Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals: SXSW 2016 | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2016
- Without a doubt, Anderson .Paak is the new "it" guy of that place where R&B and hip-hop overlap. It sort of happened overnight, and we can kind of credit Dr. Dre, who gave .Paak permission to leave his fingerprints all over Dre's long-awaited return to music, 2015's Compton. But the palpable, feverish excitement in the breezy night air at Stubb's during NPR Music's SXSW showcase in the moments leading up to .Paak's set was all his own.
Backed by his jaw-droppingly malleable band, The Free Nationals, Anderson .Paak hit our stage sounding as refreshed and crystal clear as he does on his album Malibu, the moment when our collective ears perked up at NPR Music - even after giving his all at at least two showcases before ours, with another coming immediately after.
Throughout the set, .Paak sang and rapped effortlessly, stretching and flexing between each form, the passion in his voice making the transitions seamless. When he wasn't taking us down with his voice, it was the cool oozing out of his dance moves; when it wasn't his dance moves, it was the crowd-pleasing moment when he jumped behind the drum kit and immediately felt right at home.
With every meticulously crafted and performed note, audience members, security, bartenders and NPR staff alike couldn't help but look at one another with wonderment in our eyes - but we didn't dwell on it, because .Paak made damn sure to make us dance. People of all colors, shapes and sizes grooved and swayed together to .Paak and crew, from the stone cold jam "Am I Wrong," to the hat-tip cover of the late David Bowie's "Let's Dance," to "Suede," one of thesongs we loved in 2015. With all of those moments rolled into one, .Paak showed and proved that where good music appears, the party will undoubtedly follow. - Katie Fitzgerald

Artist of the fucking year
Sheeeeeet....., DECADE Baby! Rest out here are Crap.
agreed
He's awesome...but don't discount The Internet!
The Internet is aight but Anderson Paak is waaaay better and it's really not even close
blakeandcamp I disagree. They are both very talented artists and favorites of mine.
He will go down in history. He doesn't just appeal to R&B fans, or hip-hop fans... he appeals to fans of ANY MUSIC.
Prophecy
Man how little did you know what was coming!
But respect the heart of it....r&b.
As a metalhead who LOVES his music, you have no idea how true your statement is!
Prince is looking down on this dude smiling forreal
I thought the same thing! Reminded me of the live version of Joy in Repetition that is out there now! Love this.
They aren't even alike...
Man look up the artist Harts. For real, if you love Prince influenced music Harts is the go to man (as much as I love Paak). The dude is so good that Prince worked with him a few years ago. Harts is Aussie as well
REAL TALK
His stage presence is fucking incredible
+Natalie Rodriguez That's really gonna separate him from the pack. Don't think I've ever felt this much energy from a performance on a computer screen.
I couldn't agree more. Julian Wyllie
Julian Wyllie the “Paak”
@caprice.t love them ! and they do !
That’s why they call him Cheeky- ✌️🇺🇸
Holy shit this dude is hip-hop, rock, r&b soul, and pop all in one
His music just like a combination of everything danceable and energetic.
4 years later, and Anderson .Paak is still the best performer and artist out there🙏
5 years later*
6… still holds true
Want .Paak to become a legend
Cool, buy the albums and tell your friends!
pretty sure he's on his way already:D
He already has.
taking it to a whole new level... way past those before him like van hunt or lenny
.paaks not dead! lol
Anderson Paak is a reflection of god and someone who is literally overflowing with music. he's so hungry to get better. like a true ass artist.
This is that 70s funk soul shit, love it.
Why You GunPoint At Me Chief?
R&B singer, rapper, drummer. Triple threat.
ha2ki2an Dancer too...quadruple threat lol😝🙏🏾🙌🏾
How did I just discover this dude? One of the best singing/rapping drummers ever
The comedic skit they did right before Come Down was so well placed and funny
Right 🤣😂🤣😂.
Saw this guy live and immediately knew he would be a star. Had so much stage presence and had the entire crowd POPPING
I can see why..he's so full of talent with energy for days 👏🎶❤
Heard him for the first time today and he immedeatly flashed me
I would’ve been dancing like a back up dancer.. He has the ability to get the crowd moving. I love him!
Anderson .Paak is a breathe of fresh air........
.Paak has to be a household name by year's end. This dude controls the stage effortlessly and make me groove out
OMG!! I just discovered Anderson Paak...my ears know a gift to be cherished when I hear it. Awed I AM!!
This is the very definition of a real musician
Playing green light as an intro is just so badass. I watch the first few minutes of this video frequently just for the first song lol
Acts like this restore my faith in music.
He drums and sings so effortlessly, he is gonna be one of greats if he keeps it up. One of the most interesting artists out there right now.
World hasn't seen a singing drummer since the rock'n'roll days. Good shit.
Phil Collins ... Dave Grohl ...
Phil is 65 so he has technically lived the rock'n'roll era and dave plays guitar for the most part. Quest appearance on the drums doesn't count.
Dave doesn't do it all of the time now, but there are videos of performances where he is singing while on the drums. But that could lead to Taylor Hawkins also
And of course I'm sticking to lead singing, since Dave has done it as a member of Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures too.
Ya'll forgot about Levon, who would no doubt respect .Paak
Dave Grohl doesn't sing while playing drums. Taylor Hawkins does in his side project though, which is actually really solid.
The Right One should be part of the repertoire all the time - so hot and great moves.
I'm calling it now, he's going to be HUGEE, like really HUGE
His music is everything, 68 yrs old and loving this man and his music 🧡🧡💙
His voice in live is exactly as it is in the records
Bass player kills me every time!!! He is so on point!
THAT "WAR" T SHIRT IZ ON POINT!!! (you can feel that he got inspired by that type of music, pure pure music)
Free Nats killin it too! José Rios is like my goddamn favorite guitarist. Dude's got soul.
you can just tell when someone's going to be star..anderson paak got that "it" factor going in spades
Look at him now 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🎧🎵🌎Wow, so happy 😀
I was planning on watching a few minutes of this video, but I watched the whole thing. I couldn't stop.
Leo Delgadillo Same dude
Leo Delgadillo lol same. Couldn't stop watching
A.P. has so much talent 💯👂👏❤

His gritty voice is very satisfying. It’s a dope vibe

That one dude screaming the lyrics is dedicated.
Wheres that dope keyboard player of his? He is missed here.
T-Nava is very much missed here.
Came across .Paak on Dr. Dre's Compton soundtrack...been a fan since. Venice and Malibu are so great. Can't wait to see him live sometime soon.
I'd heard his features in everything but I finally decided to check out his solo work after hearing him on Blank Face and god damn, Malibu is my favourite album of the year by far.
back here to listen for the 100th time

Watching this in 2020
Hello from 2024 and AP is still the man 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I Love this guy!! Totaling refreshing to my ears;-)
That entrance. True GOAT style.
the groove on this guy and the whole band is just awesome!!
Album better fckn get some Grammy nom's. One of the best albums in years... Start to finish.
So glad this video is up again... where I live it was blocked because of copyright issues. I probably listen to this about 4/5 times a week, I really missed it!
Can't stop listening to him for the last 2 months... Shit I'm addicted, how can it be cured?
An all-round true entertainer.
Being a fan since I saw him in Nov. 2014 in Charlotte, it makes my heart happy to see the homie getting the recognition he deserves. Such a new different sound, but with such a vintage approach. I love it.
Curtis Wallen yoooooo that was where I became a fan too! He’s amazing!
I have been playing that Malibu album everyday for the past month.
My favorite has got to be Silicon Valley, but the whole album is classic.
yaboivybez same but for like 6 months
yeah im wild late to the party, i just figured out it was his second album
everyday since it came out 4 me lol
Yes! One of the best that came out of 2016!
OH-PEN YOUR HEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHRT
This guy is special and unique. And 100 % music!
Just saw him live at The Roots Picnic...dude's insanely talented!! One of the best live performances I've ever seen
MISS RIGHT ! Omg . Why he is so perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A refreshing sound & talent .. this dude will be around for a while.
Bro lets just leave the voice, sounds, soul, funk to the side real quick.. HIS LYRICISM ALONE? So fucking dope man
Spiritual lyrical individual spiritual lyrical
Riiight thooo!!
In 2018, soul is in good hands. Somewhere, James Brown is smiling. God forbid, if Anderson were to somehow die tomorrow, it would go down as one of the most painful examples of unfulfilled potential in our time in music. This man has the path to legendary status in his own hands. A powerful artist.
One of my fav performances!!!!
So I just can't stop smiling... Smiled through the entire video :-) He makes me feel so good. the Paak. Man!!! He eating!
my god... this dude is GOOD
Love Anderson Paak~ such a musical range, talent, performer!!!
A.Paak killed this set
16:40 the switch from .Paak to Bowie. 100% my two favorite artists of all time. God bless this man.
I WAS AT THIS!! Incredible show, as you can tell.
39:12mins of happiness right here
Best 40 minutes of music I have EVER heard. Too good!
that jacket!
+Jarell Copeland where the hell did he get that beautiful thing?!?!?
I would watch .Paak play drums the whole night. Love his whole groove
This dude got the swag
Dear Anderson Paak: I'm addicted bruh!!!!
Wow, 2016 greatest discovery .Paak
I can not wait to see him at Outside Lands! I've been following him since he was Breezy Lovejoy and I'm so damn happy he's blowing up. Can't get enough of his music.
What a performance 🔥🔥🔥
NEVER get tired of .Paak; SO damn talented❣️
I was at SXSW that year and he shut shit the fuck down. Phenomenal performance
