KZbin Star????????????? You cannot downgrade Jacob like that.

[@ihavegcc472]

@Stee lmao stee ur funny

[@feeldog1019]

Stee funny joke

[@MingdAnvers]

@Stee you must be a better musician than a four-time grammy winner, huh?

[@psymatik2064]

@Stee Sorry bro can't agree with you there, when many composers and artists agree that he's a music prodigy I think that says something. If what he does is so simple do it yourself :) Oh wait, you can't in many lifetimes! :'D

[@zaneman001]

@Stee ok stee

[@ethanjoel7096]

Jacob: Has four Grammies Vice: *a KZbin Star*

[@ethanjoel7096]

Stee True that he started his career off of KZbin, and Quincy did attribute to his rise to stardom, but he’s so much more than a social media influencer. He’s undoubtedly a prodigy of our time (which is why Quincy took notice to begin with), so labelling Jacob as anything less, or other than a talented musician just to appeal to the viewers would discredit what truly makes Jacob ... Jacob. (Not saying that that was their intention because they DID explain who he was as a musician in the description :)

@Stee moon river, all night long, in too deep, all i need, time alone with you, i assure i listened over 50 times each one of these and i love every time i listen to them

[@lilfish24]

Stee kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4iroZejea2lpJo You were saying? You should stop with your unsupported arguments. I would like for you to name one notable musicians who can’t stand him, and I can name a multitude of notable musicians who give him the credit that we are speaking of. Guys, it is time to realize that there are just trolls who want to make people feel bad. They look for things people are passionate about, and they seek to do nothing but cause negativity in people, because they know that may be the best way they can get attention. I think it is ok to engage them, but don’t let them take away the beauty that people like Jacob Collier share with the world.

hes not the youngest grammy winner, but the title is not great

[@GeoffreyThomasGonzales]

Type Beats oh snap you right

[@GeoffreyThomasGonzales]

“here’s what our modern day mozart is currently obsessed with”

[@micotoronto]

“youtube star” stop with the cap, he is a musical god

[@micotoronto]

Stee if you genuinely think the musicality is pointless then you probably aren’t the audience for this music; that argument is just as ridiculous as people who say rapping is just speaking with a passion and not music. personally i enjoy his lyricism as well; it’s rather straightforward and to the point without seeming like it’s cutting any needed detail, similar to jeremy zucker’s songwriting. there’s no point in gatekeeping, nor is there a reason to diminish his musical knowledge and skill just because he did youtube covers and you don’t personally like his original music

[@micotoronto]

@Stee you have a right to your opinion, i'm not at all denying your points because they're valid to your listening habits; they just contradict my views on him strongly. but going out of your way to reply to every comment praising collier under this video as if you'll change someone's mind and stating it as if it's fact over and over really gives off the impression i stated in my first reply

[@micotoronto]

@Stee your opinion is correct to you. to someone like me, your opinion doesn't hold up as well. that's why they're opinions and not facts, and why they should be presented as opinions and not facts. personally i enjoy collier's music (especially his most recent release, djesse 3) because of his openness to modern genre ideals and lyricism while implementing many tropes one would learn at a conservatory that modern day record labels ignore or reject because it doesn't fit into a standard pop formula. on paper it doesn't look great but when you (well, not you, but his audience) listen to it it just clicks. just as i have my opinion, you have yours, but running around saying someone is "spreading fakeness" when nearly every great artist will say art is subjective to the listener isn't sharing an opinion, it's just being disrespectful to the artform

[@micotoronto]

Stee he’s already wowed enough people within the industry to showcase that even the greatest in the current landscape are wowed by his talent and compositions. the great have already deemed him great. even then, if somehow they were to disagree, collier doesn’t make just jazz; personally i don’t think straight jazz is even his strongsuit after seeing his fusion of jazz with pop and hip hop, primarily on his latest album. the issue with pop and hip hop and your argument is that the playing field is so wide that there’s no objective good or bad, so inherently with the fusion he’s making there is no objective good or bad. i’ve not once denied your opinion because it is your opinion; i’m simply saying that it’s a wrong mindset to be thinking that his music is inherently good or bad by nature, alongside going out of your way to convince people of that

[@HelloHello-vk5ob]

Stee why are you so pissy about this? People like the music because it sounds good to them. Theres no deeper innerworking

[@DHawkBeats]

[@joelikesthings]

This being on VICE "News" is super super weird... But it's not unordinary AT ALL for Vice to be involved with music. I don't think any hate should go toward Jacob, I think he's a genuinely talented musician and he seems really down to earth.. This channel is just clearly meant to be about "News" and this feels somewhat out there.

[@elinemay]

If you don't know about Jacob Collier, look him up. 4 time grammy winner, changing the game right now in the music industry. He deserves more recognition, not more dislikes on this video.

[@DylanMourik]

"Here's what tickles JC's fancy" "Here's what JC thinks is both delicious ánd nutritious"

[@MississippiDave]

Jacob isn’t a KZbin star. KZbin is just the star that Jacob’s spaceship launched from.

[@MississippiDave]

@Stee I'm partial to Ocean Wide, Canyon Deep... It is all a bit subjective though isn't it? How do we measure these things? Apparently Quincy Jones thinks Jacob is more than a "KZbinr."... If Quincy Jones is backing you, you've launched. If you have multiple grammies, you've launched. He has been featured on multiple television shows including the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel ... What is your definition of launched? Jacob will never be like a Kanye or a Justin Bieber. He is a jazz musician. What jazz musicians are household names in 2020??!?! I would say he is enjoying a pretty reasonable amount of recognition and popularity considering his jazz origins. But that's the beauty of having opinions and being a human. I'm sure Jacob would probably totally respect your right to hate his music! Much love man ... I just totally disagree.

[@Proghead88]

Soooort of makes sense... I get it.

[@gbovm]

Okay now

[@melanielee6944]

This was delightful anyway, but I’m kinda thrilled because Jacob and BTS are literally my favorite non-classical artists. Hands down. Might sound crazy, but it’s true. They’re different, for sure, but they both offer the kind of art that can keep you engaged forever. Once you go down the rabbit hole, you’ll never come back up. Maybe I’m crazy, but I’ve actually thought that I’d love to see a collab between them, or at least some of the members.

[@claudiagilbert3288]

Melanie Lee I can see a very good fit with V for a reason I can’t quite put my finger on... 🤔

[@melanielee6944]

Claudia Gilbert I can see that! His velvety baritone voice and general introspective mystique could make for something really moving. And the whole rap line-their BARS and expressiveness. Suga/August D spent quarantine studying harmony and practicing guitar six hours per day, and I loved his production in Daechwita. I bet he would love learning from Jacob, and I bet Jacob would love the world of combining traditional Korean instruments with rap beats to create sick tracks that can make your blood run cold. Also, Jacob puts more care and thought into his videos than most Westerners... BTS are rhetoric kings and it would be epic, especially if they could come together to make it something that Hobi and Jimin could express with their dancing in a video. Plus, Jacob is also an empathetic and kind human whose art reflects that kind of depth. And they’re not afraid to be vulnerable. This is clearly an elaborate dream I’ve had, haha... but I truly think that it would create living, breathing art of an epic proportion that we need in the world right now. Their strengths complement each other so well and uniquely. And it would be a beautiful way to tear down walls, both symbolically and in a concrete way.

[@claudiagilbert3288]

Wow! We’ll let you handle art direction! You have a VISION, girl! I’m here for it! 👏🏽💜

I might be one of the few people, but I love that you had Jacob on here! His music is what I'm currently obsessed with. You can't tell from this specific video but he's a truly brilliant musician, his music is dense with intricate harmonies but always approachable, it displays the deepest knowledge of theory but is also open to the most diverse set of styles. He's won a Grammy too. He's also completely humble about the whole thing. I'd recommend everyone to at least give him a try.

As much music as he seems to know then he should know that Kendrick Lamar did not introduce Jazz to Hip Hop. Absolutely not. Now Kendrick has done a phenomenal job with his version of the fusion but he should know that the Jazz and Hip Hop fusion goes back from the 80's to early 90's. Just check out the collective Digable Planets. They were universally known for their fusion of Jazz and Hip Hop. Also A Tribe Called Quest did a wonderful job with this sub genre also. A big portion of early 90's Hip Hop was Jazz infused. It was pretty much the wave in Hip Hop during that era.

[@stretch8390]

Perhaps he means for a modern, 'pop' audience? Alot has been done with Jazz but I would argue not much of it has made it to a 'popular' level. Not to say that is the desired end goal, just more how I interpreted his comment.

[@Proghead88]

I think Jacob knows that but this format is painfully simplified and edited.

[@OlePistolCooperation]

he never said that, he said he BROUGHT jazz to hip hop, and jazz has since played an increasing part of mordern hip hop. There have been a very clear growth in the mix of the two, both ways in the last few year.

[@HMinckin]
