Sagittarian Mind » Astro Profile : Madlib

November 30th, 2011 @ 3:15 pm by Sagittarian Mind

If you call yourself a “hip-hop head” and you’re not familiar with the music of Madlib, I suggest that you crawl out from under your rock and do some research. Otis Jackson, Jr. (Born October 24, 1973 in Oxnard, California) is arguably one of the most versatile, productive and hard working producers ever to lay his imprint on the game. With production for a roster that consists of the likes of Erykah Badu, Ghostface, Mos Def, Talib Kweli and the Alkaholiks (just for starters), you’ve probably been nodding your head to this man’s beats and you didn’t even realize it. 

Madlib, October 24, 1973 6:00 am, Oxnard, CA

Sun in Scorpio:

” I’m like a hermit, I’m not really doing all this mingling with people.”

” I hate standing in front of a crowd and having to show myself, I’m a background dude.”

Private, reclusive yet strikingly charismatic, Madlib lets you pry through the peephole just enough to get a glimpse of him crafting his masterpieces in the studio. He’s obsessive about his craft. However, the majority of his speaking comes through his music. As a Scorpio Sun, Madlib’s destination, a.k.a. the “skin” that he’s growing into is comprised of depth, passion, intensity and complexity. Never taking a superficial approach to his music and constantly re-making, re-molding and transforming himself under such monikers as Quasimoto and Yesterday’s New Quintet. Experiencing a continuous “new birth” of sorts.

 

Moon in Libra:

What does Madlib need to bring along with him on his journey to his Scorpionic destination? A deep seated emotional need to be creative. Harmony, melodic tones, rhythm. Employing the Libran strength of collaborating with other heavyweights such as Doom and J. Dilla(R.I.P.) on classic joint projects:

“The reason why I collaborate with MCs is that I wanna see if my style can fit with theirs or vice versa. See if we can bring something together…..I collaborate with anybody who is dope.”

 

Regarding the aforementioned comment: I’m sure it takes one to know one.
