Holy God. Can we have a whole album of Rob, Esperanza and Q-Tip?
Im with you on that!
Ikr
I know, right?!! That would be so dope!
I second that emotion.
From your mouth to God's ear. In whatever language He pleases. Beautiful.
Hearing Qtip's voice is like receiving a phone call from a childhood friend. Soothing music in these troubled times.
If only people in Ukraine could hear this..it's soothing and so peaceful!
NEVER BETTER SAID................ JEEZ!
Brilliant. This comment is brilliant. I love Q-Tip…my children love him too.
Yes!! And he's singing too, which for me is a treat. I love Q-Tip's voice in any way, shape, or form!!
Man listennnn….whew!✊🏿
Not just because it's French, but I get a "Les Nubians" french-soul vibe here. So dope, so fresh! With Q-Tip and the Queen of Bass, Esperanza? Yassssssssss!! Robert, you did it again! Out the ballpark with a rocket on it's tail!!! :>))
YEEESSSZZZ ❤️
Same!
I also thought of Les Nubians!
Exactly ! French vibe🔥
Agreed.
Esperanza Spaulding is a powerhouse and is an unmatched musician. She uses her voice as an instrument. Get in tuned with her.
Greatness + Greatness = this Robert Glasper + Esperanza Spalding = this
I had this song playing while driving on the freeway during the sunset while the clouds were scattered in the sky, and WOW! did I feel like I was driving in another world. 🌇 🚗 🎵
Oh man I feel that 😱🙏🏾💯🎤
Q Tip never disappoints. FLY!
NEVER!!! THE ABSTRACT IS THE GAWD
For REAL, just wait for that LL COOL J and Q -Tip album. 2 LEGENDS. That should be real SPECIAL.
ITS A QUEENS THANG.
Never ever
Love Q Tip Love this song
Best song on the album!!!! I’ve had this on repeat for the past few days….really reminds me of Les Nubians!!!! Q-Tip’s genius added to this makes it all the more 🔥🔥🔥🔥 We need another album from Q too!!!
yes we do! the Last Zulu is coming!
Still top on my morning 🌄 list ✨️
I agree that it's the best song on the album
Golddddd.
Now I got it on repeat!!
A Glasper & Dilla project would have been a timeless piece of art, love and memories .
This musical genius is soooooo underrated. We need to give him his flowers.
Don't forget the other genius on this record, the great Esperanza Spalding.
which one? they are ALL musical icons at this TENDER age of CARNAGE
I SO HATE THAT TERM ' UNDERRATED ' , HEAR ME ON THIS A ARTIST IS NOT UNDERRATED TO YOU IF HE IS FIRE TO YOU .. NO BODY ELSE MATTERS , WHO CARES IF THE MASSES DONT GIVE THEM THERE PROPS .. IM JUST SAYING ..
I do👊🏽👑
Don't worry, he's getting it in 10 folds. His shows are always sold out when he comes to NYC. Robert is far from underrated. He has a bunch of grammys. He is well known in multiple musical genres. He is just not commercial.
This banger brings me back to 90's Acid Jazz vibes.
Super love love love it.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Acid jazz and I truly agree
Standing Ovation!!!!!! This song is absolutely perfection!!!!
Two years later and this song is still on repeat! So good!
Global Black unity❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
WOW, classic African + Rap = Genius!! Beautiful surprise, Esperanza & Q-Tip, Robert Glasper is among this century's best arrangers and composers, etc. !!
I love this masterpiece
Had the chance to hear this, at the Robert Glasper album listening party,here on You Tube. Esperanza Spalding and Qtip Magnifique!!!
Please add Amel Larrieux one day 😆 🤣 😂 she is awesome too.
Those chords on that organ . The bass and drums with the vocals omgah!!! ❤❤❤❤
Powerful song, so powerful. It made me think about questions like "Who Am I?" and "What/Why Do We Speak?".
the melody is beautiful
I stand by my observation that Brother grasper is on some next-level George duke stuff! Black Radio Matters! Keep blazing that dukey stick!
Right on point with the George Duke comparison.
Just what my soul needed to hear after a long, mentally draining day at work! Thank you! 🥰 🙏🏾 🤗
The Abstract Poet. ✊🏾
Wow! I’ve never heard of this amazing artist before the 2023 Grammy Awards. This is the type of soothing music 🎶 I absolutely desire!❤❤
He does it every time!!! Create nothing but masterpieces!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Say That! I totally agree! NOTE: You stated : Truth & Facts" PERIODTTT!! 💯🔥💣🎼🎶🎵🎤🥁🎹❤️
Yes he does💕💕💕
Sing it Esperanza. 🎶 This is a total vibe. Robert Glasper needs his flowers like yesterday!!
✨️👊🏽👑....freedom of expression🦋🎤 🤎✨️🎶🎵🎼...the joy of creating ,evolving 🦋🌟🪄💖🔥
Im picturing driving on a cool summer night in something with the top down just enjoying life with my love next to me just bobbing our heads! Love it!!!
A whole vibe im manifesting rn
Can't stop listening to this song. May be Song of the Year in my book.
can't believe we live in the same generation as these musical genius
I saw Esperanza in concert & man that voice is just pure beauty. Concert I will never forget .
Favorite song on the album. Just puts me in the best mood.
Just when I find myself at wits end losing faith in humanity at how cruel we judge and treat one another. There are glimmers of hope with music that transcends this world by healing the soul & mind. Thanks for sharing your gift!!! 🤙
Peacefully Stay,
-Jeff
Three greats… I clicked like immediately. After listening, I know that I did the right thing.

Its medicine. Pure medicine.
OMG!!!!! How beautiful is this????? It's great to hear from Q Tip again. Always a pleasure.
Just when I thought I couldn't be any more attracted to little Miss beautiful Esperanza Spalding! 🥰 Mr. Glasper, you are ALWAYS Next Level!!
I'm traveling across space where Time is limitless and the Stars are illuminated dipping in the Milky Way and astroid belt towards a destination of light and imagination ✨
Robert, you are the breath of fresh air that can save hip-hop...💯🔥
Salute!!
Our man Glasper - think and absorb the lyrics, "Water" is the essential product of the earth and we all are composed of it. Love oneself....Esparanza in French, Q-tip rapping and Glasper composing and playing. Makes us appreciate "US"

Awesome collaboration 👌🏾 👌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
aaaaaaaahhhh, i am such a sucker for anything Q-Tip related, and a huge RG fan, so, i didn't click that fast in a looooooooooong time. godly combo, ah yeah 💗 thx guys, for everything
ok, three days later, i realized a) how perfect the beat sounds to my ears, i mean, even Kamaal is only getting better all the time, and now, in 2022, you pronounce that like *all THE TIME!!!* ;) and b) the whole amount of magic Esperanza is bringing to the track.
i put this officially into my top 5 of best songs i can think of, maybe top 3, at least of this millenium
oh, when are dem Q-Tip albums comingggg, finalllllyyyyyy
hey me! 😃
Life can bring you down when you're living in it
These circles and cycles go round though you even spin it
But you stoppin it when your shoulder is a reminder
To not run yourself in the ground, to yourself be kinder
Sometimes I got real cast by truth even in the rear view
Driving aimlessly around with nowhere to stay to
She ain't the should be them, the vibes like an abstract poet
If somebody ask who you are, well
You better know it, better know it, better know it
I need this coming out of surgery. Thank you Mr Glasper. Q Tip and Esperanzas Chemistry is bomb
Released 20 hours ago...for real??? I love when Glapsers ish jumps on my timeline.
Greetings from France, so nice this track is...🥰
I think this song is about how black ppl in america were forced to speak the english language “before they had a say, and nobody asked if they wanted it”
That’s why this song is in french in my opinion (the official language most African countries speak nowadays) to remember the origins… remember how to breathe, etc. And many other forgotten things that the mother land once taught.
(Though even french was actually forced too but at least its understood by ppl in africa, unlike english)
Thank you
the first 5 secs, I knew I would love this song
I'm a huge Robert Glasper fan. I'm also a huge Qtip/tribe fan. This song is so beautifully done.
This is mad groovy! Peace from Key West, FL .
Thank you Robert Glasper for another vibe! ✨♥️
Love this man’s music. Truly a musical genius and I don’t throw around the term “genius” loosely. He truly is amazingly gifted, and skilled at his craft and an remarkable ability to gather a diverse ensemble of remarkably gifted artists together to create a unique sound.
What an amazing composition!
In my Top 3 if not my number 1 from the album!
Esperanza back in that pocket. Super Jazzy and soulful. A masterpiece! Fin
The message is loud and clear and the realness is beautifully laid out in this ballad on life! ❤❤❤❤❤
Let's goooo
Straight up and down - this guy is a genius
J'adore cela musique! ❤️
J'adore "cette" musique 😉
Robert!!! You are PHENOMENAL. You made me fall in love with JAZZ all over again! Merci
Straight up Banger! headbop to it, hipshake to it, cruise in your whip... I've been Skating to this on a regular basis. Definitely my favorite on the album, I didn't think 'Better than I imagined' could be beaten...
Dope
I mean this song opens my heart so wide. Thank you
