      You should check out his books, he's a pretty cool dude. This "daily schedule" is pretty made up, though. 100 songs a day in a cab ride? 😁

    • @dodrums7779
      @dodrums7779 3 года назад +4

      @@ram-4 IF it’s true, he’s probably only listening for ten seconds, categorizes it and goes on to the next song. Sounds horrible to me though... if I discover any song that I like, I’m going to listen to it multiple times that day. But I guess Questlove is a walking encyclopedia of music, so it makes sense for him to do something like this.
