i mean... honestly,
i am probablly a bigger fan of quest the music historian
than i am of quest the musician.

which is not to say that he's not a beast of a musican.
but he always has so much insight as a historian
that anytime i youtube a performance,

i inevitably stumble onto an interview,
and i end up watching all of his interviews.




i mean... i like to think that i know
like, a little bit about music.

quest makes me feel like i don't know shit, like... at all.


like, honestly... i feel that i could live for another 60 yrs,
dilligently pursuing information,
and i wouldn't still wouldn't know as much about music
as quest knows now.


i don't know how he has time to listen to all of this music
and form an opinion about it.


like... dude's knowledge is like an encycolpedia.
i so wish he'd write a few books.

i know he's busy,
but just want a book from quest about music.




and to be honest, how many journalists
really have a cool perspective on the artistic side of
black artists?
that's just a side you really can't hear unless you look for it.




yeah, i'm dick riding.
so what.


questlove... if you're reading this...
you're the man.
