To those who are disappointed with the anthem itself, an explanation: Jon Batiste is a Juliard-trained musician who composed and played this piece. The Star Spangled Banner is mixed with "Lift Every Voice and Sing", widely considered the black national anthem, as the backing chords. The middle section uses a slowed sample of the "Trigger Man" beat, which was highly influential in the development of music in New Orleans, where Jon is from. The guitar playing (including the white guitar itself) is a direct reference to Jimi Hendrix's performance of the National Anthem years back. Finally, the piano riff at the end is indicative of Jon's work, a dreamy and ethereal conclusion to a wide-ranging piece.
Though the final product may not be everyone's cup of tea, it is as much a piece of performance art as it is a song. It intentionally samples music from the black community as a response to the protests and BLM movement happening right now. Discordant as it may be, the song is one of creative merit (and not an "urban" or "blacked up" anthem, as some have disparaged it.) If you'd like to hear more of Jon's work, you can listen to his various albums, or catch him as the band leader on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Chelsea Lindsay he’s the man
I don't know how to say this in the best possible way, but... let's try this: I really like John, he's great on the late show. I like his character. I like the *idea* behind this song. But... This just does not work in practice in my humble opinion, I'm sorry to say. All I hear is cacophony. I don't get it. Maybe I just don't understand art.
You have said it better than I think anyone could. I appreciate your insight and I hope that this gets pinned to the top so that those who may not be as musically savvy, may be enlightened.
People who don't understand an artist's approach to the work respond like the children they are. This rendition is as brilliant as it gets. It is an anthem that evokes both joy and heartbreak that is this moment in America. It sings of strength, of pain, and of people rising against injustice to create a far more perfect Union than we have witnessed. I am so grateful for John Batiste's artistry, once again.
Chelsea, I see where you're at. I see Jon too. But I see @@81Mendel as well. I also know what it's like to try to cram too much into a composition, especially for a broad audience, and regret it later. 😌
I find the initial overlay charming and thoughtful. Even if people don't know what the black national anthem is, they can feel a bit of it here. Any dissonance between the anthems feels like a bonus, because it easily parallels the dissonance between their origins.
I'll have to listen back for a decent analysis of the other parts, but TL;DR, a drastic change in theme cannot be met by most audiences the same way as tonal dissonance. I wish more people could see what we see, but in order for that to happen, I think Jon would've needed to write a slightly different song.
What a beautiful evolution of our anthem, Jimmy would have appreciated the way you played that white Fender.
Thank you Mr. John Baptiste 💙
Rest In Peace Kobe 💜💛
💯🙏
Thank God it wasn't fergie singing
this is such an overplayed meme dude.
@@brandoMercs my name is brando
Not a meme, we all just hate fergie for that ass anthem
😂😂
LMAO
Jon Batiste is a damn national treasure...!
Half of them didn’t want to kneel they just would’ve gotten flamed if they didn’t
Mob mentality in this country now

AnceintTraz23 facts.
Idk what you meant by that, either way if you lean left or right that is 100% true. Virtue signaling.
Really?
When does the National Anthem start? I watched this video but didn't see it anywhere.
tschenck77 it’s in the video, trust me

@@theknickfan881 it doesnt even start
I just had the same thought. I wonder if they will ever start it
I couldn't hear anything else. Probably because I'm not familiar with "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing."
HONG KONG LIVES MATTER 🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰
Did you hear they cant put "free hong kong" on their jerseys
@D Rew It’s only on fans’ personal jerseys, not on the jerseys worn by the players on court. Furthermore, the NBA quickly disabled the option to let customers customize their apparels on NBA’s online store.
@@simonlo4225891 so nba players can wear that? But i dont see any :(
Hong Kong deserves national security law
So what’s wrong with Hingkong?Go and find your eatings first before bringing non sense to the NBA community

@@omitn2011 before trump these things did happen too but everyone just wanted to praise barack ...

Kshitij Dobriyal protests have happened even before Barack.... So your point makes no sense.
Bruh what was that mix tho. Traasshh 😂
EXACTLY WHAT IM SAYING
Nah the original mix is better but this audio was just picked up by room mics
It was a mash-up with the Black national anthem and Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock version.
Dat Meme I love Jimi Hendrix sfm and that mix was straight disrespectful lol
@@Arreis_004 I didn't comment on how successful he was, just what it was about. Obviously nobody is going to mistake Batiste's guitar playing for Hendrix. Where would you put this rendition on a 1-10 scale?
That ended racism
Hypocrite☝️
Cookie Monster very brave my heroes I look up to them
Left wingers must repackage old causes or they have nothing to gripe about
Cookie Monster ikr. They really made a huge difference tonight. They kneeled. How inspirational. They can sleep well on there $40,000 beds tonight knowing they did something important.
NBA: black lives matter....................freedom for Hong Kong? Not so much.
Triggered much?
@@KpR333 Probably triggered by BLM protestors killing more black people during the protests than the whole police last year. Yet nobody cares. Somebody gotta speak for the group being actually slaughtered that don't have the entire mainstream media behind them.
Vincent Salamatino true
@@Byronic19134 lol youre caught up in your feelings man. Those are not facts. Sad sad sad
Apprentice they are facts you just can’t accept them
There kneeling in a peaceful manner I respect that
Do it like F1 man they kneel before the race or have a demonstration but not during a national anthem it is just plain disrespectful. The US has some shit it has to face but it is difficult to know what to make of this, It is never just what it seems on the face of it always goes much deeper than just social injustice.
Theyre gonna burn down the arena next
Fraser Bisset I think it’s find what there doing. There peacefully protesting there not harming anyone.
NBA is awesome
God Bless Us All!
if they arent standing do we gotta play it?😂😂
Honestly😭😭
Stephen H. Smith amen
They kneeling on poop mixed song ...
Sickening to see.🤨🇺🇸🦅They should Stand or not be allowed to join the Circus.
Lol found the snowflakes

I'm out, they will lose many fans. Some guys wearing equality on their jerseys
How rich is that.

ALL COPS ARE BAD
Yeah you got a point there
Jon Batiste is hella good!
All solemny was lost when the song broke out into a beat remix.
I knew it would be unusual. But I was not expecting that.
You rather they bring Fergie back?
What I love about our country is that we have the ability to speak up and criticize our country when it needs to be criticized. That's what separates us from the rest of the world.
You are joking right? What about all of Europe, Canada, Japan, etc
The first amendment protects freedom of speech and the freedom to make political statements. You are anti-American if you think they shouldn't be allowed to do this.
Without trying to be disrespectful, I really recommend you to travel outside of the US and see the "rest of the world" before making that statement. I'm sure you'll be plenty surprised in a good way :)
@@philly_sports1558 they're not being anti-American. They're saying America isn't the only country in the world with freedom of speech to critise its government openly. You're the one who made a very close minded statement as if America has freedom like no other country does which is false.
What I meant when I said "separates us from other countries" is that many countries restrict their citizens freedom of speech and do not allow them to speak their mind. I obviously know that other counties have freedom. That point isn't important.
This is one bad ass beat at 0:55 seconds! And down on one knee representing for all lives not just black! Awesome! Rough times we are all going through especially when our current leader can’t bring people together. I’ll pay more taxes and deal with that if that is what it will take for unity!
Now kneel for the national anthem of China. - NBA 2020
Luke H. I’m calling it. It’s going to be The national anthem on a Harp with Xue Hao Piao playing in the background
United states of RUSSIA Thanks TRUMP!
@Luke H. The NBA doesn’t deal with foreign policy that’s the government job. If you have a problem with our lack of involvement in China take that up with you’re president trump
ab 13 Trumps fighting china he had a whole tariff trade war and has made orders about hong kong. American corporations need to take a stand to. Nba will not allow China dissent due too the large amount of money they rake in from chinese companies and fans.
him Remember there was that huge investigation with mueller and the fbi to find out if trump was really corrupt with russia and they found nothing. But yea its not like russia is the country where trump gets the lowest approval globally or anything....
What about Hong Kong?
Oh okay. You want it to be a double standard....no problem 😊
America literally spends billions of dollars on there military to bomb other countries in the name of capitalism and democracy don’t pretend you care about Hong Kong now beca you want to be an edgy little shit
@@abthadream4223 you should go back to school clown shoes.
Jeff Miller good to see you’re attacking me since you can’t counter my point 🥰
@@abthadream4223 I can counter your point. You're a clown who hates our country. You were taught liberalism in college. Move to another country if you hate it so much. Go serve one day of a mission overseas like these us soldiers do and come back and let me know if theres a better way besides kneeling for the flag to make a difference. Bomb other countries in the name of capitalism and democracy. Big words for the uneducated. Iran attacked our us embassy multiple times for anything recent, pearl harbor was bombed before the atomic bomb was dropped. You put a lot of thought into that one. WOW!!!!!
@@abthadream4223 donating 50k or 100k to a low income housing or schooling facility does more than kneeling. Floyd Mayweather donated towards George Lopez funeral does more than kneeling. Do I really need to go on?
NBA showing us the national anthem instead of the live game
Exactly
Every single time I hear "That the flag was still there", I tear up. You have a lot of improving to do, America, but I love ya.
Lives Matter. Free Hong Kong.
What happened?
@@prodigyxwho2933 China lies, lies about one country two system, the law they set up and commitment before British hand over to them. And they used violence FIRST against ppl. Also, China lies about the virus. Now you can see the world is suffering
Slam Chucky I’m saying why are people saying free Hong Kong
@@prodigyxwho2933 Some Hong Kong people want to go back to days being colonized by the British. That's it.
@@prodigyxwho2933 Because the cowardly nba bans people with free hong kong shirts and kicks them out of stadiums, all so they can keep getting money from China. Meanwhile they support blm.
Thank you NBA for standing up for people!
I hope the 1% that reads this will follow their dreams and never give up.💕

Cant wait to watch NBA again.

Hey NBA, what all those people that are in a concentration camp?
I appreciate what Jon Batiste was trying to do here (e.g., bringing in "Lift Every Voice and Sing", Hendrix, etc.), but it just didn't sound good to me.
True. It sounds great instead.
Finally the nba is back now it’s time to celebrate
Beautiful
For Kobe✊
Whats the national anthem being played for
It always plays before a game?
@@maazqasim1639 why though?

If youre reading this, please take care of yourself and know that this rendition of the anthem sucks.
Lmaoooo
I agree with this statement
Facts
Disclaimer: im a filipino and i am in no position to criticize your government unless they fuck us up. This comment is just about my preference in music.
With that being said, this rendition of the anthem sucks.
Nick Mihopoulos
I respectfully disagree. I don’t think there’s just one way of performing these types of pieces as long as it is done with justice and respect. It is, afterall, a patriotic song about freedom. There is no law in the American constitution regarding “one way” of performing it.
Igor Stravinsky, Louis Gottschalk, and other prominent figures in classical music have made countless arrangements ot the Star Spangled Banner and most of them are beautiful. There are modern renditions by pop singers and rockstars like Marvin Gaye, Whitney Houston, and Jimi Hendrix that are considered classics.
With that being said, this rendition sucks.
Ok what ever they kneeled, but they disrespected the anthem with fye trap rap. Those are two things that shouldn't be together
Says who!
You think the players were responsible for the music?
I don’t wanna see any comments saying “I’m
Done watching the NBA this is disrespectful” . Because I could’ve sworn every single time social justice issues were brought up this offseason across all sports the same people said they were done already. So if y’all were already done you shouldn’t be watching this.
100 lol
Deeply moving. Incredibly rich.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hope for the best everyone 🙏🙏🙏

Stand up against injustice everywhere
Well, they are just knelling
Sometimes the best way to stand up for justice is to take a knee
Wonder if they would stand for the Chinese national anthem 🤔
Probably
The Chinese would... Ashame Americans won't stand for their own
Game time!
this slaps lowkey
I don't understand this whole "it's disrespectful not to stand" bs. In which western culture is kneeling a disrespectful gesture? You kneel before royalty. You kneel before altars. You kneel before your spouse when you propose. But kneeling for the flag or the anthem is disrespectful? Give me a break.
Cuz Trumpty Dumpty said so. Just like thinking masks make you look weak.
Thank you...I have made this argument to no avail to my trump-thumper "friends". The fact that Colin K. sought advice from a military friend as to what gesture would be respectful and yet denote a non-compliance with the status quo so evident in most people of color's everyday life. We "white folk" can never know what it is like.... but we CAN STRIVE to become educated and empathize. Heard nothing from the atheists or non-believers of any stripe, when Tim Tebo decided to "kneel on the field of play", did we. I thought it was polarizing at the time.... but gave it respect. Too bad the "Golden Rule" --watchwords of the Christian faith -- is rarely applied equivocally.
It started from one person, now see how everybody's taking their knees.
I love Jon Baptiste! 😍
You should probably learn how to spell his name then.
🖤🖤🖤
sounds like some shii in a horror movie
I don't feel like a proud American looking at this blatant disrespect.

Shut the fuck up
So kneeling is acceptable now but a few years back it was frowned upon when Kaepernick was doing it. People are so hypocritical in this country.
LMFAO! welcome to America dude!
At least its not frowned upon as much as before but still
I think that's the point. They are trying to invoke Kaepernick's motiff. If it's accepted atleast you know the country is moving to a better place.
Lucas Walker we are going down in a dark path keep thinking it’s getting better idiot
@Tom Hublot what are you babbling about?
You know it was a US Army Veteran that recommended the kneel during the Anthem? And that Military people are also allowed to kneel during the anthem when they are honoring the fallen or when they are praying, being seen as a higher form of respect?
Plus I would say that they actually put more thought and consideration behind their posture than most the fans that casually stand and talk during the anthem.
I'll leave you some examples:
