Talib Kweli & Madlib On 'Liberation 2', Mac Miller Joint Project, + Losing MF DOOM

[@MrCWA6891]

Madlib has been really coming out of his shell as of late. Glad to see that Madlib is putting himself out there more because he's always been a private person.

[@sawyerbarney4194]

hes got a lot of pressure on him, hes got a LOT of post humous music to release and i feel like hes the only one to talk about it. love madlib tho

[@skrbl174]

first i tought that you have Madvillainy album pic as your profile pic, lol

[@lukeisprvkt]

he parted ways with that asshole Egon who controlled him for too long

[@carlDJS]

Same, it's really great to see. I respect how reclusive he is. He hasn't change much, but he has tried to be more approachable for interviews.

[@eyesyc]

Glad he kept it on the under for so long, it was like a gift the past 25years

I'm actually smiling from ear to ear after hearing Madlib confirming my dream wishes about a album with Your Old Droog. All of my favorite rappers is mentioned in this vid. I loved Liberation 2 and No fear of time too, I wanna thank you for helping me reach the understanding

[@princep]

I've been hearing Madlib talk about a continuation of Madvillainy for over a decade, and I still get chills at the thought of it being released.

Amazing news about the Mac and Madvillain 2 music… Madlib the master

[@tristanchuey]

Now I question, with Madlib being on his own. How much of old management was actually holding him back from putting out records and actually going outside?😂 I feel like I been seeing more of him lately and that’s dope asf

[@MrCWA6891]

I heard that he had dropped Egon as his manager and hired Stacy Epps. I hope we will get more music from him.

[@dylanrowleyprod]

Although I love Egon, I do feel that he made Madlib’s relationship with Stones Throw more difficult. They are more like record collector buddies rather than a manager and artist relationship, and Madlib caught onto that.

[@STUDIOSTEPS_motion]

Hmmmm do they talk about talib calling out egon a culture vulture etc? The mf Doom rap Book thing?

[@lobsterblacc9478]

@@dylanrowleyprodyou don’t even know egon. There’s a bigger reason that he left him. He tried to shut down the Blackstar album release. Dude is a culture vulture that needs to get help pronto. He also stole DOOM’s notebooks. Screw that guy

There is truth in everything we do. As a people, we need to recognize the childishness that evaluates people who do not recognize us. But as mature adults that respect lives of hip hop historians, let the legendary act of the bears and rhymes hes composed stand for themselves.

"Imagine a Netflix for podcasts" yeah dude I'm imagining it and it's fucking up everything that's good about podcasts. I can get all my podcasts in one app because they're not tied to individual streaming services. Anyone can just make one and throw it on a public directory and everyone can listen to it, you don't need to deal with a Netflix or a Spotify or any other corporate entities, that's what makes them good. Very telling that these guys always just pretend that Bandcamp doesn't exist when this subject comes up.

[@mrfront9646]

Interesting when Madlib says he’s cut everyone off and he’s doing everything himself now. That pretty much all but confirms that him and Egon aren’t business partners anymore and prob aren’t on good terms.

[@arress2052]

Egon just released a video the other day and Madlib was in it. It looked new. Maybe they still hang but not as business partners.

RARE interview

[@JakeGittes84]

Here Madlib says he's always kept in touch with DOOM, whereas in an interview he did along with Gibbs I think, he sort of implied DOOM hits HIM up once a year asking for beats. In retrospect, maybe out of respect for Gibbs he didn't want to make the interview about his past collaboration/partnership with DOOM, when they had an ongoing thing and did that interview together.

[@vexotimmer2675]

Well said, that could be the reason why. Speaking of Freddie Gibbs, I wonder if we're still gonna get that "Montana" project by Gibbs and Madlib in the future.

[@JakeGittes84]

@@vexotimmer2675 Something tells me it's not coming, or if it is, not anytime soon. Madlib didn't even mention it in passing when Rosenberg asked what he's been cooking up. Personally I'm a little bored of Gibbs and I'm now looking forward to Madlib x YOD.

Shouldn't be about the money, but I get it. When you feel like you've been getting robbed the last 20 plus years. If I'm being honest black star album would have went platinum if they put it in spotify. Should be about the music, which I've heard this messaged preached by the same artists putting a pay wall on their music lol. I get it tho and I'm willing to pay to listen to 3 of my favorite artists. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't think I am, but black star and liberation 2 would be so much more successful if they digitally distributed it.
