Nor does he carry a cell phone.. He's just that kinda dude. The chances it was him are very slim. Yes, Quasimoto and Madlib ARE the same person.. That is a fact. He (Quasimoto) does refer to Madlib (Quasimoto) in the third person.. That does not mean it was him. More likely the label rep thought.. "Hey, maybe if this guy thinks Quasimoto's actually writing him, he'll listen." Madlib is notorious for NOT using a computer to make beats.. Nor does he carry a cell phone..

In a XXL article from about 3 years ago, Madlib revealed that he and Quasimoto were one in the same. DOn't know if this helps at all, but that's what Madlib said in XXL.

i think the persons who were offended misunderstood

the message was brief but from what i can tell dude understands what youre trying to do and isnt knockin it

he just doesnt want it to implicate or incriminate him, or anyother artist involved

Considering the fact that madlib may not have cleared his samples, I understad completely wanting to cover his ass, or stones throw for that matter. The last thing I would want is for some p2p chasing lawyer to take stones and madlib out in a petty lawsuit...so, props to madlip and props to stones throw and props to Kev for being the only one here who had his head on tight enought to get what was going on to begin with. Right on bro, your work for hip hip deserves much praise.

I agree with Peter though; the discussion itself was great and is a very relevant subject. Thanks for the article John! Yeah, who ever it was, it really doesn’t matter.

That's unfortunate. But, I don't think the discussion on its own merit has gotten "out of hand." Perhaps because Madlib/Quas's name(s) were tagged as the source, it touched a nerve in some readers. Regardless of the source, it's a very relevant discussion topic. “..the issue quickly turned into a Madlib-bashing party.” – exactly. That’s unfortunate.

It probably was a label rep who sent that message. Especially if it says the person has worked with Madlib and MF Doom for 8 years and the album was written on his back porch while eating grilled cheese sandwiches and sippin' on Kool-Aid.
