Topic: Questlove


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  AllHipHop.com : Features
Questlove: I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we actually have lasted for that long of period.
Questlove: This is the thing; this is why I’m mad at snappin’ only because I view it more as a culture thing with snap music but that is one of my signature sounds.
Questlove: Believe it or not, I do random Google searches to see what people thought of the first single and their like “he’s lackluster, he doesn’t have charisma.” I don’t think charisma is a good judgment, a real MC chooses his words carefully.

 [beyondjazz.net] Public Discussions - Questlove as a DJ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
About Dj Questlove I never heard him djing, but some friends of mine heard him dj in Berlin at the jazzanova-party and they really enjoyed his set of a mixture of massive funk and disco classics and some more experimental obscure stuff - that enough I think.
This is New York City (hardly anyone think it is possible to move their feet to something they never heard, no guarantee that they will move their feet regardless of the music, they prefer to sip their cocktails and chatter chatter chatter all through the night); 2.
questlove was hired probably for his name rather than for providing an ecclectic/challenging selection, and if this was not contracted explicitly it was probably made under the understanding that he will play "fun" music that everybody will get and be able to sing along (very key for Americans).

 prematurely grey » My First Friend
It’s just that me and Questlove are the same being separated by a little trick of the time-space continuum.
There I was last night, checking out Erykah Badu’s tour schedule (she’s headed to Japan), when handsome Questlove comes up in her top level of friends.
The great news, friend-wise, is that Questlove and I live in the same universe and struggle with the same demons.

 The Roots
What Questlove is talking about is the uncanny ability of the Roots to navigate the space between genres and appeal to a wide crossover audience.
He is well aware of how the band interacts with their ‘special’ (read: limited) audience and dedicates time each week to jumping on their internet forums.
The plus of this limited fan base is immediately apparent, Questlove knows exactly how the band is perceived and with a bit of feedback and a lot of innovation the Roots continually enthral their biggest fans and at the same time the musicians themselves are satiated.

 Short Questlove Biography on Drummerworld — Soulmind Online Archive
Meanwhile, his collaborations with such artists as D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, and Common have reasserted the importance of real-time playing in a style dominated by sampling and programming.
One famous example is the Roots’; biggest hit, "You Got Me," which sounds for all the world like a programmed side stick pattern—until Thompson cuts loose with a blazing drum-and-bass groove.
