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

Flying Lotus & Erykah Badu

badu-coverWe heard that Erykah Badu and Flying Lotus were in the studio together, but we also heard that the project had been put on hold. That might have just been a way to disguise the work these two have put in together, as we cross our fingers that a collaborative project might drop in the near future. How could you now want to hear a Badu/Lotus project after the release of “See Thru To U” from Until The Quiet Comes?

Like we said, though, we heard this one was put on the back burner. And knowing Badu, this might not actually see the light of day for a few more years, if ever. She isn’t exactly the fastest one to pull the trigger, but let’s hope that they continue to pump out new offerings in the studio while we sit and patiently wait.

  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.
