    I've been playing this song religiously ever since it came out. Everything about it makes me not tired of listening to it. I could be listening to it for 1000 times and still don't want to think about skipping it. Reminds me of J Dilla's work and the way he made his beats because of the drums, the way it sounds, the vibe/ energy, and how the song/ piece is composed.

    I saw Flying Lotus at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
    He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
    I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
    The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
    When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

      I'm bored probably -
      This is called a “copy-pasta” it’s a joke. This one specifically was made years ago, if I remember correctly, it was on reddit.

    I don't know why but the song "more" wore out quicker than any other one of his songs I listen to. Like I got tired of it but switched to his other songs, it does sound amazing no doubt.
