Flying Lotus - Redbull Lecture / RBMA Lectures Discussion

[drooka]

Mala one was top
i found it pretty awesome how genuine he seemed to be, both to the music he makes and loves, as well as about sharing his experiences. definitely a lecture i would re-watch

[terryfunk4life]

i got this email back from the RBMA

"Thank you very much for your interest in the Red Bull Music Academy and your question. Due to concerns by FlyLo's management, we had to remove this video from our website and youtube / vimeo channels. We hope to have it back on our site sometime, but can't promise anything at this point. "


kind of a bummer

Probably because his openness about DMT in the interview

[mondays child]

The Theo Parrish one is pure knowledge and should be mandatory viewing for anyone remotely interested in music.

[Duffman]

Really wanted to watch this

And the MJ Cole one which they never uploaded.

Really interesting lecture/discussion. Looks like David was a bit nervous - sweaty pits at the end!

Anybody know if it's still possible to find this?

[zosomagik]

I'm looking now, I'll post if I find anything. This is something I'm VERY interested in, I'm really curious as to what exactly he says about his process because he's notorious for keeping his secrets a secret.

[_TraX_]

I'm a huge fan of these lectures, always thought it was weird that flylo hasn't done one, it makes sense now that he did it way back and it got taken down.
Lol at the Madlib one, he was hella faded I bet! That monk Hughes tune he plays though is probably my favourite tune by Yesterday's Universe.
the DOOM, make and shanti I ones are amazing.

Hopefully soon they decide to put it back up!!

[zosomagik]

Yeah, I've been diggin' for it with no luck. I peeped the madlib one though, and it is pretty dope. I always get a little bummed out when they don't get into the technical side of things though.

[SunkLo]

Audio clips here. Poopy quality but better than nothing.

[zosomagik]

Thanks man. Ill have to peep them when I get the patience to listen to them.

[rickyarbino]

I heard, on here, that it was taken down because of his openness regarding DMT usage.
Was hoping someone knew of a leak, or had grabbed it off of vimeo before the down-taking.

[zosomagik]

Yeah man, I've been looking for awhile and I think the audio clips are going to be as good as it gets.

[nowaysj]

Isn't it amazing in this day and age when information isn't available? It's like wtf is this shit? I can't instantly know something? GHETOUTTAHERE!

[zosomagik]

We're all spoiled fuckers. But honestly, I'm super surprised that I can't find this.

[Jizz]

what exactly is it that he said that was so controversial though, was it just that he condoned the drug or something?

[rickyarbino]

Iirc, I read that his lawyers suggested this. [and if you'll allow me to specvulate] This may have been because of unrelated drug posession/usage offences/charges.

But yeah, the fact that I cant find something on the internet today astounds me

[_TraX_]

Of course it has to be one of the most technically astounding hip hop producers who gets his vid removed !!
Would love to hear more about his history though, and what it was like working at Stones Throw .

Flylo must have sent out a big fuck you to the lawyers when he put the DMT song on his album .
