" Dude definitely partook in Madlib's weed offerings...crazy words in a row in there...

He's probably got paid by the word so he tried to stretch that schitt.





Papi gave me one pie, but it cook like two

Fanzine article.





I love polyphonic pygmy singing, but haven't checked for Madlib in ages. I'm certainly not hating, but his whole manufactured mystical auteur hermit steez are tired. Quasimoto is his best work. With his other schitt, he does not even approach the Sun Ra levels he tries appropriate. That said i know a couple of very musical dudes, who ride hard for him, so maybe there are levels in his music, that my tone deaf mind cannot understand.

Think a lot of these alternative weeklies just pay a flat rate for features and smaller articles.





Did appreciate 'Lb's reading list. Might pick up that book about magic by the Blondie bassist.

that book is worth picking up, lachman loses his way a bit when he tries to apply his ideas about the 60s to the 2000s in the final (short) section, but that doesn't hurt the point he is trying to make. also, what appears in the article is not an accurate description of what the book is about.
