Yup, so nostalgic

When Asian and Black culture collide, they truly make beautiful music together! Just always make sure to respect the classics these modern artists and producers get inspiration from because I see countless people claiming “x person” is the only person who created a genre. They make these claims all while being ignorant to the history(which is often way older than they are), and all of the OGs who quietly laid the groundwork and made songs of that genre years before their favorite musicians did. Instead of trying to stick a flag on the originator, learn to love the genius behind each artists/producers rendition of music!

Of course the originators will always be respected by the artists. The only ones that pull bullshit claims are mere listeners/fans/audiences that don’t know any better. There’s always something beautiful when hip-hop that’s created beyond our own country. It’s the reason everyone loves the Beatles, who were influenced by American blues and rock. Us creators will always respect the roots of this game, as long as our different approaches are also respected and recognized.

There's nothing wrong in being "late" to something (I believe everyone finds things at their own perfect time) but if you haven't been listening to Nujabes, Dilla, or anyone else for that matter like THAT, don't front like you have. It doesn't make you any less of a fan nor does it take away what their music means to you. If anything, the main message in any real art is always to stay true to yourself. Peace.

"Some days some nights some live, some die. In the way of the Samurai." Loved Nujabes since middle school. I feel old AF 😭

Dilla's death was tragic because he knew it was coming and so used the last of his time to craft a masterpiece. Nujabes' death was tragic because it was so sudden that no one, least of all him, could have prepared for it.

While we're on the subject, I think Fat Jon should get some recognition too. He was also apart of making music along side Nujabes in Samurai Champloo.

Samurai Champloo, Nujabes and Shing02 are what got me into hip hop and lo-fi back in 2004. Thank you, KINGS!

The fact that he, and J Dilla were born on the same day is crazy

A very interesting and well researched video. And I like the calm way you presented the facts and that you got Nujabes' actual collaboration partners for interviews. Thank you a lot for this.

Amazing vid. Have been on a huge nujabes kick the last few weeks. Glad to see this in recommended.

Finally the legend Nujabes is getting the recognition he deserves, Thanks Genius!

When I show people the gem “Nujabes” they always are shocked to find out he no longer is with us R.I.P Nujabes thanks for your musical gift

Thank you for making this

Happy to see this brought up

Nujabes is still my biggest inspiration to do something what i love the most, music... And this legend appeared in my life just by making the greatest opening of all time when i was a kid

I haven't even seen the video yet. But I remember even before lo-fi was labeled "lo-fi" I remember back in the days in the early KZread people called it NuJazz and jazz-hop. I hope this video does it justice. Because some of older people who were here before remember the days of KZread channels such as ie4tbe4tz808, bob42jh, S0ulCreative, Yoosin, a.reviewer, Spreadingdopemusic, Musicforyoursoul, Mrsuicidesheep (from 2011), Returntozero, Benevolent.vibe. etc. These channels dedicated they're whole channels to NuJazz/jazzhop and everything that circled Nujabes.. Sad, many of these channels stopped uploading. But I highly recommend anyone who loves Nujabes to check them out. Man the 2010s were the days. Peace ✌🏻 - @visualinspirations

Sharp like the edge of a samurai sword...

I listen to Nujabes and feel a deep and somber, addictive sadness, as well as an appreciation. I don’t know that there are many more artists that can do that to me from just a sonic level where I can’t even understand the words. Imaginary folklore for instance....talks about being in different moments and having the positive outlook to know you’ll feel better in awhile. I didn’t look up the English translation before going through a sea of emotion. To be played that way like an instrument...maybe for once I don’t have the real words for it.

I am happy that I found lofi. I found it while I was taking a quick rest from skating and browsing on youtube. Still remember that cool breeze filled evening 2 years ago.

Nujabes FINALLY gets the recognition he deserves. Rest in Beats Nujabes.🙏

Sorry if I’m late I was not expecting this thanks for the video

I'm happy to see Substantial and Shing02 getting recognition on Genius

RIP TO NUJABES.

I honestly hadn't even heard of Nujabes before watching this video. Its clear that so much of the lofi music around takes influence from what he was doing, SUPER inspiring!

yep, listen to Shiki no Uta or Who's theme. It has been 12 years and I still felt the same as first time listening to it. such a gem.

2 years ago I watched samurai champloo and that's how I discovered nujabes. He quickly became one of my favourite artists, his music will keep on living through his fans forever 💖

The loss of Nujabes still got me hurtin. Imagine actually knowing the man. Also thanks for this video, Genius.

Rip Nujabes 1974 - 2010. Will be missed

I still remember so vividly the first time I heard Nujabes, it was a winter's night in Sydney in 2007, me and my friend were sitting in his car waiting to pick up some buds, my friend always had a much more refined taste in hip hop and when he played me luv(sic.) pt3 for the first time, it honestly changed the course of my musical interests forever. I loved shing02 on the track, but it was the beat that had me hooked. Needless to say, Nujabes has been on constant rotation ever since that winter nigh. Thank you Jun Seba.

Beautiful video.

I found nujabes when I wasn't looking, I lost him in time and had no idea. When I realised what I lost. my heart cried and still does. But I cannot describe the pride and love I have whenever I hear the soul.

I stumbled unto lofi at one of my lowest points. I was struggling with depression and had shut myself in. However, lofi led me to Samurai Shamploo, Cowboy Bebop, the music of those shows and eventually, Nujabes and J Dilla. I’m really thankful I found it all. Watching those shows and seeing the Sunflower gang and the Bebop crew seek meaning to life helped me through. Seeing all these people in the comments pay their respects fills me with warmth. There’s nothing but love here and I consider y’all friends. Let us keep the names of these legends alive, and hope that their art finds more people and fills them with luv(sic).

eyyy finally a video covering nujabes

Finally he gets recognition! Man was a genius. God I wish he was still here to see just how much he is missed.

I just remember how much preparation it took-chores, showering, meal prep-getting everything outta the way so when "Battlecry" took us into an episode of Samurai Champloo back in 2004, I wouldn't be disturbed or distracted. And this was before I even cared about who was on the track or the actual plot of SC. The way the song made me feel was indescribable.

I can't go 5 months without streaming Nujabes's music.

Hey Jacques and Genius, could you please do more videos on Lo-Fi, maybe explaining it's Origins, Artists who are influenced by the Genre and maybe more information you're able to share. Please Please Please

Thanks guys for doing this piece on one of my all-time favourite artist. amazing music really travels through time

You guys are literally reading my mind. I was just listening to a whole playlist of Nujabes this morning.

I'm so happy that Nujabes is being talked about. He made such a huge influence and i feel he deserves to have more coverage.

Love to watch this

Nujabes didn't influenced Lo-Fi, he created it

@michael lynch Why are you negative? People acknowledge Dilla too. People are just trying to show love to Nujabes. It doesn't have to be one or the other. You don't have to put someone else down to uplift someone else. like both. I respect both. Also, respect the dead. Your childish ass scouting every comment just to say stupid shit.
