Nardwuar vs. Afrika Bambaataa - The Extended Version

[GlobalModders]

afrika b has the brain washed look in his eye, like once his minds made up it wont change. sad..

[YungMalThaKid]

1 man that knows Rap&Hip-Hop before and after

[lebkid1992]

Nardwuar vs Immortal Technique would be dope

[morefishscale]

he just would not accept that record was recorded in Vancouver grrr

[1KillaSkrilla1]

@xDiggaMortis hahahahaha

[twisted400]

agreed immortal technique dope dope dope

[HumzahAslam]

Lol at how he isnt phased or surprised by anything.. he's seen everything..

[shookstylez]

Nardwuar should interview Herbie Hancock.

[DiverseLA]

BROWNX

[sandmonkey322]

This dude came to my college. He fell off pretty bad. He showed up in a sweatshirt and sat the whole show. Awesome mixes, but zero presence.

[babypiano666]

@sandmonkey322 wow so you mean he's an actual person? shocking.

[sandmonkey322]

@babypiano666 No, I mean he's given up on the performance aspect of his career. You clearly haven't seen this dude in his heyday.

[babypiano666]

@sandmonkey322

I actually misread your comment.

I didn't realize he was playing a show.

[condones3]

Mf DOOM v.s Nardwuar

[QmegaNC]

The GREAT... EMPEROR.....and KING.....damn that niqqa has mad credentials...

[FreshNostalgia]

Bottom line: no one can school Afrika. Mad props to Nardwuar though cause he does his homework.

[1KillaSkrilla1]

@FreshNostalgia LOL WORD.

[ninepoundbucket]

Funk U All

[colenbrak]

Nardwuar got schooled!

[yoKevinyoo]

@colenbrak no he didn't..

[colenbrak]

@yoKevinyoo afrika corrected him on every point he brought up.

[yoKevinyoo]

@colenbrak he didn't correct him, he ignorantly claimed something legitimately printed and is on historical record was incorrect. "i neva seen dat 20 years ago" is not a valid argument.

[colenbrak]

@yoKevinyoo did you even watch the whole interview? do you have to transcribe in ebonics?

[yoKevinyoo]

@colenbrak yes i did, and i'm just giving an accurate portrayal of the dialect bambaataa had in the video.

[colenbrak]

@yoKevinyoo well if you did, then how come nardwuar didnt know shit about the "first rap album"?

[yoKevinyoo]

@colenbrak nardwuar didn't argue with him, he handed him a record which bambaataa partially agreed was the first "rap" record in a sense..

[colenbrak]

@yoKevinyoo and then nardwuar proceeded to get schooled on the topic, my thesis statement.

[babypiano666]

@colenbrak he was probably just trying to get conversation out of him by asking.

[colenbrak]

@babypiano666 fine. but it appeared as though he was schooled.

[WASSnROLL]

Ooo that's the cat rapping on "Got That Vibe", cool. Peace out to the Zulu Nation.

[Incrediblejeff]

ESG mention.awesome

[DJZobe]

lol 4 people never saw Vancouver on their copy of Incredible Bongo Band Bongo Rock LP.

[deepintherecession]

I love this. I wouldn't be a hip hop fan without this man.

[MuzicFiendFury]

WORD Immortal Technique

[WuTang069]

Supernat and technique dope calls afrika

[TheChiefBeezy]

supernatural is the rawest

[Noza0ne]

Immortal Technique! That's what's up

[SubliminalMinded2011]

he said "the BROWNX"

lol

[LatinPercussion]

2:43 - 3:33 WOW what a lesson !

RESPECT Afrika Bambaataa!

[Killerbrick]

He got tripped up on that Vancouver lable... hahaha... AB was like what in the fuck!

[richieonce]

bambaataa is so jamaican looks wise

[Pirate7X]

Peace

Unity

Love

& Havin' Fun!

ZULU!

[hiphopisdead34]

Supernature XD Supernatural's awesome.

[SubconsciousGatherer]

Afrika B. looks like Wesley Willis, but more coherent (and only slightly).

[AtribecalledQ]

i thought the dude behind afrika was a mannequin at first LOL

[DeadCee]

@AtribecalledQ lol wowwww dats some alien shit i did too. talk about reptillian beings

[AtribecalledQ]

@DeadCee LMAO that dude is weirded out straight up. He must be on something.

[cLGenocide]

I was thinking Afrika Bambaataa wouldnt do the doo doo and I was right :)

[wutangson1]

what did he mean that Ali has seen UFOs? Is that a drug reference?

[martin3031]

@wutangson1 i think he really meant it

[PsychedelicVideos]

whats up with this stupid nigger? just play along with the questions even if they aren't 100% factual.

people who don't know nardwuars style always give the worst interviews.

[dewfish]

@PsychedelicVideos

This is the kind of dumb shit I have a problem with. Afrika Bambaataa means more to hiphop and music and general than Narduwar ever will. But these dumb ass bigots on the internet only see black and white. Afrika Bambaataa helped create an entire genre of music while Nardwar was just part of an unknown punk band. Afrika Bambaataa doesn't need to "go along" with anything. Corny ass racist. go kill yourself.

[PsychedelicVideos]

@dewfish how bout i rape yer momma in her bumhole ;)

[dewfish]

@PsychedelicVideos

you will always be a lame cocksucker. remember that.

[PsychedelicVideos]

@dewfish ahahaha, you're just a silly little noob who got pwned.

[dewfish]

@PsychedelicVideos

stupid bigot thinks he's actually worth talking to. I'm done.

[ollie1504]

@dewfish funny thing is both afrika AND narduwar know more about hip hop than you you black panther wannabe mother fucker

[dewfish]

@ollie1504

only one talking about black panthers is you dipshit. these bigots just get dumber and dumber

[Iam1HipHopEducator]

lmao

[ArtWeiseCrew]

bambaata seems mad arrogant and unfriendly.

especially with the bongo rock havin been recorded in vancouver thing.

[nordseemix]

@ArtWeiseCrew I can't see that, he just tells what he has seen and heard before

[mbera11]

@ArtWeiseCrew dude he laughs, even if he never thought it was from vancouver its not like hes being unfriendly, or else he'd stop the interview. he's also giving great elucidating answers

[VariedInterest]

People always say he does great research, but that implies he did it specifically for the interview, which I do not think is the case. I think he is a very devoted student and collector of music, and has been accumulating this knowledge by sheer virtue of genuine love and interest in it, and the information he has is not limited to the preparation for an interview. All thos amazing rare records he pulls out are his own collection. He is very important to music history.

[A2Z83]

Nardwuar knows all kinds of music. Mainly Punk ROck and HipHop. Dont be underestimating Nard.

[indayannie]

Afrika speaking of Kraftwerk mentions they played the sythesiser live instead of sampling a record when recording Planet Rock. Thought that was interesting. Nardwuar is a great interveiwer. Hes well researched and asks questions that get honest responses. I will watch any of his interveiws, even if I don't know the band. Always interesting to get in the mind of musicians.

[NattyRebel7913]

I've got a lot of respect for Mr. Bambaataa. Those records are gold. ZULU PRIDE. PEACE.

[SeeingNames]

is Afrika Bambaataa stonned there (no disrespect)

[eratikone]

Nardwuar has the later reissue on MGM, the original was release on Pride Records in 1972. It's possible the Pride release did not mention VC.

[eratikone]

[8jagernath4]

he sounds like that because he was born with that voice box u fuckn idiot.what do you sound like u lil female, i dont see you meeting africka.

[kingojugo]

big up to AFRIKA for mentioning immortal technique. peace

[sammallory79]

@kingojugo woot hypocritical underground (who is mainstream in the end) rapper is the future....

[xplosive7913]

why does the interviewer sound like that?

[galaxyrock]

Yes, Afrika, Nardwuar is apart of a vast conspiracy to trick you into believing an album was made in Canada.

[KWU1231979]

super nature? he made that shit up.

[Vladic89]

i think he was referring to supernatural who i think used to go by the name of super nature. supernat has been around for a long time, i actually seen him live not long ago. what he does is, get all the people around him to dig into their pockets and pull out random objects and than freestyles off that. its fucking crazy, you can find him on youtube just look up supernatural.

[KnuckleBallz]

its MC Supernatural.

[M0Faux]

Mr. Tooth Decay

vs.

Ali

[trmble6]

A lot of vinyl record album covers changed over the years...the original cover for that record had like Dinasours and jungles on it. thats the new cover. Nardwaur is tryin to disprove the godfather of hip-hop. he's tryin to disprove the man who had all the original records...FUCK THAT GOLF CAP WEARING BITCH

[trmble6]

nardwuar tryin to interview Bambaataa or trying to intimidate him?

its seems that he's tryin to mess with him more than give him a serious interview.

if nardwaur is tryin to embarass Bam then fuck nardwuar

[illminduse]

he did a good job interviewing. i have much respect for bambaataa, but why couldnt he just accept that the album was recorded in canada? if anything he was embarrassing himself

[trmble6]

Because nardwaur wasn't the person who introduced hip-hop. besides, just because a record is recorded in vancouver doesn't mean that canada is "ground zero" for hip-hop. i don't know man, it just not good to try and argue with bambaataa, I dont think nardwaur knows how important bambaataa is to hip-hop. I think nardwaur just see's bambaataa as another hip-hop artist. Its just my opinion

[illminduse]

blah blah blah

[trmble6]

what?

[ColdSilverPeaches]

I agree with illminduse...."BLAH BLAH BLAH"

Nardwuar asked him interesting questions. AAAAND Bambaataa did not know a thing about punk.

[trmble6]

Dude in the 70's bambaataa and the zulu nation hung out with the punk rockers back then because they both felt rebelious against anything that they felt was opressing them. bambaataa doesn't know the history of punk yes but, he has made a friendship with them. That friendship ended because, the punks decided to rebel on their own. thats why punk rockers and hip-hoppers talk shit to each other today. Read "Can't Stop Won't Stop" by jeff Chang and look for yourself

[trmble6]

HAHA instead of just answering my question normally you just said "blah blah blah" hahaha your a fuckin comic genius!!! have anymore little smart ass remarks?

[mattcribbin]

it should be doot-doodle-oot-do

[royalsteven]

These guys eyes are moving like crazy aheh. But Afrika is one of the founders he knows his hip-hop stuff. Today's kiddies need to listen to these guys.

[ozrob76]

The guy interviewing is a fucking moron! what a squeaky-voiced dipshit.....highly annoying man interviewing a very cool one

[DoctorPerpetuo]

come on now nardwuar really knows his shit. check some of his other interviews

[brenthoser99]

no doubt, what a dipshit ozrob76 is. doesnt know wtf hes talking about . and it shows.

[ozrob76]

Oh believe me, I know a squeaky-voiced highly annoying moronic dipshit when I hear one :D

*listens intently* "Git yourrr Gern Brenty...."

[chepe371]

you have gravely insulted a CANADIAN NATIONAL TREASURE

and for that

you sir have earned the title of PUNKBITCH

[1986abc]

Anybody understand, what Afrika Bambaataa is saying about Kraftwerk? I just can understand: "Kraftwerk was cool." :-)

[nordseemix]

@1986abc He says that they met in paris. in the beginning there was this Planet Rock/ Trans Europe Express conflict about the royalties that Kraftwerk had to deal about with Arthur Baker, but now everything is good again

[kautle]

i wonder if a lot of these big time rappers today even have a similar understanding of what hip-hop is/could be. probably not enough. bambaataa makes it sound totally open, which is how he made it.

[gm78cc]

they probbaly do, why is it that people think rappers are doing what they do on purpose, have you looked at the current music scene, they wont promote anything unless its stereotypical

[GUGUG]

fantastic interviews nardwuar!!

[Bones139]

big ups super nature lol

[LatinPercussion]

"...Funk You!"

lmao!

[heymaria123]

still laughin

[ishyaboi8989]

actually its they international and universal hand sign.. but in that video he just do it extra creepy.lol

[ishyaboi8989]

yeah afrika bambaataa is crazy. in another video i see him throw up the illuminati "rock on!" hand sign.. he into some mystical shit.

[pippigladstone]

aw man, do you remember what that video was called?

[ishyaboi8989]

Afrika Bambaataa - 14th Anniversary Zulu Nation

he throws it up kina awkwardly 3 times..

[pippigladstone]

thnks`man

[FiascosFreshness]

I think he's a Freemason. He has what is known as the "Eye of Horus" on his hat. Also that cross on his chain is also connected to freemasonry.

[kullmack]

this dude is obnoxious;zulu nation stand up

[morelltechyahoocom]

how the hell did nardwuar get this job

[ElectricPhase]

Zulu Nation guy is hella impressed with this discussion!

[JoKo203]

Umar Bin Hassan and the Last Poets kind of started Hip-Hop in the 1970s.

[chakazulu3000]

Afrika's knowledge of music is crazy.

[heymaria123]

yup, hey do u think that first record was recorded in vancouver?

[chakazulu3000]

lol. prolly so.

[heymaria123]

idk..haha

[LatinPercussion]

the original record look totally different .. with dinasours and jungle drawings.

I might have to check it tho to see if it was recorded there lol

[FruscianteLennon311]

Nardwuar is one of my favorite persons! I love love love Nardwuar!!

[rynomacamillion]

He is a huge tool

[4lph4num3r1sm]

Wow, it's Wesley Willis without schizophrenia.

[Bimz10]

[FruscianteLennon311]

Nardwuar is one of my favorite persons! I love love love Nardwuar!!

[mephigog]

[nubbs]

[redviking09]
