    This is the surprise guest we didn’t know we needed. We hear him play on Fallon, but this is full-blown conversation…and he’s INTERESTING!

      Questlove has a wealth of knowledge in not only music, but tons of other stuff. He is a fascinating person just on how much information and knowledge he has in his head and can recall things.

      Check out his full 50 minute interview with Nardwuar to see how deep his music history expertise really is...impressive and interesting guy, for sure

      I highly highly highly recommend reading his book Mo' Meta Blues. It is f-ing *amazing*, honest, joyful, funny, and a total celebration of humanity and music.

    Whatever people may think of Fallon as a late night host, this video is just proof that you really can’t judge a book by its cover. Jimmy sounds like a great person to have as a friend.

    Everyone's ganging up on Fallon right now but it would be interesting to know what Questlove has to say about the so called "toxic" environment at the show. Not saying it is a perfect lovey dovey atmosphere but also calling bullshit on some of the things said about Jimmy.

    EDIT: It seems I might be wrong, he's apparently both a terrible host, laughs at a pin dropping, and also has a toxic workplace? yikes
    I'll be honest I don't watch Fallon because I can't stand him, and how he laughs at everything even when it's not funny, but at least by all accounts he's a good dude and takes care of his people, unlike trash such as Ellen and Corden

    • @aazaasaa
      @aazaasaa Рік тому +14

      He's not great at interviewing people but when he's around his friends for example the roots or his snl cast mate you can clearly see how funny he is.

      @frankaragon1228 Рік тому +13

    I am a fan of the podcast and have enjoyed all of them but not this one. And, I get it that there is this exclusive language spoken amongst black artists but frankly, all the pauses and lingo left me wondering how this guy could hold such respect and esteem amongst his peers but have such a problem conveying his life and story into easily understood English. Bad interview that left me annoyed.
