I feek Paak's voice is like torn silk. His grit and rasp don't provide a super aggressive tone to his voice, it glides into anything he does but you can't ignore it
Man this record was an instant classic, Paak has to be the most underrated artist of the last few years, the guy has been so consistent and this album is the pinnacle of it, front to back this thing is just perfect and the vibes are unmatched
There is so much good Anderson Paak material out there, lol. Between his solo stuff, NxWorries, and Silk Sonic, dude has built one of the more impressive discographies of any artist of his generation. And the man is only 37. Good lawd
And in such a short time too. Dude was homeless with a family with a wife who didn’t speak English and never gave up on the music. Amazing come up story

I feel like a late 90s-early 00s neo-soul/hip hop dive would be a musical joyride for y’all idk. That (Erykah Badu/D’Angelo/Common/Mos Def/The Roots Soulquarian) era. There’s so many good releases to choose from in that regard
Anderson Paak is criminally underrated. He's such a talented drummer and on top of that mind-blowing singer and rapper. When I saw him for the first time in a festival, I still remember the happiness and energy that exuded from the performance. So much talent!
Track number seven actually samples the song molasses by the band Hiatus Kaiyote, naipalm is just the lead singer. That would be an amazing album to listen to for this channel. Choose your weapon by Hiatus Kaiyote. Definitely a cult classic
I love Andy and this album, but that track always made me want to turn it off and switch to the original. The only really great Hiatus sample flip is the "Atari" sample in Kendrick's "DUCKWORTH." imo.
I saw Anderson paak live in the Uk and he was unreal. One of the best performances I have seen and he gave some much credit to his team he worked with which is amazing👏🏼👏🏼
I was lucky enough to see Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals for the first time live at a festival, back in 2019. He was a headliner and the people I were with didnt know much about him, and I only knew him from Watsky's "Ink dont Bleed" and Mac Millers' "Dang" so I told them that he might be pretty good. It was a blast. One of the first songs he played was "Come Down" and that cemented my love for his music. It also helped that he was charismatic and funny on stage, the Free Nationals were in Kiss costumes, and he said he had met Kiss on the way there. To top it off, he ended his set with "Dang" as this was about a year after Mac had died, which was nice. While I agree "Parking Lot" doesnt GO, thats why it's probably my second favorite song off the Album. It's a sit back and chill song, especially with the story part of the lyrics. Hes talking about a night where he sat and talked in a parking lot with his love for the first time. I hope you guys get around to his other two albums.
If he likes Nai Palms voice so much then PLEASE react to Choose Your Weapon by Hiatus Kaiyote. I think he'd really enjoy the instrumentals and vocals on that album.
Instant thumbs up before watching. Your dad will LOVE this. One of my best friends bought me this on vinyl for my birthday and I’m still thankful years later.
With the song "Without you" Nai Palm is in a band called Hiatus Kaiyote which I think you both would love also, crazy good vocals, instrumentals and the drummer is an absolute monster!
it would be dope to see NXWorries at some point. Suede is what introduced to Anderson .Paak. Had already been rocking with Knxwledge, but once I found they were a collective as well, I was hooked. Then Malibu soon came, an instant classic for sure, especially with Madlib, 9th, and HiTek on there. Three of my favorite all time producers. BJ The Chicago Kid, Schoolboy Q, Talib Kweli, Rapsody, all dope features. This album is one of my favorites for sure.
I was listening to him back when he was called breezy lovejoy thinking how the hell his songs only had a couple thousands views. I'm so happy to see the well deserved success he is having!
I listened to this album years ago, but my taste must've changed because I'm just now realizing how good this is! Anderson Paak gonna be in rotation all week, i've got some albums to revisit.
a few recommendations you might like: the bucket list project, apollo xxi, harlan & alondra, 99,9%, innerspeaker, yesterday’s tomorrow, nothing happens
Nice review as always guys!! I think you should do an episode listening to Little Simz's "Sometimes I Might Be Introvert" at some point, it's trully an wonderful musical experience and I think Kevin would go absolutely crazy over that record!
i learned about this album cuz Paak featured on Mac’s album “Divine Feminine” which i loved. ever since then, he’s been my favorite artist. thank you so much for the review and i hope his other projects make it on the list too! 👍🏻 ❤
Love the review as always fellas. That rapspdy verse made me think that you would both love the rapsody album Leila’s Wisdom. I think Kevin would dig it and Connor if you haven’t heard it, it’s phenomenal. Love 🔥❤️🤙
Great reaction. Malibu is one of my favorite albums ever. It was my introduction to AP. He's a special artist, he's impossible to pigeon-hole because he can flow effortlessly through any genre he pleases and never sound out of place or overpowered. I'd love to hear your reaction to his album Venice - it was released before Malibu with little or no budget but it still has some amazing tracks on it that have massive replay value.
Loving the videos so much guys. Andy is my fave artist and this is one of my fave albums of all time. Been having a pretty rough stretch of days and just found out today my family dog passed but this video made my whole day. Love you guys, keep up the good work
So happy you listened to an Anderson .Paak album! I’d love it if you listened to Ego Death or Hive Mind by The Internet. Such a cool band that deserves more recognition imo
i was just watching the swimming reaction yesterday and wondered when you guys would cover this record after you mentioned the road trip lol. excited for this one
It's crazy how I already seen the uncut and I still wait for TH-cam version like it's any different lmaooooo but love you guys and WAITIKG FOR SMINO NEW ALBUM MAN YOU GUYS WOULD LOVE AND A NEW LISTEN FOR BOTH
I remember loving this album in 2016 and it's only grown on me since. Anderson .Paak is so damn talented I feel like he doesn't have a bad song or feature.
I randomly listened to this album again this morning and was thinking about how cool it would be if you reacted to it. Next thing I see is this. What a timing!
Amazing video as always gents. I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail, seriously one of my favourite albums of all time. Anderson .Paak is on another level! One thing I have to comment on because it stuck out like a sore thumb was that neither of you know Nai Palm (pronounced like napalm)! Seriously you guys need to do a Hiatus Kaiyote album at some point. They are a legendary neo soul band! Choose Your Weapon is such a sick album
There are standout tracks, but this is an album I almost always put on front to back. Let it run. The whole damn thing is good. In a way, I almost see this album as one entity, instead of single tracks.
I laughed so hard when you smiled at the camera after saying “Two dudes in a hot tub but”. 🤣 slick censor, we were on the same cue in that conversation in my head.
I first heard Paak at Dr. Dre's Compton too and already love it. Since then i follow everything this man do. Hes one of my favorites artist of all time
I feek Paak's voice is like torn silk. His grit and rasp don't provide a super aggressive tone to his voice, it glides into anything he does but you can't ignore it
"torn silk" is an incredible, and accurate way to describe.
Wow what a scholar. “Torn Silk”…. Amazing
Man this record was an instant classic, Paak has to be the most underrated artist of the last few years, the guy has been so consistent and this album is the pinnacle of it, front to back this thing is just perfect and the vibes are unmatched
I swear I couldn’t stop playing this all year
100%, im so glad he had big success with silk sonic
Wouldn’t call him underrated - over 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
@@chiefhardy6312 luckily hes gotten a lot of significant mainstream popularity after silk sonic
@@chiefhardy6312 silk sonic definitely helped but when I say underrated it’s cause I think this guy should be one of the biggest names in the world
There is so much good Anderson Paak material out there, lol. Between his solo stuff, NxWorries, and Silk Sonic, dude has built one of the more impressive discographies of any artist of his generation. And the man is only 37. Good lawd

Loved the Vine reference
This is one of my favorite albums ever. Helped me through a deep depression.
has helped me during some tough times as well, great vives
Same!! I was living in my car when I first discovered this album. I listened to it every day for months.
Underrated and often overlooked song on this album is for me is Parking Lot. It’s a brilliant expression of nostalgia and the groove is tight.
That song has such a nostalgic vibe to it for some reason. I could never out my finger on why though
One of my favorite songs oat
best song on the album
EXACTLY. SO special to me
One of the best songs of all time
Malibu is in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. So many special memories with this one
What are the other 4?
@@sjaakkielzog314 Oxnard, Ventura, Venice, An Evening With Silk Sonic
@@TomasZombieDogGame haha nice
The groove of this album is insane. It never stops, but it never overwhelms the listener. .Paak puts on a clinic here. It's a 10. Thanks, y'all!
I feel like a late 90s-early 00s neo-soul/hip hop dive would be a musical joyride for y’all idk. That (Erykah Badu/D’Angelo/Common/Mos Def/The Roots Soulquarian) era. There’s so many good releases to choose from in that regard
Feel like they would love Voodoo by D’angelo. Kevin would really appreciate the drumming
@@bennynthedecks maybe brown sugar?
They need to do J Dilla’s Donuts after they get through some of those!!
The Season/Carry Me still my favorite from Anderson.
Fr
just recently listened to this album for the first time. i can definitely agree with you on this
Anderson Paak is criminally underrated. He's such a talented drummer and on top of that mind-blowing singer and rapper. When I saw him for the first time in a festival, I still remember the happiness and energy that exuded from the performance. So much talent!

100000% what an album, what an incredible band and vocalist 😍
I love Andy and this album, but that track always made me want to turn it off and switch to the original. The only really great Hiatus sample flip is the "Atari" sample in Kendrick's "DUCKWORTH." imo.
pleaseeee @turningthetables do choose your weapon!
God I love hiatus
so glad your dad liked this record, can’t wait for the eventual “Ventura” reaction.. one of my favourite albums of the 2010s
The replayability this albums has on me! So happy to see you both react
His tiny desk version of heart don’t stand a chance is ❤❤❤
I saw Anderson paak live in the Uk and he was unreal. One of the best performances I have seen and he gave some much credit to his team he worked with which is amazing👏🏼👏🏼
Honestly this! I’d heard two songs on a work playlist but didn’t know home well. I saw him at wireless in maybe 2014. I was mind blown 😌

Only 2 other albums? I count 3: Venice, Oxnard, Ventura. Four if you count Silk Sonic
5 if you count nxwrries. Plenty more if you count EP's and his Breezy Lovejoy content too ;) he's got a LOT of hidden gems js
First discovered Anderson on his iconic Tiny Desk concert. Listened to this straight after that and thought it was an absolutely awesome record.
Haven't even watched or looked at the comments yet and I already know your dad is going to love this one.
If he likes Nai Palms voice so much then PLEASE react to Choose Your Weapon by Hiatus Kaiyote. I think he'd really enjoy the instrumentals and vocals on that album.
Even their debut Tawk Tomahawk is godtier music, but I’d kill to see them react to Breathing Underwater and Atari
Yes please
Another instalment of Kevin and Connor making me appreciate an album even more
yoooo so happy you guys did this one! this is one of my absolute favorite albums of all-time!
Really glad to hear the love for Celebrate. One of my favorite songs of all time
I want Celebrate played at my funeral. Song always helps me appreciate my life whenever it comes on
Instant thumbs up before watching. Your dad will LOVE this. One of my best friends bought me this on vinyl for my birthday and I’m still thankful years later.
Awesome that u did this record, one of my absolute all-time favorites
I legit just listened to this whole album again for the first time in over a year today. The timing is wild
OMG I can’t believe you reacted to this , this is one of the most underrated Album ever and one of my all time favourite Album.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!!!!! I LOVE PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK
With the song "Without you" Nai Palm is in a band called Hiatus Kaiyote which I think you both would love also, crazy good vocals, instrumentals and the drummer is an absolute monster!
Been waiting for Hiatus Kaiyote to appear on this channel as well.
Anderson Paaks album Ventura is one of my favorites. Hope you guys get there eventually!! ❤️
it would be dope to see NXWorries at some point. Suede is what introduced to Anderson .Paak. Had already been rocking with Knxwledge, but once I found they were a collective as well, I was hooked.

loved the two bros chilling in a hot tub reference by connor after heart don’t stand a chance 😂
I love albums like this where you know every person in the studio had an absolute blast
I feel like you two would LOVE his tiny desk concert. So much skill and talent expressed there.
So hyped y'all FINALLY got to this reaction!!!
Am I Wrong is such a vibe
Pomo produced it, that's why!
I was listening to him back when he was called breezy lovejoy thinking how the hell his songs only had a couple thousands views. I'm so happy to see the well deserved success he is having!
I listened to this album years ago, but my taste must've changed because I'm just now realizing how good this is! Anderson Paak gonna be in rotation all week, i've got some albums to revisit.
Been waiting for this for so long!! So grateful you guys did it. Keep being the best
soooo happy you did this album it’s one of my all time favourites
I'd love for you guys to do Solange's "A Seat at The Table", an incredible album.
Honestly Lite Weight is my favorite on my album don't think it gets the love it deserves
agreed
For real, it’s a shame it’s often dismissed as an interlude or underwhelming track. It’s unreal
💯💯
definitely one of my favourite albums

Amazing album. Love the vibes of this whole masterpiece
have been watching you a lot lately, makes me so happy to see the way you guys both talk and are passionate about music, thanks for being here!!!

Not sure if y’all got my DM on Twitter but I suggested this album! So glads it’s being done. My next one after that was SchoolBoy Q
Loved this video! Anderson is from my hometown Oxnard and gives back so much to us. Makes free festivals and free concerts ❤️
Anderson Paak is from my hometown, dope he has put it on the map

Surprised it took so long for this album!! Absolute classic!
This a classic bro. Anderson a future legend 🙌🏾🔥
One of the greatest albums I ever heard fr still bang til this day
I remember loving this album in 2016 and it's only grown on me since. Anderson .Paak is so damn talented I feel like he doesn't have a bad song or feature.
Love this record, hope you guys keep reacting to his other albums, also Kevin probably would like Black Pumas
Thank god I just found this video. One of my favorite albums of all time
I remember hearing The Waters for the first time. Absolute heat
Fav album! Best live performer I've ever seen
please do Oxnard and Ventura, his discography is unbelievable
I love the vine reference and the look at the camera at 10:42

I laughed so hard when you smiled at the camera after saying “Two dudes in a hot tub but”. 🤣 slick censor, we were on the same cue in that conversation in my head.
wtf just heard this record for the first time today excellent timing
I swear you guys always review albums as soon as I listen to them I just finished this album and got the notification that you uploaded this
I first heard Paak at Dr. Dre's Compton too and already love it. Since then i follow everything this man do. Hes one of my favorites artist of all time
THANK YOU! For doing Paak!!! The world needs to know who he is ❤
