Madlib talks Yesterday’s New Quintet, Sampling and Gear | Red Bull Music Academy

► Subscribe to Red Bull Music Academy: win.gs/SubscribeRBMA
In his 2002 Red Bull Music Academy lecture, Madlib revealed the secrets of his favourite studio equipment, the story behind his Quasimoto alias, his work as Yesterday’s New Quintet, and more.
Since the early ’90s, the reclusive Madlib has been producing music at a relentless pace. Whether he’s working with artists like Freddie Gibbs, MF Doom or Erykah Badu, collaborating with the late J Dilla, or working under one of his own aliases, like the drugged-out party creature Quasimoto, Madlib has carved out his own idiosyncratic corner in the massive hip-hop universe.

[@mysticthegirl8025]

23:14 imagine having the chance to witness madlibs process wow

[@daniel_dumile]

They thought madvilliany would sell 40k and it did 150k, pirated everywhere, and changed hip hop

[@Essencemusica47]

That’s amazing wow

[@Samuel-hp6op]

pretty cool to hear him play madvillain stuff

[@braesrecords]

this man is amazing. the yesterdays quintet is the coolest idea ever; i will also be doing this.

[@SvintMvrcus]

Damn I’d be so happy to find a 303 for $200

[@anthonynguyen4127]

ill be honest... thats almost impossible :( Today they go for like 500-700!

[@JEFFMAN90]

Get the 404mk2. It has the 303 vinyl effect

[@glenconnolly5513]

you can get a behringer version for like 150,

[@lalainalaska]

​@glenconnolly5513 not the TR 303 the SP 303 which is a sampler not a bass synthesizer

[@SvintMvrcus]

@@JEFFMAN90 I ended up finding a modded 303 for like 200 but I also have the mk2 lol

[@darrellcrenshaw9339]

Madlib is doper than dope! Seriously!

Omg madlib performing in a Quasimoto suit. Hilarious.

[@noaharkadedelgado]

[@janaknaidu9984]

[@blazebott]

mushroom binge , where are you from madlib? saturn

[@jaimedeleon1194]

Cut Chemist in the house!! 23:17 !!

[@benweidner1]

this is so typical of the artist vs hobbyist paradigm: artists just make shit with whatever is near them, and they don't question it too much -- they are just channeling expression. hobbyists/gear-heads think that by getting the right drum machine or recorder or whatever that they might be able to get a similar output...but they lack the artist part -- just make shit

[@Zeal808]

Exactly

[@omkasarkhedkar9413]

looks like madlib was high af

[@seafood_cherry]

doubt it, he said the weed in Brazil was trash lol

[@Zeal808]

26:50 “yeah, I can do that too” 😂

[@Bi_scotti_5]

imagine being in this room being shown a new track off Madvillainy before it even releases

[@xdeepfryx]

lol i remember the saw this video with low quality. thx for the upload.

[@noaharkadedelgado]

17:47 the famous raw addict dance lol

[@LeemLovesArt]

NO DISLIKES !!!

[@djtrakakadrunkpoet8598]

I like the older Redbull interview better I mean dude had Shades of Blue , Madvillain,Jaylib in the works and still making shit 02 - 05 were the best years . Plus J Dilla was still alive so aura was good. Then his homie interviewed him not that other dude

[@djtrakakadrunkpoet8598]

The very life of me feels like it depletes from exhaustion from asking about a random beat Cd from this era that hasn’t thought to see the light of day . Where some people think reflection of life and it’s troubles are through a psychiatrist. I’d rather listen to Madlib and the way I would perk up when certain beat tapes just popped up on you tube . It’s like God telling u . Heaven is more than u could have imagined

[@the.elsewhere]

[@daniel_dumile]

He meant Sun Ra tho, adding za at the end of names is a common thing

[@bangmateo7481]

I heard from Seth at Free Lunch studio that Mad cant play any instruments. He owns them but cant play them but tries.

[@virreyumi3546]

what is the song at 17:43

[@DrVonNostrand]

The austism is real. I love Madlib tho

[@FaithfulComforter]

He’s probably high or tipsy. He doesn’t act like this in other interviews. Him being a quiet guy, I’m sure he’s shy.

[@daniel_dumile]

⁠yeah he's high as fuck

[@Ja_Zer]

17:46 tf kinda move is lib doing

[@sansung4189]

its the key move to getting a tight kick fr 🔥🔥🔥
