Armchair A&R: Five Possibilities for Flying Lotus’ Mysterious Project

Flying Lotus & Captain Murphy vs. Quasimoto & Madlib

madlib-quasimotoJust give it a single thought and you’ll be like, “Oh shit, this makes PERFECT sense.” But let me spell it out for you a bit. On one hand, you have Madlib with his warped, bugged-out, and villainous alias, Quasimoto. And on the other, well, you have a very similar situation with Flying Lotus and his Captain Murphy character. Both producers employ blunted rhymes and borderline-evil concepts when they take the mic as their respective alter egos, so why wouldn’t they team up for some kind of “versus” type of project. Sure, it’s unlikely, but hey, Madlib does have a sample credit on Murphy’s Duality release…

  1. Lord Quas vs. Captain Murphy would be sooooooo dope.

  2. the gubmit mayne

  3. How about Fly Lo & Mos Def

    Even if Madlib and Flylo say they are doing something together, we’ll probably never see it. Madlib has more secret projects than the government

  5. He hasn’t been wishing for a call from Kanye. FlyLo doesn’t give a damn about money.

    never know though, he did deny being captain murphy for months. maybe this was another red herring. but if anything it would be sense for any madlib collabs to be party of the captain murphy album.

  7. Reaching is saying Kanye, though. FlyLo doesn’t really like Kanye, Hov, and all them.

    haha u seem like ur reaching with this list!

    erykah badu – both have openly talked about doing and album together and so far only managed to finish one track. why would he be so secretive all of a sudden

    Odd future + danny Brown – seems very unlikely. in that recent pitchfork interview flying lotus said that they dont really hit him up for collabs for some reason. think flylo also once tweeted that he had beats for danny brown which has lead to anything as off now.

    Could even be kanye west, maybe flying lotus finally got that call he has been wishing for lol. we do know kanye is fucking with flylo’s contempories in hudson mohawk. maybe its even a DOOM album!

    thom yorke could be a possibility. and there must be some reason/person wanting to keep it a secret for now.

  9. OH SHIT that’s right!

    madlib + flying lotus isn’t unlikey at all. flylo tweated a year+ ago something like ‘madlib called and said we should get to work on our album’. giles peaterson then brought it up recently and flylo said he doesnt know what the deal is and madlib was really busy atm with just having a kid.
