While the album’s release has been delayed until August here in the States, peep the interview to hear her discuss the motivation behind the music, why it’s universal to everyone, and how she’s hoping it helps kill off ringtone singles. She also talked about her Canadian/West Indian background, the process of crossing over to America’s music industry by signing with Steve Rifkind’s SRC label, touring with Kanye West, and more.

Method Man and Redman respond to ?uestlove’s latest video (seen after the jump) about them not wanting to be backed by The Roots. ?uest does seem a bit disappointed but Red & Meth have their own views and you gotta respect that. I would personally love to see that go down. The Roots backing up anyone instantly ups the ante on their performance. Straight up. I also included the full interview (with Busta Rhymes) on Juan Epstein after the jump as a bonus…

Alongside Angela Yee on the Shade45 Morning Show; ?uestlove & Black Thought sit down for their first interview since becoming the house band on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon. I had no idea they signed on for five years. That’s crazy haha. Also, hit the jump as ?uest & Thought speak on their worst fight.
I haven’t gotten to watch Jimmy Fallon’s show yet, but these performance clips are fucking dope. In this particular clip, Luda performs Last of a Dying Breed & I Do It For Hip Hop, backed by Black Thought & legendary Roots crew!
Now this is a great idea. Loud has linked up with JamNow to present the Knitting Factory Resurrection. An audio x video x picture x words audio/video/picture/words series that will showcase the very last show at the legendary venue. The first installment is an extremely crisp audio stream of Black Thought’s entire set (with some occasional backspins by ?uestlove). Hit the jump for that and be on the look out for more segments…UPDATE: Download link added.
