- On this episode of People's Party, Talib Kweli and Jasmin Leigh sit down with multi-Grammy Award-winning jazz/R&B/hip-hop pianist, performer, and producer Robert Glasper. The conversation is wide-ranging -- the trio discusses his early days playing a broken organ at his local church, his time in the Brooklyn scene working with artists like Bilal, Erykah Badu, Common, Mos Def, and Kweli, and his later collabs with Lupe Fiasco, Q-Tip, J Dilla, Slum Village, Kendrick Lamar, Anita Baker and countless other industry legends.
Later Kweli and Glasper speak about Robert's famous interview on 979THEBOX, where he called out Lauryn Hill for stealing material for her album 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,' while mistreating her musicians along the way. They also talk about Robert collaborating with Mac Miller and the deceased rapper's vast talent for instrumentation.
The show ends with an acapella freestyle from Mr. Glasper, a People's Party first.

Please host dave chappelle or common. These would be two dope interviews. I enjoy watching people's party. Talib is one of my favorite mcs.
I love Clasper's music but would never consider him a top 5 Jazz pianist.
Thanks to Kweli for bringing these people to People's Party. Please bring Yasiin Bey and John Forte.
What a knowledgeable artist RG is. “Not every musician is an artist...” We need more of these conversations and we need more musical artists! Thank you Talib for pushing narratives like this one through amazing talent like yourself and RG. Bless ⭐️
Check Out Robert Glasper’s first couple trio jazz albums: Canvas, In my Element, and Mood. These are the foundations.
Amen..most ppl started from black radio album..but those early albums prove that he's a legit blue-note-signed jazz pianist
48:30 for Lauryn Hill
Thank you 🙏🏾
Huge Glasper fan, I've been to several of his concerts. I can attest to his willingness to play for the love of it. I went to see him around the time the Experiment was formed. My wife, sister-in=law, and brother went to the World Cafe Live in Philly by U City. We paid at most $20 to see the Experiment play, what I thought was going to be at most 30-45 minutes of songs. On a Thursday night. Bilal stopped by to do vocals.
We got there at 8 p.m. We left at 11 p.m. because everyone had to go to work in the morning. But rest assured they were STILL KILLING IT as we walked out the door. Again on a Thursday night. For 3+ hours. I'm thinking it had to be at least 4-5 hours if we could have stayed. It was amazing.
Old Walt seeing Glasper is always the best
To quote the late ESPN Sports Analyst, Stuart Scott, "this video is cooler than the other side of the pillow".
Rest in power to Stuart Scott
Pretty sure that was 'outkast'
@@algorithmshit4987 Big Boi said "cooler than a polar bears toenails"
This is got to be one of the best if not the best interviews I ever seen.. Amazing work and great dialogue...🔥
Would be super dope to see a Robert Glasper playlist of all of his hip-hop collabs! 🙌🏽 Anyways, incredible episode as always y’all! You guys always have some very dope guests on the show 💯💯💯
Fantastic conversation 🔥🔥🔥 Black Radio is one of my fav albums EVER! ✊🏾
First time seeing this show, so happy to hear Talib presenting on this type of platform, ... great interview, always a pleasure to hear Robert spill the history ...
Black Kennedy from the August Greene LP was pretty dope...
Love the Positive Energy this Podcast flow with! Keep It Movin. Salute!
I don't listen to much of the music mentioned so this interview put me on to so many songs, basically a whole genre. Real deep interview regardless of the fact I'm coming from the blind.
The rapport, the interest, the depth; this was nice to watch.
Just when I come to work dragging and lagging and see some of my favorite guys so I had to tune in. This was a great conversation between two talents.Of course living in Houston Robert Glasper is our dude. Loved every second of this !!!
I got everything I was looking for from this interview. Both have a lot of knowledge and passion about the artform, I have really enjoyed this series from the few episodes I have watched so far. Look forward to watching and learning more, I also need to sit down and listen to some more of Robert Glaspers work.
So Dope, appreciate yall!!
Glasper is a musical genius. He doesn’t get enough recognition.
He is indeed one of the greatest Jazz pianists of all time ; he has brought fresh air to the jazz vibe
Man this was a real treat. Great interview
a w e s o m e. Glad you liked it!
Respect to Talib & enjoying the New Glasper Project (Especially the Yasiin / Rapsody feat. tracks) - South Africa.
This was a great interview!!
Always inspiring! Waiting for In My Element 2
I could watch this interview all afternoon!
Respect buddies, from brazil, rio de janeiro 👊
Mr. Kweli, I've been a fan of your music since the first time I heard Black Starr, and Ms. Hill. I learn something every time I listen you and your guests. Keep it up!
Very dope interview! Glasper is one of my favorite musicians
Kweli is buggin saying Artist don’t have to be professional. Whenever money is involved professionalism is required and expected !
Beautiful interview! My fav part is Glasper right at the end, "c'mon man."
48:30 is why y’all here
Damn you a genius
My man!
You the real MVP...✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Thank you!

Talib caped way too much for Lauryn Hill for my taste. Glasper is a hero for speaking up for those musicians that can't speak for themselves that she disrespected for 20 years . No amount of achievement, accomplishment, talent or genius gives a person the right to shit on people with that extreme level of disrespect. And that "The rights of the performer to be unprofessional" That makes zero sense. So hill has the right to shit on musicians and her fans e.g. turn up 3 hours late then give a shitty performance. Nah not feeling that. If she has the right to be unprofessional, then people have the "RIGHT" to react to her unprofessionalism, and call it out anyway they deem fit to which Glasper quite rightly did.
Guess you don't like Lauryn hill
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc What does that have to do with anything?
Yeah I spent my hard money to see her. She was 3 1/2 hrs late , did not come out with Nas for with “Rule the World”. Then her music arrangement was horrible. She didn’t even apologize, blamed it on someone else. Talked to my cousin who saw her in the next city, same issue.
@@blackylocsShe's garbage. Damn her talenr, her bad behavior over shadows that and I won't accept that. Some fans will overlook that and make excuses and still support, their choice. I'm personally done with her, esp after that latest comment she made at that concert. DONE! 🤨
I was at the festival that he mentioned where Phonte invited him on stage. It was the One Music Fest back when it was still at Piedmont Park. It was 2011 and I'd never heard of Glasper. He got on stage with The Foreign Exchange and the rest of the musicians were in awe of him. At that point, i was like "I've gotta look this guy up". Black Radio came out a few months later and I was hooked.
I learned about Robert Glasper from Mac Miller's God is Fair track. That song is so beautifully produced, especially the ending parts.
All episodes have been great but this is my favorite one so far.
Talib is killing it with the dope interviews...
I’m so happy i found this man(Robert Glasper) I’ve been pushing him since 2011 and i haven’t seen him enough 😝 but i definitely saw him at the Blue note🤴🏾🥰😘😎
Great Interview. Subscribed
Thanks for Robert Glasper. You can tell they r friends. He's so free. Lauryn Hill came to South Africa in Feb for her Miseducation Tour. That was her best performance to date..literally
Best episode ever - and loving his top Jazz samples list, but he need to add Stan Getz/ Luiz Bonfia w/ Maria Toledo- Saudade Vem Correndo (Runnin by The Pharcyde).
Anderson Huggins exactly what i was thinking. i lowkey expected he'd pick that
Black Radio 1&2 🔥 Can't wait to hear Black Radio 3.
Beautiful interview!!!❤❤❤
One of the best interviews I have seen..
I was at that Robert GLASPER's show in Brooklyn College circa (2016) where Mac Miller was called upon stage and freestyled on top of the head (was not the best at it, but still a treat to see him)
I cannot believe that was Robert's last in-person encounter with him..
Lovin this interview. Good for Mr. Glasper for speaking up for musicians. Anotha thing Talib know he can where them hats 🎹🎧🎤
Got on this one a little late. Dope and hella talented dude. Cool to see that’s he not a snobby, academic jazz type. I’m sure homie could be, but I dig where he’s at. When I was in Houston before the shutdown, I was at this breakfast and they were killing it with his music. Dope vibes.
Doap...love this guy's music, great conversation
Teen Spirit cover from Glass changed my life shout out to Casey Benjamin on vocoder 💯
Money H. Blessin' same here man!
Thank God for this interview which made this comment from Money possible..
Thank God for search engines which made me search for " Teen Spirit cover from Glass"
And thank god I came upon one of the best pieces I've Listened to so far this year.
And now I'm listening to In my Element.
God is great.
@@badhabit714 You're a good person!✊🏾
I found this late but Robert graspers perspective on things really changed me. 🙏🏾
Honest ass interview with Robert Glasper. Very Dope Indeed.
Rip Barteen, JD I love and Roy Hargrove Love and appreciate their talent SO Much!! Ashe
Awesome interview!
peace; Got the chance to see this Brotha Robert out in Romania back in 2016. The Brotha is a beast as well as his group.
this was EPIC - thanks Kweli
Big up Robert for speaking up for musicians.
Fantastic interview!
Dont kill me yall but I never heard of him until Black Radio
Then I was mad no one ever told me about him before😂
I can freak you out a bit more....he and Travis scott are from the same high school.
Another great episode
Robert Glasper and Terrace Martin need to do a whole album together #my2favoritejazzartists
Agreed!
They have already? Or doesn't R+R=Now count? www.bluenote.com/spotlight/reflect-respond-now/
They.did... R + R = Now
Jeff Donald I know, I got that album but I’m lookin for somethin with just those 2. Lookin for a Hybrid of 3 Chord Fold and Black Radio
In Miss Hill's defense, Her Unplugged album was dope too.
RIP Malcolm.
Wyclef said the same thing around when they broke up from Fugees. He said she can't produce. But I still consider her the best vocalist and lyricist ever.
Made Miseducation look watered down
@@ndujamz
lol Lauryn Hill said wyclef can't make hits anymore so she can't trust him when the Fugees broke up in 2006.
.
(this was before "hips don't lie")
Robert Glasper is such a Legend!!
Great interview
Great personality and talent! God bless!
The Miss Hill segment was deep. Mr. Robert Glasper was honest. I was wondering about that whenever I would see her on stage why she treats the muscians like that. I mean on stage she never looks relaxed on stage. The last critic I heard about her was her live gig out here in Cologne.
How bad could she be if he wanted to work for her? Women are always considered difficult when we're straight forward or in charge and refused to allow others to mistreat our business, our brand.
@@julemahoward Nothing to do with gender here, based on what Glasper and many other musicians have said she lacks respect and professionalism. Its not right.
Incredible interview.
a jewel 💎 the music he is apart of is love and paradise.
Wow he’s talkin bout my homies band in San Jose! Yee!!
The Absolute!!! Yes Hunny!!!
I love Kweli and Robert Glasper. Thanks to YT recommendations i'm just hearing about this show. Im really confused as to why the "cohost" does not have a seat at the table?
Salute to #peoplesparty love this show #talibkweli
Salute to a TRUE artists!
I'm late to the "party" but I actually made a snack for this one here.
This.... is.... so.... dope!!!
Robert 💯💯💯💯💯
That Dilla story is everything 🙏🏾
Huge fan of Kweli's music and how he talks to people on this show, I definitely like what Jasmine brings to the table too. I'm glad he brought this up, though because I remember reading that article and thinking "what the entire fuck?!".
Nobody should feel like they owe fans so much that they have to sell out or embody who the fans want them to be, but in that article I felt like he went beyond defending that. Everyone reserves the right to be whoever they want to be, but fans aren't wrong for wanting the respect of an artist they are paying to see. It almost felt like he was saying "if an artist gives you their ass to kiss, you paying to attend their show shouldn't spare you from that". I think that's miles past saying "just because you pay, that doesn't make an artist your puppet". THAT, to me, would've been a reasonable statement.
I still remember the Episode where Godfrey became a little dismissive towards Jasmine when she kind of disagreed with him. Talib smoothed shit out WITHOUT acting as if she was some kid and he was coming to the rescue AND without saying Godfrey was the bad guy. That was great to see. So I'm still unsure what made him go so hard defending Lauryn, when people were upset with her for feeling slighted.
Good stuff..
Correction, Minnie Riperton is not from Houston! She's from the South Side of the Chi!
Thank you for clarifying that..I'm sitting here fuming
I was just about to comment.....she went to my High School, Hyde Park.Her and Herbie Hancock.
Thank you! lol ... That was bothering me. #South Side
Absolutely AWESOME video. One note, though. I feel that for ANY musician, church is required, even if you're just a ringer and have no belief in God. I went to the same high school as Robert (High School for Performing and Visual Arts), and I was a trumpet player in the jazz band. But church choir made me a classically trained soprano. It's not about religion, necessarily, but about practice. Where else are you going to practice your art once, usually twice a week for years on end?
Never really heard this man speak before. Seems super down to earth and friendly
I love RG. Dude is honest on all levels.
just watched that interview, totally did talk about pay
13:20, the challenges of being an African American in a genre made by African Americans ... that's serious
That was very strange and disheartening to hear
That hit me some kind of strong too. I remember my Black friends telling me im trying to be white for listeni my to Jazz. Smh
How many musicians does Lauryn hill need to play the same one album
Nuff respect to Robert Glasper. His vision of melding hip-hop and jazz is classic. Think what they said about Monk, Miles and Herbie.
Great interview with the Htown legend, but being from the city, I have to say Minnie Ripperton is not from Houston. I think she's from Chicago. Joe Sample is definitely from Houston though. Again great interview with Glasper.
Bars and Keys!!!😂😂😂
Sorry for getting here so late. but i'm always arrive to the party late, so lets get it cracking.
You not late, the Party still going
@@UPROXXVideo I so respect when interviewer has done their research and the conversation just naturally flows , the best hip hop related podcast since Combat Jack show. bless.
Get This Money!!! Herbie Hancock-Come Running To Me. Also Myron-Destiny.
Don't Sweat The Technique Eric B & Rakim is Kool & The Gang Give It Up .....Classic
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I was gonna be mad if Robert didn't include "Inside My Love" in his top samples lol It was the first one he mentioned lol!
I literally started listening to his discography this week now CZcams recommended this to me. Thanks CZcams 👍
Glad to have you 🙌🙌
Q-Tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those that don’t know, Travis Scott and Robert Glasper attended the same high school....Robert left and attended the same school that produced Beyoncé and Bryan-Michael Cox
When and where will the Dilla tribute take place??
48:45 Talks about Lauryn Hill
That Bilal story is dope...my life ain't shit...wish I would've put myself in more talented circles to get songs and content out in my prime. #StillOnItTho
Nice
This is CANDY!
😆😅😂🤣 laughed loudly when they said bout mumble rap. Started naming everyone r&b who mumbled couldn't undastand a damn word they was sayin. Example: Anita Baker spot on.
Anita is not a mumbler.
@@SpeedyUsher sorry if you didn't like my post
I’d give up both of my thumbs for a Yasiin podcast.
Run them thangs
@@bobgoes6792 👍🏿👍🏿
I’m rewatching this 3 years later and it’s funny how desperately Talib was trying to defend “Ms.” Lauryn. Just came from another vid with James Poyser discussing a similar situation. He’s had his hand in countless tracks for her; and NO CREDIT to his name. She’s still a legend in my eyes. But it’s just unfortunate. If ONLY she ran her business clean.
Clap clap clap
