It is, but in a way his drums were often him playing along to unquantized samples to make them fit a loop point rather than a grid. Like a drummer at a jam session playing on an electronic kit. So it’s wild but it kind of makes sense if you come from a pre DAW or a jazz / improvisational background.

Quest is one of those people that I would pay to watch him talk about anything. He’s such a intelligent man.

"Even if he was wrong, he was still right", the definition of fatherhood.

His father loved him, while he imposed his discipline, he challenged him in his mind--and developed the style that was more flourished and spontaneous. Like Prince, he studied his music and had it down. This man is truly an amazing human in so many ways. A musician's musician.

Wow, it is really surprising to hear that he EVER had timing issues. This man IS A CLOCK!

Marvin Gaye " Hear, My Dear. " is incredible! Never gets old, never.

This entire interview is fantastic, but 37:27 absolutely blew my mind

That look he gives at 15:50 hurt my soul, damn Quest was so sad for a brief second. Love you Quest!

20:33 I totally relate. My dad turned me unto rap unknowingly by buying James Brown records by the crate. One of those records was Unity with Baam and I was hooked. One day he saw me watching a video of "You must learn" by BDP and told me to turn off that "Hoodlum Noise". Too bad cuz he would've really dug the message. May he R.I.P

Its insane to think the last track of things fall apart leads into the first track of voodoo, what a crazy and revolutionary way of recording. Imagine if they did that across all the soulquarion/electric lady/the ummah albums up to now, that would just be SICK to def.

Amazing to have a musicologist like Quest alive, well, and working in such a public sphere re; fallon...can't wait for his Sly Stone documentary...though, I will say, the last question brought a pretty blue tone to his talk...really happy he met Grace Harry - hope they have kids, he would be an amazing father !

wow, got me listening to MJ now. It's really important for even his fans to go back and remember who he was and even what he looked like. It's crazy how part of the population doesn't see what was done to that young man. No one truly understood and cared for him.

Hey, Questlove's in the house.

Phrenology has always been my favourite from The Roots and the story behind is always fascinating (second time watching this after some years have passed).

Practice makes permanent.

I hear you Quest. Single and older and life is good. Holidays are way different than other people share.....not worse, different. Not a big deal for me. The other side of being totally independent and free to live otherwise.

"a band with who, that hoodlum Tariq?!" classic dad verbage. lol..

When I heard that Aint no half stepping sample, It freaked me out cause thats is the ringtone I use.

The 10k hours part is the truest thing I’ve ever heard.

Even Questlove, one of the world's biggest music nerds, is mistaken about "Secret Life of Plants" being the follow-up to "Songs in the Key of Life". In actuality, it was "Hotter Than July", another classic.

QUEST DAYS (THE 9 LIVES OF H.I.P.-H.O.P.) . . . Moving forward, sometimes require the stern SECOND GLANCE; plus a heartfelt peering all the weigh back. Prince, one of our most sincere artist; has an album legended MUSICOLOGY…and it makes me consider times past. I’m raised on MOTOWN; however, I grew up on H.I.P-H.O.P., and the latter genre of music, is the central focus of this write. My cousin Tiffany Hicks-Rodriguez and I attended Barnard-White Middle, and it was during this time, that H.I.P.-H.O.P. made a profound impact on life; especially, my life. So it’s inevitable that this piece is being composed as well as exposed. Many groups were producing tapes. Amongst these were: 3rd Bass, Salt-N-Peppa, The Flava Unit, The Juice Crew/ Cold Chillin’ , Boogie Down Productions and A Tribe Called Quest. The feeling from H.I.P.-H.O.P. at the time, was one of togetherness coupled with harmony. (Back then, my cousin Tiffany were infamously known for dancing together at the House Parties) . . . DJ DIRTY RED

Nunca me canso de esta entrevista, muchas gracias!

Thanks erykah. Dont know if youll read this comment, thank you for your music.

I like what he said about doing the opposite of what you normally would do. It's true what he said about Michael. But you know that album that Michael recorded was out of the norm for him at the time. Off The Wall. Right after his huge hit album Destiny with his Brothers. The fact he(Michael) wanted to top Thriller, which was impossible. Mainly because of the circumstances which was implemented and occurred for the success of that masterpiece.

1:33:00 D's new project was that the Vanguard album🧐

if i could simply share a meal with this brother and we just kick it about music...damn. that would be wonderful!! I'd even pay for the meal!

Nice lessons .REAL teaching.....each bar moves into an algorithm of perpetual motion. ROtations and formations of beats. BEAT WRITE ON NOTES amplified

Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice makes permanent. You practice wrong and it'll become permanent. Same if you practice right. You gotta practice perfect if you want to be perfect. You don't get perfect from half-assed practicing, etc...

Fruit from a Giving Tree. Thank you
