All of your albums are exceptional... MY favorite album was Alantis the seekQwell.... maybe I set the title wrong but that album was one of my favorite is albums it got me through a lot of change and things I needed to understand in to understand the things I can figure out or change in to move on and respect that decision
Love K-os. I like how he came in with the low hand to do a traditional handshake. I do the same to avoid a hand cluster that you're just not sure when to end.
Maaan Watching this and his Isis Essery interview WHERE is this magical place where these interviewers really understand music, historically, culturally, and artistically? This is dope
Did you listen to Yes! ? That was the best album of that year imo and Black on Blonde was underrated also. He's been making good music for awhile. Hope his new project is just as good.
+Hobomedic1 Yes! is his last amazing album. BLack on BLonde has some cool songs, but a fair amount of filler. Can't Fly Without Gravity is fun, but not particularly memorable. I think k-os' first 4 albums are classics, man. Give Yes! a chance.
Yeah I agree, Atlantis was his last truly classic album. Yes! has it's moments but doesn't really stand up to his first three albums. Black in Blonde was just two albums of filler and his new album has some cool tracks but not really that memorable.
Awesome reference of truth to RPM being the original name of The Guvernment nightclub in Toronto (hailed just before The OZ). Such a crazy change to house music go'ers nowadays.
Um ... the definition of musician(s) is a person who plays an instrument ... not a varied range of instruments. So again a musician knows not just how to play, but can adapt to play the particular instrument well. Although a Violin and a Guitar are both technically string instruments their played completely different. You can take a bow from a viola/violin on a guitar which'll show off your musician skills as a guitarist (Steve Vai Whitesnake album recording) but doesn't mean u can play violin.
that's exactly it. musicians are Not "guitarists". If you hand a guitar to a violinist- then he wont know how to play on it. But if you hand out a guitar to a Musician- then hell be able to make sweet sounds out of it...and many other instruments. An acoustic guitar- being the most basic one. So...
super ignorant. in the 50's, 60's, probably even today there were classical musicians asking the same thing of rock stars. "that's not music, why can't they play real instruments." "no talent!", etc. musicians are musicians because they make music. hip-hop is music. musicians are not musicians because they play guitar.

This is a quality artist, Joyful Rebellion is one of the best, most complete albums ever released why cant i rate or reply to half of these comments?
I can tell your a big K OS fan, I see your comments on almost every video. Keep up the support of this great artist!
The best emcee out of canada. So creative and unique. A true lyricist.
I need to see this guy live some time, his lyrics and music resonates with my worldview and I dig it!
Some.of the best shows ive seen. Some times hes drunk and flat sings like offkey but if u get him on a good day hes really a stellar vocalist

Watching this and his Isis Essery interview

This is dope
k-os is the man! keep it up my man.
Hopefully K-os recovers from falling off. Atlantis was the last solid album.

***DEAR K-OS, PLEASE RELEASE 'MUSICAL ESSENCE' ON A CD, BEEN LOOKING FOR IT FOR 15 YEARS!!!!!!!***
I love this man! This. Is. A. True. Artist!!
Can't wait for the Winnipeg show.
AGREED, call me is still on play for me, years later

ANTHRAX & PUBLIC ENEMY! k-os is so cool.
This interview to the performer is Canadian and this what were missing

It's out...
12:05 Channeling LA a lot
Sounds like someone's name or some really old foreign slang
perfectionists would rather not play than do dis-justice to their work. or he was trying to play hard to get and it didn't work.

LOVE GEORGE!!
and as for k-os .. i used to love him to death until he made a sexist comment at a show. at a university, too.
Black on Blonde. He can't explain the title? It's simple. He watched a porn called blacks on blondes and that inspired the name of his album. Hahahaha
Nice interview but why can't he play the guitar if hes a musician?
Who sais being a musician you need to play just one instrument or the guitar?? Are you ignorant to musical instruments??
