Anderson .Paak & Bruno Mars On Blending Styles For New Music, Influences + More 

Nah he’s just putting pressure on himself

Nah. Plus the man puts out quality over quantity. A true artist. Shoutout to anderson as well

No, I think he was trying to explain that many of the songs are the same songs over and over again, in a different light. So it was dark for a minute, meaning there was no real inspiration till .paak stepped into the studio.

Because he works on each song for “2 years”😂😂

No cap

oh man that’d be great

YEEESSSSS!!!!! 👏🏽😍

Omg yesssss!

.Paak's Tiny Desk is sill my favourite.

😭😭😭Definitely

He's already there Queen!

I SAID THE SAME THING!!!! THEY ACTING LIKE THEY INTERVIEWING LITTLE NAS X OR SOMEBODY SMH

Your comment should have over a million likes 👍🏿

Bruno is already a legend

Facts. He’s nearing legendary status and he’s in his 30’s

The Sade effect

Like Prince, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie

Yaaaasssssssss

he lets the anticipation simmer.... i bet hes got a bunch of albums ready to go posthumously like prince. one can dream

And thts what happened lol

@kittyrandomvd x I was about to say the same lol

Right I had to click to make sure it was actually him

@kittyrandomvd x True🤣 I was about to say since when

He does interviews, just not TBC - with CTG

CTG and Yee were upset that Bruno didn't stop by TBC to promote the free concert he did at The Apollo.

Understand me. So fye!!

This is such a breath of air compared to what’s out there now!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰

AND they have the legendary BOOTZILLA!! Bootsy Collins!!

Oh the album BEEN done. We just about to hear it

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I said it before & I'll say it again... If there's any good that comes from this terrible pandemic is that it'll force a lot of truly talented artist to slow down a bit & focus on creating some really great music...!!!

Check out acts like Durand Jones and the indications, Bobby Oroza and Lee fields all these cars are inspired by the OG’z.

Please Lord

They will for sure!

For sure!!! Taking vocal lessons and learning theory imma be part of this movement ⛽️

definitely agree they will be legends

Up and coming? He's got multiple albums

@@BluEx22329 he's unknown to alot of people

@@mallerysmith8434 I've never heard of Anderson Paak until Silk Sonic. I looked him up and now I'm a fan. Love them together and hope they make many albums together.

@@donnafable-balmir209 I've also never heard of him until Leave the Door Open played. People who knew him before want to pretend he's as big as Bruno? No way.

Facts. When I was in the car listening to the live broadcast I was trying to decipher who was who at first.

Forreal. I listened without watching the video and I didn’t know who was talking lol

@@Bepeze same with me! I had to keep glancing at the screen like wait which one is this?

🤣🤣🤣 truth

Someone said he sounds like Bruno in this song..and i definitely can hear it.. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7jR65jnUyvA.html

such a timeless combo, they are. it's like, ketchup and mustard. or bread and butter. or peanut butter and jelly.

They are both hilarious

Vonte I was thinking the same 😄😄😄

I seee you're stuck in high school...

@@CRAETION_ g

Imagine if it happened

both great

Bruno absolutely washes The Weeknd.

@@brandonpryormusic No the weeknd got bangers

I like both.

That’s cool, are you still in contact with them (the family)

Bruno and his siblings posted a lot of videos and recordings of their mother (Bernadette) on Mother's Day and I was amazed at how beautiful her voice was. I had never seen or heard the videos before and WOW. Had you ever heard her sing live?

@@heatheroneill926 Yes! Absolutely! She was as beautiful in spirit as her beautiful voice!

@@JaceHarnage What amazing memories you must have. Thank you for sharing. XOXO

So cute and a blessed experience I'm sure to be able to see a budding star 🌟

He got Phil Lawrence tho lol

@@adorahenderson55 Everyone has someone, but has Bruno Mars ever seemed this vibrant before lol?

@@georgebanks3488 You know what? You right. His skin glowing and shit lol with Anderson

@@adorahenderson55 lmao might as well be 🤣

@@adorahenderson55 I think the pieces are falling together now. Phil has not been together with Bruno or the hooligans ever since he exited the 24k shows. Maybe it’s a reach but that could have definitely made him feel a bit down

It's all white people telling black people what they should be offended by, like sit tf down

Factual statement

@@kaligisee nah, it was a black woman who got the conversation going in high gear. What you're saying is partially true but you gotta also acknowledge the black people that are just mad at everyone and pretend it's for the culture.

It’s not like there aren’t non-black soul artists who have done it well (and authentically). Amy Winehouse, Dusty Springfield, Bee Gees come to mind.

I think it has more so to do with how creativity is cultivated in the Black American community. Personally, I think bruno is talented but I don’t see him as a ground breaking artist, a lot of his music don’t scream innovative, just rehashed samples that you can dance to. Just my opinion.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Drizzle some hunny 🧈🍯 in there.🙂

All that cocaine burn...ha

everytime i listen to it i think about that!! like the sound 🤩🤩 the lyrics ☠️🖤 amazing

Same

Agreed one of my faves

!!!! Agreed !!!!

Agreed

Not really...just Do You & keep it moving.

I agree. The Apple Music interviewer did a much better job interviewing Anderson and Bruno. Stickley music. No dumb shit.

that's because we live in a world where people without any talent try to control everything you say, trying to get you into their level, and it's boring as hell

@@augustosarmentodeoliveira3023 too true. They want to humble them by ridiculing them publicly, when it's them that need the humbling.

@@veroniquefaison yeah i saw that interview. That guy seem like he's a musician himself. He sound like he knew what he was talking about. Bringing up different keys, drum styles and stuff

I can hear him saying it, "ooh y'all sound like silk baby!"

It’s makes a lot of sense when you think about it. The thing most people say when they first hear Leave The Door Open is how smooth it is. Smooth like silk 😂

I always that's Bruno was the silk and anderson was the sonic

ooooh! that's silky baybeeee!! - Bootsy

Powerful like a Sonic Boom, but somehow still Silky Smooth!!!!

It’s actually more interesting to get real answers to real questions than just fawn over people.

Agree.

Agree 💯💯

Respect to him for showing his humanity in this interview

Bruno's not doubting himself, he's on his guard becuz CTG always gives him a hard time, he has never liked Bruno and always tried to test him. That's why you see Anderson has his back

@@yutoob6181 Agree. CTG is an a-hole and always tried to come for Bruno

Even bruon mars starts. to doubt himelf it bud the konw froward he si once aging sm moving foreward he is once

🤣🤣🤣 I cant un see it now

LMFAOOOOO bro why you say this they definitely be in Miami Beach undercover

🤣🤣🤣

Giving us Miami Vice tease

Hey hey papi hey hey🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have always loved Bruno and this new collaboration is outstanding!!!

That's true and they have the Legend Bootsy Collins on it too!!

Chris brown can learn from these two

@@excaliber8713 he can learn all he wants but just doesn’t have the musical talent as these two. He can dance his ass off though and does have a good voice. He fell off.

@@ERizzo5 he been fell off

Charlemagne is just a hater! Can't stand him and his negative ass😑

Charlemagne appears arrogant and confrontational, damn! Smh

@@michellepacheco1187 ... he doesn't just appear... he is.. lmao

@@rellyv6136 Facts! Can’t stand him!

They are BOTH geniuses. Don't discount Anderson. Paak.

He’s “paying homage” but the artists he’s emulating never get credit whether it be awards or financial benefits

Talent is talent regardless of color.He's not holding any black artist back.

Yeah I don’t understand why people are trying to project this narrative that he’s a vulture?? All I see is someone who’s passionate about that era of music and he ALWAYS says who he’s inspired by. Even having someone like Bootsy Collins working with him shows that the OGs respect his passion for that era. It’s not like he’s going around saying he created this sound. I feel like people are just complaining to complain at this point

Tyler Handsome that's not his problem tho

@@tylerhandsome7344 uh...Michael Jackson got plenty of credit, is hailed the king of pop, and he has 13 Grammys, Babyface gets plenty of credit, and has 11 Grammys, James Brown gets credit and is called The Godfather of soul and has 3 Grammys, Stevie Wonder gets plenty of credit, considered one off the greats and has 25 Grammys. And there was FAR more crazy competition back in the days. These were the influences Bruno spoke of in this interview, and these guys got credit and awards. Even if those greats don’t get as much as they should, why is Bruno wrong for being influenced by them, making great music due to his influences, and constantly paying homage to who influenced him? Even black rappers now are getting way more credit and awards/money than those that came before them. The music is becoming way more mainstream. And what about all the Filipino artists who don’t get any spins in America? And you do know that plenty of the R&B classics we know and love by black artists were written and produced by even white guys right? Look up David Foster and Rod Temperton. These guys have written huge hits for Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Tony Braxton, Heatwave, Earth Wind and Fire, Brandy, Monica, Mariah Carey, Destiny’s Child, and many more. Don’t forget that Bruno is doing his writing, producing, playing instruments, and has been doing so for many in the industry for years before we even knew him as an artist. He’s given to R&B, not just taken. People love his music, and he makes them happy, and he’s not a cultural appropriator trying to pass the music off as his own. What is he doing wrong? Are you saying he should stop making music, or should he only make Filipino music and Reggaeton?

Facts. Both theses 2 are gems that we need to appreciate while we have them here right now

Just because he doesn't have malicious intent that doesn't mean he's not a cultural appropriator. I think most of us can agree that Bruno Mars is talented, but he still benefits from black culture from being a non black poc.

@@missyd1215 pfft

@@missyd1215 I guess you think Venus and Serena are culture vultures too huh? How about Wu-Tang Clan? Tiger Woods, Big Pun, Fat Joe, Eminem?

@@tonytforney5226 I'm not sure exactly what you're referencing when you're talking about venus and serena or wutang clan and how that relates to cultural appropriation. I think people assume that people who appropriate another person's culture there is a malicious motivation behind it or one doesnt admire that person's culture when they appropriate. All I'm saying is just because bruno Mars has outwardly expressed how much he admires black culture doesnt exempt him from being a cultural appropriator/culture vulture.

I would stop addressing it if I were him. He's said all that needs to be said. He pays homage, gives acknowledgement and thanks to those who have inspired him. In a world if "hits," "likes," "followers," etc, some of those in the so-called "woke" culture are pushing certain narratives in order to create a viral moment that has no substance and makes no sense.

Not even a necessary question

If Cardi B is black how is Bruno not? Makes no sense…..they are Afro Latinos

I just don't understand what kind of music people expect him to make

Agreed. He definitely is respectful to the culture and only adding to it. A lot of people don’t have smoke for the true gentrifiers

because charlemagne is only there for commentary and entertainment.

It’s intentional. He likes to get a rise out of people.

Lol his asst is getting firreeeeeddddd

Bruno has a girlfriend from like ten years so far. He didn’t know that either. Don’t think people are just biased against anderson

Yeah Yee doesn’t get enough credit for that.

😂😂

Yep

Actually he also produced not only co wrote Mirror,Young Wild and Free,Billionaire,Nothing On You,Fvck You,Lighters(co produced with Em),All I Ask

Me too! I'm 77, heard Leave the Door Open at the Grammy Awards, have been obsessed with it ever since -- I must play it 5 times a day (the Grammy version vs. the official release version).

Shits coming back baby.

Im 15 but the vibe from Silk Sonic is out of this world

I’m a youngster at 59! But, for sure, these two are just wonderful. Authentic old time soul, yet still sounding fresh and innovative. They both SINGGGGGGG! Love them

Well damn-🧍🏾‍♀️

Most Artist does

I can't think of any of the greats who didn't tbh lol😂

He does . He's a perfectionist

@@kurlykels11 True

I wish he doesn't because it puts a lot of pressure on oneself. He does look tired.

Bruno hardly gives any interviews.

Bruno was here years ago

But they act like he comes through everyday

🤣 facts

Lol

😂

😂😂😂probably 4 songs and 7 intros 😂😂

I'm guessing about 6 interludes 😂

Bruno Mars, Are Amazing, perfect, Person. He Are Amazing he Could do anything that Some people's Can't do. Keep up the great work Bruno Mars. My Brother. Good Luck .

Awesome

He’s gonna struggle to top 24k

Definitely broke the ice lol

Yes! That was so sweet! You can see they have an awesome friendship 😌🥰💞 Both extremely talented.....beautifully blending their gifts 😍🤩🔥

Agreed!!

Yes luv me some Anderson!

There were a lot of questions left for either one of them to answer, seems like Anderson would rather let Bruno take the bulk of the questions. He's done it in other interviews as well.

@@JakeLewisReal Yeah I think it’s on purpose, too. Bruno has a lot more experience with these kinds of interviews and I’m sure both are aware that being the bigger star, Bruno would be the target of most of the questions

so true.

And cuz those vocals are silky smooth!🔥🔥🔥

@@Canela927 definitely that too!🔥

😁

@Shashwat mishra right!!!!

The Hedgehog ?

Those tickets $$$$ always expensive too

@@ccr6088 damm that Vegas concert was almost 4 years ago. best concert I’ve ever been to. got those tickets super early so it wasn’t too expensive

@@ccr6088 went in 2019 and it was amazing ✨

Not Beyonce

False.

@@mim4371 I’ll concede to that. Gotta put some respect on Beyoncé’s name 💯.

@Blonde girls Are dumb you can definitely make a strong argument for the Weeknd. Big fan of his as a Toronto native myself. One helluva singer.

My money is on Bruno Mars over The Weekend.

FACTS!!!!!

Amen!❤

amen

For real, as long as the music is good that is what I care about

There are soulful artists. They just don’t get mainstream recognition. Anthony Hamilton has always been that soulful. There’s also PJ Morton.

@@melbuck194 Thank you M. PLEASE school these ppl.

Thank you bro.

Back to you.

IT WAS TERRIBLE SMH

@@miacumberbatch3344 yup.. you got that right bro

Cause he’s not a cultural appropriator anyways don’t matter what he said he still would’ve been correct

Agreed. That was such a brilliant response.

What min?

Agreed! The "looked in the mirror" part was hilarious.

@zak Bruno is of Puerto Rican (which includes black/African) and Filipino heritage. :)

You're NOT a fan of Bruno?????

@kittyrandomvd x when he first came out none of y’all was listening for his shit stop lying ..

Don't know why everything has to be preferenced with, "I'm not really a Bruno Mars fan", but...🙄

@@I87tv yeah I didn’t realize a lot of people like his music as much as I do until like last year bc I been listening to him since his career first launched in 2010

At one point, mainstream music got so bad that i was convinced that their will to cancel good music definitely trumped their will to make money. There definitely has to be an agenda to kill genuine creativity. The people cant be that damn brainwashed to not throw some dollars on some hot shit like this

@@dn30001 That's a little dramatic lol, mainstream music is always the most watered down version of what is creative. They simplify it to make it more palatable so they can sell. It's not a conspiracy, just capitalism leaving its mark on art.

@@cl20999 i halfway agree with you.... too much evidence in hip hop, alone, over the years that proves otherwise

@@dn30001 That stuff makes money though. Most fans will say Black Thought is one of the best emcees of all time but the album plays/sales don't show that support, instead they listen to something more commercial. The average fan tends to look for the lowest common denominator and that's what blows up.

Agreed, same folks cosign 6ix9ine type dudes and giving Justin Bieber a N pass..smh.

That's the world we love no matter how good you do it won't please everyone people will find something negative to say unfortunately
