They always seemed real uneasy with their success among the young white folks of America. This doesn't exactly seem like a departure from that career path. When they go back to touring (my guess: limited dates, Summer '09), their crowd is going to be that much out of touch with hip-hop. "Hey did you hear who's opening for Dave Matthews Band? It's the group that plays on the 'Jimmy Fallon Show.'"b, 21b, 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dominoes22.gif" alt="" 21

Ive seen them live and have seen lots of other bands, and they shit on half the 'proper' (non hip hop) bands Ive heard... Plus I love the fact they still tilt their hat to the golden era of hip hop while exporing new sounds.b, 21b, 21Questlove = musical geniusb, 21b, 21Would be dope to hear them do an instrumental only album.
b, 21b, 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/formpager3xk.gif" alt="" 21 b, 21b, 21h, 21b, 21b, 21?love does all the talking for the group. b, 21Plus he works producing and other musical projects. b, 21Easy to think he drives the group musically. b, 21b, 21I would guess that Kamal and Hub have a lot to say about the groups direction. b, 21b, 21Those guys don't get half the love they deserve. (or hate if you hate the Roots.)
Go watch Block Party.... and see how many ppl he plays drums for at that gig, and how hes directing all the musos while hes behind the drums while also having lots of fun... b, 21b, 21Quest love, to me has musical talent, wisdom and passion all rolled into one... they have paid their dues, why cant they taste some success? b, 21b, 21Dudes seriously hate him here? I didnt know you guys suffered from the Tall Poppy Syndrome too....
Look, I know the dude, and have worked alongside him for years. He's unbelievably talented. Talk as much shit as you want but it's 100% legit about his musical gift.

b, 21b, 21I don't hate them, I like them. b, 21But it is hip in these parts to hate them.b, 21b, 21I don't want to take anything from Quest, he's the leader. But if you overlook Hub and Kamal, just because they aren't out front you are missing.
b, 21b, 21Well he was the Voodoo/D'Angelo musical director. Ill give a "Genius" nod on that,but Genius is thrown around way too much. b, 21b, 21h, 21b, 21b, 21Wasn't that Soulquarians? What's that keyboard players name?
