      @Therealmoseslupai in only about 35 minutes, is all essential for a great ood hip-hop to me. Danger Mouse does a great job. All the samples/instrumentals from these absolutely amazing 'oldies' lead to an unbelievable vibe. And Thought is doing his best work to me on that one.
      I've been at 'The Roots' live in Munich, Germany in 1999. Most of the attention was on Questlove at the time. I had a hard job as a landscape gardener and was so tired that I fell asleep at a table we were standing...
      Thought was never bad or 08/15, but not that oustanding. That collabo album with El Michaels Affair is also a good album 👌.. Peace ✌️
