That is hilarious because he comes from a long line of educators, he has an aunt and some uncles who were music teachers. His great aunt was Sheila Younge Wilson Vp Kamala Harris first grade teacher....it makes sense that he would be like the cool music teacher!!
Can we all just agree that this was prolly one of the most enriching enlightening episodes, purely because of the amount of knowledge this brother has and his evident pleasure in sharing it? ugh
He's right about Beth Gibbons. I was at the 2 very first shows when they came back with Third. Met her between the 2 shows. Told her that the show the previous night was amazing. Thought she would tell me "thanks !" and leave. Instead of that, she asked me which parts were the best to me and we finally talked for like 30 minutes. When she left, she hugged me and told me "thank you for sharing your feelings about our music with me". So humble and down to earth. Met some other members of the band that same weekend and they were all as gentle as her. No stupid "rock star attitude". Just down to earth music lovers. Loved that. A great experience in my life.
Amoeba I can't express or explain how much I appreciate this series. I've been watching these for years and have recently been, 're-bingeing' the old and new clips. From DJ Spinna, J Rocc and Karriem Riggins, my idol Peanut Butter Wolf to this amazing passionate gifted brother, Adrian Younge. Thank you for creating a platform for them to share their passion and pass down their music knowledge and influences. Much love. Peace.
Duuuudddee...I could listen to Adrian Younge talk about music all day long! I nearly cried when he brought out Arthur Verocai! That album is everything! From start to finish it's a masterpiece! Adrian knows wtf he's talkin about!
I know right he seem like he could be a music teacher and I love Rapahel Saadiq "whats in my bag" also he is another one that give great stories about the albums I can just listen to both artists talk about music all day long.
Do yourself a big favour and check out "There is Only Now" by Souls Of Mischief as well. It's an album that actually demands you sit down turn the volume just about moderate and listen to the story unfolds, the whole album is a story.
Yeah. There's some people who've been fans for some time though, like Richard Ashcroft used to play "Holy are you" before The Verve concerts in the 90s
I always knew Adrian Younge's taste would ressonate with mine. Raymond Scott and King Crimson were quite a surprise, tho. went to a Arthur Verocai concert a couple years ago and it was amazing, we all should be thankful to Prefuse73 and Ubiquity for giving him proper recognition
It's wonderful to see his love and passion for music. I didn't know most of the albums or even artists he is talking about in this video, but I will definitely give all of them a listen.
Amazing how so many joints I was influenced by he listed. My jaw dropped years ago when I first heard King Crimson that same song. My whole day was trippin till I found and got that song.
Damn he really broke down several artist and that are still referenced and sampled in today’s hip hop. This is a great starting point for anyone who hasn’t delved deep into recent music history.
this episode rules on many levels, the best part reminding me of the lightworks sample source after people told me that the dilla sample was not taken from an actual song. vindication!
Dude knows his music'..He composed the Black Dynamite albums using all the oldschool equipment guys were using in the 70's. Never heard someone talk about Eugene McDaniels before. I thought I was hot ishh' for having 2 of his albums. Hehe.. I have that David Axelrod vinyl too. Songs of Innocence is a great album as well, and people sampled the ishh out of it. I guess Im being reminded of how dope Portishead is too. Time goes by and u stop playing older stuff sometimes. I need to bring it back!! Great episode. Reminds me of my own record collection. I need to start playing my stuff more. Tks for the reminder dudes..✌
I love these Amoeba "whats in my bag", these artists have some great selection. I love Adrian Younge selection I agree with him on Peanuts album I love that jazz sound from Charlie Brown, I love that Portishead album, I have that Tribe Called Quest CD amazing album.
We used to rock at Adrianne's Bridges feeling that funk n soul!!! So glad that he's working doing movie soundtracks working with award winning artist like, Ali Shaheed, RZA n still Djing this brotha does it all!!! "Poppin Chuck" here L.A.Breakers, L.A.Boppers, Geo-Matrix, Robot M.A.F.I.A, Grand Poppers!!!
Superb selections from a great musican / producer. Went deep with integrity and not phony obscure name-dropping of the rarest white label pressings. Listen to Adrian Younge's suggestions and music.
Amoeba is great cuz it lets us hear different perspectives. For example, even though i disagree, all of his picks here are seen as a “foundation” or a “trailblazer” for HIP HOP... he sees it through the lens of someone associated with the “hiphop” culture, so he relates everything that inspired it to be like “pre hip-hop” music. Everything is related to hip hop for him. But I might see hip hop as a “byproduct” or a “result” of artists in latin music/funk/soul (verocai/gil scott/delfonics). To me hip hop might just be a natural musical tendency, like how a black metal artist might incorporate synthesizers after listening to minimalist brian eno. Just an interesting thought that people might have a reversed perspective on things...
Outstanding selections and, for real, the Verocai debut is right around 30 minutes and there's a lifetime of music in it. Like several now-classic Brazilian albums, this one was WIDELY ignored/lost/forgotten by all but a rabid few for over 3 decades (see also: Jose Mauro). Follow Verocai on Instagram. And man, do I miss a good flea market. I am surprised Younge didn't mention Roy Ayers as a major influence, but perhaps he has all the albums so it wasn't any left for him to buy and rep one of his heroes. Axelrod, amazing. I didn't know about him until 2005 even though Mo' Wax released an album in 2001 (and I wasn't listening to much mainstream hip hop which would've sampled Axelrod). Loved all Adrian's selections and will def check Eugene McDaniels as I am completely unfamiliar with that artist.
Lol Adrian Younge here is like the cool music teacher we all wish we had when we're younger
Some of his explanations are so hilariously canned. Doesn't take away from the importance of the music he's sharing though
Best believe im taking notes 📝
Straight FACTS!!!!
That is hilarious because he comes from a long line of educators, he has an aunt and some uncles who were music teachers. His great aunt was Sheila Younge Wilson Vp Kamala Harris first grade teacher....it makes sense that he would be like the cool music teacher!!
Can we all just agree that this was prolly one of the most enriching enlightening episodes, purely because of the amount of knowledge this brother has and his evident pleasure in sharing it? ugh
Actually a musically literate man with taste!
Yeah, this is one of the best episodes.
damn he almost shed a tear talking about portishead :)
whats the name of song?
@@faizanshafi6182 It's called Cowboys buddy ;)
Reminds me of that time flea actually did tear up talking about when he listened to Ruff Draft on a hiking trip
He picked your guitarist too.
King Crimson and Portishead are 2 of my favourites. Adrian is a top producer and this clip shows why
i can listen to adrian younge talk about music all day
He's right about Beth Gibbons.

No stupid "rock star attitude". Just down to earth music lovers. Loved that. A great experience in my life.
I'm 3 videos into this guy and he's become one of my favorite people in the world
Incredible good taste! Now I wanna listen to your music, Adrian!
u really should :)
WOW! Adrian Younger is a very elegant man and a great musician.
Me too!!!
Listen to 12 reasons to die by Ghostface Killah, Adrian produced it! Great album
The Midnight hour project is really good.
Every single album he listed is a must-have. Nicely done, Adrian Younge.

This guy is so serious with it he has special crate digging gloves on
Nope, I think he wears them most of the time. I’ve shaken his hand in London whilst he wore the very same gloves😃
Please get him back for a part two.
This is why I keep notifications for this show. I knew Adrian Younge was going to have the hippest picks
Idk who this guy is but damn I'll have to check him out. I liked every person he recommended. Best episode yet in my opinion.
Check out his album with Ghostface Killah called Twelve Reasons to Die. He produced the entire thing
No shit. This man truly loves music.
My favourite work of his is Bilal's album In Another Life, give it a look
@@henryhill92 definitely
Do yourself a big favour and check out "There is Only Now" by Souls Of Mischief as well. It's an album that actually demands you sit down turn the volume just about moderate and listen to the story unfolds, the whole album is a story.
I don't know this guy but his taste is great
David Axelrod is mad overlooked outside of the Hip Hop community.
so true dude is a genius he has mad respect from the Hip Hop Community/heads tho.
Yeah. There's some people who've been fans for some time though, like Richard Ashcroft used to play "Holy are you" before The Verve concerts in the 90s
Yes! Everything he ever touched was pure excellence.
I always knew Adrian Younge's taste would ressonate with mine. Raymond Scott and King Crimson were quite a surprise, tho. went to a Arthur Verocai concert a couple years ago and it was amazing, we all should be thankful to Prefuse73 and Ubiquity for giving him proper recognition
Cinematic !
ABSOLUTELY, HANDS DOWN THE BEST SO FAR.
Portishead as a group will never go out of style and time.
I like the way he dresses very classy.
The best episode. Always return just to enjoy
This episode is a blessing.
I have massive respect for this man. Very good taste! Half of these recordings in my favourites list.
Outstanding selections all around. That Arthur Verocai record is the truth.
Great choices and yes that Arthur Verocai album is absolutely brilliant, hands down one of my favorite albums
Wow ! 🥇
It's wonderful to see his love and passion for music. I didn't know most of the albums or even artists he is talking about in this video, but I will definitely give all of them a listen.
Excellent choices💯
Vince Guiraldo Trio is a good pick! Chloe Burbank introduced me to that magical world.
Amazing how so many joints I was influenced by he listed. My jaw dropped years ago when I first heard King Crimson that same song. My whole day was trippin till I found and got that song.
ONE OF THE BEST
Damn he really broke down several artist and that are still referenced and sampled in today’s hip hop. This is a great starting point for anyone who hasn’t delved deep into recent music history.
Anybody interested in this guy should check out his collaborative album with Ghostface Killah, 12 Reasons to Die. Amazing beats and production
Thanks for this beautiful playlist!! um salve do BRASIL terra de Arthur Verocai!! BLESS
This video took me 2 days to watch. Paused for a Raymond Scott rabbit hole.
I must have watched 100 of these and I think this might be the best one.
Adrian Younge and I have the same taste in music. These are all some of my favorites.
Saw Portishead in '97 too. They were awesome!
one of the best episodes
Top shelf episode. Thank you for turning me on to some fantastic albums.❤️
all choice picks, awesome
this episode rules on many levels, the best part reminding me of the lightworks sample source after people told me that the dilla sample was not taken from an actual song. vindication!
this is BRILLIANT!

The only What's in My Bag that put me onto mindblowing albums
Adrian is one cool brother! Definitely going to check out his music!
I love Portishead so much!
Did not know this cat until I checked this video out, but I'm all in now!
Never heard if this dude, but his taste is impeccable; thus, he just gained another fan.
I love these Amoeba "whats in my bag", these artists have some great selection. I love Adrian Younge selection I agree with him on Peanuts album I love that jazz sound from Charlie Brown, I love that Portishead album, I have that Tribe Called Quest CD amazing album.
Damn. What a dude. He should have a weekly segment here.
Definitely one of the best selections of gems in this series... thx for sharing! 😍
Raymond Scott is a genius! Also, every note on that Headless Heroes album has been sampled by another great band. And that's ok!
I just knew that Adrian's edition would be full of gems.
We used to rock at Adrianne's Bridges feeling that funk n soul!!! So glad that he's working doing movie soundtracks working with award winning artist like, Ali Shaheed, RZA n still Djing this brotha does it all!!! "Poppin Chuck" here L.A.Breakers, L.A.Boppers, Geo-Matrix, Robot M.A.F.I.A, Grand Poppers!!!
hmm crazy i found the sames things including portishead wayback then when i was 17...thanx adrian!
Half of his favourites are my favourites.
No coincidence.
Great video, going to check out his music now for sure
This one needs a part 2, 3, 4, 5...
Great discoveries here (for me). Eugene McDaniels, Raymond Scott, David Axelrod... Cheers Adrian!
Vince Guaraldi’s music was 🔥.
Superb selections from a great musican / producer. Went deep with integrity and not phony obscure name-dropping of the rarest white label pressings. Listen to Adrian Younge's suggestions and music.
Great one today
Awesome !!!!!
One hell of an episode.
Hell yeah shout outs to East Side Story!
Great video of great taste , thank you so much ❤️
Wouldnt yall just die to hang out with Mr. Younge and spin records and talk?

The best by far...

Finally a good episode
Dude deserves to have his own radio-station!

Great episode!
Dope music. even some stuff ive never heard. i gotta check out arthur verocai
You won't regret that. That is a stellar album!
Arthur Verocai is awesome, man. Much love from Brazil!
Thank you Amoeba..we rock🤘
Ugh this guy is so fucking awesome!
Amoeba is great cuz it lets us hear different perspectives.
For example, even though i disagree, all of his picks here are seen as a “foundation” or a “trailblazer” for HIP HOP... he sees it through the lens of someone associated with the “hiphop” culture, so he relates everything that inspired it to be like “pre hip-hop” music.

Just an interesting thought that people might have a reversed perspective on things...
So what you're saying is, you actually agree with him, you just want to use semantics to be reductive towards hip hop?
@@henryhill92 I guess. Still interesting to me though, to put things into words.
Adrian Young Crate Diggers episode was Dope
I was just listening to the album he did with Souls of Mischief!
amazing picks!
Good musical taste! Vince Guaraldi Trio, Portishead, David Axelrod, Arthur Verocai would be my pick.
Outstanding selections and, for real, the Verocai debut is right around 30 minutes and there's a lifetime of music in it. Like several now-classic Brazilian albums, this one was WIDELY ignored/lost/forgotten by all but a rabid few for over 3 decades (see also: Jose Mauro). Follow Verocai on Instagram. And man, do I miss a good flea market. I am surprised Younge didn't mention Roy Ayers as a major influence, but perhaps he has all the albums so it wasn't any left for him to buy and rep one of his heroes. Axelrod, amazing. I didn't know about him until 2005 even though Mo' Wax released an album in 2001 (and I wasn't listening to much mainstream hip hop which would've sampled Axelrod). Loved all Adrian's selections and will def check Eugene McDaniels as I am completely unfamiliar with that artist.
.... and I’m still playing the ‘Black Dynamite’ soundtrack!!
Heading to my local record store to buy a copy of "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"
The revolution is online ✊🏽
Me and him listen to the same music he’s got great taste :)
Adrian "curatorship" Younge!
Very choice list
He knows what’s good
guy is so cool!
phat hat, ill gloves, insane picks, cool dude.
