Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals: SXSW 2016 | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW
Музыка
Without a doubt, Anderson .Paak is the new "it" guy of that place where R&B and hip-hop overlap. It sort of happened overnight, and we can kind of credit Dr. Dre, who gave .Paak permission to leave his fingerprints all over Dre's long-awaited return to music, 2015's Compton. But the palpable, feverish excitement in the breezy night air at Stubb's during NPR Music's SXSW showcase in the moments leading up to .Paak's set was all his own.
Backed by his jaw-droppingly malleable band, The Free Nationals, Anderson .Paak hit our stage sounding as refreshed and crystal clear as he does on his album Malibu, the moment when our collective ears perked up at NPR Music - even after giving his all at at least two showcases before ours, with another coming immediately after.
Throughout the set, .Paak sang and rapped effortlessly, stretching and flexing between each form, the passion in his voice making the transitions seamless. When he wasn't taking us down with his voice, it was the cool oozing out of his dance moves; when it wasn't his dance moves, it was the crowd-pleasing moment when he jumped behind the drum kit and immediately felt right at home.
With every meticulously crafted and performed note, audience members, security, bartenders and NPR staff alike couldn't help but look at one another with wonderment in our eyes - but we didn't dwell on it, because .Paak made damn sure to make us dance. People of all colors, shapes and sizes grooved and swayed together to .Paak and crew, from the stone cold jam "Am I Wrong," to the hat-tip cover of the late David Bowie's "Let's Dance," to "Suede," one of thesongs we loved in 2015. With all of those moments rolled into one, .Paak showed and proved that where good music appears, the party will undoubtedly follow. - Katie Fitzgerald

Dave doesn't do it all of the time now, but there are videos of performances where he is singing while on the drums. But that could lead to Taylor Hawkins also And of course I'm sticking to lead singing, since Dave has done it as a member of Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures too.

Dave Grohl doesn't sing while playing drums. Taylor Hawkins does in his side project though, which is actually really solid.
His voice in live is exactly as it is in the records
Playing green light as an intro is just so badass. I watch the first few minutes of this video frequently just for the first song lol
28:56 this bass line.... my body is melting down.
you can just tell when someone's going to be star..anderson paak got that "it" factor going in spades
Acts like this restore my faith in music.

Those are some talented dudes..all of them up there.
One of the greatest. Such an honour witnessing greatness
green light verse into that crowd work wow wow wow
In 2018, soul is in good hands. Somewhere, James Brown is smiling. God forbid, if Anderson were to somehow die tomorrow, it would go down as one of the most painful examples of unfulfilled potential in our time in music. This man has the path to legendary status in his own hands. A powerful artist.
How can there be 54 people in this world that dislike this.
