Questlove
Crack offered a lot of money to the inner-city youth who didn't go to college. Which enabled them to become businessmen. I know about maybe five people in the entertainment industry who did their peak work as a result of crack usage.
Questlove
I never want to get to that level of poverty where taking a bath has to be a hot-pot experience.
Questlove
To be hip-hop is much more than just rapping in the production. It is more in the attitude.
Questlove
Jay-Z is a dude that can give you a hundred 'Simpsons' quotes, like, 'What you know about the monorail?'
