XLR8R TV Ep. 60: Flying Lotus' High Score

[SewermanXaul]

The song at 1:03 sounds very similar to Amon Tobin's "Saboteur".

[TheQwerty92x]

@SewermanXaul same drum sample. it's a sample from Ansley Dunbar's Retaliation - Watch 'n' Chain

[tequillaroze7]

YO !! type in [ EAT PRAY LOVE & RHYME ] that [ FLYING LOTUS ] sh*t..goes hard & [ ROZE ] spits nice !!

[americannable]

you wouldnt get it, its american. like FLYING LOTUS. GET OFF ARE NUTS

[americannable]

flying lotus underrated?? do you live under a rock?

[RoflMaiWaffel]

@americannable I think he means he should be recognized by the mainstream.

[americannable]

@RoflMaiWaffel  maybe we'll see a flying lotus fabio collaboration

[MrSafeboss]

what show is he talking about at the end during the creds?

[ChuOnWax]

Refreshing'!

[ringo72]

Lotus is fresh as hell...He look like a young Kool Mo Dee! Lol!

[MrInfiniteOhms]

@Intellectual95: if your iq is so high, you should have the capacity to appreciate something outside of what you're comfortable listening to. Those beeps and bloops are to this generation of young adults what Led Zeppelin solos were to our parents, and FlyLo makes them meaningful.

Walk to the corner with cosmogramma or tea leaf dancers playing in headphones. Watch traffic for a while. It fits, doesn't it?

[ihavevideoatoo]

[Adult Swim] has brought me my favorite cartoons and know my favorite musician

[leebeer]

Big props to the aphex twin of dubstep. I love to have smoke with him, he just seems like such a nice guy, very down to earth for such a genius

[americannable]

@leebeer flying lotus isnt dubstep, hes beat culture. dubstep pretty much blows donkey dick

[leebeer]

@americannable fuck of with genre rating crap. he is good music, beat culture?? fuck offf

[americannable]

@leebeer haha... its all love man. i know its not your fault you have no style. you come from from a long line of people without style. i know theres no reason to tell you dubstep comes from dub and techno, while fl comes from hip hop, jazz, and electronic; cause you cant even hear me, and you just basically will just always be whack. so enjoy. peace

[leebeer]

@americannable you must be american so what the fuck do you know about good music

[americannable]

@leebeer yeah so is flying lotus, and a little thing called hip hop was born in new york city. get off are nuts

[leebeer]

@americannable it died there too

[americannable]

@leebeer again, one of the dumbest things ive heard in a while. enjoy being 22 for the rest of your life ...

[leebeer]

look you called him beat culture. thats just classic dumb american talk. you are pretty far behind the uk when to electronic music so thats a shame. but you'll catch up . peace, sorry didnt wanna start some shit. if you read my 1st comment it was nothing but a normal comment. you jumped on that ..ok im done on this

[TheQwerty92x]

@leebeer grow up. music is subjective and no one wants to hear about your attempts to measure music. fuck a genre.

[leebeer]

@TheQwerty92x  measure music? whats that mean? my 1st comment was a compliment, then you sad cocks just go mad about genres....idiots

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

@leebeer he probably meant "LA beat" culture, which is the name the brainfeeder et al movement has acquired. I'm Canadian so I don't give a f*** but I have heard it called that.

[bearsandvodka]

WHATS THAT BEAT PLAYING FIRST 25 SECONDS?

[bearsandvodka]

@bearsandvodka oh thats auntie's harp dude

[zinynano]

definitely not underrated, just unappreciated

[FranciscoShreds]

FUCK YES! FlyLo plays marvel! That's the dopest shit ever! just when you thought the dude couldn't get anymore amazing.

[DCgreenery]

He is one of the coolest people ever and his music is fuckin dope

[RoflMaiWaffel]

@Intelectual95 LOL this guy has been trolling a lot of IDM vids (going around searching Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre, etc.), just ignore it. His troll verse is even copy pasta'd every. single. time.

[iSelfRecords]

yo !! type in [ FLYING LOTUS THEY TALKING ] IT GOES HARD !!

[Zackdizzle379]

Those Bleeps and Bloops are comforting, FlyLo. Keep em coming.

[beowulven]

Black radio won't play FlyLo.

[JonnoThomas]

Just because radio doesn't play him does not mean hi is "underrated"

[Doct0rG]

Finally got around to watching the whole bio vid after it being on his myspace for a long-ass while and all but confirms that he is my favorite person in the history of time. Dude's seriously like my soul mate, no homo

[Corjai]

Oh shit! FLYING LOTUS FEATURES A FEMALE MC, CORJAI ON PAPER CRANE GANG REMIX!!!! CHECK IT OUT NOW, GO TO CORJAI PAGE!

[Nina513]

He's fuckin' genius...

I would love to see him live one day....

Music at its best...

[lavvvona]

I just got Los Angeles and I fuckin love it.

[ailbubble]

"I'd turn the TV to Adult Swim, get in my car and get high real quick"

gotta love this guy

[joshmendes83]

GREAT interview with a f*cking legend!

[wcm13179]

He's related to Alice Coltrane? I was into her music before I knew about him!

I wonder if he's ever sampled her work.

[alphasold13r]

@wcm13179 He has PLENTY of times, in his song "Aunties Harp", he samples her music and its the first song playing in this video. lol

[nmh2112]

TIM AND ERIC

[barbeq67]

come on dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooown

[MosDef3000]

what music software he possible use? the beats are nuts.

[dakingofdano]

@MosDef3000 Ableton Live

[hamsarney]

Agree with Flylo completely. MvC2 on the Dreamcast = best fighter ever.

And yeah, he's pretty much the greatest.

[espozito]

awesome, this is the first interview ive seen with him...its really cool hearing him talk about his musical family and all that. Oh yeah, those of you confused about his last comment, don't take it too seriously.

[rawfflecakes]

yeah his music is pretty good. don't get his saying bout 'life is about who gets the highest score'. lol

[DMAlivenow]

hahah screw that dog...

[GPXXX]

Interview was allright! But really FLyLo, is life about who gets the hightest score? I am not taking that remark seriously.

[FatGuyInALiddoCoat]

3:15

[bianathon]

This cat is hot as hell. It's hard not to dig these tunes. Even if one is not from the Nintendo generation, I can't imagine these beats not creeping into that pleasing area of musical memory.

[jloker77]

one of the most underrated

muscial geniuss

imo

[virgilsupreme]

@jloker77 he's not underrated. venues are always full here. or are you saying that he doesn't get enough play on tv?

[jloker77]

@virgilsupreme  where @

[virgilsupreme]

@jloker77 amsterdam baby!

[astralacuity]

@jloker77 I think there's a fundamental difference between underrated and unpreferred- and even at that, he is quite popular in an already esoteric scene (especially compared to pop music) but a genius nonetheless.

[jloker77]

@astralacuity well hes not on mtv , radio etc...which is why he's unpreferred.Nowadays people willl like anything on the radio & television.It takes real ears to go out of ones way to get out of the river of mainstream bullshit to listen to real music,again just My Opinion.

[askastaz]

Look at the 00:54 looks like the ball goes to his mouth.

[StraightGruesome]

i love listening to his music, blowed, and sober. i dont know what sounds better...

[chickenpotpie84]

Nice vid!

[mariano26788]

"A crazy geek moment" jajajaja the best moment of every beatmaker i think

[AMOKIAN]

COOLNESS!!!!!!!

[djmrbrown00]

homie is FIRE!!

[razedeezy]

I remember the 1st time listening to "Los Angeles". It was nighttime and the stars were out. This is alien music.

[Mr9]

got to take a pic with this cat when he was in san jo on friday, wish i had seen this video before then so i could talk some marvel vs capcom 2 wit him!

[ghostmonkeyrape]

great musician

[beatmakinef]

[abelizable]
