Please host dave chappelle or common. These would be two dope interviews. I enjoy watching people's party. Talib is one of my favorite mcs.

[@jazzcookmusic5677]

I love Clasper's music but would never consider him a top 5 Jazz pianist.

[@ndujamz]

Thanks to Kweli for bringing these people to People's Party. Please bring Yasiin Bey and John Forte.

What a knowledgeable artist RG is. “Not every musician is an artist...” We need more of these conversations and we need more musical artists! Thank you Talib for pushing narratives like this one through amazing talent like yourself and RG. Bless ⭐️

[@Lamo2100]

Check Out Robert Glasper’s first couple trio jazz albums: Canvas, In my Element, and Mood. These are the foundations.

[@riminissi]

Amen..most ppl started from black radio album..but those early albums prove that he's a legit blue-note-signed jazz pianist

[@oldwalt4645]

Huge Glasper fan, I've been to several of his concerts. I can attest to his willingness to play for the love of it. I went to see him around the time the Experiment was formed. My wife, sister-in=law, and brother went to the World Cafe Live in Philly by U City. We paid at most $20 to see the Experiment play, what I thought was going to be at most 30-45 minutes of songs. On a Thursday night. Bilal stopped by to do vocals. We got there at 8 p.m. We left at 11 p.m. because everyone had to go to work in the morning. But rest assured they were STILL KILLING IT as we walked out the door. Again on a Thursday night. For 3+ hours. I'm thinking it had to be at least 4-5 hours if we could have stayed. It was amazing.

[@beatsbyway7967]

First time seeing this show, so happy to hear Talib presenting on this type of platform, ... great interview, always a pleasure to hear Robert spill the history ...

[@mouctarbalde9246]

I don't listen to much of the music mentioned so this interview put me on to so many songs, basically a whole genre. Real deep interview regardless of the fact I'm coming from the blind. The rapport, the interest, the depth; this was nice to watch.

He is indeed one of the greatest Jazz pianists of all time ; he has brought fresh air to the jazz vibe

[@MosheXX]

Kweli is buggin saying Artist don’t have to be professional. Whenever money is involved professionalism is required and expected !

[@edwinblue2303]

I was at the festival that he mentioned where Phonte invited him on stage. It was the One Music Fest back when it was still at Piedmont Park. It was 2011 and I'd never heard of Glasper. He got on stage with The Foreign Exchange and the rest of the musicians were in awe of him. At that point, i was like "I've gotta look this guy up". Black Radio came out a few months later and I was hooked.

[@juelzsan1128]

Man this was a real treat. Great interview

[@uproxx]

a w e s o m e. Glad you liked it!

[@shinbakihanma2749]

Black Kennedy from the August Greene LP was pretty dope...

[@garkah]

Talib caped way too much for Lauryn Hill for my taste. Glasper is a hero for speaking up for those musicians that can't speak for themselves that she disrespected for 20 years . No amount of achievement, accomplishment, talent or genius gives a person the right to shit on people with that extreme level of disrespect. And that "The rights of the performer to be unprofessional" That makes zero sense. So hill has the right to shit on musicians and her fans e.g. turn up 3 hours late then give a shitty performance. Nah not feeling that. If she has the right to be unprofessional, then people have the "RIGHT" to react to her unprofessionalism, and call it out anyway they deem fit to which Glasper quite rightly did.

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

Guess you don't like Lauryn hill

[@SpeedyUsher]

@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc What does that have to do with anything?

[@blackylocs]

Yeah I spent my hard money to see her. She was 3 1/2 hrs late , did not come out with Nas for with “Rule the World”. Then her music arrangement was horrible. She didn’t even apologize, blamed it on someone else. Talked to my cousin who saw her in the next city, same issue.

[@TheNdygo]

​@@blackylocsShe's garbage. Damn her talenr, her bad behavior over shadows that and I won't accept that. Some fans will overlook that and make excuses and still support, their choice. I'm personally done with her, esp after that latest comment she made at that concert. DONE! 🤨

[@algorithmshit4987]

Mr. Kweli, I've been a fan of your music since the first time I heard Black Starr, and Ms. Hill. I learn something every time I listen you and your guests. Keep it up!

[@CrooklynPilot]

I learned about Robert Glasper from Mac Miller's God is Fair track. That song is so beautifully produced, especially the ending parts.

[@vic3xog]

Talib is killing it with the dope interviews...

[@JelaniB28]

Glasper is a musical genius. He doesn’t get enough recognition.

[@riminissi]

One of the best interviews I have seen.. I was at that Robert GLASPER's show in Brooklyn College circa (2016) where Mac Miller was called upon stage and freestyled on top of the head (was not the best at it, but still a treat to see him) I cannot believe that was Robert's last in-person encounter with him..

[@ndujamz]

Thanks for Robert Glasper. You can tell they r friends. He's so free. Lauryn Hill came to South Africa in Feb for her Miseducation Tour. That was her best performance to date..literally

The Miss Hill segment was deep. Mr. Robert Glasper was honest. I was wondering about that whenever I would see her on stage why she treats the muscians like that. I mean on stage she never looks relaxed on stage. The last critic I heard about her was her live gig out here in Cologne.

[@julemahoward]

How bad could she be if he wanted to work for her? Women are always considered difficult when we're straight forward or in charge and refused to allow others to mistreat our business, our brand.

[@absentmindstate]

@@julemahoward Nothing to do with gender here, based on what Glasper and many other musicians have said she lacks respect and professionalism. Its not right.

[@THEsoulquarian]

Got on this one a little late. Dope and hella talented dude. Cool to see that’s he not a snobby, academic jazz type. I’m sure homie could be, but I dig where he’s at. When I was in Houston before the shutdown, I was at this breakfast and they were killing it with his music. Dope vibes.

So Dope, appreciate yall!!

[@Cer_Eos]

Huge fan of Kweli's music and how he talks to people on this show, I definitely like what Jasmine brings to the table too. I'm glad he brought this up, though because I remember reading that article and thinking "what the entire fuck?!". Nobody should feel like they owe fans so much that they have to sell out or embody who the fans want them to be, but in that article I felt like he went beyond defending that. Everyone reserves the right to be whoever they want to be, but fans aren't wrong for wanting the respect of an artist they are paying to see. It almost felt like he was saying "if an artist gives you their ass to kiss, you paying to attend their show shouldn't spare you from that". I think that's miles past saying "just because you pay, that doesn't make an artist your puppet". THAT, to me, would've been a reasonable statement. I still remember the Episode where Godfrey became a little dismissive towards Jasmine when she kind of disagreed with him. Talib smoothed shit out WITHOUT acting as if she was some kid and he was coming to the rescue AND without saying Godfrey was the bad guy. That was great to see. So I'm still unsure what made him go so hard defending Lauryn, when people were upset with her for feeling slighted.

[@CEELOW3000]

this was EPIC - thanks Kweli

[@LeslieLanagan]

Absolutely AWESOME video. One note, though. I feel that for ANY musician, church is required, even if you're just a ringer and have no belief in God. I went to the same high school as Robert (High School for Performing and Visual Arts), and I was a trumpet player in the jazz band. But church choir made me a classically trained soprano. It's not about religion, necessarily, but about practice. Where else are you going to practice your art once, usually twice a week for years on end?

[@osunnashen6953]

A lot of celebrity managers will say this to people without the artist knowing. They’ve done this to Mariah Carey as well. It’s not at the request of the artist. Robert spreads gossip and hearsay. He doesn’t know a damn thang. He’s just mad Lauryn didn’t kiss his ass, clout chasing ass nigga.

[@mrsoshadabaadman]

Perhaps you forget she was under the spell of Rohan Marley. She thought she was exempt from tax, you don't suspect that she was on the deep end of things then? It's a possibility that she was on a tip like that.

[@garkah]

@@osunnashen6953 How is he a clout chaser when he's a major artist in his own right. Working with big league artists old and new which includes your idol Lauryn Hill who called him to work with her. And regarding the statements he made about her. She didn't deny any of them and she hasn't taken him to caught for defamation of character. Those musicians that put her album together successfully sued her. And if she was the creative genius behind that album. How comes she hasn't being able to put out another great album on that level? I'll tell you why. It's because it was those uncredited musicians that did all the work and they obviously wouldn't work with her again. One album that she only sang and rapped on don't give her no God status to shit on people with a disrespectful attitude forever and Robert Glasper had every right to call that out.

And so am I which is why I thought Glasper's rant about Lauryn (which took place more than a decade ago) was very bush league.

[@pastense]

ross grimes he was asked the question. He gave an answer. I also know musicians that have worked with her and apparently things haven’t changed from a decade ago. Great artist indeed. But bad business ethic. Have you been to her shows lately? Are u still a Stan after being 2hrs late then performing for 30min?

[@verlongrimes0971]

@@pastense Do you answer every question someone asks you about a personal situation you had with someone? Moreover, as Lauryn Hill said in response to his diatribe, why come work with her if people he knew told her how difficult she was to work with. And do you honestly think that the things he said about her are exclusive to her?? If so, I can recommend you a list of autobiographies of music artists who have behaved in similar ways. And no I haven't been to a recent show of hers but I will say to you as I say to anyone who talks about her tardiness to her shows, DON'T F'ING GO....and if you do and she shows up late then that's on you.
