?uestlove Breaks it Down

The Believer Magazine has an excellent interview with Ahmir ‘?uestlove’ Thompson of the Roots. If you’re a hip-hop fan I highly recommend it. Read it to find out:

• why crack is responsible for hip-hop


• if ?uest is ‘dried out’ on hip-hop


• why he keeps buying the same records multiple times


• details about the afro… bruh hasn’t had a haircut since 1989!


• all kinds of wacky shit about D’Angelo (that was one hell of a tour!)


• the connection between De La Soul & The Roots


• ?uest’s thoughts on sampling


• ?uest’s top 5 MCs… no Tupac… ha ha! (paragraph 2 of this post explains why I laugh)
