The Art of Openness: Robert Glasper on collaboration, culture, and comedy

lol @ stevie wonder jumping onto the stage mid-set 🤯🎶 what a surreal experience that must've been for glasper! and omg i'm loving his vibes with erykah badu on "afro blue" - they're like two peas in a pod, musically speaking 🌱💚
 
I'm loving this guy's vibes 🌈, he's always pushing the limits with his music and collaborations! The way he seamlessly blends different styles is genius 💡, I mean who else can make jazz and hip-hop work together like that? 😂 And Stevie Wonder on stage at Blue Note? Mind. Blown. 🤯 Glasper's all about authenticity and being true to himself, which is really inspiring 🙌, let's see more artists take a page out of his book! 💖
 
🎵 This whole thing just got me thinking... what is art in America supposed to be? Is it all about commercial viability or can you still make a name for yourself if you're not necessarily playing by the rules? 🤔 Glasper's approach to blending genres feels like a form of rebellion against the traditional music industry, and that's something we should be talking about. What does it say about our society when we value innovation over tradition just because it's trendy? It feels like we're living in a world where the lines between art and business are getting increasingly blurred. 📈 Does that mean we need to rethink what we consider "great" music? Should Glasper be celebrated for pushing boundaries or is he just chasing fame? 🎉
 
🎹 This guy is a total genius! I mean, who else can seamlessly blend jazz, hip-hop, R&B, and more into one album? 🤯 His live performances are like nothing you've ever seen before - surprise guests, impromptu dance battles... it's like he's conducting his own music festival 🎉. And the best part is, he's not afraid to take risks and push boundaries, whether that means collaborating with unexpected artists or trying out new sounds.

I love how he values openness and mutual respect in his collaborations - it's clear that he genuinely cares about the people he works with and wants to create something special together. 🤝 And can we talk about Stevie Wonder showing up at one of his shows? 💫 What a once-in-a-lifetime moment! It just goes to show that Glasper is always on the lookout for inspiration, no matter where it comes from.

What I admire most about him is that he's not afraid to be himself and have fun. He's got this infectious energy that makes you want to get up and dance (or bust out some epic dance moves like he did with Chris Brown 😂). For an artist who's so good at his craft, it's amazing how down-to-earth and humble he stays.

Anyway, I just can't get enough of Robert Glasper's music - his creativity is truly inspiring. If you haven't checked him out yet, do yourself a favor and dive into some of his albums (or Keys to the City Vol. 1). Trust me, you won't regret it! 🎶
 
🎵 The way Robert Glasper blends jazz with other genres is sooo cool! I love how he brings together different styles in his music 🤯, like on "Afro Blue" with Erykah Badu 🔥. It's like he's speaking multiple languages through his instrument 🎶. And can we talk about that surprise Stevie Wonder show at the Blue Note? 😲 That must have been insane! 💥
 
I think this is a big thing 🤯, but on the other hand, I'm not sure if it's that special... like, Stevie Wonder showing up at one of his shows was pretty wild, but it's still just music, right? 🎶 And what about Erykah Badu, she's always been cool, but is "Afro Blue" really a game-changer? I mean, it's good and all, but has it aged well? ⏰ I guess only time will tell...
