Questlove On What Inspires Him (Video)

Man, mucho love to Questo! It seems really rare to see such an esteemed Hip-Hop artist such as ?uest that is deeply in love with MUSIC -as in any and all genres- and being able to find and pull inspiration from all genres. I was once so deadlocked in only Hip-Hop music, but DJing helped my foray into other genres. That’s one of the beauties of digging in crates: finding those gems, whether it be some ill drum breaks from a heavy metal band or synths from a cheesy-ass 80s soundtrack: there’s inspiration in almost anything you can find. Anyhow, enough rambling. What are some other genres of music you listen to besides Rap? Personally, I’ve been digging some Bollywood Funk and Japanese Funk. Peace to The Bee Shine.
