[allright715]

[wonderbreaddisplay]

[Maskedbomber]

Flylo is amazing and everything, but Dilla is GOD. Flylo doesnt have orchestras covering his material :) good shit tho, its all love.

[tyknos93]

@BenMightBeWrong Damn I was going to leave this comment...

[HitzvilleTV]

If John Coltrane made beats in the 21 century this would be him!

[iamthealphashit]

He's wonderful!

[airborn101st]

this video connects with me so much

[IrocChevy350]

Thats Wassup! I Heard About Him On Adult Swim! "Massage Situation" Was The 1st One Then I heard " Tea Leaf dancers" I was All Blown As Fuck Thinking Like Who The Fuck Makes These Sicks Ass Beats!! LoL

[snehesten]

I really liked the Los Angeles album, but I've got a hard time getting into his latest one

[djSpinege]

haha so true, i hated that fucking dog!

[WorthyBumper]

this guy right this second is probably playin Marvel vs Capcom 3

[ericjay71]

"that's what life's about, gettin the highest score"

awesome

[ProPain77]

@Ezr1987 Yes Marvel vs. Capcom is my suga! I have that on deck right now

[Doplarmusic]

lotus madlib dimlite Voices of Black Orbison Jaar

[kishbass]

had no idea he was into adult swim. that's sick.

[AIRSO97]

i have the ideas but not the materials what does he use to make his music please help

[dosfader]

@AIRSO97 well for starters, youll need a decent computer. SOmething that has alot of ram and a good sound card. Then buy a decent recording program, like sonar, pro tools, logic, steinberg, something that will get the job done and then some. Then try to figure out if you want to make your music sound. For instance if you like beats alot then buy a drum machine midi device. If you like keyboards more than buy a good midi controller or nice keyboard. or buy both. After that begin learning.

[barehotmash]

@AIRSO97 ableton live

[Ezr1987]

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is the fuckin truth.

[Gosnell4645]

0:53 looks like someone throws a basketball in his mouth hahaa

[SocialistDemocracy]

HOLY IMA SEE THIS GUY LIVE IN 2 DAYS AHHH

[Bongrush]

lol, duck hunt rules!

[JayRocFly]

[Bandolero8000]

dude cooks up the sickest beats, serious. 

[Steeley8]

Great Job!

[LIGHTRONIX]

I loved that last quote about galaxian.

[unkommon2001]

So baked

[PlasmidOfficial]

dude has tiny ears!

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

hes as cool as his music

[kyle2point]

anyone know what he uses to make beats?

[Afekz]

@kyle2point Ableton Live + Reason as a ReWire.

[mexico4evah]

5:18 - 5:52 exactly how i feel party music in a performance and something that matters on your emblem

[ikon36]

cool dude

[br3nt0n]

theres always that one loser to click dislike instead of not watching the video

[DCgreenery]

this dude is down to earth

really humble artists are rare

[Elegia3000]

@DCgreenery yeah this guy and lil wayne are legends. so humble

[badcuda1]

Beautifully done interview! LOOOOOVE the "Great Job" at the end!

[410CharmCity]

What is the song at the very beginning of the video?

[cky12qxz]

@410CharmCity Flying Lotus - Camel

[MoneyBagsMartinez]

Listening to FlyLo, said to myself, "the cat can't be human." Looked this shit up, gets high and watches [adult swim], just like me right, and loves Marvel v.s. Capcom 2, just like me. He's as human as anyone i've ever seen, fucking amazing.

[ginnfactor]

MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2 FOR DREAMCAST!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chrishaslam323]

most amzing dj live he takes you on a rollercoaster through space

you fell like it is just you in the clouds above all people with just the music on cloud 9

he and GLK were great at the music box the DESTORY LA

[cavaleer]

Tradition. How fitting that the baton is passed from one generation of genius to the next...from Coltrane to Flying Lotus.

[djamorpheus]

I equate him as a modern day dilla

[SeismicInfluence]

@djamorpheus him n dilla chill!

[chatzimcfee]

@SeismicInfluence Dilla is dead you fool. RIP

[D201RECORDS]

@djamorpheus yeah kinda, but more broad on musical genre. haha

[TheSludgeMan]

@djamorpheus better than Dilla

[RoyalRoyale]

@TheSludgeMan He's good, but not better than dilla

dilla > jneiro > flying lotus

[SickeninglyILL]

@RoyalRoyale it's called personal preference

[DamnIwannafck232]

@RoyalRoyale dilla is great but personally i'd rather listen to flying lotus

[klongklong77]

@TheSludgeMan

WTF is wrong with you man?? shut the fuck up dickhead

[TheSludgeMan]

@klongklong77 Wow, i didn't realise this page was being monitored by the opinion police. Go fuck yourself.

[fakeplasticfool]

@djamorpheus

so much more though 

[djamorpheus]

@fakeplasticfool yes if you're looking at this in a relative manner, but dilla was an inspiration in his day and an inspiration now to the experimentation in hip hop. You can't say that Aristotle is better than Socrates.

[fakeplasticfool]

@djamorpheus

point taken, dilla was in fact inspiration to flylo he dug him

[MrGamerMan64]

@djamorpheus Hopefully he doesn't go out like that too.....

[djamorpheus]

@MrGamerMan64 hopefully not, but hey if he does we still have the best of his music :)

[MrGamerMan64]

@djamorpheus I would say "I hope it gets even better" but it's already perfect

[robertbutler714]

@djamorpheus a modern day dilla but nobody raps over his beats

[bubbadude117]

@robertbutler714 look up Blu - GNG BNG. you're welcome :)

[Sospiro1209]

@robertbutler714

wrong, check my channel. "kick your shoes off"

[KillSeattleLewis]

@djamorpheus I don't understand the Dilla comparisons. I think FlyLo is much better, and has a totally different sound. The sampling is much less obvious.

[BjorntheViking]

@KillSeattleLewis

I suppose because FlyLo and Dilla are probably the two best known "leftfield hip-hop" producers out there, alongside maybe Madlib. Dilla was a big influence on FlyLo as well.

[TheHughyg]

3:24 best fighter ever!

[sawanaki]

i like how he's a bit bit geeky and he's dope as hell

[kok888]

Flying Lotus Kicks ASS !!! He is a genius, yet not arrogant about it ! I feel what he is saying .. and nope.. i am not high on any shit !!

[Screwston4Ever]

@kok888 lol...but i'll be high in a minute jammin his shit lol....and yea man, flylo is a effin genius...hes so humble about everything and his point of view on music isnt like the common population

[imwkidteck]

damn he's mad laid back...seems like a cool dude...def smokes the ganja!! hahaha. KEEP IT UP FLYLO!

[MarkPheonix]

@BenMightBeWrong Nice left 4 dead 2 reference lmao

[MazeBass1]

Fuck Converse. Flying Lotus kicks ass!

[mariolenard]

3:42 [adult swim]

[karamelkel96]

he seemz pretty cool

[w4r7]

excellent interview. great job xlr8r and thanx for the post Moovmnt!

[cKunke2]

i feel what he says about live vs. albums

[sellahremy]

Can somebody please tell me what beat is playing at the "5:00" min mark of this video?

[djchuckdee12]

@sellahremy yea it is called massage situation

[notts57]

what's the 1st track that's on just as he says "chilling in san francisco"?

[sellahremy]

Can somebody please tell me what beat is playing at the "5:00" min mark of this video?

[boba719]

This Dude is a serious gamer

[funkymonk25]

Mannn... i wanna chill with FlyLo and watch some t&e

[mavis7355]

Is the song in the commercial a track on one of his albums?

[rockfeller11]

i'd literally kill someone, anyone just to be as creative as this dude.

[morton360]

What's that tune Lotus is humming in the beginning of the end credits?

[AKAsheldon]

@morton360 the price is right theme

[morton360]

@AKAsheldon Ohh yeah hahaha nvm then :)

[sheatheman]

i would have to say marvel vs. capcom 2 is trumped by street fighter 3 third strike.

[tstabled]

I Met Him On Myspace

T

[MrGemini612]

so thats why he made sangria spin cycle! I love when i find out the inspiration behind or meaning to someones work!

[HipHopElectronic]

Flying Lotus Makes Ill ass music. But Marvel VS Capcom 2 best fighter? GTFO with that Button mashing bullshit...... =D

[ColdHeartsEnt]

I wonder if he has an XBox Live account.

[DoctorBlunderbuss]

[chris1234p]

man i would love to play some marvel vs capcom 2 with this dude, although capcom vs snk 2 is better!

[FinnishSisu]

isnt DMT some sort of a drug? or i could be wrong..

[MammothMole]

DMT is a drug that is released when you die and is extractable from a number of different sources.

[FinnishSisu]

Oh ok, well how do u use DMT if it's already inside our bodyies? i't could be hard to describe through youtube, send me a link if u got any, im interested to know what DMT does to you

[iamtekst]

its a neurotransmitter yo

[Masterpeewee]

[anom4lie]

[crayZneZZ]

[anom4lie]

its like the most extreme psychedelic there is

they say that your brain produces it when you dream and when you die

it pretty much sounds like his music

[Teknowledge93]

[Icon206]
