#Questlove #HipHop #Music
"Black music 🎶 has always been the prologue to social change."
~ Quincy Jones, American musican and record and film 🎥 producer.
Rapper's Delight lit the spark. The Message by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious 5 was the first rap that felt like I was asked to lend a hand in writing it. Public Enemy was the first rap group that felt and sounded like it was made just for me. Rage Against The Machine was the first group that merged my love for rap, my love for rock, my love for social awareness, and the need to participate in The Struggle and my love for my people in this country and abroad. Everyone else, in my mind, is still just beginning to catch up to those musical landmarks in hip-hop in my mind. I thank plenty for even trying to keep that flame alive. ✊🏾
"When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. ✨️ Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, 🙄 😒 😕 😐 😑 they go there to lose it." 😁
~ James Brown (1933-2006), American singer, writer, dancer, and producer. 🎶
This small town(pop 642) Wisconsin boy loved P.E. I still listen to them. I always thought that Bring The Noise never got the credit it deserved as a rock/rap crossover. The electricity that Welcome To The Terrordome brought to Mike Tyson walking out to fight for the belt....woohoo!!
"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside--a desire, a dream, and a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."
~ Muhammad Ali (1942-2016), American professional boxer, humanitarian, activist, and philanthropist.
"Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth."
~ Muhammad Ali (1942-2016), American professional boxer, humanitarian, activist, and philanthropist. Ali was the original author of this now very famous quote. He shared it in a magazine interview.
The Roots are my number one hip-hop group and Black Thought is second only to Rakim for best all time rapper.
My favorite albums in the late 80s where the 1st 3 albums from P.E. I could do my workout for 2 hours with those 3 albums alone... that and U2's Joshua Tree!
Ari Melber should have interview Quest love
That's who I thought was going to do the interview!
That's who I thought was going to do the interview!
Ari Melber should be getting his TDS look at.
@@MochaMan.
Yeeehaaaw cleetus
@@jaundice_japlin OKAY RACIST
"Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. 🎶 But, man, there's no boundary line to art."
~ Charlie Parker ( 1920-1955), American jazz saxophonist, and composer.
PE... when I first heard "Fear of a Black Planet," I was hooked. "Cause I'm louder than a bomb!"
Funny watching Mika have no idea what they’re talking about… 😂
Hip-Hop Don’t Stop!🎼🎵🎶
"Gospel music 🎶 in those days of the early 1930s was really taking wing. It was the kind of music colored people had left behind them down south, and they liked it because it was just like a letter from home."
~ Mahalia Jackson (1912-1972), American singer and actress. The great migration by Black people from the South. ✨️
"Got to give us what we want
Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech 💬 is freedom or death
We got to fight the powers that be."
~ Public Enemy, "Fight the Power."
Great piece!!!
Everybody knows Minka and Jo grew up listening to hip-hop, while Brandon was growing up in the black church
NWA What does that mean? Inquiring minds want to know
With grifters like Robin Deangelo and Ibram X Kendi, it’s difficult to take the anti-racist movement seriously.
Yeah I'm sure you and the rest of the Klan were real keen on it before
@@bluehealer81Kendi is a lot like the klan in how he believes in discriminatory policies.
If nature sounds are going to be the next big thing, I'm already hearing the birds...they LOUD!😂😂 I'll get Amir book!😎
i dont like hip hop but i like that others do...
Fight the power!
But if the power has a yarmulke on….never mind.
I know that if The elders of hip-hop criticized current hip-hop they're looked at as The get off my lawn old men and women. So they resist criticizing this new Manifestation or mutated hip-hop. They don't want to say that it is weaponized against black people, That it is dangerous to black people. I get it but it's so frustrating that The elders can't truly criticize something that the black community can do without🤷🏿
For 100 points: What was the cause of brother ?uestion's pants falling down leading to Black Thought's laughter?
Hint: Does anybody like real music?
Hold on... there are *literally* Russian nuclear subs armed with Hyper-sonic missiles off the coast of Florida... Right Now ???
Calm yourself!!! President Biden has got this.
@@DavidJ222 LOL.
He's off soiling himself in a far off land again.
If you scared say you scared.
@@MochaMan. And Trump is in a black church full of white people🤷🏿
He said it great. He deserves his nice vacation.
ahmir thompson really
Public Enemy > Kid Rock
Thomas Sowell > Ibram X Kendi
@@roejogan7770 Both of my examples are hip hop musicians. One of the people in your example is an economist, the other is human rights activist. Don't try to be clever, son, intelligence and you parted ways a long time ago
@@bluehealer81Both of my examples are authors. Kendi calls for current day discrimination.
is vanilla ice hip hop ?
A mutated offspring🤔
Racism REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
May I add that Nelly Furtado was a hip hop queen, early in her career ❤❤
no, you may not add that. She was not even close to being a queen. And Im a fan.
Did she sing about her WAP ?
Nelly Furtado??!! I would put Debbie Harry Or Tina Marie up there before Nelly Furtado🤷🏿
@@generalinformation3507 of hip hop? Nope
THIS fella gets on TV with a purple and pink outfit and has the temerity to be critical of Pac?!?! SMH 😂😂😂😂
Msnbc is like reading rainbow. Great for book promotions but no real news
I still love those days when Questlove would DJ at Silk City Lounge in Philly even after all that fame!
My first show was Primus, Anthrax, and Public Enemy in 1991.
Primus sucks
@@bluehealer81 You're name is mud.
@@robynsegg Actually its Aloysius Devadander Abercrombie
@bluehealer81 yes they do but I do like the South Park theme song lol
@evilscorpio1981 You don't know what he's talking about, but I forgive you.
My favorite is WAP it's so inspiring for young Black girls, sing-along Mika sing-along
As much as I loved Chuck D and Public Enemy growing up, they are a HUGE reason middle-aged black men don't vote. Their message is counterproductive to today's politics and unfortunately their listeners did not properly grow into the present.
Yes, but they had to sing their frustration.
Really?! Name me one Public Enemy lyric that says don't vote. Public Enemy was the black panthers of hip-hop, but even the black panthers never said don't vote. People on the outside looking in shouldn't have opinions about black music👀
@@generalinformation3507 I'm just gonna let you read what I said again. And if you still can't overstand it, read it again
@@babyblue704 And by the way I am a middle age black man and A big fan of Public Enemy and have voted in every election🤔
@@generalinformation3507 good for you
This was weird.
WORD$, I GREW UP LISTENING TO N.W.A, SOUTH SIDE South Side...
