    Terrible look for ?uest and the interviewer who's up his ass. "We have to figure this out for hip-hop's sake." Right, because using a DJ is an affront to hip-hop.

    i like his presumption that rap acts indisputably sound better with a band behind them...and more specifically, his band.

    didn't think it possible, but I dislike The Roots even more now.

    Seriously - I wish he would shut-up about being disappointed.

    The interviewer sounds like some kids I know that get drunk and tell me how hip hop just ain't the same anymore. And then when i get drunk I worry that I'll sound like them so i just be quiet and listen to the music. Questlove should do the same.

    The interviewer is Peter Rosenberg.

    Yes.
    The real hip hop is being a houseband for Fallon.
    The Roots.
    I have never liked them at all and ?uestlove somehow thinks that he is still pushing the boundaries of the genre. His fullofshit persona was always the number one thing I disliked about them.
    And who is he to question anyone else's sound, and maybe they don't want to be 'associated' with the Roots.

    ...it's funny to me that you guys still decided to type out his name "?uestlove" though hahah

    nobody else?

    I'd've got the dude's name wrong on purpose, were I hating: "Questlove."

    cosign on the house band for Jim E Fallon-ness too... and vs. the Powerstripe dudes...

    clash of the purist titans, here!

    It's cool if he's disappointed, but just leave it at that. "Damn, I would have loved to back Meth up." That's fine.

    But don't get all asshurt on the internets talkin about this is some big issue with hip-hop.

    Max Weinberg probably got disappointed if he didn't get to backup a some legend who appeared on Conan, but he also probably understood if dude wanted to use his own drummer. He wasn't on video saying "Yo, where's the love, Van Morrison??"

    I respect Quest's musical talent and pedigree, but dude. Shut up already.



    We need a questlove "Where's the love?" Graemlin real quick.

    DRAMA! (not really)

    Meth responds!

    "My personal thing, I can't rock with a band," Mef explained in an interview. "I get drowned out. My voice ain't strong like that. [I haven't performed with the Roots] but I rock they sh*t. I definitely rock they sh*t. But I can't rock with a band, I would love to rock with a band but my voice gets drowned out." (Juan Epstein)

    "I actually thought we made that song sound even better..."

    i listend to the whole juan epstein show earlier and found out pete rock produced that song they're talking about, the new single. I had no clue he did that. I thought it was a soundclick/myspace guy they got for cheap.

    As for the questlove thing who cares. I think everyone commented in a playful manner.

    Who's the dude in between them? Cipha Sounds? Is he the DJ in question? No pun intended.
