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!!! :>))
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!!!
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. 🌇 🚗 🎵
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 ..
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.
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.
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)
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!!!
WOW, classic African + Rap = Genius!! Beautiful surprise, Esperanza & Q-Tip, Robert Glasper is among this century's best arrangers and composers, etc. !!
Rob G qui s'est dit "tiens on va mettre des mots français random ensemble, ça sonne bien" ... ET LE PIRE C'EST QUE ÇA MARCHE !!! xD That shit bossin' as always. Robert, please please, oooh please don't stop putting those sounds my our ears. Love from France
I've been following This Queen Goddess Brilliance Before My Late Mother Passed Over A Decade Ago....... You Esperanza gave my late mother joy as well as me on PBS.... Television ....... Phenomenal Vocalist ..... Bassist..... And the Thelonius Monk Disciple Robert Glasper ..... Soothes ME ..... Then the Hip Hop Brilliance of Hip Hop Master Q Tip ????? Sets This Piece In Motion,........ Why We Speak ????? STOP!!!!!! STOP!!!!!!! THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING .,...... THE RACIAL HATRED TOWARDS ANY COLOR ....... AND THE GENOCIDE....... WARS ........ STOP!!!!!!! BRUTALITIES......... LEARN 2 LOVE !!!!!!! LOVE!!!!!!! LOVE ??? LOVE !!!!!! ✌🏿❤️❤️❤️
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
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"
Yes what a tuneage, three legends Robert Gasper, the amazing Esperanza Spalding and the legend that is Qtip, you all have just made my year. Just waiting on my vinyl to be delivered, feel blessed to hear and feel this in my life 💜🎵 Thank you xxxxx
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 ✨
This one rivals 'Better Than I Imagined' which I love so much. I also appreciate the arrangements n lyrical content here n Q-tip + Esperanza certainly sweetened the pot. Robert u did well per usual. Kudos! Continued Blessings 🙏🌺
I just found about this song cuz at first listen I was like, “when les nubians drop this funky bop?”. Wild how fleeting that moment was since Espy and QTip have signatures all over this track 🔥🔥🔥
First Chris Brown , now Drake with the jazzy hateration ! True music lovers been on to and loving Glasper and Esperanza - and this is a fantastic voyage of a jam 🎶 💜🌞
¡Universal music shared by universal thoughts! Thank you for uplifting and mind blowing inspiration through your outstanding work - Black Radio is infusing and connecting us with universal love ✨⭐💫
Oh how do I love this man-- Robert Glazer. This song to me is like the picture in my history book back in high school that I always remember -- of the people in the Opium den back in the 1920s/1930s. I am hooked up to this song like that! Esperanza sounds ultra-beautiful and Q-tip always been my favorite. Yes @L.Daniels Les Nubians does come to mind. They had a great album too.
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
Its medicine. Pure medicine.
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!✊🏿
Esperanza Spaulding is a powerhouse and is an unmatched musician. She uses her voice as an instrument. Get in tuned with her.
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.
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.
Two years later and this song is still on repeat! So good!
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
can't believe we live in the same generation as these musical genius
A Glasper & Dilla project would have been a timeless piece of art, love and memories .
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!!
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 😱🙏🏾💯🎤
Vibezz~
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
Yessss
Greatness + Greatness = this Robert Glasper + Esperanza Spalding = this
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.
the melody is beautiful
Standing Ovation!!!!!! This song is absolutely perfection!!!!
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.
Dope
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.
You're absolutely right - he's the heir apparent to George. Big G woulda been all over this is he was still here. May he rest in power and harmony.
He does it every time!!! Create nothing but masterpieces!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Say That! I totally agree! NOTE: You stated : Truth & Facts" PERIODTTT!! 💯🔥💣🎼🎶🎵🎤🥁🎹❤️
Yes he does💕💕💕
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
Powerful song, so powerful. It made me think about questions like "Who Am I?" and "What/Why Do We Speak?".
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
Sing it Esperanza. 🎶 This is a total vibe. Robert Glasper needs his flowers like yesterday!!
Global Black unity❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just what my soul needed to hear after a long, mentally draining day at work! Thank you! 🥰 🙏🏾 🤗
WOW, classic African + Rap = Genius!! Beautiful surprise, Esperanza & Q-Tip, Robert Glasper is among this century's best arrangers and composers, etc. !!
Those chords on that organ . The bass and drums with the vocals omgah!!! ❤❤❤❤
Esperanza Spalding qui chante en français de si belles paroles avec Robert Glasper et Q-Tip!!!! ❤🙏🌞🌟
De si belles paroles ? Nan mais tu rigoles j'espère ? 🤣🤣
T'as conscience que les paroles en français n'ont ni queue ni tête ?
@@esmeralda8361 Ça ne veut rien dire, mais c'est beau 😂
@@esmeralda8361 il aurait du caster les nubians pour ce son.
Wow! I’ve never heard of this amazing artist before the 2023 Grammy Awards. This is the type of soothing music 🎶 I absolutely desire!❤❤
✨️👊🏽👑....freedom of expression🦋🎤 🤎✨️🎶🎵🎼...the joy of creating ,evolving 🦋🌟🪄💖🔥
Rob G qui s'est dit "tiens on va mettre des mots français random ensemble, ça sonne bien" ... ET LE PIRE C'EST QUE ÇA MARCHE !!! xD
That shit bossin' as always.
Robert, please please, oooh please don't stop putting those sounds my our ears.
Love from France
Ça rend super bien mais par contre ça fait 6 fois je la réécoute ça veut vraiment rien dire mdrrrr
Sometimes the English words don't "go together" either. Lol. But like you said, it works. 🤗

Fackin Mental....sublime vibes, rhymes and melodies. Ths man never disappoints...bravo RG!!!!!
Can't stop listening to this song. May be Song of the Year in my book.
Three greats… I clicked like immediately. After listening, I know that I did the right thing.
Such a breath of fresh air with raindrops of beauty and pleasure tickling the inside of the ear. Yeah!
Shout out to Les Nubians because this is their sound all day because this is my favorite group, hands down. What a sugar cut!
Yesssss!!!!

This is so soothing and jazzy! Love Esperanza+robG+q-tip!!! I’m so happy we finally got the black radio3!!!
Favorite song on the album. Just puts me in the best mood.
The Abstract Poet. ✊🏾
I saw Esperanza in concert & man that voice is just pure beauty. Concert I will never forget .
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"
I'm so fervently wishing that i spoke French now! I can pick up a little here and there but not nearly enough. So elegant and inspiring.
This flows like spring water coming off a cool waterfall with a summer breeze. So refreshing.
This is mad groovy! Peace from Key West, FL .
This should have billions of views. What the heck do people be listening to!?
OMG!!!!! How beautiful is this????? It's great to hear from Q Tip again. Always a pleasure.
Yes what a tuneage, three legends Robert Gasper, the amazing Esperanza Spalding and the legend that is Qtip, you all have just made my year. Just waiting on my vinyl to be delivered, feel blessed to hear and feel this in my life 💜🎵 Thank you xxxxx
Just when I thought I couldn't be any more attracted to little Miss beautiful Esperanza Spalding! 🥰 Mr. Glasper, you are ALWAYS Next Level!!

This Makes The Blunt Burn Ever Smoothly To One Hellova Flow... LuvUp
Well, now and more than ever, I dream about a brand new album of Q-Tip on a collab with Robert Glasper...
No doubt it would be epic.

King Rob✊ never seize to amaze... what a beautiful rendition...❤
Love this song!!! It’s so innovative and refreshing. Robert, Esperanza, and Q-tip are absolutely amazing together on this song 💕💕
Esperanza, Glasper &Qtip on top...all the necessary ingredients for an aquarius song! Goes right to the core...smack dab in the centre!
Absolutely beautiful, this song is going to be timeless .🍃🍃
This gives me 'I Am the Black Gold of the Sun' by Nuyorican Soul vibes. Liquid sunshine ☀️
Heard this on 91.9 FM WCLK in Atlanta, splendid music indeed...
Alors la c est du lourd

I'm a huge Robert Glasper fan. I'm also a huge Qtip/tribe fan. This song is so beautifully done.
It's giving Flora Purim vibes from my childhood. Love this ❤️

These circles and cycles go round though you even spin it
But you stoppin it when your shoulder is a reminder

Driving aimlessly around with nowhere to stay to
She ain't the should be them, the vibes like an abstract poet
