So dope, I love Anderson Paak, he's super talented. I hope you guys do mac miller's tiny concert next.

@@frontroom awesome thank you I'll go check it out. Love all your guy's content, keep it comin.

[@cencalgrizzlyraider5263]

@@frontroom I hope you guys are able to do a reaction to Make It Better by Anderson .Paak some day. Also, not sure if you've ever heard of an artist named DRAM but I think your dad would really enjoy his music, Cooking With Grease, Sweet VA Breeze & Something About Us are good ones. Thanks again for all the content you guys put out, much love🖤

[@Dannydarko27]

Not rap, but a insane NPR tiny desk your Dad might enjoy is by Superorganism. Best way i can describe it is "music just being music"

[@hebrewmama]

Erykah Badu said about Anderson.Paak that he feels like a friend you haven’t seen in a long time but whenever you do it’s like no time has passed by I feel like that describes his music the best

[@stinastogs]

In "The Heart Don't Stand A Chance" He's doing a Dilla style beat where the hi-hat is actually lazily BEHIND the beat. Very hard for live drummers to emulate. Questlove also masters it, and these drummers are few and far between (AND TO SING ON TOP IS MONUMENTAL). You guys are spot on in recognizing the intricacies of this man's talent! Enjoy you two so much. Thank you for letting us into these beautiful moments!

[@kaiiil4227]

hes also not just playing the hi hat behind the beat, im pretty sure he is anticipating the snare hit, which just adds to the craziness of that beat

[@Tadaia]

You just hit on a key difference and nuance between R&B/Funk vs Rock... the former (and its instrumentation) in general tends to be slightly behind the beat, the latter often slightly aggressive over the beat. I love all genres and play multiple instruments. Transitioning from playing R&B to Rock and vice versa can be humorous because it takes a bit to get my timing back in sync.

[@vredeling]

Anderson Paak, Thundercat, JD Beck, Domi, Bruno Mars, Leon Bridges... Let's just enjoy this revival of real musical talent.

[@melissaandjosh6210]

100% this !!!

[@Cupofgo]

And August Green!

[@dramasoldier8669]

As if it ever died…

[@jambulance]

And Hiatus Kaiyote!

[@lesleyd2448]

💯💯

[@ALDA2479]

Paak is such a true musician goes way deeper then rap to keep beat while also rapping is not easy at all the man is truly talented

[@onicafoster6480]

Yiu guys would LOVE Masego. He is a true creative... sings, plays seversl instruments, snd has an amazing ear.

[@Sayin42]

Anderson has such an infectious smile, such a great smile and matching energy

[@Poopoopoopoopoopoopoopoo]

I love the relationship kai has with his dad. He seems like a really cool chill guy and it obviously rubbed off on him too.

[@seantherevelator4896]

I was rhe same way, my dad and I were best friends. Lost him at 52 from a surprise heart attack. I'll never get over it. Music was our thing and now its been years and I still can't pick the guitar up again yet

[@pastense]

Anderson as a drummer is better than about 70% of industry drummers! And the simultaneous singing/rapping makes him such a rarity

[@Nr4747]

Anderson Paak and Mac Miller actually did a great collab song together called "Dang" that is actually even more relevant in retrospect.

[@brit331]

Yes! I would love for them to respond to this

[@Sayin42]

Anderson Paak drummed at the Superbowl with Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop, Kendrick Lamar, 50cent & Mary J

[@KamandaHickey]

One of my favorite Tiny Desk 👌🏾 I discovered Anderson Paak thanks to this and since I absolutely love his music and his style. His album “Malibu” is amazing.

[@taylorfry7680]

Yes, some Malibu love. Such an underrated album 😭

[@Itsalwaysbeenaboutme1844]

Yes, Same here!

[@norwoodsstokes3883]

​@@taylorfry7680....factz....🎯🎯🎯🎯💯

[@nattywho]

You picked one of my favorite artists…this was really good! My boyfriend and I love to watch Tiny Desk performances and we will watch this together, when I get home!

[@nerdlarge4691]

I discovered Paak with his "Yes Lawd" collaborative album with Knxwledge on the legendary Stones Throw Label(Suede can from the album btw). I recommend the "Scared Money" song from that album as something to react to or listen to for anyone interested.

[@peters4115]

This is my go-to bg music for having guests over, he’s just such a vibe. You can just tell this guy is a MUST to see live!

[@notes4170]

If you watch Usher's Tiny Desk, they actually show the audience...and it is a great tiny desk!!!! enjoy!

[@badzula93]

I saw him live, it was amazing, he's one of my favorites along with the free nationals! Thanks for covering this!

[@LoneStarTint]

You have to do Smokin out the Window. Ur dad would love it!!

[@youngnoble4276]

Does dad even know how ON POINT he is whenever he listens to any artist for the first time? Whether it is Anderson .Paak or all the way over to 2pac

[@cousinnvlad7432]

Love showing this performance to people

[@willking9472]

Thank you for following through with the .Paak recommendation! Can’t wait for this one, he is definitely going to vibe to that!

[@willking9472]

Since he likes .Paak and Mac please show him Dang! I think he would really appreciate that collab! Another fantastic video though.

[@seantherevelator4896]

Paak is legend. His vocal control and rasp.... plus his rhythm...............AS HE SINGS just true musicianship all around

[@veedopeness]

I hope you guys never stop the bond of music 🥲

[@veedopeness]

And good choice of all the good Tiny Desk’s 👏🏼

[@lesleyd2448]

Andy’s got it all. Talent, personality, his love for music, and can’t help but love his smile. He was taught how to play drums in church. Yes Lawd!! 🔥🔥 sub’d ❤️

[@lesleyd2448]

I was like, uh oh your dad is about to hear SUEDE 😂😂

[@venusreels9953]

Lisa Fisher "how can I ease the pain"... She was the back up singer for Luther her vocals are amazing... Please your dad should hear her if he hasn't... Will definitely give you the

[@free1855]

Thank you! She deserves a reaction to her live version.

[@Greatness810]

Anderson and the Free Nationals performance at Coachella is an amazing watch. Also Raphael Saadiq with Lucky Daye is a great Tiny Desk

[@drebrown99]

Great Reaction... Anderson Paaks Tiny desk performance was a breath of fresh air... He's a generational talent

[@BarbButler]

Anderson Paak brought me here… lovely reaction!! Subscribed!! 💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥

[@ChefPope76]

I love the vibe you both share. You should review this album and let your dad enjoy the studio art this album has. Im a big .Paak fan. Thanks for sharing the views you both do💯

[@devildog9167]

Nice! Afterwards, you should do Erykah Badu's Tiny Desk performance. I love her rendition of Green Eyes.

[@frontroom]

Green Eyes is one of my all time favourite songs. Thinking of doing Mamas Gun first as a whole album and then the tiny desk!

[@stormieweather8049]

Mama’s Gun is my favorite album of hers and her Tiny Desk along with this one get played constantly in my home

[@bmartin4549]

Yes please

[@activistbook3809]

yaaaasssss

[@Jigganaut2000]

This was awesome. As a father and a son this has actually inspired me.

[@laticiadavis8627]

This was my first time watching this tiny desk concert, I must say I truly enjoyed watching it with you both I actually learned a few things listening to your commentary. Miracles and blessings to you and yours ✌️ 💜.

[@lynetteminute]

In case y'all didn't already know, Bruno and Anderson perform as a duo called Silk Sonic (since Bruno was mentioned).

[@iamhereblossom1588]

[@lynetteminute]

@@iamhereblossom1588 😉 I figured it was prob mentioned because he usually brings research to each video, but I didn't catch it. Good looking out.

[@BigCrossVita]

I can't remember what show I first saw Anderson Paak but he was performing at an award show. And it was a new song but the kids stood to their feet just bcuz of the groove. I was hooked. I love his old school sound and that raspy voice 🤗 He is extremely talented.

[@jackpowell9276]

I absolutely LOVE this session. This might be one of the funkiest videos on youtube ever. Sublime and Paak just oozes cool.

[@l.h7680]

Ahhh yes, Anderson Paak live 💕🎶. One of my favorites on the Tiny Desk

[@steveresquir8500]

About drumming… you guys were saying how even talking while drinking is hard. Check out Dave Chappell’s Block Party and there is a part where Quest Live is drumming and is directing the artists at the same time. I will try and find the minute marker when I get a chance. It’s pretty amazing.

[@acceptinglife6491]

I love that video!

[@vredeling]

Another great artist. Big fan.

[@NaestyVision]

Been watching you videos for a while now and to so see the joy and discovery in your fathers face when listening to some of the best poetry every created is amazing. Music truly is a universal language.

[@tevitavakalahi7764]

Enjoy those good times with your pops moments you will be blessed with the memories. Love watching y’all videos

[@nixsta]

Been dying to see this exact reaction!!

[@cloud9847]

the thing that I love the most about Paak and Mars both is their music ALWAYS leaves you smiling. You simply can not listen to their music without being in a better mood. It's impossible. Effortless Swag definitely describes both of them.

[@Brandon.T]

Hey fellas!!! Thank you for the channel and good work you're doing. As someone who has played drums since I was 12 (29 now) and plenty of live gigs, I can affirm that A Paak is a stellar drummer. This is my favorite tiny desk 100% because of that.

[@frontroom]

Nice to have that confirmation on Paak's drumming, Brandon So crisp and interesting. Love it! - Kai's dad

[@Brandon.T]

@@frontroom Keep on keepin' on.

[@tamikawright5954]

I watch your videos all the time but y'all commenting on this one is what made me subscribe, great job!!! I'm about to go watch his tiny desk again....xoxo

[@marshallhughg]

WOW, thank you for showing me this! Always knew of Anderson Paak, but never seen him in this light! Excited to take a deeper dive

[@XxMoneyman47xX]

Please do J.I.D's Tiny Desk Concert, it is absolutely Top Tier, definitely one of the best ones ever done!

[@robinvolpi]

Seeing as the son doesn't really know much about Andersons incredible catalogue either, I'd like to suggest that you both listen to his MALIBU album which is a bonafide classic with phenomenal instrumentation and fantastic lyricism. Funk, Rock and Soul are the name of the game with this one. Once again - MALIBU. Three of the songs from the Tiny Desk are from that album. The last song, Suede, is from a different project and collaboration with NXworries. MALIBU - indulge yourselves.

[@vanessaseymour2634]

Please react to the Silk Sonic album, 'An Evening With Silk Sonic'. I know your dad would love it. It's only 10 tracks.

[@jeanbeya6860]

A good follow up would be the Free Nationals Tiny Desk. Some of my favorite Tiny Desk concerts that y'all should consider reacting to are Masego, Usher, Freddie Gibbs, and Erykah Badu

[@AB-zv5bb]

Love your reviews...spot on. Is there anyone you've introduced your pop too that he hasn't liked? As to this wonderful artist, I've actually never heard him before! I absolutely love his vibe and stunning smile to boot! Going to have to go find everything I can

[@darrylisen.2551]

Love Anderson Paak!!!! Would love to see you guy’s reaction to Yebba Tiny Desk and Lucky Daye❤

[@insert_a_handle_here]

6 Summers and Anywhere would be two very good rap/R&B/funk tracks of his to show Dad!!

[@alimuh007]

This is an amazing 1st introduction to Anderson . Paak, your musical interests are pretty cool.

[@cuzzywalay1134]

LOVE Paak!! dope artist

[@cristovaosoares8772]

U guys should react to Sir, Masego or Tom Misch, i dont know if there is any video about them, but they're really good. Thank u guys!

[@waheedanaomi]

Absolutely adore Masego, his musicality is 🤌

[@cristovaosoares8772]

[@w4rhammr498]

Heart Don't Stand a Chance is somethin like Neo Soul/R&B

[@ghostmkc4045]

Dad was spot on with his comparisons and influences for Paak!

[@yhr7]

Thans guys, found myself a new artist i like watching live

[@streetframes413]

Hey guys, love your channel. I’ve been a subscriber for almost a year now. If you love that Paak tiny desk, you should absolutely watch his Vans concert. Not on the channel because it’s like an hour long lol, but definitely sit back and enjoy it. You’ll get to see how great he is of a drummer, as well as the rest of the Free Nationals as a band

[@NishDontGame]

I had the wild surprise of seeing Anderson live at the beginning of his career. He opened for a rapper named superduper kyle. I was front stage and got to watch this beautiful man drum his way into my heart. Ive been a fan ever since and its so wild to watch him become so iconic in music.

[@BluEx22329]

His mom is actually the one who is half black and half Korean. Great reaction you 2! I subbed

[@bboyshotty]

likely my fav tiny desk concert..watching him jam out and sing while staying TIGHT in the pocket is lovely haha

[@chrisu6236]

Great reaction. I would love to see pops react to the super sonic album. Also, another neo soul artist out of California is Goapele. Her biggest hit is Closer. Would love to see you react and other bay area artist.

[@DevinShawn]

Let's not forget to mention he played the drums for Eminems part of the set of last years Super Bowl half time show!

[@benpepper-matthews1732]

U guys gota do masego tiny desk concert. Ur dad will love it!!! It's up there with Paak

[@mbasabooi1714]

The "Big Daddy Kane" Tiny Desk is good as well, "Tom Jones" did one as well; Such an awesome & unique concept

[@cmapit3220]

You have to review Tank & The Bangas' Tiny Desk. It's amazing!

[@GRANIME]

Hearing dad correctly ask if Heart Don't Stand A Chance could be Neo-Soul was not on my bingo card loool Props to him

[@soulpoet1970s]

NOW, you should do the Free National's album with your Dad

[@JustEli007]

If you guys ever have the chance to see Anderson Paak in concert .... please please go to it. Anderson Paak is AMAZINGGGGG plays multiple instruments and has such a great vibe all around.... I got to see him in concert the night before he got a Grammy.... amazing. You won't regret it 😎 Edit: Anderson Paak and Thundercat were both discovered by Mac Miller 🕊

[@klla_km]

I don't think it's accurate to say Andersen was discovered by Mac Miller. In fact it's not true at all.

[@heart-ho4qh]

Mac didn’t discover either of them, not sure where you’re getting that info from lol

[@CarmaCasto]

Going to go check out that album your father referenced. Bass guitar only? Im intrigued

[@monikabeki6838]

It’s like James brown and q-tip having the smoothest baby 🫠

[@maciej306]

I really like your reactions. Peace out from Poland!

[@Bodevibes]

You gotta show your pops Til it’s over by Anderson Paak. Its range of new school song that makes you understand the roots of the music message.

[@sebastienelkouby9699]

The next 2 Tiny Desks you should watch are from Tobe Nwigwe and/or Mumu Fresh ft. Black Thought. Some mind-blowing talent!

Tank and the Bangas next!! That’s GOAT Tiny Desk in my book.

[@AndresGarcia-ze4vx]

Yall should check out Natalia Lafourcade's tiny desk concert! My favorite of them all. Mac Miller's and Anderson Paak's are in the top 3 for me. Keep it up guys 👍🔥

[@ngoziokosisi281]

Natalie is awesome. She made me fall in love with her.

Loving the tiny desk reactions, whilst we are on this topic, it would be great to move on to either Big Daddy Kane, Damien Marley or Smif N Wessun’s Tiny desk performances, much like Anderson .Paak and Mac Miller’s tiny desk performances all these are ones I keep revisiting.
