Don’t get any closer to each other
This is the most interesting thing I’ve seen all year.
I don’t know how to feel about this
ahhhh
What is this suppose too meann?
it represents the fragility of friendship. Once you get too close you can break something that can be beautiful. If you recede too far the beauty will fly away. The eyes on the butterflies wings symbolise the truth about the pain they have seen.
DUDE, that was so deep

Madlib x Rolling Stone Interview
Madlib chops it up with Rolling Stone Magazine as they do a lil’ catching up with what he’s been up to and what he has planned for the future.
What’s Quasimoto been up to in the eight years since his last album?
He’s been laying back, laying low [laughs].Has he just been eating mushrooms all that time?
Of course.Are you still planning to release another Quasimoto album of all new material?
Yes, but I still haven’t finished. It takes time. It has to be on a different level. The shrooms were the stuff that made me do Quasimoto in the first place. Hopefully, I get back on that level where I can finish it.Will the Madvillain sequel ever see the light of day?
I handed all the beats to Doom years ago, but ever since he’s been in Europe, he’s been hard to get a hold of. I feel it probably won’t happen, but you never know. I can’t sit and wait on that. I did my part.You recently started your own label, Madlib Invazion. Do you see that as mainly a place to release your music, or will you be releasing music from other artists as well?
Both. I’m going to release records from Kan Kick. A couple of singing artists. That’s all I’ve found so far. I want to work with Stones Throw and also do my own thing. Stones Throw already has a lot of artists, so it makes sense to be able to release my other stuff on the side.How is MadGibbs coming?
It’s done. It sounds good. Gibbs killed his parts. So did Earl Sweatshirt and Danny Brown on the guest verses.What was it about Freddie Gibbs that made you want to work with him?
It’s hard to really explain in words. I look at him as a new version of 2Pac. He does musically a lot of the stuff that I try to do as a producer. He’s capable of doing everything, but he’s interested in being original and not sounding like all the other stuff on the radio.Were you a fan of 2Pac?
I’m generally not into the really popular dudes like that, but he was good. I actually liked a lot of his older stuff – his first few albums were the best. That’s usually the case with a lot of artists. I also started working on my own music and kind of lost track of his music.Check out more over at Rolling Stone
*Side Note* Madlib has upcoming projects with Mos Def, Freddie Gibbs, and Madvillian.

A white college student from a private college goes into a poor neighborhood and volunteers four hours a week and that’s considered exemplary. [Whereas] a poor kid who lives in that community and takes care of all the kids in that neighborhood four hours every day is not seen as a volunteer.

I HATE the concept of community service that high schools and colleges use. For this exact reason. Real activism and service (that is primarily done by the oppressed out of necessity or in support of their own community) is never counted.

To be black and conscious in America is to be in a constant state of rage.

…up to 200,000 people angry with high costs and poor public services took to the streets. Protesters in Rio de Janeiro burned cars and looted buildings as police attempted to disperse them with teargas and rubber bullets. Aerial images showed thousands of people attempting to storm the congress building in Brasilia. The rallies…are some of the biggest ever seen in the country…

My ovaries, my heart!DO NOT DELETE WHEN REBLOGGING!!!!
Dear Empress,
Sweet soul there is a lot of ignorance in this world and I want to apologize in advance for all the ignorant minds you will eventually come across. Yesterday, you and I had a fabulous busy day and came home to have a nice dinner when people informed me that your pictures were stolen and circulating Instagram and Facebook. I am not writing this to you to explain ourselves to anyone because we DO NOT have the necessity of doing so, I am simply writing this for your sake. People stole your pictures and were making thoughtless remarks and commenting negatively about your outfit. Oh and they also said you were too little to be wearing make-up. That tickled me so much because it is obviously very hard to believe you are naturally just that beautiful. (:
My dear you have the most beautiful eyes and eye-lashes and according to people you also have the cutest lips and hair. A few mentioned your dress would cause perverts to desire you in disgusting ways but the sad part here is that instead of the simpletons arguing on how disgusting perverts are they want to focus on how “cute” the outfit is. That is like saying that it is a woman’s fault for being beautiful that causes men to be pigs ….0_o..does that make any sense? uhmm NO! DO NOT EVER LET MISERABLE PEOPLE HAVE ANY KIND OF EFFECT IN YOUR LIFE. I could’ve easily argued and try to defend you as many would expect but in reality there is nothing to defend. You are amazing Empress and these simpletons do not realize that one day you will be doing amazing things for this world and they will all be eating their words. I have no doubts or worries about you my beautiful heart.
Others mentioned that I am training you to be a “specific kind of woman {for the sake of not using other terms}”. Some tried suggesting I should dress you professional and once again, the simpletons do not realize that has all been done before and they do not know how versatile you are and instead get off from one outfit. You were the Statue of Liberty for crying out loud!!!{INSERT LAUGH HERE} [oh these simpletons!]
Any how dear, I will not take these pictures down because I am 100% confident in my parenting and in your soul that nothing will ever damage or change that. Especially not clueless minds. If at any point in your life any of your pictures are taken out of context or fall into the wrong hands I will be right there by your side to make sure you understand and are able to disregard it all. You WILL know how much I love you and not just by words but you will always have hard evidence to prove it. You are a wonderful being that has to live with these other beings but that’s ok, one person can make a huge difference and that’s why you were placed on planet Earth.
xoxo
MOM.
Going to just leave this here. This is beautiful.I’m gonna cry. This letter is perfect.
