if not there will be footage for u dihard madlib fans. but sad to say he kinda flopped w/ his performance ,was talkin shit to the crowd. plus he was gettin booed . it didnt help that i played b4 his set. so u already know ur boy brought his A game.

but what amazes me is how ppl try havin excuses for there favorite artist. when they show up to the venue w/o preparing for a set, talkin most of the set no music playing. totally disrespecting whoever paided money to see a good show. i know some ppl probaly gonna catch feeling about this.

i love his beats and all definitely very talented. idk i just take the craft too serious so it kinda bothered me to see that. didnt envision my first time rockin with madlib to be like that.

bummer for you and the people who paid. at least you rocked that shit D!

best believe if i get 10 racks for a hour set im gonna rock it like its my last set. i rock it like its my last set on the planet for nothing. haha. ppl let cats get away with murder cause of who they are.

its kinda interesting seeing this from an insiders perspective while standing on the outside. big ups dood.

There certainly seem to be quite a few artists around who view events as money rather than a job to bring the talent to.. it's sad.. Mostly they'll stop getting booked, but some names are just so big that it's like unstoppable...

dollarllama - got any files/videos of YOUR set?! I would love to take a listen.

congrats, btw. even if Madlib dissapointed, you just upped your standing in the scene by like 10000% for just being on stage with him, I guess

Cool for you, bad for Madlib.

i'd pay to listen to madlib talk shit

i understand that he doesn't really like performances, if i were him i'd just quit doing them (but of course that's what brings in the money nowadays)

btw Dibiase, is the vinyl for your machines album still forthcoming or is it 'indefinitely delayed'?

i'm curious as to why he "flopped", could you expand a bit more? what made the show such a disappointment, and what do you mean talking shit to the crowd?

Sucks to hear man, although I'm not totally surprised by it. Respect to you though, probably widened your audience a lot with that show. I can think of a bunch of shows I went to see the headliner and came home a bigger fan of the dude who hit the stage before em. Peace.

I haven't seen Madlib, but to my knowledge his show is less performance based and more of a DJ-type show where he plays a bunch of exclusive cuts. A grip of fanboys swoon when he unveils a yet to be heard Madvillain joint, etc.

Still one of my favorite beatsmiths of all time, but strange to me that for his popularity he hasn't developed a stronger live game. I still wouldn't mind shaking his hand, though.

Btw, Dibia$e...looking forward to seeing you in NOLA next weekend with Samiyam (who is a hell of a performer, too). Can't wait...

wow man cant believe that happened too...

what sucks is he's like the current "underground" go to guy so why do some wack shit... break your shit up into two sets if u aint physically mentally ready...

i seen him before during the chrome children tour and he was kinda the same way where he barely looked at the crowd then he just did a few joints and was out...

at least you rocked it tho... thats what counts... and u can add his name to your rep of performance anyway... but i totally understand... if i got to do a joint with one of my favs and they were poop then id hand em a 2 ply and tell them to clean that shit up, lol

yeah they gotta get that bread at the end of the day. but when ur at that status when u are labeled a great. you have to be great in many aspects not just makin the beats , but performance as well. and show u worth every cent.

btw good lookin out on the cds man definitely appreciate that.

yeah nola is going to be crazy !!!! sam is a fool, computerjay is insane and dj cenepede is very ill. definitely well chop it up out there. good to connect with sp fam in person

its more like mumblin tho.lol he might drank too much of this bottle of crown royal they put in front of him while rockin.

machine hate me vinyl im waitin on word for that from kev. but i will have a remix project of machine hate me near the time the vinyl drops. with remixes from pudge, ras g, dak, thavieus beck, mike gao, klipmode, dizz1 to name a few.

ill have my girl upload the footage soon and definitely leave a post on the forum. good lookin out u got a point tho.
