I love watching this once a year - It grounds and confirms my musical perception. Kenny is so authentic and down to earth - He and Theo Parrish created their own kind of soul music.
Nah you weren’t paying attention if you thought this interview was drivel. Dude keeps it 💯 . Here’s what he said in my more fancy language: 1. When I spin music, I will not play banal crowd pleasers. I must remain true to myself and that means playing music that is a reflection of where I come from. I will not assimilate to make people more comfortable. 2. Sign with a major label, you sacrifice creative control. Control matters more to me than money. 3. People who insist on labeling music under a multitude of genres and sub genres miss the forest for the trees. All I care about is whether the music is good. 4. Questions about the gear you own are ridiculous. Expensive equipment doesn’t necessarily result in producing good music, creativity and drive matter far more. 5. I don’t feel the need to share everything I do with the world. Sometimes I wish to keep my art private. 6. Dance music was created by black people yet we haven’t received the artistic recognition or financial compensation we deserve. Does that still strike you as drivel?
this guy blew my mind in 2007 when he played on gilles peterson show totally blew my mfing mind and the way i look listen to music and life and attitude towards my music . kenny your the man ..
I remember in an event called canal mills in leeds i snook back stage and met him, and he told me 'it aint what u got, it what u do with what u got'... hes is own lane ... irreplaceable
I bought a vinyl single of Forevernevermore in late ‘99. I didn’t know who Moodymann was at the time, and I’m not sure why the record shop had it a few months before the “official” release date. Anyway, been a Moodymann fan ever since. He showed me how stylistically expressive House Music could actually be.
“I am not the hottest motherfucking DJ in the world. And I’m not going to play the hottest tracks in the world - but what I will do is give you the truth on them turntables"... Moodyman explores more on his music, and how Prince influenced him: daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2017/05/moodymann-and-prince
"[I] didn't want to pretend like I was a white man, or a black man, or any other race. I just wanted people to hear my music. Fuck the DJ, the talent is on the turntables."
As far as inspirations, there's nothing like beautiful black women. I don't give a fuck what nobody say. So I'm gonna have them with me. It inspires me. It's a part of my life. So I got to have them on stage at all times. If I stumble sometimes on my own stage, and I don't know what Imma gonna say, I just stumble or I could be doin' something, the band's fucked up or fucked up from shit, or I don't know where I'm at - all I need to do is turn around and look at one of these black sisters and Imma get right back on track baby, you understand?
Feedback by Havana Dub one of my fav tracks and finally found the podcast that sample is from with this message :” Some of the best musicians on this planet we prolly will never hear… unfortunately, some of the wackest producers we gon hear all the time… cause it’s all about who you know”…. *drops fucking heat Really enjoyed this interview, lots of great messages. Great musical perspective
I would not sit still if I heard 1:18:42 tune, had it on my underground cd stash, kept moodyman as special, its like more underground than alef gopher and demon midnight funk cd, more soulful, deep and inteligent in a way
New approach to electronic music he showed us. He is more organic than other cats from Detroit. Great talent and great gift for House Music!!! But who pays the girls and mother around him?? 😂

I owe my musical upbringing to this guy. From the place where absolutely no one listens to such staff - Siberia, Russia.
wow that’s beautiful
hell yeah brotha
Did u get his records there?
How are things there?
best RBMA interview ever. what a legend
+fitzjay01 fucking drivel, but I like his music
+Tom Edwards What's drivel?
eh... debatable. i thought it was absolutely horrible.

I like to rewatch this interview a few times a year when I need to feel re-invigorated. Mooooooody

dope
Whenever I need some inspiration or a kick up the ass I come to listen to KDJ.
Would love to see a fireside chat with Moodymann and Danny Brown
Comical this only has 150K views. Dude is a lesson in authenticity
this pathetic society doesn’t value such things
Moodymann changed my life!
You can hear Detroit in his music!!!

Sis getting that hair done on some 'bad ass kid moving around' shit!
The parting was the dedication.
Lol I just made a comment about the same thing above.. smdh
Hearing Moodymann in person gives his GTAO character way more personality.
"Ima tell you something, it ain't what you got, its what you do with what you have, you understand? And, it ain't you do, its how you do it."
On what min is this quote?

Check also Curtis Mayfield's "Diamond in The Back", Massive Attack's version of "Be Thankful For What You've Got", and Gabor Szabo's "Keep Smiling"
This is likely to be a Moodymann remix. The bassline is very different.
