[ccd1928]

Anyone know what kinda equipment hes using? i want to learn how to do this

[unopepito06]

Reggie Watts pieces don't have titles, they just have shit that comes flying at you at a billion degrees Fahrenheit that destroys your mind and your world.

But I call this one You, You Wanna Believe, I, I, I, I ... aw shit, here we go again. 0:01

[SomeOne247]

Pretty awesome!

[boemchak]

SuperEd86 army... Attack!

[Jimjammajay]

I'm going to need a neckbrace for awhile now...

[fetishalchemy]

damn, every time I hear something new by this guy I am blown away. Its not just the inventiveness, its the quality of his voice and his timing is amazing, even using a looping station. Doing live edits, while overdubbing yourself several times is no easy feat in itself but I just love what he does. It seems effortless but I know he is just so damn good.

[4stringenius]

[1ninjaforlife]

hey how did you rip this off vimeo??? im on a mac

[MrTomSea]

@1ninjaforlife Firefox has an add-on called "Netvideohunter". It works for like, every site and is extremely easy to use. Now, if you get a program like AOA Audio extractor too you can just rip the audio after downloading the video with netvideohunter and have a pretty high quality mp3.

[HeavyTwotle]

@1ninjaforlife hey how did you rip this off vimeo? im on a horse.

[1ninjaforlife]

@HeavyTwotle are you mocking me heavyhottie?

[HeavyTwotle]

@HeavyTwotle Nuuuu. Just saying that old spice body wash has double blockin' powa.

[Dakiing1]

@1ninjaforlife or just open safari's activity folder and hold option and double click the video line.. Normaly itll be the ine that ends in MB.

[spcwright2002]

[sodoffreo]

[MikeTVee73]

I always wondered what would happen if somebody slipped Cornel West some acid... now we know

[thenameiwantedwasnta]

@MikeTVee73 that made my day man! xD

[redman265]

a musical Einstein E=WATTS !!!

[XXXerious]

Reggie Watts cannot be categorized.

This man is Music at it's rawest.

He is pure genius.

Knowing no boundaries, he is limitless and FREE!!!!

Be Thankful!

[KarlOtto4]

it looks lije he isnt even playing for the audience

[TheXXLBRUCE]

@KarlOtto4 That's because he enjoys what he is doing, the way music should be.

[klinky12321]

I can't figure out why I like this guy so much. Maybe it's his ability to make amazing beats and crazy songs that other artists could only DREAM of making. Maybe it's his comedic side that comes out every now and then in making a face or just spontaneously dancing. Maybe it's how he gives me goosebumps almost every single time I hear one of his productions. Maybe it's his multiple accents. Maybe it's his fro. Or maybe...he's the last of a dying breed of actual musicians...keep it up Reggie.

[needsmoarmetal]

@klinky12321 trust me, its the fro.

[crazyrj14]

@klinky12321

Maybe its ALL of what you said crumped up in a Giant talented Fro of Genius

[Benjy3634]

I wanna believe! 

[MCVenarse]

Does he just say random shit?

[yackon4game]

@MCVenarse It's all improvised. So there are weird little random messages thrown in, mostly in English. A lot of the time he is speaking in nonsensical gibberish. It's kind of like scatting. He was trained in jazz vocals so scatting is sort of a staple in his music. Look up scatting on Urbandictionary if you don't know what it its.

[zade11]

@yackon4game Yep, it's like new-age scat. Which is awesome.

[byran125]

Is it just me or at the very end when he reverses the track it sounds like he says "I feel...good." ?

[crzywitboy3]

@byran125 lol Yeah actually it does a little! kinda sound like " I feel oowey goowey" to me lmfao , cool observation though!

[nogame518]

Funkiest cat on the planet.

[crzywitboy3]

This is the kind of talent that in the future people will wish they could have been around to witness. I just feel lucky :)

[Keblitzer1998]

Mau5/watts remix? only cthulhu knows

[brwnsuga0407]

I'm in awe....

speechless.

[crzywitboy3]

Well after that little escape to heaven its back to the shit show that is my life....

[Dionysus187]

When reggie watts samples music, the only music good enough is from reggie watts.

[linksubs]

[utube2603]

[MrTomSea]

Comment removed

[snowier5]

holy shit. out of all the videos of reggie watts. this one is probably the best.

[yackon4game]

@snowier5 Ever heard any of the three he made with dowdenboy? I heard of those almost a year ago and I still listen to them.

[yackon4game]

Man, it's parts like 1:25 - 2:15 that get stuck in my head and I end up still nodding my head to it for like a month. His voice is addictive.

[yackon4game]

Tiny hood, big hair.

[WirlWind494]

@yackon4game I had a friend with a fro just a tiny bit smaller than his and he managed to fit it into his hoodie. Granted, he looked fucking retarded XD

[MNice90]

The craziest thing is that he made a soulful song then sampled the loop from the soulful trackhe just made.

Dude is a Beast

[crzywitboy3]

@MNice90 lol yeah dude IS a beast, dude is  REGGIE WATTS.

[amplex1337]

so amazing, so soulful, the whole thing is brilliant, love the stops around 3:00.. and especially the 3:30+ 'you wanna believe' layered loop is so love.. this whole thing is profound & beautiful, i want to buy this haha =]

[eastcstsrfr]

I really want to know what miketv373 said.

[crzywitboy3]

MY AMAZING IMPROVISATIONAL INSPIRATION. lol just like a fire under my ....

[crzywitboy3]

It is these kind of videos from reggie that make me want to start looping. thanks for the inspiration oh god of the looping machine!
