Yes but it seems he finally getting the recognition he deserves. In earlier interviews EG Sonic Youth and Nirvana they look at him like an annoyance but in recent interviews everyone seems to recognise his talent as an interviewer (and allegience to "The People" shout out Khaled)!
It's also kind of a mark of your legitimacy in the underground to land an interview with Nardwuar. He doesn't just interview the people that are getting really popular or that are on their way to the mainstream - he interviews the artists (especially with the rappers imo) that have actual respect from hip hop nerds. He rarely does an interview with a lame sellout artist and there's lots of super popular artists that he doesn't interview probably because he doesn't think they're very good. I think the musicians understand this now - they know he has really good taste and that his following is a bunch of music nerds with high standards. But yeah Narduar has been around for a long time. I think he was probably even more popular in the 90s and 00s than he is now. Still love him though, and he's as good as he's ever been at doing these dig-deep interviews. I really want to know how he does it though because a lot of the time the stuff he brings up isn't even on the internet anywhere, and it's always obvious that the musician has no idea how he finds out what he did. He must be calling up personal friends and family or something..
+Gods HNIC same here. i notice, too, that whenever he's holding the mic stationary for the interviews, his hand is kind of jittery and shaky. anyone else notice?
It really really is. She brings up being a fan of Lauryn Hill and I'm a big fan of Hill as well. But if we're being totally honest, there's not a lot of really good quality female rappers, for whatever reason. It's a shame and I've been waiting a long time for a woman to rise to the level of Lauryn Hill in terms of rapping ability. IMO Little Simz is BETTER than Lauryn Hill, and mind you that's a very big compliment coming from me because I think Hill is one of the best.
Little Simz is an absolute gem. I was stunned when Alex Grey came up. As someone who spent a long time being big into Tool, I've got some psychedelic connections to Alex Grey's work and once considered getting a full back tattoo of Theologue (the piece she mentioned).
Peace out. Age 101, space age, chart 20, OTG, Little Simz, Nardwuar - in the cut. Know yourself, Tilla, Josh Arcé, Smerks, Inside, Izzy, N1 - Come onn. Whaat?
This has aged like wine
Honestly
"because you're ____, we *have* to know"
*he can't keep getting away with it*
Back after yet ANOTHER great album
Revisiting after her amazing new album dropped
Imagine Nuardwar as a battle rapper lol. He would destroy you.
His research game is crazy
@@briankerogoi4798 that’s why I wanna work for nardwuar to see how he gets the info
Every battle would be like the end of 8 Mile. Just ending careers.
Yeah, he'd probably bring up the exact date and time some rapper shit his diapers up his spine as a baby.
@@user-lf4cd2km8k Nard is the only Fortune 500 One Man Corporation on the planet lol
shes one of the best uk rappers right now. love this interview thanks narddd
shes now the best uk rapper.
@@Liam-co1bw for sure in the top 5 conversation. but 200% the best female rapper.
@@Meerzie top 5 uk? whos better than simz in the uk rn?
@@Liam-co1bw strictly skill level I honestly think slowthai, dave and headie are better but that’s just imo
@@MeerzieI'm impressed u actually responded after 7 yesterday lmao
oh god, i love her and i love her accent
Come to the ends where she's from, we all talk like that.
You and me both.
She's the dopest
And nardwuar is dope 4 having her.
Love her and him.
@@ryanjohnson7354 no you don’t
@Aneesh Kulkarni it’s not
She's so beautiful
Seriously underrated artist.
Nardwuar VS Nardwuar
lol
lmao srsly tho Nardwuar's life is amazing he needs a documentary
Nardwuar vs. Skepta
That'd be maud
DEFENITELY
defo agree
YES
if he is coming to north America thats a 25% chance
The melon man probably influenced this recommendation for me
Her accent makes my knees weak lmao
Anyone who doesn't know her, check her shit, she's a god
+nickdijcj1 ayy
Five years later and after listening to "Sometimes I might be an introvert" I agree
I just discovered her now
Nard is a genius tbh he is the best interviewer of our generation!
+Jake Hurley He's doing this for almost three decades, so I'm sure he's been the best one for many generations so far.

I don't think we can consider him our generation, bruh.
Most underrated narduar interview
*I hope OG Nard is in good health, and isn't pushing himself too much for these interviews...*
+Gods HNIC same here. i notice, too, that whenever he's holding the mic stationary for the interviews, his hand is kind of jittery and shaky. anyone else notice?
regardless glad to see nard's doing better
Who is BACK after she dropped the hip hop album of the year?
omg i have such a crush on lil simz tbh
jasper rademaker everytime i meet a shy cute girl who talk like these, I can't help it
it's the accent
she has a beautiful voice
Welcome to Nardwuar 'How do you know that?'
Someone should make a highlight video of interviewees saying 'How do you know that?'
It exists!
@@ThisVideoGang I have come to know them in these 6 years!
she's a cutie.
SIMBI is so fire, all of her works are amazing. cant believe i discovered her music only a few months ago
world's only interviewer who doesn't have to ask questions
This makes me so happy. BIG UP LITTLE SIMZ, BIG UP LDN❤
I love you Little Simz
I have a big crush on Little Simz
I'm really thankful that Nardwuar decided to be a music journalist, he would have gotten unalived if he did other kinds of journalism so fast😂
I mean he interviewed politicians, didn't he?
@@pokingotaku yeah he did, I've seen bits and pieces of those, it was unbearable the way they usually dismissed him
Holy shit her music is fire as fuck! Gotta thank Nardwuar man damn
It really really is. She brings up being a fan of Lauryn Hill and I'm a big fan of Hill as well. But if we're being totally honest, there's not a lot of really good quality female rappers, for whatever reason.

i hope yall still listen to her and enjoyed her 3 albums
We need a Simz interview part 2 expeditiously
Little Simz is the most beautiful soul on the planet. I am in love. We must protect her at all costs.
Yo she's so cute and that accent makes my heart smile. Thanks for another great interview Nardwuar, take it easy!

By far one of the most slept on rappers , Fanstastic down to earth personality also
what a queen, much love for little simz
I love how Nardwuar trips people out on how much he knows....love these interviews!💜
Straight outta London! Big up Simz, making some serious waves out here
Its always funny when an artist isnt familiar with Nardwuar, and they ask 'how did you know about...?'. NARDWUAR IS VARYS OF THE MUSIC WORLD
She's a beaut.
Nardwuar the greatest talent scout since gold diggers in the hood.
My love Simz finally got the Nardwuar interview. Bout time.
She is queen. 👑
We need her and Sa Roc on a track!!
Alex Grey is so dope. Him and his wife.

Why dies nardwuar always leave me with the biggest smile on my face!
bro she’s so beautiful omg 😭💕
...she is so bae, and she loves Dilla omfg
Little Simz is an absolute gem. I was stunned when Alex Grey came up. As someone who spent a long time being big into Tool, I've got some psychedelic connections to Alex Grey's work and once considered getting a full back tattoo of Theologue (the piece she mentioned).
rah, been supporting her from early, I think I was 9 when I first heard her, im 15 now... its been years
StatiKTV how old is she? She looks 17 or something lmao
@@antonioperez4796 she was born in '94
I love how she respects Nardwuar even though she didn't know his schtick that well.
Not sure how I slept on Simz this long. I am ashamed.
she's so cute
She is cute af
B
Damn, she fly as fuuuck...
She's was high..
I love her
Still waiting on Kanye.. Make it happen nardwuar
Anyone who loves J Dilla is All right with me.
Nardwuar vs Erykah Badu would be ultimate!
Ba Booom
+James Saukila that would be AMAZING
Peace out. Age 101, space age, chart 20, OTG, Little Simz, Nardwuar - in the cut. Know yourself, Tilla, Josh Arcé, Smerks, Inside, Izzy, N1 - Come onn. Whaat?
Respect!!! Not enough people share thst name JDilla forever ❤️
Just discovered her today thinking she’s a new artist and TH-cam recommended this
I wish I found her sooner
Little simz always the best fits
Little Simz, is my favourite UK artist!!
More grime. Really excited to see you tapping into the UK Rap scene.
Jay loves Japan was so underrated. One of my all time faves.
She’s so cute. Her mannerisms. I used to date a girl from London, who would say “Oh my days!” anytime anything got extra or baffling lol
Alex Grey! My favorite painter! Thanks to Tool of course. 😁
Simz sounds like shes rapping when she talks. Her voice is insane
Yo the sxsw interviews been killin it with who you interviewed.
Little Simz is so fucking chill!
I smiled this entire interview.
So many great interviews lately.
She as such a similar reaction to Kendrick's interview, it's mad how they look the same!
She seems to be much bigger in the states than here in UK. Met saw her in my town she seemed bool but was looking hella crazy
Nah nobody here in the states really gives a fuck about her either besides some weirdos here and there.
That's why her NY tour is sold out. What are you doing with yourself lowlife.
She’s big in the UK now,her album grey area is the best album released this year imo
I’m from New Orleans but her accent is Mindblowing!!!!!!!!!!!
Her last Ep was fire.
Pouya interview pls or Denzel Curry
true shit fr
DENZEL
+oWetThings Both
+oWetThings Gold. That would be gold.
***** true
Her projects are real deal solid.
How is the USA sleeping on this genius?
Big up's to London Town shutting it down
That ending was so cute
Nardwuar might be with them people
Only interviewer who does research
GANG GANG GANG GANG GANG
i hope everyone talking about her looks checks out her music too. esp her debut album, DEAD BODY goes HARD AF
She's decent looking but her music is trash
Haters always gonna hate
@@teflonvaughn1470 you have abysmal taste
this song was the anthem in Seattle back in the day
Lil simz so underrated but makes super quality music
rumour has it nardwuar knows everything
Brilliant, worth alone for the ending.
BIG UP LITTLE SIMZ UK REPRESENT
Nardwuar doesn't age.
Oh my days what an interview
I was waiting for it!
she a damn cutie
Nardwuar rockin' that Club Deportivo Guijuelo jersey. #RESPECT
Her lips 😍
