Anderson .Paak - The Dreamer (feat. Talib Kweli & Timan Family Choir)

I was boardline suicidal and hear this song that brought my heart back to my childhood and gave me the inspiration I needed to keep life going. Big s/o to the homie anderson

Well, you know, I'm a 56 year old white man from England, i.e. far outside Mr Paak's target demographic, but I have to say this is by far the best album I've heard in years. Proof that great music just cuts right across all boundaries.

AND WHO CARES THAT DADDY COULDN'T BE HERE MAMA ALWAYS KEPT THE CABLE ONNN AYYYYYY

"who cares that your daddy couldn't be here, momma always kept the cable on" fuck. I don't think any verse I've ever heard has hit me that hard. Took that straight from my heart.

When you get a tingle in your face and feel a tear start up, that's soul. This album proves that our generation can make music.

Well, you know, I'm a 827 year old dinosaur from the paleozoic era, i.e. far outside Mr Paak's target demographic, but I have to say this is by far the best album I've heard since the crustaeceous period. Proof that great music just cuts right across all species. I'd pay about tree fiddy for this one.

2024 i had a rough day and im glad to be able to be with paak when he produced this track bring back good days 🎉

You reading this.. Yeah you. Keep ya head up 👆🏽 it gets better.

I'm 61. My mom was a single white mom raising two biracial girls in a predominantly black community. She worked three jobs. She passed 15 years ago. Her birthday is next week. This song just makes me cry. I miss her. I have played this song at least 50 times.

“Shoutout to the free lunch, who knew what we would become.”
Damn. 😭

my mom is a single mom, raised 3 children on a very tight budget. My brothers are moved out in college and are doing so well, thanks to our mom. “who cares your daddy couldn’t be here, momma always kept the cable on” that really hit, because no matter the situation, mom always kept the cable on and food in our stomachs. I’m so grateful to have her as a mother, i want to show her my gratitude when i’m out of school, to show her that i appreciate her.

Now days people dont make this type of music. Only Anderson paak do

This song remind me that I owe my mom so much.

people complain about the xxl freshman list, but I am beyond grateful I discovered this brother's music.

this is one of the sickest songs that I ever fucking heard. This guy is cold as FUCK......

who cares if daddy wasn't here but momma keep the cable, damn that's for real

This ones for all the dreamers and all the ones who never gave a fuck!
Got me hooked instantly.

This album is pure fire. I gotta get a physical copy!

Momma def did keep all the cable on. Thanks to all ya single or struggling Moms. Love you & your strength :)

this album been keeping me sane for 4 years

It's 4pm. I'm sitting in my room listening to this album next to my open window feeling a nice october breeze. Sun is shining. This album is giving me amazing vibes. The feeling i have right now is unexplainable but it's the best feeling i've had in years. What a man!

This album was given to me by a friend, and it's one of very few albums I can listen to from start to end. 10/10, gives me summer vibes, memories and stimulates the soul/mind. Very underrated album.

I'm out of range too and LOVE Paak! I'm 67!

I am out of Paak's demographic target - I'm a very young 51 year old mother of 2 boys, but I can also say that this is the BEST album I've heard in years. The song "The Dreamer" hits me in the most profound point of my soul. Music can do that to you. Am on my son's account !

"Don't stop now, keep dreaming" that's the message ❤️❤️❤️

This album is ahead of its time. Pure Classic. Literally been playing non stop since the day it released. Smh man.

KEEP DREAMING, DON'T STOP NOW!!

He's so damn talented. Thank god we have people like him.

This is the most beautiful album i have ever heard. If this does not win a grammy im never watching the grammys again

What a perfect way to end a perfect album

I love Talibs verse. More like a panther!

The sound of this track can sweep you off your feet, Im down as I speak ❤

Good time music like this is missing from the radio.... Dude is dope af

Got the CD and listen to it on any drive more than 30 minutes. I’m addicted. Worth every penny and then some.

He is a fellow Aquarius - egalitarian, sophisticated, a true citizen of the world - want to meet him and thank him for being a genius.

Oh my....heard him on BET awards for the first time and his music is fire!!!!! love it!!!

Still can't get over how good this album is

Im here researching after "leave the door open"Ie: silk sonic collab, single, I'm a 57 year old retired DJ, good art/ music has no boundries & is ageless, I'm a new fan, my convertible thanks you for all your cds I just ordered♡

I listened to it 3 times today. I just can't leave it alone. The very first song sealed the deal fir me; i,e, the Bird, which is a tearjerker for me as it resonates at a very deep and soulful level. I wasn't ready. The album is an amazing and eclectic collection with a few more standout and unforgettable cuts, including surprisingly stellar contributions by the guest list of Schoolboy Q, Rapsody, Game and Talib. The soul reminded me of Bilal somewhat; maybe it's the voice, but the songwriting is all California dreaming, reminiscent of the mix of struggle and success, the debauchery and the soulful ambivalence of a Frank Ocean in his last album, yet a fresh, personal and unique perspective in its own right. Just beautiful music especially if you pay attention to its lyrical narrative.

when I heard him on the XXL freestyle I was like this dude is wack. but I did not no he was not a rapper he's clearly a soul singer. Album straight fire I'm truly sorry.

This song is so old and I’m now just listening to it but I like it because rn I’m 17 about to be 18 and my father was never there for me. But one day some people cut the power from our house when I was little and the only person that kept that power on was my mom. 😇

This young man is just so deep you got to respect. What he’s saying and feel it cause we all done seen, or lived it. I love everything he put his touch on.😎🎶🍓

This was on repeat the night I missed my pops last phone call 💔 right before his life was brutally taken away from him and all I could do is hold my momma up and be by her side for strength 🕊️🕊️🕊️ forever will be reminisced by this song❤

playing this at my bbq

This song gives me the chills

I'm Still listening to this Song, Never gets Old. How can you not like this. SMH 🔥🔥

This song takes me back to the 90’s growing up in a single parent household and momma working two jobs and she made sure I had my games and my two sisters had they phones, cable and internet (back when it was AOL) just so we wouldn’t be in the streets bc my neighborhood wasn’t a good neighborhood to grow up in but momma did her best and did a damn good job if u feel the same like this post....the 90’s seemed like the golden days to me💯

Where have I beeeeeeeeen??? I'm just now hearing this song... Bout to bump the whole album since yall say is crack ❤️

Anderson paak is hands down easily the best rnb singer in the game now and it ain't even close!!!!

this song is so inspirational

This song came out 2016
When there was no COVID, no TikTok and No WAR.🛑🚨🚧
We used to be Happy 😔😪
Greetings from Puerto Vallarta Jalisco México 🇲🇽

This song speaks to me in a lot of different ways. If your reading this I hope nothing but the best for you and your family. ❤❤❤❤

I can listen to “dont stop now keep dreaming “ on repeat/ loop every morning i might become a billionaire before i die

he's nice on them drums too YESS LAWD!

I'm about to be fitty three, and still digging this gen x anthem.. I'm a product of the tube and the free lunch, living room watching old reruns.. 🌟💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

I'll bump this till i die

Never gets old.
It's like reading a good book 📚

Anderson Paak has restored my faith in this young generation. ....stand up for real shit...not this bullshit the radio stations be pushin.

I'm a 15 yr olds and I wish we had more music like this

Mixed babies know 🥺

This song genuinely reminds of my childhood so much. brings me to tears

i wish the whole world would listing this man's music its just too good💯💥💥👏

Top 3 Albums all time. (Personal Opinion)

Slept on this for way, way too long and now realizing I've been missing out on some of the best music I've heard in quite a while. Better late than never, I guess

Well, you know, I'm a 14 year old boy from the US, i.e. inside of Mr Paak's target demographic, but I have to say this is by far the best album I've heard in years. Proof that great music just cuts right across all boundaries.

This song catches my soul and tosses it higher than the sky ever took me.

Shout out to the Ram Dass sample. Very progressive 👌🏾 “Be Here Now”

Stay true AP 🙏🏼

"I wanted dem Nikes, mama got me Lugz."

this is pretty close to being the anthem of summer for me this year and that's saying something since it's so early in the year

Yo Anderson paak been listening to you since breezylovejoy with DFD man it's great to see your talent rising to the top cause this one is for all the little dreamers straight jamming

When I saw on him on xxl freshman I thought he ain't shit, because tried rapping....but he's a soul rapper like chance n Andre 3000....this is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥, never judge a rapper by their freestyle.....well...only when it comes to .Paak

This song is so fun to sing while you're working a dreadful 3rd shift

Im crying my nixxa 😭this is beautiful music .he came up from nothin.

Ayyyyyyye!
“...the tube and the free lunch” 🤚🏽
No cable though...thanks a lot moms 😂🤷🏽‍♀️
Nah...she did her thing ❤️

This ones for all the lil dreamers, and the ones who never gave a fuck ❤ this that shit for the soul

I love Anderson Paak. His music is fresh and great! Stay Solid Anderson! 🤗♥️♥️♥️

I'm so glad I gave this guy a benefit of the doubt when I watch the xxl, I checked out his music and I can truly say he is just amazing, a true genius, could arguably be one of if not the best true artist/musician of our time he is bringing back that classic 70s/80s music with a dash of Hip-Hop, with funk, R&B, jazz, neo soul music, yet at the same time smoothly fusing it into a Much Much needed fresh new sound of music. He is just so versatile, he is an all around musician through and through. He is revitalizing music much like the great legendary artists did before his time, a true student of the game. He truly is the future of this industry, no doubt.

Why is this song not more popular?

DIDDO TO STEVE SARAGOSSI-your music is lifting me during the CORVID19. 60 yrs old grandmom to 2 kids.
Got me moving dancing with 6 screws in my back.😷😷😷😷😷🤗🤗

It’s been 3 years and it’s still my favorite song because why not.

Product of the tube and the free lunch... I can relate to that.

Album of the year IMO, ya dig

It's crazy that I'm just hearing this song. ❤ played it for family. We love it. Thank you for making it

Best song on the album, Anderson Paak is on the rise, do not sleep on him.

Don't Stop Now, Keep Dreaming!!

Keep Dreamin Dont Stop Now

Shout-out to Anderson for having unlimited vibes

Anderson paak is like the new funky k-os /Groovin

Came across this song a few weeks ago. But man it's such a good song.
