    I still remember the first time I heard The Roots , as a 15 years old metalhead. What struck me the most was the drumming. The groove, the dynamics! Questlove is one of the most talented drummers in the industry. Mad respect!

      Same age, me and friends were all DIY punk rockers (with the jackets with spikes and patches , the zines, and whatnot), and every one of us had the roots and KRS-One records to go with our Crass, Rancid, and Propagandhi 7 inches.

    Went to see The Roots for the first time in college. They were playing on campus. I was always a huge fan since their Organix debut. Couldn’t wait to see them live…As the crowd was waiting, we see Black Thought (Tariq) walk out to the mic and he solemnly announces that he’s received news that Jam Master Jay from the seminal hip hop group Run-DMC had been shot (that there was a possibility he was severely injured or possibly no longer with us)…My heart sank cuz Run DMC were one of the reasons I fell in luv w/ the genre as a child. There was no smart phones back then to get updates on the matter so all I could think about was the possibility that JMJ was no longer w/ us. But The Roots came out anyway and blew the doors off the place. Quest was in his bag that night…Their performance was mind boggling. It wasn’t until hours later when I stepped one foot back home when my mother immediately told me that “That some hip hop person you would know was murdered”. I froze in place….I thank Quest and The Roots for positively distracting me from my emotions that night…Still one of the best live performances I’ve ever witnessed.

    This is probably in the top 5 interviews I’ve ever seen on Conan. Even though I watched Questlove at his regular Brooklyn Bowl DJ sessions back in the mid 2010s , and listening to Roots albums prior to that and seeing them live, you still don’t get a sense of how incredibly interesting and hilarious this guy is until this convo. Please more of these kind of interviews!

      You don't get why he threw up or don't get why it's funny?
      He threw up because he was nervous/ anxious after suddenly meeting the woman from Sesame Street [some people vomit under high stress situations].
      It's funny because he had no nerves performing at Radio City Music Hall with no notice, but got overwhelmed by just seeing the Sesame street lady.

    Questlove has been an advocate for racial discrimination and violence on Jews in Hollywood. A rather funny part about it is that the best Roots cd involved major participation from a Jewish artist, and his film was produced by a Heb.
