[@QuickstickD]

THAT BASS IS KILLING IT

[@greatgiginthesky9898]

Damn. This is one of those videos where you REALLY wish you could have been there to just LIVE and be one with that moment.

[@SuperMusicology101]

[@jasonrandall6976]

This is one of the best beats of all time. "J Dilla!" My man Rob Glasper did it right though. Big ups to Mos Deff.

[@sneakerman7647]

This has to be one of my favorite videos to watch of all time…….Dilla’s greatest beat in my opinion!

[@xtenthfloorx]

just when i think glasper has done it all, he pulls out this classic

[@eai1911]

With jam sessions like this J-Dilla's spirit will continue to live.

[@orangefunk]

this is beautiful... if only the more famous hip hoppers could be so real and soulful....

[@わたしなおチャンネル]

What a beautiful & dope!!

[@Madsupervilian]

man, i want an album of this LIVE

[@phylliewilly]

this is amazing - its nsowing in london england rite now and it so fits this mellow theme - i wish i could just tag along in their circles, just to catch that energy, vibe and talent.Thank you for posting xxx

[@ShaneFitzJam]

this is why i love music, and jazz

[@seboufdu59]

I just come back from a live of robert glasper experiment in paris. It was good as fuck, rob g. and Chris dada just kill this. and Thanks for the J Dilla Tribute at the end. RIP J DILLA.

[@PeechCutie]

Love this! Thanks for sharing! I would love to have in my iPOD.

[@bigchip68]

This joint is vicious!

[@holygroove2]

Ahhh I miss this vid. Beautiful vibe. @niels1111 THANK YOU!!! I don't play piano but It's good to learn about this sound.

[@Itz-Ze-Seanoa]

They all killed it!😎....End of Discussion.

[@ronkopald]

I think I just had a brain explosion when I started watching this. Is it legal to have this much talent on stage at the same time?

[@rhythmfield]

that groove is just so nice. It seems like Chris is playing simpler than usual there, just carrying the groove. Whole band and Mos Def are all there in that pocket.

[@yb5743]

from 2008, timeless.

[@living4theable]

This is beautiful artwork

[@aliwankenobi]

yes yes yes ! fresh it gets ! bless to i this is the real it gets.

[@cbmuzik3000]

I play these chords alot now...they are really smooth and melodic...keyboard or piano...introverts of these chords are cool too.

[@drmad21]

goddamn it's so fresh, it gives me the chills. To know that they were supposed to come together in Montreal but they didn't ....ahhhh SH!t!!!! Ultimate shot outs to Dilla! RIP!! "It's the thelonius super microphonist, you know us, this rap shit, we 'bout to own it!"

[@bawol-official]

I completely agree with you, and that applys to all music instruments. Feel/Creativity triumphs over complexity.

[@Aplustradomus]

LIve music,nothing beats it!

[@TheRedlah]

This rhythm section got the beat on lock fo sure!

[@Dominik3000]

jon jon is goin off yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[@DuayneSanford]

Throwback!

[@privateblasevideos]

i kinda like mos def singing, its like, he's know he isnt a singer but he just sings cos he feels too, no autotune wackness, just if your offkey, they your offkey f it!

[@Aplustradomus]

Just sick and solid..

[@rosskibossanova]

this is awsome

[@cresplove]

.. bellissimi!!! :)

[@josephjasonsantiagolacour]

Gravy. And it does me good to say I've rocked on that same stage.

[@yahswill76r]

The So Real and talented Mos Def and The Robert Glasper Experiment. Shaking things up!

[@noggin19]

chills

[@kbyrdthe1st]

very nice

[@jnixon88]

MY GOODNESS!

[@keyemup]

5:44 on out is the THEE dopest groove EVER!!

[@pickinstone]

@jayhawk333 chris dave played with ndgeocello on some metheny concert, damn. If you added glasper, whew!

[@vonHerzogenburg]

@ johnnymitch74: First, he starts with a bass riff that circles around Eb. Then he adds an Gb major7, so that results into an Eb minor7, while he moves the Gb major 7 a whole note higher to an Ab major 7, then back. Then he transposes the whole thing to Gb.

[@prozdrums]

damn Rob knows how to pull those keys waaaayyy behind the beat. amazing... thats the difference between soulful cats that can play jazz, and those cats just tryin to mimic what mccoy tyner and herbie were doin back in the day. he actually understands the relationship between hiphop and jazz... really ill...

[@johnnymitch74]

wow thanks a ton bro!

[@ceetee21]

AMEN!!!!.......

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

@drummeroulis93 any of Robert Glasper's albums have these guys on the albums. Look for Robert's new album "Double Booked"

[@WahkibaJ]

his singing has gotten qute better recently, he tackles GIl Scott Heron smoothly lol

[@squiresuzuki]

Nice! I have the same keyboard.

[@Rugerman205]

You're right "THELONIUS" was how COMMON wanted to Launch SLUM VILLAGE and Jay Dilla (a Soulquarian) on the LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE album (classic material 1 of my all time favorite Albums) gotta have some "Nag Champa(Afro-d. for the World)" but then it's (Thelonius) also the last track on Slum Village's Fantastic Vol. 2

[@timberland215]

its off of Commons album Like Water For Chocolate and Dillas on that Joint!!!

[@phmfthacim]

fucking hell man, this shit is so beautiful

[@NONPOETbeats]

the mighty mos

[@holygroove2]

Glasper changes the harmony and bass line. I went to hear the original version b/c of this version. It's....nice....it's reeeallly nyce....=)

[@TheRealManzilla]

[@torysanders]

[@Tookrunck27727]

where can i download the mp3 i know that have one for this that killed this man jon jon webb beast

[@ihkdot]

is there a full video of the concert ?

[@beezwax796]

Im going to be in Houston soon and am looking at the Red Cat calendar. And they have a few different segments throughout, so what night during the week could you expect to see show's like this?

[@kiyokiyo1165]

あんたら最高だ！！

[@ThePhodut]

I think Mos Def has an interesting voice. Honestly, I don't think you have to be good at singing to be a good singer. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense, but when people start to care about how good of a singer someone is I think the signing in general loses its meaning. Just my opinion, not explained very well.

[@djwmusic]

Most people don't know he has perfect pitch. he's never off

[@dapadau]

that explains it : D

[@QuickstickD]

Anything past 7:12 is golden

[@dapadau]

and before :D but yeah, there it really picks up damn

[@fidelyo123]

didnt slum village do a song thelonius also?

[@phmfthacim]

I read reviews that said the service was poor and the food was mediocre

[@dom816]

glasper is the real deal. he can take 4 chords and make that shit groove.

[@DavidDavisMusic]

2:50, da groove..thats it right there man

[@johnnymitch74]

does anybody know those chords at the beginning he plays with the rhodes preset?

[@radiobrain94]

wow

[@shakaguru1896]

vibe...

[@ocbfdog]

Jon-Jon

[@13jazzman]

How does Chris get that cymbal sound

[@francescorosariomarialamed4068]

Anyone knows the chords?

[@gshooting]

He's a better singer than what he's shown here. Check out Pete Rock's Flying High remix of Blackstar's Respiration. You won't believe how high Mos's voice gets...

[@DavidMcmenemy]

@prezil17 He muffles it by placing a small towel over half of the snare, from what I've seen on some videos.

[@Bozkicksyourface]

@twobillies Where's Rob Glasper playing?

[@bobbydee30g]

Long live Jay Dee. I like common but like water for chocolate wouldn't have been that great without the ummah on the production end.

[@vetrix]

come on youtube cover this song

[@davidbarr4044]

I likes that

[@prozdrums]

damn robert knows how to pull those keys waaaayyyy behind the beat... just goes to show the difference between those soulful cats that play jazz, and other cats that are just doin what mccoy tyner and herbie were doin back in the day. he has a real understanding between the relationship of hiphop and jazz... really ill... dilla rest in peace...

[@LodoGrdzak]

@EYTMusic Okay.

[@osugrad05]

is that jon on bass?

[@YngwiesDaughter13]

ah!! mos def! hahaha yus.

[@lionelzeus]

@drmad21 yeah man that shit pissed me off oh well!

[@thekomladze]

[@CaptainGinew1]

[@nastydar]

Real artists,Real music when actually "rappers" make noise

[@be4tbybl4ck]

@jayhawk333 yea man, jon jon is dope, but mishell gets it in! her and chris dave and robert g, vicous combo! just add, mos def! lol

[@iguy1000]

slum village represent

[@Jumuhh]

common ft.slum village - Thelonius

[@hist0ryrepeats]

"Hey-YAAY!" Breaks my heart that Mos has moved on to focus on acting. Can't blame him (the touring grind sounds awful), but to a fan, it's like, "what? No more albums? TRAITOR!" ;)

[@brownstonecustomcabinetry5309]

Yasiin Bey Is Mos Def Inantly still on the road. Still making great music check out the tribe call red joint with him

[@elindsp]

mmmm slum village

[@seboufdu59]
