To be fair, I don’t think Madlib thinks folks are too basic to “get” his weird self; he just doesn’t like talking to strangers.

From what I’ve read, he’s a normal dude around his friends.

I’m really curious to know how these interviews happen. Is Egon or some other person encouraging him to do press when he doesn’t want to?

Is he afraid/too nice to tell writers/media outlets “no” so he says "yes," anyway?
