QuestLove is a huge music nerd and collector himself, the artists that have crazy music knowledge too are always the best and they understand how much more insane his research is when he has items even the artists don’t own because they’re so rare.
Given all of that and the fact that Questlove is a human music library and he was still awestruck by Nardwuar. Nardwuar must have connections EVERYWHERE.
If you haven't seen the 45 minute version, it's super worth it. It's beautiful. This one is kinda rapid fire, but questlove spends most of the other one laughing in astonishment and nerding out over history
Questlove is so shocked by the Roctober/Soul Train Chicago gift, he can't speak for about 42secs (since it's Nardwuar, I felt the need to be very precise.) Most interviewers can't hang on basically dead air (Questlove can barely put words together) but this is where Nardwuar thrives.
What's iconic about the close microphone hold is that it's so invasive, but the artists have to have such instant respect for Nardwuar due to the value of what he is gifting them, even it makes them uncomfortable it's almost wrong to ask Nardwuar to back away because how can you?
Nardwuar essentially turns these rappers into “nerds” for a moment. He has the same level of knowledge, passion, and obscure memorabilia that you’d find with a dedicated Trekkie, but for the music business.
what i love about this is - at the beginning Questlove is like "you usually wait till 4 questions in and then give the sucker punch." Little does he realise a few questions later Nardwaur will have him close to tears!
When Quest still lived in Philly we'd run into him at a Phillies game, diner , random event , local record store , etc. & always genuinely approachable & cool breezy .. had me crackin up when he facetimed Lin-Manuel Miranda who was filming for a Drunken History episode .. I digress, but Quest also did a Drunken History segment on 'the origins of hip-hop' I believe.. . Anyway , let's be honest - drummers rule ;P
I saw Questlove at “A concert for Charlottesville” after the unite the right rally in 2019. It was a really depressing time in Virginia and we all just really needed some music full of SOUL... Questlove and the roots really brought it all that night, and this guy rocked my world with his performance. Brilliant drummer and individual, what a great musician.
Questlove and Nardwuar are such good friends. I can imagine Questlove is also a really really really good friend to have in the business. Not only through the Roots but from being the house band on the biggest talk show basically.
These 2 are kindred spirits, bc they do virtually the same thing: unearth underground music history. The only difference is Nardwuar makes it personal, while Quest publishes to educate the masses
I think there's a good chance Nardwuar is psychic. He's gotten people TOO damn good in a few interviews I've been a huge fan of him for years. He's just the best.
LOL I LOVE QUESTLOVE lol nardwuar deserves great interviewees like him, questlove deserves great interviewers who shower him with priceless things like him LOL
these aren't so much interviews as they are Nard blowing their minds with his endless well of deep cuts of obscure knowledge,that pertain to them on profound/poignant levels.
I would love for you to interview Jimmy Fallon! Questlove is my favorite person you have interviewed because of his reactions to what you bring and how much effort you put into the interviews. I feel like Jimmy Fallon would have similar reactions
I love when artists like this truly appreciate the magic Nardwuar brings to the table!
The knowledge of these two combined is rain man level
I was going to write something but I couldn't do it better than this exact words. Probs!
Questlove is true artists
QuestLove is a huge music nerd and collector himself, the artists that have crazy music knowledge too are always the best and they understand how much more insane his research is when he has items even the artists don’t own because they’re so rare.
Yes and Questlove made some movies about black music too!
Given all of that and the fact that Questlove is a human music library and he was still awestruck by Nardwuar. Nardwuar must have connections EVERYWHERE.
Nardwuar seems to have this uncanny ability to bring out the best emotions in people.
Probably the best indicator of how cool a musician is as a person is how they interact with Nardwuar.
“Do you know who shot Kennedy?”
*Nardwuar avoids question*
HE KNOWS
He looked like he was about to give the answer
When does Nardwuar get the Order of Canada medal?
Harper only gives it to greedy thieves aka bankers/politicians
Dude why da fuck u got my photo nigga
If you haven't seen the 45 minute version, it's super worth it. It's beautiful. This one is kinda rapid fire, but questlove spends most of the other one laughing in astonishment and nerding out over history
If I was famous I'd only do Nardwuar interviews
Questlove seems like such a genuine and appreciative guy. Bar none the best Nardwuar interview to date.
Questlove is so real I love it.
Quest is really the best for these interviews because he's such a music nerd historian himself.
You are a Canadian treasure.
You bring so much happiness to everyone. You’re the definition of how journalists should be. So great brother
(Nardwuar one week before the interview on while scrolling eBay)
"I'm going to destroy this man."
Questlove is so shocked by the Roctober/Soul Train Chicago gift, he can't speak for about 42secs (since it's Nardwuar, I felt the need to be very precise.)
Most interviewers can't hang on basically dead air (Questlove can barely put words together) but this is where Nardwuar thrives.
you're not in the house
Hey, Questlove's in the house.
Processing Mind HAHAHAHAHAHA, Questlove, you're not in the house.
You're nowhere.
Questlove, I’m your father.
Aaron Tatti *tyler cries*
Impossible not to love seeing him turning back into a child again at 4:48
I don't care what anyone says,
Questlove is definitely in the house
I'm Questlove's father
@@izrealquintana1903 He is Questlove's father
This one never fails to brighten my day
"You have discombobulated!?!?!?....." ive never seen an artists eyes light up like that in a Nardwuar interview
This got me in tears. So nostalgic. So much love for the music.

nardwuar is a time traveler
1991tbriggs that explains everything finally I can die happy with this information
I'm 4 minutes in and its just Nardwuar giving Questlove records and Questlove laughing out of astonishment
Quest's laugh gives me life.
This is what society should aspire to be. Bringing each other nothing but love.
Omg. This is a total gem. The good shit starts straight from the top of the episode!
Questlove seems like a great guy!

Even Questlove the literal human music library got humbled by the Nard
3:05 to 3:09

Questlove is so adorable and You are amazing!
These 2 are kindred spirits, bc they do virtually the same thing: unearth underground music history. The only difference is Nardwuar makes it personal, while Quest publishes to educate the masses

"But...how did you know where to find me?"
"You are Bin Laden, we HAVE to know."
Do yourself a favour and listen to the full interview. It is beautiful
I think there's a good chance Nardwuar is psychic. He's gotten people TOO damn good in a few interviews
I've been a huge fan of him for years. He's just the best.
Robyn I'm seeing this 2 years later and he's great
Questlove has found his match a man who's music knowledge exceeds his own
LOL I LOVE QUESTLOVE lol nardwuar deserves great interviewees like him, questlove deserves great interviewers who shower him with priceless things like him LOL
i love his reactions XD
the level of specificity is amazing. nardwuar is on another level
Nardwuar: *Gives thing*
Questlove: LMAO
Interview is magic.
When two giants of music knowledge clash, except instead of clashing they just mesh
Questlove is the real deal. Love this.
I am grateful you didn’t become an engineer Nardwuar. You are a bringer of joy and information.
nardwuar is historian. and history is science about footnotes.
Questlove's in the house
"I live for giving joy!"
The fact Nardwuar spoke to correct him by stating he does it for the moment of joy is amazing, and i totally get that
This guy learned to love legacy
Nardwuar the Memory Server. Servin’ up memories to artists.
He's getting tortured
4:18 4th question and sucker punch come
After he retired. We need a Nardwuar documentary and his tricks and tips on he does this 😂🔥🔥🔥
Hope Pharell sees this :)
"he could pull Michael jackson back from the dead" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
these aren't so much interviews as they are Nard blowing their minds with his endless well of deep cuts of obscure knowledge,that pertain to them on profound/poignant levels.
NARDWAR was a Cherub in a past life.
Quest loves the best because he gets how much nardwuar appreciates history
quest love is a little happy drunk isn't he ?
At 8:36 Nardwuar almost break character man.🤠🤠🤠🤠
Love ?uestlove, so humble and so good.

Don's lookin' like a Boss on that magazine cover.
This brings me so much joy.
"I hate when you do this".....
...."I Love when you do this"❤❤❤❤❤
I would love for you to interview Jimmy Fallon! Questlove is my favorite person you have interviewed because of his reactions to what you bring and how much effort you put into the interviews. I feel like Jimmy Fallon would have similar reactions
Has to be the best reaction
