QuestLove is a huge music nerd and collector himself, the artists that have crazy music knowledge too are always the best and they understand how much more insane his research is when he has items even the artists don’t own because they’re so rare.
Given all of that and the fact that Questlove is a human music library and he was still awestruck by Nardwuar. Nardwuar must have connections EVERYWHERE.
If you haven't seen the 45 minute version, it's super worth it. It's beautiful. This one is kinda rapid fire, but questlove spends most of the other one laughing in astonishment and nerding out over history
Questlove is so shocked by the Roctober/Soul Train Chicago gift, he can't speak for about 42secs (since it's Nardwuar, I felt the need to be very precise.) Most interviewers can't hang on basically dead air (Questlove can barely put words together) but this is where Nardwuar thrives.
What's iconic about the close microphone hold is that it's so invasive, but the artists have to have such instant respect for Nardwuar due to the value of what he is gifting them, even it makes them uncomfortable it's almost wrong to ask Nardwuar to back away because how can you?
These 2 are kindred spirits, bc they do virtually the same thing: unearth underground music history. The only difference is Nardwuar makes it personal, while Quest publishes to educate the masses
Nardwuar essentially turns these rappers into “nerds” for a moment. He has the same level of knowledge, passion, and obscure memorabilia that you’d find with a dedicated Trekkie, but for the music business.
what i love about this is - at the beginning Questlove is like "you usually wait till 4 questions in and then give the sucker punch." Little does he realise a few questions later Nardwaur will have him close to tears!
Questlove and Nardwuar are such good friends. I can imagine Questlove is also a really really really good friend to have in the business. Not only through the Roots but from being the house band on the biggest talk show basically.
I saw Questlove at “A concert for Charlottesville” after the unite the right rally in 2019. It was a really depressing time in Virginia and we all just really needed some music full of SOUL... Questlove and the roots really brought it all that night, and this guy rocked my world with his performance. Brilliant drummer and individual, what a great musician.
When Quest still lived in Philly we'd run into him at a Phillies game, diner , random event , local record store , etc. & always genuinely approachable & cool breezy .. had me crackin up when he facetimed Lin-Manuel Miranda who was filming for a Drunken History episode .. I digress, but Quest also did a Drunken History segment on 'the origins of hip-hop' I believe.. . Anyway , let's be honest - drummers rule ;P
I think there's a good chance Nardwuar is psychic. He's gotten people TOO damn good in a few interviews I've been a huge fan of him for years. He's just the best.
these aren't so much interviews as they are Nard blowing their minds with his endless well of deep cuts of obscure knowledge,that pertain to them on profound/poignant levels.
LOL I LOVE QUESTLOVE lol nardwuar deserves great interviewees like him, questlove deserves great interviewers who shower him with priceless things like him LOL
"Do you know who really shot Kennedy?" Jack Lawrence shot him in the head, Charles Harrelson (Woody's father) shot him in the throat, and Malcolm Wallace shot him in his upper back. There were 8 shooters.
I love when artists like this truly appreciate the magic Nardwuar brings to the table!
The knowledge of these two combined is rain man level
I was going to write something but I couldn't do it better than this exact words. Probs!
Questlove is true artists
Nardwuar seems to have this uncanny ability to bring out the best emotions in people.
Probably the best indicator of how cool a musician is as a person is how they interact with Nardwuar.
QuestLove is a huge music nerd and collector himself, the artists that have crazy music knowledge too are always the best and they understand how much more insane his research is when he has items even the artists don’t own because they’re so rare.
Yes and Questlove made some movies about black music too!
Given all of that and the fact that Questlove is a human music library and he was still awestruck by Nardwuar. Nardwuar must have connections EVERYWHERE.
“Do you know who shot Kennedy?”
*Nardwuar avoids question*
HE KNOWS
He looked like he was about to give the answer
If you haven't seen the 45 minute version, it's super worth it. It's beautiful. This one is kinda rapid fire, but questlove spends most of the other one laughing in astonishment and nerding out over history
When does Nardwuar get the Order of Canada medal?
Harper only gives it to greedy thieves aka bankers/politicians
Dude why da fuck u got my photo nigga
If I was famous I'd only do Nardwuar interviews
Questlove seems like such a genuine and appreciative guy. Bar none the best Nardwuar interview to date.
Quest is really the best for these interviews because he's such a music nerd historian himself.
Questlove is so real I love it.
"You have discombobulated!?!?!?....." ive never seen an artists eyes light up like that in a Nardwuar interview
You are a Canadian treasure.
You bring so much happiness to everyone. You’re the definition of how journalists should be. So great brother
Questlove is so shocked by the Roctober/Soul Train Chicago gift, he can't speak for about 42secs (since it's Nardwuar, I felt the need to be very precise.)

you're not in the house
Hey, Questlove's in the house.
Processing Mind HAHAHAHAHAHA, Questlove, you're not in the house.
You're nowhere.
Questlove, I’m your father.
Aaron Tatti *tyler cries*
(Nardwuar one week before the interview on while scrolling eBay)
"I'm going to destroy this man."
Impossible not to love seeing him turning back into a child again at 4:48
I don't care what anyone says,
Questlove is definitely in the house
I'm Questlove's father
@@izrealquintana1903 He is Questlove's father

This one never fails to brighten my day

This got me in tears. So nostalgic. So much love for the music.
This is what society should aspire to be. Bringing each other nothing but love.
Omg. This is a total gem. The good shit starts straight from the top of the episode!
what i love about this is - at the beginning Questlove is like "you usually wait till 4 questions in and then give the sucker punch."
Little does he realise a few questions later Nardwaur will have him close to tears!
I'm 4 minutes in and its just Nardwuar giving Questlove records and Questlove laughing out of astonishment
Love the reaction Nardwuar got from Questlove. The best interview!
This is the best interview the nardmeister has done
Nardwuar, you are amazing. Thanks for everything.
Questlove and Nardwuar are such good friends. I can imagine Questlove is also a really really really good friend to have in the business. Not only through the Roots but from being the house band on the biggest talk show basically.
questlove is such a gem. such an underrated nardwuar interview
The original 9min interview is worth the watch
This is probably in my top 5 Nardwuar interviews.
I saw Questlove at “A concert for Charlottesville” after the unite the right rally in 2019. It was a really depressing time in Virginia and we all just really needed some music full of SOUL... Questlove and the roots really brought it all that night, and this guy rocked my world with his performance. Brilliant drummer and individual, what a great musician.

Nardwuar really does an amazing job with his interviews! I love watching these :D
Quest's laugh gives me life.
nardwuar is a time traveler
1991tbriggs that explains everything finally I can die happy with this information
Do yourself a favour and listen to the full interview. It is beautiful
Even Questlove the literal human music library got humbled by the Nard

Questlove......I'm your father.

Right
Back
I'm in tears.
Nardwar is a freaking music encyclopedia
3:05 to 3:09
greatest reaction i have ever seen
The fanzine moment. Omg. Tears.
Interview is magic.
The fact Nardwuar spoke to correct him by stating he does it for the moment of joy is amazing, and i totally get that
I am grateful you didn’t become an engineer Nardwuar. You are a bringer of joy and information.
"But...how did you know where to find me?"
"You are Bin Laden, we HAVE to know."
God i loved this
woah, aren't you a white supremacist
@@Adrian-Abu ?
Questlove for your health
the level of specificity is amazing. nardwuar is on another level
Questlove has found his match a man who's music knowledge exceeds his own
When two giants of music knowledge clash, except instead of clashing they just mesh
4:18 4th question and sucker punch come
nardwuar is historian. and history is science about footnotes.
Questlove is so freakin humble man
I think there's a good chance Nardwuar is psychic. He's gotten people TOO damn good in a few interviews
I've been a huge fan of him for years. He's just the best.
Robyn I'm seeing this 2 years later and he's great
these aren't so much interviews as they are Nard blowing their minds with his endless well of deep cuts of obscure knowledge,that pertain to them on profound/poignant levels.
Quest loves the best because he gets how much nardwuar appreciates history
Questlove is the real deal. Love this.
Nardwuar the Memory Server. Servin’ up memories to artists.
LOL I LOVE QUESTLOVE lol nardwuar deserves great interviewees like him, questlove deserves great interviewers who shower him with priceless things like him LOL
NARDWAR was a Cherub in a past life.

Questlove's in the house
"I live for giving joy!"
At 8:36 Nardwuar almost break character man.🤠🤠🤠🤠
Nardwuar: *Gives thing*
Questlove: LMAO
Hope Pharell sees this :)
5:10 that’s how a man says I’ve already cried inside.
This guy learned to love legacy
quest love is a little happy drunk isn't he ?
This brings me so much joy.
5:10 rly sounded like kid cudi
After he retired. We need a Nardwuar documentary and his tricks and tips on he does this 😂🔥🔥🔥
Nardwar is possibly the greatest journalist alive.
This is my new favorite one.
Don's lookin' like a Boss on that magazine cover.
You should get glasspopcorn.
He's getting tortured
Probably Nardwuar's biggest combo.... MK style
"he could pull Michael jackson back from the dead" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Do you know who really shot Kennedy?"
Jack Lawrence shot him in the head, Charles Harrelson (Woody's father) shot him in the throat, and Malcolm Wallace shot him in his upper back. There were 8 shooters.
At 8:56 is laughing in his head man.
why does this only have 100k views wtf???
Please keep doing this!
Love ?uestlove, so humble and so good.
"I hate when you do this".....
...."I Love when you do this"❤❤❤❤❤
Priceless.
Still my fav interview
Confirmed nard knows who shot jfk
Has to be the best reaction
Highly intelligent Investigative reporter or psychic. One or the other
Oh man he was so touched
