— Questlove on his upcoming documentary on the history of music on Saturday Night Live:
The whole experience is the same as “Summer of Soul.” At first, I said, “Just let me get the 20 coolest performances, let’s cut and paste it, and that’s it.” But I’m not at the place where I’m ready to say: “OK, here’s what you asked for. Where’s my money?” I want to make history buffs and nerds feel good about this show, and I want future creatives to get a master class on how to take risks and be creative.
Funding member of groundbreaking hip-hop group The Roots, member of the Soulquarians, Fallon’s in-house band (neglectable), author of books on music history and creativity and music-history documentary film maker. Questlove is manifesting himself as one of the most important and influential cultural icons of our times.
