Untitled 05/Nardis - Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Terrace Martin, Chris Dave 

Aaannnnd I'm the 1000th reply.

😀

I know so.

lmao

Also cool

Right?! Every time I see them play this I keep hoping.

I'd pay anything to be able to time travel to the studio when this song first happened!

I think Dave Chappelle showed up a lil later. . .

"I GOT 100 ON MY DASH, GOT 200 IN MY DRUM NAME IN THE GRAB bags, PUT MY BIBLE IN THE TRUNK TAAKA VODKA ON THE TOP OF MY BINOCULAR I'M DRUNK HOW COME I CAN MAKE THEM POPULAR, POP EM' WHEN I WANT SEE I'M LIVIN' WITH ANXIETY, DUCKIN' THE SOBRIETY FUCKIN' UP THE SYSTEM I AIN'T FUCKIN' WITH SOCIETY JUSTICE AIN'T FREE, THEREFORE JISTICE AIN'T ME SO I JUSTIFY HIS NAME ON OBITUARY WHY YOU WANNA SEE A GOOD MAN WITH A BROKEN HEART? ONCE UPON A TIME I USED TO GO TO CHURCH AND TALK TO GOD NOW I'M THINKIN' TO MYSELF, HOLLOW TIPS IS ALL I GOT NOW I'M DRINKIN' BY MYSELF, AT THE INTERSECTION, PARKED WATCH YOU WHEN YOU WALK INSIDE YOUR HOUSE YOU THREW YOUR BRIEFCASE ALL ON THECOUCH I PLAN ON CREEPING THROUGH YOUR FUCKIN' DOOR AND BLOWIN' OUT EVERY PIECE OF YOUR BRAIN UNTIL YOUR SON JUMP IN YOURARMS CUT ON THE ENGINE, THEN SPED OFF IN THE RAIN, I'M GONE"

Obnoxious Kool-Aid I’m getting goosebumps thinking about this

1000%!! Kendrick lucked out.

@@strokesoco somewhat luck, but more importantly, talent recognizes talent. Good Kid Maad City is also an amazing album. it's obvious that these guys recognized and were drawn to Kendrick's talent.

@@carstarsarstenstesenn Oh god absolutely. Especially by the time they were making TPaB. Kendrick is something special.

😅

YES LAWD!

and the best b-side album ever

What album is that, good sir? I truly am intrigued

@@mammontustado9680 Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly

@@harry_mair AND Untitled Unmastered, the B-side

Hahaha right??

I’ve never clicked on a video so fast lol

I swear!

Agustin Fernandez they are shedding as we musicians call it. It’s all love for the most part. You see a cat you know that can play too you pass the instrument...❤️

Agustin Fernandez the bassist? That's Derrick Hodge

Lucas Steinberger lmao ikr

THEY were playing on thundercat's song with kenny after all

That bass player (Derrick Hodge) is an absolute monster in his own right too.

CHRIS DAVE

Chris Dave is one of the most influential cats there is

@@MrOhmygoditsben Yeah I have researched him since my post he has a dope tiny desk that come out but yeah theres a group of influential musicians of our era and he is definitely one of them!

A D - Chris DADDY Dave

Chris Dave young foo ass

100%!

Powerhouse collective..can we have a tour and album....pretty please

Thundercat be like, "Hold my blunt."

i think they are already at the forefront xD

Absolutely--I keep telling folks this.

Seriously.

Fuck you acknowledge the amount of work he’s actively doing and how much thinking it requires to play at that level.

@@dylanmiller1140 Actually quite the opposite happens when you solo. When you're not thinking about it it's actually better than putting thought into your playing.

@@dylanmiller1140 "You've got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail." - Charlie Parker

Thomas Grady and its facts too

I got major stankface when he started soloing out 💯💯💯

Vuk Aleksic his response was exactly how I feel every time i hear Thundercat music. my. god

GodivaDiva11 lmao I realized Cam Graves came in the middle of the song to ask Robert sth (around 4:30), almost as funny

id react the same way to man dudes an amazing artist

Another great bassplayer just left: Derrick Hodge..........

lol that wasn't Cam that was some dude who worked at the venue.

Dude I feel this deeply. My absolute favorite jazz venue in Los Angeles (blue whale) just closed permanently and I am fucking CRUSHED. I hope your venue can survive. Check out all my videos...there's so much good stuff like this including many more from this night. Search my videos for "virgil" to bring those up.

Jazz is not effortless . It’s not just talent. It’s work . It’s hard work and it’s always diminished with this type of banter. I understand your statement as it relates to your feelings but the work of art that jazz is is very very complex.

@@Crayton10 I apologize if my wording was unclear. I did not mean that this comes naturally to the players because obviously it takes a lot of knowledge and hard work. I only meant that they make what they do look easy, but obviously it's only through years of hard work that they get to that point. I'm happy to edit my original comment to provide that clarification if needed.

Free Man totally agree with you. Derrick Hodge has some serious skills on the bass & a great cat also Met him at Smalls Jazz Club years ago

I mean Thundercat is the bassist on the track, so why not let the original play instead of the cover

Both Derrick Hodge and Thundercat are KILLERS on the Bass. In their own different ways.

straight up, and he is right there with Thundercat..... humble, beautiful vibes.

he's so great

Hear, hear. I love it.

Yeah, Mr. Hodge. ❤

Lexus THUPRMND they did !!!!!!!!!!

Check out R=R=Now.. Kamasi, Steve & Chris aren't there but it's still an awesome cast

No Kamasi....

If were being technical "to pimp a butterfly" is there album musically since there the musician's for it

@@keathmueller7826 u crazy... Kamasi is a genius

She is fly as fuck.

Although, I swear she's filming Thundercat's shoes!

Absolutely!

Nothin like having natural Sista's around...heck SisTa's period...they always bring that thing..to da thang!😘

Is that Esperanza S?

Absolutely. It's so fun watching the realization dawn on Terrace's face. At first he's like "? What are they cheering for specifically in this part of the song?" and then he hears something different going on with the bass. So good.

Awwww that's sweet. I bet he thinks about Austin often. RIP.

Derrick plays the shit out of a bass.

Casually just slip in there. 8)

I love how Hodge immediately changes the settings to add punch and match Thundercat's style

ok it's official those two need to do a stand off lmao

Is Hodge one of the idiots standing on the side of the stage... go somewhere else, I don't care if you're a pretty young lady bopping to the drummer's beat.

@@RedAlEarttDramaMeanWhoDat it’s like you had to go looking for something negative to say about the video, when there are so many more positive things that you could say.

alot of the guys in this lineup are on the original track fam. its not even really a cover.

That's one of my very favorite parts. :)

I had to scroll too far to see this🤣🤣🤣

Hell yeah dude! Glad you finally clicked on it. :)

Also gotta love Chris “D.” Dave🔥🥁🙌🏾

Man, my absolute pleasure. Every time people bitch to "put your phone down and enjoy the experience; you're never gonna watch that video again..." I remember how I've re-watched my jazz videos countless times and I'm so glad I was able to capture these moments for posterity. If you haven't looked already, I have multiple videos from this night. If you search youtube for "strokesoco virgil" they should all come up.

A classic

And no one missed a beat, during the whole conversation. Phenomenal

People always complain about us who record the shows on our phones - "you're never going to watch this again, cmon!" Screw that, I've personally watched this dozens of times since I uploaded it. I'm so glad I recorded it.

​@@strokesocoyoure not in the moment cuz u busy tryin to record right. Dont get me wrong, thank you, cuz i aint doin that shit. I have no photos or videos of shows I go to cuz I want to be lost in the music. I wont talk to people I go wit, and dont go wit people who talk lol

That's what he did in one of the most recent videos I just posted! With Glasper, Herbie, and more.

I found it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-64ZgSECmtd4.html

They did, it's called To Pimp A Butterfly

Right?!

Ethan May I think they'd be proud

Ethan May imagine Herbie also.

Oh yea.

Mr. Smiley you can see Terrace on tour with Herbie this summer!

for real....

the audio on this rivals any very expensive mic this audio is phenomenal it has to make anyone with a collection of pricey mics wonder why you just can't ask for better audio than this it's utterly sic

its probably one of the mics that attaches to the iphone

strokesoco said it was just the phone

Literally just my iphone, no attachments whatsoever. I think it must have been a combo of the phone and standing right in front of the speaker. And a good sound mix over the PA I guess.

Heavy af, right? How are you affiliated with these guys? So glad we got to experience such a historic moment.

You and me both, dude. All the damn time.

Seconded

I try to record these shows for exactly this type of response. It's for posterity. People need to see it. It's great in the moment but it needs to live on.

strokesoco it’s so validating that you’re doing this because it is pure substance. That is incredibly rare. I love kendrick lamar and untitled 05 was already one of if not my favorite hip hop songs. Coming across this for the first time validated so many things that go beyond music. Not that this alone is the ultimate validation because there have been plenty of things. This just sticks out to me because of how many connections it has for me and with things beyond myself. Getting back to kendrick, i love him but I think it’s clear the majority of his fans aren’t really there for the pure substance. It’s not that black and white with people usually so I am generalizing of course but you sort of have to. Seeing these guys... Dave Chapelle, the musicians themselves, all of it, with this song and the way they played it. It speaks to that truth of a deeper purer reality with more substance beyond all of the superficial that in my personal journey has shown to pervade every part of my immediate surroundings as well as society as a whole. I hope this doesn’t just sound like nonsense to you but yeah, I was just tearing up listening to this reflecting on Dwyane Wade (amazing human and basketball player who’s retiring and he’s part of these connections for me) and just reflecting on certain things in my life right now, how much self criticism and hate seems to be so tied to me and such and I was just tearing up a bit which I’m not an emotional person and I don’t think I’m capable of fully crying lol because I haven’t done it since I was 12 or so but every once in a while I get these moments of deep clarity and connection to these things and tonight was a pretty strong one, so yeah I really mean it when I say this is powerful to me. Thank you.

If you search my videos for "Virgil" you'll find like five more from this night!

@@strokesoco I've seen them all, amazing!

Right?!

same. this video too legendary. one of my fave kdot songs too

lol

Seriously, I come back to this often.

I just love watching everyone waiting for Terrace to see that Stephen hopped on bass.

strokesoco true true. But did you see terrace's face? He had a look like, "hold up. That is NOT the guy who was just on bass.." you can kinda tell he knew it was thundercat without even lookin

He definitely recognized the sound, for sure. I love when everyone cheers and Terrace thinks they're just really feeling the song hahaha. I watch that part over and over. It's so genuine.

strokesoco 😂😂😂 i know it! I caught that like the first time I saw it and was cracking up laughing. Cause he was really feelin himself. It was great music, no doubt, but that love was for thundercat. I'm surprised they all don't get that much love when they kill a verse though because it's all great music
