"I got into Wu Tang" is the best opening to any interview on any subject.

[@madSHKRILLZerrrrt]

i thought the same exact thing when i clicked this video

[@GabREAL1983]

true

[@sk69to96]

Bro foreal. The ripple effect is still felt to this day.

[@ZephyrAvoxel]

@@sk69to96 and to this day too.

[@prodbyed8230]

I thought the same thing

[@ibnpatuta]

His passion for music is infectious. He could make me love an album without even listening to it.

[@kendo512]

His last comment is so true. When I pirate music I don't give it enough of a chance. It's so easy to get millions of songs, and you end up just skipping through your music like a speed demon, without giving it proper appreciation. But when you buy vinyl you feel more compelled to listen through the whole LP, rather than just 1 or 2 songs. And you're not just buying music, you're buying art that you can put on display. Digital music is convenient (and awesome), but it can't live up to physical media.

[@isaacbensussen1689]

+kendo512 GLK knows and appreciates music and your description of his comment is something that I did missed in the interview, so I appreciate it that you brought it up because is simply "brilliant".

[@MrBeaux]

Very true, but rare vinyl is so fucking expensive!

[@specialsnowfake6744]

kendo512 Well that's the challenge for music now and the listener.

[@mariomartinez7692]

Too

[@stephend3253]

kendo512 so true man you took the words from my mouth and mind

[@HelicopterShowdown]

Awesome that he gives credit to the people who put him onto his fave records. Class!

[@jeredreid4538]

I think its even more awesome that the la beat scene is blowing up so much

[@NephirKore]

Jered Reid Yeah, most definitely. I thank Flylo for spearheading that whole movement.

[@jeredreid4538]

NephirKore oh most def

[@kiannaharper7569]

O Kop

[@sheff89]

The records he mentioned: Les Mogol - Danses Et Rythems Mario Molino - Fonit Library Record Lucio Battisti - Il Nostro Cara Angelo Klaus Weiss - Time Signals Steve Halpern - Christening for Listening The Feed-back - Ennio Morricone Tullio de Piscopo - Suonando La Batteria Moderna (sorry if spelling is bad)

[@NoiseThatLaughs]

sheff89 Thank you you beautiful person

[@ryancolorcafe]

The two records he shows behind Les Mogol: Kalyanji-Anandji - Dharmatma The Lijadu Sisters - Danger

[@mahbhalls7835]

You can sense his insanity mixed with inspiration when he molds you to his craft. True sign of a genius. He IS GENIUS.

[@DougJ]

This guy needs a reality show

[@webesorrytho]

5:41 edan's beauty and the beat is shown. an under-appreciated hip-hop classic...

[@TheMattmatic]

Truly awesome album, especially if you like hip hop AND psych rock...

[@sasamilic720]

dammnnn thank you for reminding me of this one

[@fabianbrito2284]

The first second was enough to get my attention.

[@ChrisBrooker]

This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time. Cheers!

[@Nophera]

Why doesn't he have any Italian records?

[@Yourveryowncarrot]

You humorous son-of-a-bitch.

[@SOTEROGARCIA]

Hey William, I remember you coming to our club in San Diego @ 12 with long ass dreds . . . I was always so impressed how you stayed in the moment and inspired all that were around you . . . Good to see you living your vision . . . Until we meet again . . .

[@TheoTattaglia]

GLK and Buckethead would make an insane album.

[@RedroomStudios]

Theo Dutra I don't know man... I am a fan of both but they are on completely different pages. GLK is into old school grooves and Buckethead is a guitar wizard. don't see how they'd mesh.

[@kylesmith412]

RedroomStudios They are both wizards. I could totally see it.

[@generaseven]

Theo Dutra ...but would the Earth be able to withstand the chaos that would ensue?

[@surajpatra1916]

he already used buckethead on his We Make It Good mix, plus buckethead has so much stuff he’s made based around scratching that it’s not too far of a stretch

[@clypt.]

You guys NEED to do a Tarantino Crate Diggers! Would be the icing on the cake, make it happen!

[@Frietpan]

yes, i always wanted to see what he has in his collection.

[@unbeauhorrorshow]

"I Got into Wu-Tang" Good start.

[@juanpabloblameydelgado5424]

This guy just made my day! Loved this chapter! Big up from Chile!

[@killdoser666]

regarding his last comment I remember the first CD I was given and the first Vinyl that I bought, I have no recollection of the first MP3 that I downloaded.

[@fraicheness]

One of my fav videos on YT. Got me into this guy's carzy mixes and planted the seed for me getting into obscure/instrumental/beat music and DJing myself.

[@jonathanmiller572]

Dude is probably the most fun person ever to be friends with. So crazy, so much energy, passion for music and what he does.

[@ToVeesAnEss]

i always get goosebumps every time i explain music to people...

[@PanAmStyle]

Teddy Bear's Picnic is one of the first records I remember from childhood - makes me warm just thinking of it!

[@liddokun0001]

This has become probably one of my favourite episodes of Crate Diggers thus far!

[@djkoz78]

Love that he mentioned Breakbeat dance music hardly anyone mentions this, almost my whole record collection is breaks.

[@DancehallUnbiasedReviews]

This is one of the best Crate Diggers - - Gaslamp energy is crazy too . Happy he is healthy and good .

[@CharlieBronsolini]

one of the best episodes! such a humble person. hope he is well after the terrible accident! and i wanna see that dog!

[@SunshineParadiseLife]

He rocked in Los Angeles this weekend! I love you GLK!

[@samiam7342]

FINALLY! A GOOD EPISODE WHERE HE ACTUALLY PUT THE VIEWERS ON TO SOME TRUE GEMS. THATS WHY I WATCH THIS - TO DISCOVER NEW MUSIC TO LISTEN TO!!! THANKS GLK!!!

[@grandulon]

I could watch hours of GLK talking about music and rare records

[@JFuentes90]

Best episode so far. GLK is a genius. Great to see him looking healthy and recovered after that horrible accident a few months ago.

[@pmathi30]

Lots and Lots of background.Just plain Love for the music

[@proudfoot.proudfoot]

Goosebump Killer. This guy is the real deal. Going to listen to everything from him now.

[@caiomorais9721]

I watch this interview every week!

[@jasonwoods7374]

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would, thanks!

[@2010misc]

this is an absolutely fantastic interview. love it

[@luisdiego22002]

Honest, open, transparent. Beautiful!

[@DjDaZed2323]

I can listen to this guys stories all day

[@dancaustefan]

Love.Unity.Respect...what an awesome guy!

[@davidguerre6896]

"The Itch that you get buying records and getting into Records is so much more powerful than any MP3 collector can ever understand." quote.

[@tiizyler]

Yes! Got my PLUR tattoo from back in the day, loved the interview man.

[@JulianWyllie]

Peeped that La Planet Sauvage. Love that record. Overall, I love this series because you just see how passionate these guys are about the music they enjoy and almost every single one of them seem very open minded about life in general.

[@sicfilms]

Happy Birthday GLK - your music will inspire me always

[@Shookonemusic]

This is the best youtube series I have ever come across

[@kane2103]

Willie B from UC. Grew up with this dude, good to see he is still into music.

[@ZephyrAvoxel]

i found this by searching "deluxe capacitor" (my KZbin algorithm is quite officially trained)...🤪

[@logicalblackman8228]

I believe he worked with Bus Driver, who is produced by Daddy Kev. DK lives in the same neighborhood, Mt Washington in Los Angeles.

[@djprominent]

straight knowledge,., one of my favorite's

[@Mbran61]

This is a beautiful story!!!

[@blackline84]

love his passion for music

[@EzaVinylAddict]

Man I could listen to him talk about music and artists all night.

[@CurbdiddyGaming]

Got hip to him during sxsw when he played with Just Blaze. I was blown away...glad I found this! :3

[@0xSLN]

this is a great series!! :D

[@lillyi]

This man has no boundaries on his creativity.

[@voice_from_pizza]

Seen R.A.W. spin at Konkrete Jungle, BIG UP!

[@thabboy]

One of the best episodes ever here with GLK. He can teach DJ's and Producers a thing or two. Next level Ish!

[@bazedjunkiii_tv]

honestly not the biggest fan of his music which didn't apply to me at all but watching this, seeing him act and talk and sensing a kind of obsession lying within hin does help to see where he's coming from in what he does musically... more than in any other episode of this series so far

[@askdhuwuw]

love this guy

[@urbiz]

I'm sure, that the world would be a lot more joyous, if everybody had something to be so positively passionate about, as this guy is about music! Goosebumps, hehe.

[@guydavis3179]

Mom: do you have a turntable? Son: no mam

[@TheDaniloks19]

saw him live at Hard Fest 2012. best set ive seen in a while.

[@NickodemusNYC]

I'm really enjoying this series! Love all these music heads!!! & I'm getting great ideas of how everyone catalogs the collections... my place is a MESS!!!

[@daveid6908]

Yeah I wish i had more OCD for organizing my records.

[@simonbrugner7058]

"i pay the morgage on that bitch so it's all good"

[@MattBraun]

whoa...that Piscopo record is the truth!!! WISH I owned that!!! HEAVY piece right there.

[@infinityLTFS]

I love the clockwork orange poster

[@TasherreRisayMusic]

Thanks Lee. Going to check them out right now.

[@350mal]

Thanks Mendle!

[@soulchorea]

"wbwbwbwbw -- holy MOSES!" haha I kept playing that over and over cracking up

[@Netm8kr]

I so luv GLK's energy at all times. He is might actually be a bigger Dilla-Head than myself. Nah... But, if that's Dilla's moog he has in his setup, he wins. LOL. Crate Diggers is really becoming an all time fav on the tube for me. Once they get Madlib's, I'll be a happy man. Peace...

[@intelplatoon4601]

Great interview. Some of the best songs I have heard from this D.J.Producer are "Nissim", "Zalim", "In the Dark", "Dead Vets", "Flange Face" and a beautiful adaptation of a movie in "Shattering Inner Journeys"; all of them in You Tube.

[@shellacSOUP58]

Great interview, great guy

"Dillaaaaaaa...God I wish i coulda hung out wid that guy" Great episode, pure passion.

[@JavierMartinez-bs6ft]

Lol, I sold him that Lucio Battisti lp many years ago, I found it at the Cow in PB. I was really into Italian prog, and Library joints before he was, and I remember playing Will his first library record, it was the Hardhitter Lp on Dewolfe, he couldn't get over the fact that it was all drums...lol, he was so fun to dig with too!

[@shafiqjackson6137]

Good to see Willie looking sober these days. Much love bro.

[@THEKR8SHOW]

He ends it on with perfect advice

[@Frietpan]
