What a nice, humble and friendly man. He's the GOAT. And this Ed guy seems cool, too.

@@uncommon6969 bro, I really wish I could recall it but it was an interview with a rapper who could actually rap and Ed Sheeran came up and the dude said that he was literally destroying MC's. I really wish that I could find that video or remember who it was that said it, but it was like a reputable MC. I kind of blew my mind for a second but then I know I've been to a couple of house parties back in the day when some random dude would walk up and just lay that s*** so take it for what it's worth. Sorry I couldn't provide like a link or anything

why are you addressing nardwaur personally? he's not gonna respond

why not? This is his channel. He might answer it's not impossible@@hucz

[@nardwuar]

@bakerXderek Thanks so much for watching and thee support ! So glad ya liked it ! Doot doola doot doo ...

[@PamGallagher-xv8sq]

Ed always tries to include others in the conversation instead of all the attention on him. What a gentleman

[@mug3l]

I also thought this in several other interviews. If someone asks him how he is, he always asks the same. Ed‘s interviews are often conversations. This is impressive.

[@jonas5699]

I noticed that too. Pure class.

[@Mx_Sneezy]

The sheer amount of preparation that goes into these interviews never ceases to amaze me. He set up a WHOLE SECTION OF A RECORD STORE that taps into Ed’s most personal interests and connections. Absolutely mind blowing.

[@thecommondingus]

*Sheer-* amount..

[@s1ckboirari]

You know Ed is cool when literally every known UK rapper knows and respects him, super down to earth guy :)

[@chrisb6296]

Wiley?

[@adamdrakestudio]

@@chrisb6296lol. Got them there.

[@angusc.k.c6946]

@@chrisb6296yeah Wiley

[@pbsquilz]

its because he came up in the UK grime scene, started off as a rapper actually and continued to show love to the UK scene that he grew up with even when he became a world superstar

[@christycullen2355]

Ed first got his break with SBTV so he's always been respected in the Grime scene/rap scene. He even said himself he gets more respect from that scene than from his own peers in the pop scene

[@arielcaceres5154]

There are still a few people that we wish we could see. McCartney, Eminem, Jagger, Eddie Vedder, Kanye (which should be interesting), Dave Grohl - Taylor wanted him to get interviewed.. Ringo, and of course Neil Young. That interview is a bucket list for Nardwuar. All depends if the artist or their publicist would let him do a interview.

[@Jd-nc4uh]

Daft punk would be crazy if they spoke even in french

[@koejoe]

Great list, Neil Young is the angry old man thou.

[@Unkle_Genny]

@@Jd-nc4uhI think the robots speak English as a second language, so he’d probably be fine

[@philipwilliams6307]

Idk if he's interviewed, Dr. Dre or 50 Cent, but if he hasn't, he should. Like Ed knows Eminem, and Snoop Dogg knows Dre the most, and 50 Cent is apparently a pretty cool dude to talk to and him and Dre know Eminem, and I think Eminem would be fine doing an interview seeing as he did between two ferns, and he has connections now that I doubt anyone working for Em can turn the guy down. It's been a long time coming. If course whether Nard wants to do the interview is another thing, and furthermore, correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like he does any interviews outside of Canada, so there's always that dilemma too.

[@gs-nq6mw]

Black smurf+Nardwuar

[@LeadBeatPink]

I'm no way in hell a Ed Sherran fan but from this interview he seems like a genuine person for being one of the biggest 'artist's' in the world.

[@Randomjackass135]

Same. Just like the Nickelback interview

[@MisterBisco]

I know almost nothing about Ed Sheeran except that "he's kind of a big deal," but I'm blown away by how well he tracks people he's worked with, how many names and stories he remembers, how much he's clearly invested in the people who have helped him. Really, really impressed.

[@ixICocoIxi]

Why the air quotes around artists? 😂

[@plzfollow]

def. like Ed more after this interview

[@uncommon6969]

He’s not a bad artist at all I mean I ain’t gon front he make good music n nah I don’t bump him on my whip but regardless, doesn’t take away from his talent. No.6 Collaborations was a good album as well as “=“

[@avgriffin49]

6:01 Narduar: ''We have to know!! You're Ed Sheeeeran!!!' Ed: 'Innit.' 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rogero8443]

I flipping love this. You've got this INSANELY fun intro with Beat Street and you can tell Avi was elated to help show you around. Was just such a wholesome time. BUT THEN THE ACTUAL INTERVIEW starts half way and I actually got noticeably happier when your intro jingle happened halfway through lol. Great job Nardwuar, Avi and of course Ed! Always asking questions to people. Great to see. Gonna get his first self-labelled album for sure on vinyl after this. Also LOL when he super judged what Nardwuar called "LEGO" hahaha.

[@infowarriorone]

What an awesome record shop. Nearly all the cool indie shops in Toronto disappeared years ago.

[@erikwsince1981]

Beat street is the shit! They really embrace all aspects of hip-hop (mc , Dj, breaking, graffiti) as well as pretty much any genre of music.

I cannot stand his music, but Ed Sheeran seems like the most humble, chill dude for having so much success. Good on him.

its pretty crazy how big Ed has become since his last interview with nardwuar. He already was pretty popular back then, but things really blew up after that.

[@rosealee9367]

Ed’s music gets me through a lot of tough days! Nardwuar you are a fountain of information as always! I love how you surprise all your interviewees with information from their past and I love how much they appreciate the memories you bring up for them!

[@KonkeyVG]

4:19 This is an incredibly rare Nardwuar genuinely shocked reaction. I don't think I've ever heard that tone from him before.

[@marcusmurphy5988]

This is so great. I spend hours watching these... your life work if amazing Nardwuar. So much heart in what you do. So inspiring.

You did so much research! He looked taken aback by some questions you asked. Thanks for representing Canada in such a good way 😊

My daughter and I were in that shop the next day and had a chance to purchase a signed copy of multiply. What an amazing shop this is with a wonderful selection.

[@TOAST-FACEKILLAH]

I don’t like edds music really but love how humble he is and how diy he started out. It’s mental the trajectory of his career. My mum rated him

[@Spanishdog17]

Nard is a master at getting underground music fans to respect mainstream artists as people.

[@IceKoldKilla]

I don't listen to his music but he's the chillest, most humblest dude

[@SomethingGamecatAdjacent]

Ed is the fucking man tbh. He seemed pretty damn tired at the beginning but once they started talking music and collectibles, everyone started vibing

[@LiveLibraryREAL]

This reminded me you need to get EMINEM on!! 🙏🙏 Can’t believe it hasn’t happened yet

[@MrDr0ctagon]

That was excellent. Ed must really be intentional about being himself and being genuine with people, it is impressive to see that in non-celebs, and even more so in people who sell out stadiums. I love it when musicians appreciate Nardwuar. It's another thing to share with them as an audience member.

[@absentrocket8619]

Saw this guy yesterday such a chill dude, even agreed to watch our football game for a bit.
