- Nardwuar vs. Questlove (2013) - 46 MIN Version! This all happened at Killjoy Barbers in Vancouver, BC, Canada! / nardwuar Thanks to Kris Krug for the photos & Justin Leigh & Jay Swing for the extra footage!
Questlove's responses are the best.
"I bet you could find Bin Laden 10 years before we did" BAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂
"I'm not going to get caught. he can pull Michael Jackson back from the dead, I'm not" lmao
He’s all of us
LMFAO
I missed that! Can someone give me a timestamp?
@@taongpuno at around 34:24
I don't see why Nardwuar isn't given a Pulitzer, a BET and induction into the RnR Hall of Fame.
Because he doesn't care about some "celeb" sucking a dick or rotten politicians which is what the "media" wants to promote. He's wholesome and for everyone. People don't get Pulitzers for wholesome content now-a-days... Or ever really
@@agrugaming5066 Ah, yes, because Kendrick Lamar never got a Pulitzer. Oh, wait.
word
Nardwuar at the BETs would be golden
He got a place on the Vancouver music walk of fame but yea he should be in rnr for real.
This is a clash of the titans of people who LOVE music history. And I loved every damned minute of the interview.
Questlove's expressions are so wonderfully unrehearsed and genuine.
I agree
I've watched this interview numerous times just to hear Questlove's laugh, and the interview's flow.
ben m pas tegen gekomen, en gelijk alle nardwuar intervieuws afgegaan......geweldig
I took screen shots of all the records and that one poster towards the beginning and looking them up and making a Playlist. A lot of great music
@@oscarinacan you mind if you share that playlist to the lazy fucks like me?
45 minutes of me smiling
mike amen brother. right there with ya
Lol. Respect & love from Australia
mike my face hurts! lol
Exactly.
Same
Quest needs to get Nardwuar booked on the Tonight Show...
Holy shit that’d be so surreal
Nardwuar vs. Jimmy Fallon as well
Brooo that’d be amazing
The interviewer being interviewed... Idk if nardwaur could handle it 😶🤯
No!
This isn’t just an interview, it’s a history lesson. I need more QuestNard interviews
check out the What Had Happened Was podcast where Open Mike Eagle interviews him!
"I live for giving joy" god damn, was holding back the tears, but that just hit me right there. So much love for this whole interview.
Yeah. The guy has Love in his name.
Best interview ever.
I also liked that Questlove actually talked and answered the questions unlike many others who just are overwhelmed and in awe.
His answers were in depth.
Yes, Questlove actually educated me about things that I didn’t know existed. This is peak journalism.
My favourite Nardwuar interview
Is it still your favorite? :)
@@STG_GetNerded it's mine
Quest is a music encyclopedia and nard manages to shock him. Dont get on nards bad side lmao he will find out everything
😂❤
Nuarwuar interviews rally open my eyes to how rich the history of rap and hip hop are and how there's so much meaning and connections behind artists and how they present themselves.
I completely agree. It really reveals the roots and shows how connected everything is.
me to
The amazing thing about Nardwuar is he is so serious man. Like no bullshit, he is serious with all this. This man is dedicated to his art. Questlove be crackin up, being corny, Nardwuar just has a steely eyed demeanor. He lives for this man. We need to make a robot copy of him so his knowledge is preserved for future generations
Nardwuar IS a robot.
No robot "brain" now or anytime in the future could contain Nardwaurs knowledge.... he knows all that was and will be.
@@giorgimargiani7402 nah he's too funny to be a robot
@@-Teague- it’s all programming G

31:44 That... That hit me hard
Damn his eyes poppin out of their sockets for the 4th one
I love how at only 0:48 seconds he was already shocked by the first "jackpot moment" but ended up being continually surprised throughout the interview
Hey! Questlove is in the house
Questlove you not in the house
He's jammin on the one!!
Questlove....I'm your dad
Imperial Repository questloves not in the house
Questlove you're not in the house, you're no where
I'm actually close to breaking out into tears right now, this is one of the most beautiful things I've seen so far.
Questloves reactions are pure joy and admiration, it's honestly too much for me
"I sucker punched the shit out of my mom."
I don't understand how this doesn't have millions of views, this is one of the greatest hip hop interviews in history.
Fun Fact: In an interview, Questlove recalls watching the Grammy awards with his father as a child. It was the year in which one of the legendary Marsalis brothers did exceptionally well winning in multiple categories. I can't recall who it was but they ended their acceptance speech by saying, "and last but not least, I'd like to thank my father for making me practice playing my instrument for 5 hours a day." Questlove said his dad turned around, looked at him and said, "go downstairs and practice playing the drums." This constant practice his father made him undertake was apparently a little upsetting to a young Questlove because he, and I quote, "sure wanted to watch some (80's sitcom) "Different Strokes." lol.
When Nard gave him the Rocktober zine, Quest was thiiiis close to tearing up, and so was I seeing such a genuine reaction. Why Nardwaur hasn’t had a prime time interview show on national television for the last three decades is beyond me
Compare Nards early interviews with Punk bands and his later hip hop interviews with Pharrel and Quest here and snoop of course. What a difference between the two interviewees and How the hip hop individuals react with such joy and genuine excitement to his crazy references and research and in turn how much they treat him with respect and get into the interview. Compared to the punk guys who treat him like shit and just want to leave. I can't help but think the genre has a big part in that difference. Hip hop being all about searching through the past, through the crate, for old records and old sounds and making them new and your own and it's so self referential, it's like they see what Nards is trying to do and they respect him for it. He's digging through the crates too and it turns into this awesome history lesson.
that's actually a pretty interesting point. i've always been big into hip hop and black music and always took a lot of the focus on history and culture for granted. for these fellas not just the roots, but a lot of the local, esoteric music communities are an essential part their experience, constantly passing down the knowledge and mulling over different ideas, washing across clubs and underground societies, bringing in fresh content. i guess because rock tends to be less about stylistics and familiarity as much as content/the avant-garde, it's ironically a more narcissistic genre than hip hop music. Kanye West is kind of an incorrigible cunt in hip hop, but i wonder if he's just another self-absorbed messianic figure in rock.
I don't think that has anything to do with it. The later indie and punk bands he interviews are more respectful because they know who's interviewing them as opposed to the bands and artists that aren't familiar with Nard's work. Take the indie and punk bands which I specifically mention, you will be pressed to find more pretentious students of music than the guys that spend all their time listening to indie records. Watch his Nirvana interview, Cobain fancies his taste in music very openly and many bands have those same kind of people. They "dig into the crates" too and are kind of stereotyped for being that way. I think it comes down to their personalities and a lot of bands take themselves way too fucking seriously, but I could say the same about some of the rappers Nard has interviewed that try to be tough on camera. The younger guys are much more chill, goes for bands or artists of any genre period
Ian Mackeye was completely respectful
Steam Junky he didn't do da Doot doo doe!
I think a big part of it is that a lot of punk bands, particularly back when punk/pop-punk had become mainstream, were on the back foot in a lot of interviews (especially ones conducted by random independent guys).
I think a lot of punk bands, upon hearing this guy pull up a bunch of older artists, and even the members of said band's older, more obscure work, would immediately jump to the conclusion that the next few questions would be grilling them on not being really punk, or having sold out - which is where a lot of those types of interviews would end up going.
Then there's the fact that a lot of punk bands back in the day didn't want to do interviews in the first place - partially because of what I just said, partially because some seemed to view it as music industry bullshit that their managers talked them into (see: Henry Rollins intimidating that Maximum Rock N' Roll kid and then saying "I think this is selling out. I think doing interviews is selling out").
There's very little stigma in hip hop regarding self-promotion, being successful, and showing genuine enthusiasm for all types of music (not just the /right/ kind of music), so it means a lot of the artists are far more open in interviews.
Now that punk is less mainstream, and it no longer matters what's cool in the scene (because the scene isn't cool anymore) - punk bands tend to be far more chill about that sort of thing.
Both Nardwaur & Quest Love need to write a book and start a hip hop podcast filled with both new and old hip hop culture filled with live music sets from old and new artists, interviews in and out of studio, even do live interviews & a show in different cities. Like the jimmy Fallon show but with these two guys and others.
PS
Questlove in studio like Jimmy Fallon and Nardwaur out on assignment.
Simeon Costa this is absolutely the greatest idea I've ever heard.
Replace Jimmy with Nard...simple solution. No one would miss that bs fake laughing buffoon.
When questlove screams im not gonna cry at 32:39, because of this amazing gift. You can just tell hes beyond shocked speechless and touched by this gift . Its when you really know hes impressed
Questlove is so humble
and he is in the house
@@ricardosousa4058 quest love you are not in the house
I love him
40:50 Questlove “you officially have stumped me”…The curl of Narwuard’s smile is priceless.
When you think you love music, Nard & Quest walk in to let you know you're a bit of a poser.
A bit? It feels like the only song I ever heard was happy birthday. These dudes could fill a library each.
Can't believe I only just discovered Nardwuar last week... how did that happen?!?!?!
Because of this the last 10 hours I've been on youtube have been fabulous!!!!
Thanks Nardwuar!!!!
He was an interviewer on MuchMusic (the Canadian version of MTV) when I was a kid and a college radio host out in Vancouver but I really hadn't paid much attention to his career over the last few decades. I recently rediscovered him on UA-cam and I'm binging on this stuff because it's great. He knows his stuff like no other.
I learned about him yesterday and ive watched like 20 hours of content
StrimbuLand (Sri N. Strimbu) yo I only discovered him 5 hours ago. Have some catching up to do
Narwaur
Same...how did I go all my life and never heard of this guy
parents woke him up at 12:45 am to watch soul train? amazing.
yeah that blew my mind
Seriously. Instill musicianship and promote creativity young and look what can happen.
Very few people have the capacity to appreciate the depths nardwuar will go. Questlove is one of them. This is an amazing conversation!
The guy behind the camera must have a strong arm i mean 45 minutes...
They got camera stands
calohtar but the camera moves alot
@@calohtar 15:49
I'd hold it forever if it meant I could be in the presence of these two humble and enthusiastic true music lovers.
Serio, Man. Shout Out To The Filmer Though
This is officially my favorite video of all time... Watched it already 10-20 times and counting...
Yep. I come back to this one when I need a lift. Beautiful interaction. Love this so much.
Surprised it don't have more watches, really.
Nardwuar please make a full-length documentary on your life work. I'm sure Netflix will fund it and everyone will watch!
I would watch the hell out of that documentary. Nard is a living legend.
He not done yet 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is the most innocent and loving and mature interview I've ever seen between two people. It's the mountain top of human behaviour.
i'd like to know that much about anything
just do your own research...
@@yomommastupid where do i even start
@@AyaDaBerry just find what you r personally interested in and find books
@@AyaDaBerry literally just go start spam googling every combination of searches u can think of, related to your interests of choice - anything even tangentially related! then, pull up a history of all the things you just searched, and re-search em all on youtube. you've now just manipulated these websites into recommending a lot more shit related to those things
@@gevu please don't take this guys advice. this is the worst method of research i've ever heard.
for the op, the method depends on the topic. google is a good start once you're done brainstorming, and you'd be surprised how many experts will respond to even the most basic questions. just remember to always consider the source and to do your own fact checking.
Gotta love Questlove. He’s such a likable and knowledgable dude.
quite possibly my favourite Nardwuar interview. lotsa cool info!
I'd say it's definitely the most enthusiastic response from the subject I've seen so far... Questlove really gets Nardwuar and shows his respect.
It takes a MAN to say “you taught me something I didn’t know thank you” especially when he’s bringing up stuff in your culture like a lot of these dudes are embarrassed to say they don’t know something but he uses it to be better
Well there goes my plans for today.
Damn though Nardwuar knows his shit, his record collection gotta be several rooms-full.
I wonder if the guy behind the camera smiles as much as we do everytime these artist are amazed by narwaurs discoveries.
He was at the beginning 😊
Two men I would really have to consider historians or the industry right there, I would pay damn good money just to see them sit, chill, share records, and talk music.. or anything really. So much damn respect every time I stumble across this.
Best Nardwuar quote, "I live to give joy"
I love how Nardwuar skips the compliments and moves on to the next question 😅
I would love to read a music book written by Questlove and Nardwuar...how can we make this happen?
Quest was genuinely stoked for the interview! Mad respect to him for playing along and staying so long. Nard shows us who the really cool people really are.
Gonna go binge THE ROOTS now. Thanks, Nard killer interview. Questlove is a joy to listen to. 🎶
What a cool and knowledgeable guy - yet another reminder that I HAVE to check out The Roots. Great interview, Nardwuar.
after you check out the roots, check out rahzel plz.
You gotta check out the Roots live in concert homey. You'll be blown the fuck away!!! Mad tight...
thrashish rahzel is dope, used to listen to when I was around 14-15 years old
the best interview I've seen of an artist. I wish interviewers would take notes and learn from this guy.
25:51 "It's like he gotta be conscious and street at the same time"
Listening to Questlove talk about hip hop is so great
Nardwuar is second to none, he is simply amazing
Narduar needs to start reconnecting long lost family members in interview form.
I cannot even express how much joy I feel when I see artists surprised by Nardwuar. He is able to facilitate an experience for these artists that connects them to some original and authentic passion for what they do. Then he films it and let’s us all share in the joy of the artist’s inspiration. Thank you Nardwuar from the bottom of my heart. You are a legend.
cured my depression and my bronchitis
Chameleonardodavinci lol
Cured my strep throat
congratulatons ;)
I think this is the best Nardwuar interview of them all!
Beautiful work here, what a nice interview.
You're Questlove, we have to know!
I feel like I could listen to these 2 talk forever. They need a podcast. These are two incredible music historians I love. Even if I only know half the references I love it.
I may only understand 30% of the references bc they are encyclopedic in their knowledge, but I’d listen to every ep of that podcast.
Nardwuar has more connections than the mafia could ever dream of having
You can really feel Quest's passion for the music and the history.
It makes me happy that Nardwuar make Questlove happy, if he just gives this stuff away, I love that it goes to whom it matters most. What a guy.
You could tell Nardwuar had Quest emotional towards the end, his voice was crackin a bit there. Nardwuar just has a crazy gift for just getting to know people
This is a genuinely beautiful video. This must have been such a rewarding interview to do
This is my favorite Nardwuar interview. It was amazing how ?uest and Nard bounced off each other.
These interviews are laced with dope. I can't stop watching! This is probably my fav so far.
i love how the roots are on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. it makes the show so much better. i love jimmy and the roots
I watch this interview at least once a month. So amazing, best Nardwuar interview, hands down.
Amazing interview. Thanks for the reupload.
I have binged your videos lately and the interviews with Quest are my favorite. He knows so much about music and appreciates it so much. His reactions are priceless
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Smile on my face the whole time. We need more of this in the world
Literally the 2 people that need to be on the ship. If I had a ticket, and they didn't, I'd hand it over. I love my life, but these people have so much more to offer. Good style, good mind, good convo and just a good time.
Well spoken Marcos! Completely agree :) much love!
amazing interview. i love listening to people who are so passionate about the history of their craft. honestly i would completely support a podcast of questlove just chatting about the history of philly hip hop. such an interesting and intelligent dude.
Quest lives and breathes music; he’s such an immensely talented musician. Fantastic interview!
I keep coming to this episode over and over again.. Perhaps my favorite of all nard interviews. Few musicians really know music at such depths as those two. Considering their chemistry shrines off with positivity, discussing stuff that allures both of those individuals is eagerly exciting to watch and hear. I guess, it is the reason where the hell 46 minutes went, went like seconds, tbh. Need more of these.
17:36 let me get someone the way Questlove looks at the record
This has to be one of Nardwuar most wholesome interviews!! Two very humble guys that love music!! It doesn't get better then this!!!
the way his eyes widen at 17:13 is priceless
I need to see a 2023 interview, this was so good
I just learned so much hip/hop history from this single interview, incredible stuff
Nardwuar could be a famous rapper with all the street and music cred he has from his interviews over the years.
He’s a legend for sure.
I'm so glad this video exists
Questlove and Pharrell are such music libraries, specially Hip Hop! 🙌👏
this interview is absolutely amazing; youre like an artist whisperer if such a thing exists ahaha
Gosh, this is such a lovely interview
How am I just now discovering Nardwuar? This is the coolest thing I've found during quarantine! Bet none if you expected a comment like this 2 years ago.
Best interview ever.... Please go through and look at all the tracks Nardwuar and Questlove discuss. This will change your music
this is the best interview. questlove gives really good replies and lots of info. love it so much.
I've met him before. I was his bellman in San Diego years back. Maybe '06. He's a cool dude. We talked about Cody Chestnutt and this show of his I saw in Dallas at the Gypsy Tearoom. He tips well.
Cody is the man.
Nardwuar didn’t take Questlove for a trip down memory lane, he gave him the guided tour 😂
These interviews never get old.
From an interview from Nardwuar turned into a historic class. This is why Journalist should follow his footstep.
Questlove is definitely one of my favorites drummers and an influence in my drumming ! Much love and respect! Thanks man!
This is my favourite interview. I watch it once a year.
Can't believe how late to the party I am on this amazing interview, they have such great chemistry. As a lover of music, I had to write down all these albums in my phone to search later. These two have real taste
Possibly the best Nard interview ever. These two dudes may know more shit about contemporary music than any other two people on earth lol.
“Not gonna cry!” Needs to be a sample.
Questlove is right, Nardwuar put Vancouver on the map.
Apparently, there's lots of hidden music lore from Vancouver.
This might be Nardwuar's finest work. My goodness. I've watched this half a dozen times.
Even if you don’t really know who questlove truly is
It’s fun watching Nardwuar giving gifts for 45 minutes
It makes them both happy and it’s nice...
This is what a Nardwuar interview is supposed to be
Great interview.
It's like opening xmas presents.
Nostalgic.
