Yo for real, this dude Nardwuar the Human Serviette from Vancouver (above left with Snoop) is the most amazing interviewer of all time. Basically, he looks like a total goofball, dressed usually in plaid pants and weird golf hats, and he has the most amazing NERD VOICE ever hands down no comparisons. The bio on his website describes him as “very intense, yet likeable”. He gets in your face with that voice and you can’t help but love it. Most of the artists he interviews are very impressed with his research skills and music knowledge too, as he almost always pulls out some obscure record or artifact to “WOW” the interviewee. And he’s interviewed lots of my favorite bands, like The Shins, The White Stripes, and The Arctic Monkeys. He’s also interviewed quite a few hip hop guys, such as Busta Rhymes, QuestLove of The Roots (very interesting and long 4 part interview), Flava Flav, and Ice Cube, among others. Check out his most recent interview below with Jay-Z to see what I’m talking about….
Jay-Z actually plays it pretty cool, though others are usually more impressed by Nardwuar’s knowledge and overall antics, especially Pharrell (as noted in the above interview with Hov). Check out Nardwuar’s full interview with N.E.R.D. below and watch as Pharrell finds out the origin of Nardwuar’s name…
I watched a ton of his other interviews last night, and this particualr one made me laugh out loud the most…Check out Nardwuar’s interview with Rahzel the Human Beatbox….hysterical…
I urge you to watch more of Nardwuar’s interviews, he’s got a ton of them with lots of different bands, hip hop artists, and even political figures. He’s even got a classic interview with Nirvana from early 1994 and one also with James Brown. Comb through his youtube page for more videos, and also check out his official website for more info. Vote Nardwuar for MUSIC NERD OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!
