I just found this pretty interesting interview (click) of Flying Lotus by Hanna from Hearty Magazine. I enjoyed reading it, so i advice you to go and read it.

Extract:

Are you producing for other people?

I’m trying to extend my reach a little bit—trying to work with other folks. But I do feel like my productions are like little children. I don’t wanna leave my kids with the wrong folks. Also I’m really concerned with vocals sometimes they give me stuff and its like, ‘I wasn’t even on this tip when I was making this tune.’ Which is sometimes great, but a lot of times I find it to be really negative and dark. I don’t really want my music going in that direction. Like even if it sounds like it’s that, there is more to it. I don’t want all that killing people and shit in my music.

That sounds pretty dark.

Well you know it’s kind of accepted now.

You think it is?

Yeah pretty much. Everyone loves 50 Cent, everyone is on that shit, that shit’s dark. Like a lot of the lyrics that I hear in hip hop are negative, that’s just the truth. I just want to work with people that are trying to do good and send out good vibrations on this earth. Seriously, there are enough negative forces out there. Even if they’re not killing people its juts like people who are making music that like kills culture and killing art and the idea of art and the idea of progression. All that shit is death.
