This is so jazz! Random People moving all about all around the musicians, Thundercat looked like he just popped in by looking at how Terrace reacted when he realized who jumped on the bass. Derrick Hodge, like a groupie, excitingly recording Thundercat playing...only to be disrupted by the bass chord or something accidentally clicked off and helping power back up the bass. Glasper chilling, improvising, joking around, taking a sip, etc. Kamasi in the zone oblivious to all that around him and holding his ground while slaying that sax. So much chaos yet still kept together for an amazing performance. 😁

strokesoco it’s so validating that you’re doing this because it is pure substance. That is incredibly rare. I love kendrick lamar and untitled 05 was already one of if not my favorite hip hop songs. Coming across this for the first time validated so many things that go beyond music. Not that this alone is the ultimate validation because there have been plenty of things. This just sticks out to me because of how many connections it has for me and with things beyond myself. Getting back to kendrick, i love him but I think it’s clear the majority of his fans aren’t really there for the pure substance. It’s not that black and white with people usually so I am generalizing of course but you sort of have to. Seeing these guys... Dave Chapelle, the musicians themselves, all of it, with this song and the way they played it. It speaks to that truth of a deeper purer reality with more substance beyond all of the superficial that in my personal journey has shown to pervade every part of my immediate surroundings as well as society as a whole. I hope this doesn’t just sound like nonsense to you but yeah, I was just tearing up listening to this reflecting on Dwyane Wade (amazing human and basketball player who’s retiring and he’s part of these connections for me) and just reflecting on certain things in my life right now, how much self criticism and hate seems to be so tied to me and such and I was just tearing up a bit which I’m not an emotional person and I don’t think I’m capable of fully crying lol because I haven’t done it since I was 12 or so but every once in a while I get these moments of deep clarity and connection to these things and tonight was a pretty strong one, so yeah I really mean it when I say this is powerful to me.
