[madeyes4u]

Does anybody know what machine Butterfly is working on? The thing that's making the beats? (He's pushing buttons on it).

[alfabeastie]

Outkast going into deeper shit...

[TheUmmsahnun]

I Like

[bessamsam]

I'm actually astounded that such a relative few didn't get into this. It's shockingly original art. Ish is years ahead of his time. When Picasso first exhibited Les Demoiselles d'Avignon people laughed their asses off. It will never be accepted into the mainstream of hip-hop but this is the truly great music of our day.

[mitchhedbergfan11]

@bessamsam shut up

[zomb3030]

BLESS MY SOUL!!!

[sleepgoodwhatever]

[joeycannn]

It will be a while before I get my jaw off the floor... This is like finding the most priceless artifact in the universe. AMAZING!

[redfirebluecipher]

Shabazz Palaces, each verse creates a new room.

Each room vibrates with the sounds of pain, love and truth that fearlessly penetrates through the walls of stagnant minds.

I think of the sky and I see, I think I see it through your eyes!

[dynospectrum]

this is the dopest shit out there right now. pick up BLACK UP!

[gokolink]

sounds like digable planets.

[Nina513]

That "yeeaah" is a sample from Bootsy Collin's "I'd Rather To Be With You"...

They are genius for even thinking to sample that the way they did...

Shabazz Palaces are genius.

[slzzzp]

@Nina513

shit i love bootsy and i didnt even clock that one.nicely spotted.

[Radiobed]

@Nina513 good catch

[metronomjazzbattle]

this is amazing!

[jamesandjackproducts]

he's wearing the headphones on the wrong sides, that always bugs me

[roscavo1]

Someone please educate me on what Vocoders this brilliant bunch is using. VST Plugins I assume?

[calumjlindsay]

not heard a mess before, sick track

[brokenlizard2]

i loved every minute of this-i can't wait to see him live in Dallas at the gvb festival

and i need to find out where he got those cool ass shades from

[ChowHimself]

This shit is Blacker than breaking a Puerto-Rican dudes arm for sweatpants money!!!

[PinpointMusic]

@ChowHimself Dude that might be the best thing I've ever heard

[PhotographersLight]

I can't get over this music....incredible

[beardedbeauty]

Sooooooo Goooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HorchatasaurusRex]

never seen anyone play the kalimba like a bad ass before

[Fakename70]

@HorchatasaurusRex

What, you've not seen Maurice White rock a kalimba back in the day?

[Dahby243]

There is absolutely nothing else there out that is like this. At first listen, it's difficult to get behind, but once you start hearing where they are going, you are totally into it. Can't wait to see what the future holds for these guys.

[NeighborlyJohn]

Brilliant set! I wish there was more of the voice synth and other nuances on the LP.

[mitchellasdfasdf]

The jam at the end of An Echo was so tight!! Excellent video / live session!

[GordyOrr]

tight...luv it. old/new/future school

[her0indragon]

WE BOP HARD

[LBLDancer]

Did Ish not show up for work today? I've literally seen him break his neck to these joints! Steez and stage presence go hand in hand. It was unfortunate this was a censored performance.

[2Dudes1971]

thank you KEXP. Your the best.

[RoyceOrbison]

I would kill to see this live in person. 

[SoundmasterSam]

HELL YEAH



[dontyoudar]

so fresh.

[Aberinkulas]

wow that was... bad

[laviddichterman]

@Aberinkulas did you try watching it with the volume on? try listening to the lyrics? this is some deep Ish

[coocalmcray]

@laviddichterman no pun intended?

[laviddichterman]

@coocalmcray pun intended

[zedd138]

@Aberinkulas you're one of those people that "don't get" jazz, huh?

[Aberinkulas]

@zedd138 I enjoy Jazz very much. Does that make me as smart as you?

[chrisshavard]

@Aberinkulas That's what I thought my first time through the album, but try to think of it as a pure instrumental in which the rhymes simply add another texture without trying to stand out.
