YO This guy gotta show more love to bob james then he does at the end. I grew up in the NYC at zulunation jams back in the day, It is obvious rob swift does not know the importance of bob james' music to the hip hop culture. next time this brother better make it all about Mr bob james

[11moonelf]

Wow...no man-hug or even a handshake at the end? That's not even natural....

[Andrewsuber]

Great sublime jazz keyboards drowned out by repetitive, straightforward beats. The turntables are really pretty weak instruments in an ensemble. They're best backing up an MC in hip-hop routines.

Give Bob a real rhythm section behind him.

[OdeeO]

I'm on a weak connection so maybe i should wait until I see the whole video before I respod to what someone said about RobSwift knowing about Bob James or giving him a hug or some shit... OK I saw it. All i can do is give Rob the benefit of the doubt that he might of been tired or distressed or something. Rob is the man he knows WTF Bob James is and it takes a lot to do what the X Men do. Its hard work in a world where your own people don't appreciate you. THIS WAS AN HONOR

[Chuck1Green]

Can u say musical madness!?!? This should be sending every hip hop, R&B and Jazz producer back to the lab! And for those of y'all dissing, just kick back and enjoy the moment. Bob James doesnt need to do anything to stay relevant. Thats the point of the performance, to show that Bob James is one of the blueprints of hip hop

[jazzsoul60]

What great artists have to do to remain relevant. smh!

[ChampionRubyWUB]

I'd rip off my own face to be at this gig...

[mekko88]

rob swift got too caught up in how cool he was spinning Bob James's breaks on the table while Bob James sat right behind him....jackass. no fucking acknowledgement.

[HIGHPOSTERtown]

@AlucsBrand yes, rob swift made a name for himself in hip hop (as did vanilla ice and mc hammer.) but that does'nt mean at the end of this video rob swift forgot good etiquette.

[AlucsBrand]

@HIGHPOSTERtown

Rob's musical output may be newschool,

but the man is almost around 40 yrs old. Gotta acknowledge, that he started very early

and knows everything about breaks and references. I mean... you know Rob's record off of Stones Throw

where he mixes that dope shit from way back. He defo knows some history. He's always been the humble dude to look up to. AND will be. Period.

[Beatsmith2617]

Yo, both are legends but I would've been bowing down if I were Rob Swift.

[unciase1]

@HIGHPOSTERtown oh no, not you again.
