So that's right, that's not true. That's very nice though.
That's right, give it up.
Speaker 10 (06:00):
Are you guys aware that everyone has like legacy here
that it's it's not about me, it's about like the team,
like we know fan Takeolotle, but Bill Sherman is doctor Tony.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Here, like besides besides Hamilton in the Heights, what else?
Speaker 10 (06:19):
And Juliet on Sesame Street of course, like if your
kids watched Sesame Street, he's the reason why I was
on Sesame Street.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Like he writes all the.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Songs for the d and he's unexpectedly tall.
Speaker 10 (06:34):
You said, yeah, I was going to say, uh, back
when I had eighteen jobs. One of those jobs you
you had James Poison and I do some music for
Pharrell song yep on Sesame Street.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So that was for books. These for books. That that
was my good talk.
Speaker 10 (06:51):
Steve, of course, who who's an avid jazz head in
addition to being an engine like you know, he's engineered
a co engineer all the albums that we love, like
Voodoo and like all the common stuff like water for Chocolate,
Like Steve is the engineer's engineer. But you know, Steve
is also a really engaging figure. So you know, I
(07:13):
told him it's time for you to get from behind
the boards and be in front of the boards. And
you started your jazz label, and you know, we we
previewed this week the new project. What's it called.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
It's called Plum Feature. The first time you're on the
label now with David Murray and Ray Angle.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
This will be my second jazz album.
Speaker 10 (07:34):
Well, we have the filled Up experiment back in class
two thousand and one and now if you follow me
on Instagram, you know I'm the king of like cryptic posts.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
So during the pandemic we did it. It was not
even a jazz record. It's a jazz box set. It's
like fusion something. How many hours is this the record?
It's two and a half hours, four LPs, And yeah,
he's it's a jazz So it's like limited edition or
everything's limited edition. When you think about it, folks, who
else is on your label? Who else?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Is just all the greats in jazz right now, like
David Murray and Eric Harland and.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
This summer, can we make the announcement of what the
next project is.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Well, we're dropping your album right the first singles coming
out in like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Wait.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Jazz records have singles. Jazz records have singles. Because we
want to get on playlists.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay, cool, all right, So the.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
First single from your box set's coming out in a
couple weeks, and then we're going to drop the whole
album digitally a month later, middle of July, you can
hear the whole thing, and then.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Then later this summer, can we tell them what we're
going to work on next? Well, yeah, unless what you're
doing next interferes with what we're supposed to be.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Secret.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Here, here's the deal.
Speaker 10 (08:46):
What I was planned on doing next just got pushed
to September, so I kind of have the summer free
to work on what I'm talking about?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Is it Aristocrats?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
The Aristocrats? The Aristocrats for me in the X rated movie?
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Is it?
Speaker 12 (09:04):
No?
Speaker 10 (09:06):
No, it's it's well. I mean, we we announced that
we're doing the the Lled, the Dour, the Grammy. You
remember what y'all saw the Grammy thing a tour. Did
y'all know that we're pushing it back a couple of
months to make it perfect?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
So then great, And if the Tonight Show still on strike,
we could actually right so we can make more albums.
Speaker 10 (09:27):
So basically, when I'm not working at the Tonight Show,
then I get more jobs completed, so I can stop
doing jobs. So it's been an interesting break. I feel
like we're boring. I feel like there's nothing in your math.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
And having cryptic talk. We don't know what y'all talking about.
Speaker 10 (09:43):
Okay, So if you remember the Bob James episode of
Quest Love Supreme, the last five minutes, we kind of
talked about, hey, let's get in the studio together and
make an album. If you don't know Bob James, Bob
James is you know legendary jazz. All the samples. If
you love Peter Piper by run DMC, those are his drums.
(10:05):
If you love Daytona five hundred by Tank Can all
that stuff, that's Bob James. Like so many samples. So
we're gonna go and knock out a record.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Because you know, okay, tell us some more secrets.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's it, you know. That's but I will say that tonight.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Y'all they know already.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
They don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Yes, y'all know about tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
No, no, no, no no. But here's the deal.
Speaker 10 (10:38):
There's a look for the older people that are like
I might turn in early and you know whatever, when
I when I tell you and look.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
We we know that time is a time? Is a
is a bottle?
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Limit time?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
When I when I tell you, if what I just
learned in the.
Speaker 10 (11:05):
Last seventy two hours, if it comes to fruition, this
will be the roots picnic to beat historic like this
is nothing. I had nothing to do with it. So
I'm just saying that I got a phone call and
I got a proposition about something, and.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It's happening.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
So you are in case, you know, in case you
want to sort of kind of like m I turn
in at seven o'clock or eight.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You don't want to look on your Instagram and realize
that you missed a once in a lifetime thing. And
so tonight's the thing to stay for it give.

for real, Like this.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
Gentleman is able to do something that I've yet to do,
which is I mean, you guys just sell out. I
mean you could probably sell out Madison Square Garden right now,
like three times that.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I know you're like, man embarrassed right now.
Speaker 10 (15:21):
No, but he is as far as like drummers are concerned,
he's like one of my favorite drummers. And you know,
if you're not into the group, you got to get

Speaker 2 (15:32):
It's there. They're a trio and anyway, So how's it going?
Speaker 13 (15:37):
It's good man, all right.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
I know you came up here because you're a massive
Isley Brothers fan.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yes, I have to say that at six pm, it's
going to be amazing.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Can you tell us just like one thing about that
you did? You have you been able to hear the
set here?
Speaker 10 (15:56):
I'm putting it together. That's this is the only thing
I'm doing a picnic musically. What wait, the roots aren't performing?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
What the whole goal? Like remember on the podcast where
we were like, look, Amir you have too many jobs.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
So I was serious last year when I said the
whole goal is that, you know, I want this festival
to run itself without the roots having to perform. Now, granted,
last night we did our show at the Wells Fargo Center,
which it was an important bucket list moment for Tarika
and I because, like, you know, we always dreamed to
(16:34):
play the Spectrum or you know, like how many titles
has that building had?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Besides there was the Spectrum? Wait, why do you look
disappointed that?
Speaker 6 (16:42):
Because I was trying to think like first Junion, first Union, right.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It was so many things.
Speaker 10 (16:46):
But last night we did to a sold out crowd,
played the the Wells Fargo.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Man, say, the spectrum, that's what it is. I still
say this.
Speaker 10 (16:55):
Do you guys call it the spectrum or do you
call Wells Fargo that means y'all were born in the nineties.
Ye see, I'm born in the seventies. We're forever going
to call that the spectrum. So anyway, anyway, so as
a result, I mean, Tarka is still going to do
his mixtape mixtape thing, and James Boys and I are
(17:17):
going to do this sole Quarium thing, and we're backing
up the Isley Brothers.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I will have to. I want to make a quick
announcement that it was supposed to be the Isley Brothers.
Amroy Airs. Brother Airs has fallen ill.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
Yes, he caught COVID over in Greece, so keep him
in your thoughts and prayers. He's over in the hospital
in Greece right now recovering. He's doing well, but he
won't be able to make it because he has to
recover him from COVID.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
But yes, we have this, Oh my.

Speaker 16 (19:58):
We were on mat Miller I'll be there was that correct? Absolutely? Facts, Yeah,
it's our first time meeting. Yeah, yeah, man, that's what
I just found that out like a year or two ago.
Beans and corn bread and it was oh man, respect
by respect absolutely.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
Wait, y'all did a cover of beans and corporate bright
Louis Jordan, No, no, no, it was it was it
was the song I'll Be there by. It was by
Mac Miller.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It was okay, okay, okay, I missed that part. I
thot you meant.
Speaker 13 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
They did the tracks right, that's why I not Mexica.
Speaker 16 (20:31):
Nah, man, we did that joint. Yeah, that was like
twenty eleven, I think something a minute ago. But not
good to meet man a little rap after this.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Sure he flew up, uh once he found out that
we were backing up the Isley Brothers today.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I couldn't miss this. You know something else?
Speaker 10 (20:47):
All right, So I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you a
question and fine, you can answer this. So I curated
the the set, the music that we're doing it that okay,
for the for the Isley business, right, the legendary seven
decades in the game Osley Brothers, and you know I
happen to be hanging with some people yesterday that were
(21:09):
born in the late eighties early nineties, and so they
asked me like, hey, are you guys going to perform
the C word? And I said no, and right right,
and the shame that they put on me because we
(21:33):
were not going to perform the song written by the
artists that I guess we don't mention anymore, right, And
it wasn't even that like it just totally I totally
forget that the Isley Brothers have a whole new identity
to a generation facts in the nineties. But you know,
I'm trying to cover like the classic samples and all
(21:55):
that stuff, and so from one to ten like.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Is contagious also canceled or.
Speaker 14 (22:05):
No?
Speaker 16 (22:07):
Not for me, listen, I mean because when for me
it was when when when he when you don't start
off pooling, when we don't do it?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Look listen, not in the set list. My thing is
is not.
Speaker 16 (22:18):
I don't think it's up to the audience. I think
it's up to the artists. When Ron did versus, when
Ron did his verses, he did, though all them are
killing records, he did all of them.
Speaker 10 (22:27):
So if he good with it, then what the fuck
we got to say about it, like that's his voice,
those are his records.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
He's standing on it, then, Ship, But that was not
That wasn't me taking a stand.
Speaker 10 (22:37):

to still have his gift to have his voice. I mean,
I think you celebrate his whole catalog whatever he wants

don't know how many more times we're gonna have this
experience to be able to see him. We don't know
how many you know, how many more festions he got? Man,

Speaker 6 (23:43):
Speaking of set list though, so it's a historic weekend

Speaker 2 (23:54):
What night are you guys with? Tomorrow?
Speaker 10 (23:56):

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Just I love it. I love it. That's a perfect Sunday.
It's great. You know.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Some wait, not not to bring up things that won't happen,
but you know, I've shared this story with you guys before,
but now I'm glad, Okay, I'm kind of glad that
the weather is sort of in the condition it is now.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay, So back when before us are graciously agreed to
come and headline, back when we were in Diddy World.
The first three weeks.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Of planning, normally we start planning what we're going to
do around February, and for about three weeks we didn't
even start with the music. We started with the conversation
of He said, if I do the picnic. I want
to have the greatest intro row of all time. And
(25:02):
I'm like, well, okay, what does that consist of? And
he was like, yo, I want to enter with a
helicopter and then I want to jump out the helicopter
and parachute onto a target in the middle of the crowd.
And you know, I was like, take that, Take that.
(25:26):
And I told him, I was like, yo, like if
like what if it's cloudy and this.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I gave him a billion reasons and that he's one
of them cats, like if you say no to him,
that'll just make him fight harder too.
Speaker 10 (25:42):
So I had to like Jedi mind trick him and
be like, hey, that is a good idea. And then
something he was like, all right, never mind, I don't
want to do it. So but you know, I kept
saying like, if it's cloudy or whatever, then we won't
be able to do it because you can't have a
helicopter this low on people. Well you guys get injured.
You'd have to be up in the air and that's
(26:03):
too dangerous. He's like, it's not gonna be cloudy, and
thank god, I was right. It's clouds cloudy.
Speaker 11 (26:09):
Remember the time Diddy couldn't jump out the helicopter because
it was cloudy. That's like a real sentence that was
just broken in a room full of people.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
He didn't jump out of helicopter at fifty four years old. Well, yeah, man,
So yeah there's that. How many minutes we got?
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Like, oh, we got like fifteen fifteen old minutes? Oh
we we could do some questions and do something y'all want.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You're a great host. I love this. You're an awesome host.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
So no, I was just gonna say, why don't we
like have a little bit of fun, do some QLs
trivia a little bit or anybody got we got questions?
Because like this is really the first time that we're
dedicating this podcast thing to our listeners. So y'all tell us,
y'all got questions, y'all, won't we gonna have some fun? Casey,
I already know you got questions. I already know I
already know.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
But in the yeah, let let melodec holes punk ass
ask the first question.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
All Right, I'm the only person.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
A middle finger and security rough as it.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Out, you're punk out.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Cameras don't work, all right, this is my nemesis.
Speaker 10 (27:21):
He d Cole always snarking on my insteoo. You know
how legit black people that like any comment that he
puts on w wow. Why because there's there's a price
to pay for siding with Melody Cole.
Speaker 13 (27:40):
You need to be humbled.
Speaker 10 (27:42):
Wait let me, I'll explain that the genesis of our beef,
like it's really not beef. Melody Cole used to make
fun of a sweater that he used to always wear
twenty four to seven and where it's right and then
I lost that sweater?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But who was it?
Speaker 13 (27:58):
What?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
What's her name? What's her name? And transformers?
Speaker 13 (28:01):
Megan Fox?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Megan Fox?
Speaker 10 (28:03):
Right, she complimented that sweater and I was like, all
right now, I'm really gonna wear this ship.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
And he started hating because she liked it. You didn't
just wear it, you slept in it. Yeah you're lived
in it. But yeah, meanative Fox. That's all right, all right,
all right? So what's your question? Mal I really don't
have a question. Do someone have a real question for
West Love Supreme?
Speaker 13 (28:30):
Who has a real question? I really don't have a question.
I was joking.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It was.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
Hi Quest Love, Hello and High Team Supreme and Donald
from Crumbin everyone Hi everyone.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
I'm a Philadelphia native, West Philly, West.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Philly now saying what part are you allowed to say.
Speaker 13 (28:51):
Lancaster.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I'm not so out in when we like around forty six?
Oh this Lancaster. Yes, down here, ten trolley. Okay, I
got it good.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I am a starting podcaster myself, so my question will
be how did you start your podcast?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
How you get followers? And they forced me at comp No, wait, Liah,
how did we start?
Speaker 15 (29:18):
What?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
She don't even remember the genesis? Well, you just reminded
me that this is our seventh year.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah, when did we start?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
How do we started? We started? She's starting her own podcast, and.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
I waked and baked.
Speaker 13 (29:30):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
She hung up for me.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I think I came to you and said, hey, uh
yeah's your podcast? This started?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Okay, So Steve said, I'm a big star. You're a
big star. Let's let's get together and we'll be a
bigger star.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Steve had a collection.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
No, Steve had a collection of these fake radio shows
that he would host when he were like eleven and twelve. Yeah, yeah, right,
And then I used to I think everyone does that,
like everyone in our medium does the thing where they
do like, Hey, I'm a I'm a DJ, and you
do fake radio shows and we were just like, hey,
why don't.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
We do this one day? And then I was a
massive fan of Fonte's.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
Radio, the Guard Gartrell radio show that he did with
former boss Bill and the ship.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I did when I was eleven was better than that Fonte.
Speaker 10 (30:22):
And then Laiah, of course is a legendary h Philadelphia
radio personality, power and other areas. And then we yanked
Bill in because he was our well, Hamilton was red
hot back in twenty fourteen, and he was our first gout.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I was the first I called you. I called you
because Rudolph My Rudolph had to postpone a week and
we needed practice. So you the next step after my rude,
and that was a three hour episode.
Speaker 16 (30:56):
Absolutely to answer to answer that question, to answer I
was even gonna start a podcast. Definitely invest in like
cameras or like I mean not, you've got about it.
You can use your phone, but if you're making a
podcast now you pretty much are shooting a TV show basically,
like if you don't have the video element, you have
to have the video element to support the audio element.
So at that point it's like, why don't I just
(31:18):
make a video show? So yeah, have you know, that's
how you're gonna sell it. So just whatever your thing is, like,
you know, make sure you got your h visuals for it.
And we are very and we are very slow to
do that.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
We got a whole soft salt sauce soft launch on YouTube.
It's like for those who know.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
You know, an extremely soft launch soft y'all.
Speaker 10 (31:37):
Y'all told me we were on YouTube and I was like, dude,
I'm still in my pajamas.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
Yeah, with your red lights. Yes, it's okay, it's all
about It's okay, it's real dal Okay, last question, what's
your name?
Speaker 17 (31:49):
But it's Paul from the South Side of Chicago. I'm
a fan of everyone on stage.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Guy, my guy. Yes see, I started talking like common yes,
my guy, Hey, what up? Joe?
Speaker 17 (32:01):
Yes, yes, So what I wanted to know is, I
guess I'm a fan of everybody on stage. I don't
know about the two white guys, but I know you
know what, wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Wait, hang on a second.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
Is it possible we can get the microphones in the
front monitors so we can hear what they're saying.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I heard, I heard, I heard that's go go music.
They're okay, They're allowed as hell anyway.
Speaker 17 (32:26):
Okay, So what I want to know? This question is
posed for Fonte. Yeah, will we ever get a ninth
Wonder and Little Brother project?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Again?
Speaker 6 (32:37):
No asking them good questions.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I ain't cut. I believe that things could be mended.
He's saying, no now, but I'm willing that one day
a reunion will happen. I'm willing it. Anything gonna happen
right now.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
It's no, y'all better look at Fonte and believe it.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
No, no, no, no, no, all right, I can show
you better. I can tell you.
Speaker 16 (33:06):
But I was saying, look, the Little Brother documentary made
a little watches coming and we talk about everything.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Can I can I ask something about the documentary? Absolutely?
It is ninth in the documentary.
Speaker 16 (33:17):
No, god, damn man, let me and let me be clear,
let me let me be one hundred percent. We reached out,
we asked, you know, we were like, yo, be a
part of this, you know, come tell your side whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
He never responded, So that's what it is. He might
have had an old number. Oh no, I had the
right number.
Speaker 10 (33:34):
He's currently on my producer's threat right now. All right,
next question, but it was most up from Philly. Hi,
you're saying ten minutes.
Speaker 15 (33:44):
But I had the I had the privilege of going
to Club Fluid for many years, yes, where Questlove was
the DJ, and I wanted to find out, do you
do any DJ and local like local spots like that,
you know what?
Speaker 10 (33:57):
Okay, So just last week or two weeks ago, when
I guess the way that Janet Jackson scheduled her tour.
You know, she was sort of a victim of the
playoff circumstances, so she was actually trapped in Philadelphia for
like ten days while the Sixers were in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Not in the playoff, that sort of thing.
Speaker 10 (34:22):
So we threw her a surprise party at the Divine
Lorraine Motel and it was well, it wasn't even a
we couldn't announce it, announce it. And I guess the
way that Stacy's parties are like, they instantly sell out.
So I will say though that I had so much
fun that Stacey and I talked about they reunited.
Speaker 13 (34:45):
And right.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
High Quest Love. I'm Benjamin. I'm from Germantown, Germantown. Hello, heio,
Benjamin good Good. I have a question.
Speaker 12 (35:00):
I saw you a long time ago at the Middle
East and there was a battle between Scratch and you
were there that night and nice to see you every
Monday at Silk City Wood Britt.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Yeah that night.
Speaker 18 (35:13):
Okay, so people who people went for my question who
did you like working with more Scratch or Roseellee.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Well, here's the weird thing, Like you know, so the
story of that night.
Speaker 10 (35:31):
The Roots did a show at the Middle East in Philadelphia,
and I guess you know, Scratch was in another Philadelphia
group that we Schools of Thought, and you know, we
had Rozelle in the group, and I guess, like, you know,
it's possible that Scratch thought that he's the only bat
(35:52):
box of that level in existence. So when we came
with Rozelle, I guess he he friends were gassing them up,
like oh man, they saw Schools of Thought and put
a be boxer in. But the way the Roots are
is like if we see somebody dope, we just like,
you know, the way that we pulled build into this podcast,
we just hey, you play Tuba, join the Roots. Like
(36:15):
remember when the Roots were just a trio and now
we're like earth Wind and Fire with twelve members. It's
just we don't get rid of members. Well maybe a few,
but there's you know, people just joined the fray. So
during that whole performance, Scratch and that entire crew did
the meldcole and just had middle fingers up and it
(36:37):
was just so random, like why do you guys put
the middle fingers up?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I thought we were cool, and so.
Speaker 10 (36:41):
They battled, and you know, then the show ended and
then we got the last word. We're like, oh, you
want to battle, We're gonna steal your member.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
Get over here.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Then we we stole Scratch from that group and put
him in the group with Rozell.
Speaker 10 (36:57):
I don't know, I have fond memories of working with both,
you know, so shout out to Scratch and Ronzel.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
I don't have a favorite. I love them both. So
thank you.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Mc dows.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I love it. Thank you brother mc dowells. I love
I love that nice.
Speaker 13 (37:15):
God bless you. My name is Jay Love aka six '
nine not shore.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Why to call me? Why?
Speaker 13 (37:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I was like, do we want to pro further.
Speaker 13 (37:24):
To that as we'll talk anyway.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
No, we're not talking.
Speaker 13 (37:28):
I'll tell you anyway.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (37:30):
I'm from Pete Town, Virginia, home of Missy Elliott.
Speaker 14 (37:34):
Yes, oh man yeah, no, no, go ahead, I know
how you trust me. I've been listening since Maya. Rudolph okay,
so I already know that the interesting Twitter relationship so.
Speaker 10 (37:48):
So.
Speaker 14 (37:49):
One of the commonality I thought my voice is gone
because of the Wells Fargo Center yesterday.
Speaker 13 (37:54):
I was super excited and I lost my voice.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
So I apologize, thank you.
Speaker 14 (37:58):
One of the commonalities between and a lot of you
is my man James Yancy.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Yes, and.
Speaker 14 (38:05):
God, I'm getting this video because y'all don't understand how often,
like Monday morning, when those notifications hit that a new
Quest Love Supreme episode is on, I'm listening to it
at work every single time and listening to the classics.
I mean, I listened to him over and over. I
put my friends on right now. They listen to State Property,
but they'll be here, thank you. But I'm telling you,
(38:25):
I just would real quick. I just wanted to ask
because I read diyla time and it talked about the
beat battle that y'all had in the basement yes where
he did the Ashley's Roach clip sample and the shows
that joint. I play it all the time before I
even knew about it. But I understand, of course, with
little brother having a track together that I was supposed
to happen, and y'all left his name in there anyway,
(38:46):
which was beautiful to me. So and I know Steve
has been engineering with him, of course, with like the
like water for chocolate and things of that nature. So
I wanted to ask you, all, the ones that have
a relationship with Dyla, what was your best moment music
with him?
Speaker 16 (39:01):
I can go quick because mine is probably the quickest
story out of everybody. We never got a chance to
work on music together, but we did meet. It was
at Rock the Bells in two thousand and four, and
it was four or five something like that. But anyway,
we were working on minstrel show and by the time
we got to Rock the Bells, Hiding Place was already done.
(39:22):
When we reached out to him to we wanted him
to rhyme. Originally Hide in Place was going to be
him and L's a rhyming on it. We wanted both
of them, but at the time we didn't know how
sick he was, and we were recording in North Carolina,
but we couldn't figure it out. But anyway, we saw
him some months later at Rock the Bells and I
got a chance to play it for it, and I
(39:43):
played in the track and I was like, yo, man,
this is joint we wanted you on, but we got
l on it. We finished it, you know, I hope
you like it. And we just played it and like
he was not into it, and now it was over,
he was like, Yo, it's dope.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
It's dope. He didn't really say a whole lot. He
was like, yo, he dapped me up.
Speaker 16 (39:58):
And I was like, yo, man, just thank you for
the music, man, like you really are, like kind of
was like a north Star in a lot of ways,
you know. So I was just thankful I got to
give him those flowers and him and mad Lib Rock
they did a jay libset and uh and that Yeah,
that was it.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
So yeah, I'll rep you. Uh it was an electric Lady.
Speaker 5 (40:17):
It was probably water for Chocolate sessions and uh, Dyla
was using my personal MPC the two thousand, which I hear.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I broke it. No you're still using it now.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
Yeah, he was using that one, and y'all were huddled
around him, you common James, whoever was there, Pino and
everybody was just watching him make a beat on the NPC.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Ever was studying right like it was a bunch of
gods watching another god. Yes, you know, like do what
they do? That was like that. I don't remember what
what song it was or anything, but that was, you know,
at the studio.
Speaker 10 (40:51):
Here's the story. I don't think I've ever shared it before. Like,
I know that the the opinions of Commons Electric Sir
this album have changed in the last twenty years. Like
there's a lot of snark in the beginning, a lot
of he fell off, he got whatever, and then people
came around to it, and I know that one of
(41:13):
the most difficult songs to sort of digest was Jimmy
Was a rock Star And here's the thing. The next
two Time Traveling on like Water for Chocolate. That's literally
I think Time Traveling and Jimmy Was a rock Star
(41:35):
was one of the only times in which the four
original Soul Aquarians, James di'angelo, Dila.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Myself actually played like together at the same time.
Speaker 10 (41:50):
So for like for Time Traveling, Dila was on roads
doing the baseline first, and then I Can and then
James is on the Oregon. Then DeAngelo came in last
and did that little woodblocky thing that's on Commons Verse.
But the the jam session that resulted into Jimmy was
(42:12):
a rock star. Like I think the raw tape is
like that was damn there, like a thirty minute jam
session that I didn't expect to ever see the light
of a day on a record. But Common was just
at a place where if it didn't sound like a
head nodter thing.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Then he was going to put it on the record.
Speaker 10 (42:33):
So we were just fucking around with like new keyboards
and technology because when Dyla, when we first started the project,
Dyla's like, all right, everything that we used to do,
do the opposite, So new keyboards, new drum machines, new
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
I didn't change my drums.
Speaker 10 (42:49):
I refused to, but like and like pro tools instead
of tape and just a whole yeah, Like we just
did the exact opposite of like water for chocolate and
with him, like he was just messing around with different
frequencies and different new moves and all that stuff. So
we were just fucking around and then next thing I know,
(43:09):
Common found a good nine minute inside that thirty minute
psychedelic jam and next thing I know is a complete song.
So also what's good about that was when we were
doing the final mix, that's when Prince came to visit US.
So in addition, like Prince and Dilla worked, I like
(43:33):
the fact that Star sixty nine there on that track together.
You know, Dyla started the track and then Prince came
in out of his guitar parts later.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
So you know, wow, cool, cool, cool stories. Wow.
Speaker 6 (43:46):
Listen, y'all. I think that's a wrap before we go.
Oh things to look forward to. I was thinking we
could share with everybody coming up West Left suprem episodes
that you might want to pay attention to. I'm a
just shout out President Bill Clinton. That's right, that happened
in real life and in person.
Speaker 2 (44:02):

Speaker 2 (05:55):
So that's right, that's not true. That's very nice though.
That's right, give it up.
Speaker 10 (06:00):
Are you guys aware that everyone has like legacy here
that it's it's not about me, it's about like the team,
like we know fan Takeolotle, but Bill Sherman is doctor Tony.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Here, like besides besides Hamilton in the Heights, what else?
Speaker 10 (06:19):
And Juliet on Sesame Street of course, like if your
kids watched Sesame Street, he's the reason why I was
on Sesame Street.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Like he writes all the.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Songs for the d and he's unexpectedly tall.
Speaker 10 (06:34):
You said, yeah, I was going to say, uh, back
when I had eighteen jobs. One of those jobs you
you had James Poison and I do some music for
Pharrell song yep on Sesame Street.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So that was for books. These for books. That that
was my good talk.
Speaker 10 (06:51):
Steve, of course, who who's an avid jazz head in
addition to being an engine like you know, he's engineered
a co engineer all the albums that we love, like
Voodoo and like all the common stuff like water for Chocolate,
Like Steve is the engineer's engineer. But you know, Steve
is also a really engaging figure. So you know, I
(07:13):
told him it's time for you to get from behind
the boards and be in front of the boards. And
you started your jazz label, and you know, we we
previewed this week the new project. What's it called.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
It's called Plum Feature. The first time you're on the
label now with David Murray and Ray Angle.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
This will be my second jazz album.
Speaker 10 (07:34):
Well, we have the filled Up experiment back in class
two thousand and one and now if you follow me
on Instagram, you know I'm the king of like cryptic posts.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
So during the pandemic we did it. It was not
even a jazz record. It's a jazz box set. It's
like fusion something. How many hours is this the record?
It's two and a half hours, four LPs, And yeah,
he's it's a jazz So it's like limited edition or
everything's limited edition. When you think about it, folks, who
else is on your label? Who else?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Is just all the greats in jazz right now, like
David Murray and Eric Harland and.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
This summer, can we make the announcement of what the
next project is.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Well, we're dropping your album right the first singles coming
out in like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Wait.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Jazz records have singles. Jazz records have singles. Because we
want to get on playlists.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay, cool, all right, So the.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
First single from your box set's coming out in a
couple weeks, and then we're going to drop the whole
album digitally a month later, middle of July, you can
hear the whole thing, and then.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Then later this summer, can we tell them what we're
going to work on next? Well, yeah, unless what you're
doing next interferes with what we're supposed to be.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Secret.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Here, here's the deal.
Speaker 10 (08:46):
What I was planned on doing next just got pushed
to September, so I kind of have the summer free
to work on what I'm talking about?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Is it Aristocrats?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
The Aristocrats? The Aristocrats for me in the X rated movie?
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Is it?
Speaker 12 (09:04):
No?
Speaker 10 (09:06):
No, it's it's well. I mean, we we announced that
we're doing the the Lled, the Dour, the Grammy. You
remember what y'all saw the Grammy thing a tour. Did
y'all know that we're pushing it back a couple of
months to make it perfect?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
So then great, And if the Tonight Show still on strike,
we could actually right so we can make more albums.
Speaker 10 (09:27):
So basically, when I'm not working at the Tonight Show,
then I get more jobs completed, so I can stop
doing jobs. So it's been an interesting break. I feel
like we're boring. I feel like there's nothing in your math.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
And having cryptic talk. We don't know what y'all talking about.
Speaker 10 (09:43):
Okay, So if you remember the Bob James episode of
Quest Love Supreme, the last five minutes, we kind of
talked about, hey, let's get in the studio together and
make an album. If you don't know Bob James, Bob
James is you know legendary jazz. All the samples. If
you love Peter Piper by run DMC, those are his drums.
(10:05):
If you love Daytona five hundred by Tank Can all
that stuff, that's Bob James. Like so many samples. So
we're gonna go and knock out a record.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Because you know, okay, tell us some more secrets.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's it, you know. That's but I will say that tonight.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Y'all they know already.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
They don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Yes, y'all know about tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
No, no, no, no no. But here's the deal.
Speaker 10 (10:38):
There's a look for the older people that are like
I might turn in early and you know whatever, when
I when I tell you and look.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
We we know that time is a time? Is a
is a bottle?
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Limit time?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
When I when I tell you, if what I just
learned in the.
Speaker 10 (11:05):
Last seventy two hours, if it comes to fruition, this
will be the roots picnic to beat historic like this
is nothing. I had nothing to do with it. So
I'm just saying that I got a phone call and
I got a proposition about something, and.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It's happening.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
So you are in case, you know, in case you
want to sort of kind of like m I turn
in at seven o'clock or eight.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You don't want to look on your Instagram and realize
that you missed a once in a lifetime thing. And
so tonight's the thing to stay for it give.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Some stuff out anyway, you know, if I give some
stuff out, I don't even know. You know, it's it's
we should just we can have a real secret little

Speaker 10 (15:06):
Gentleman is able to do something that I've yet to do,
which is I mean, you guys just sell out. I

like three times that.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I know you're like, man embarrassed right now.
Speaker 10 (15:21):
No, but he is as far as like drummers are concerned,

Speaker 2 (15:32):
It's there. They're a trio and anyway, So how's it going?
Speaker 13 (15:37):
It's good man, all right.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
I know you came up here because you're a massive
Isley Brothers fan.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yes, I have to say that at six pm, it's
going to be amazing.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Can you tell us just like one thing about that
you did? You have you been able to hear the
set here?
Speaker 10 (15:56):
I'm putting it together. That's this is the only thing
I'm doing a picnic musically. What wait, the roots aren't performing?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
What the whole goal? Like remember on the podcast where
we were like, look, Amir you have too many jobs.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
So I was serious last year when I said the
whole goal is that, you know, I want this festival
to run itself without the roots having to perform. Now, granted,
last night we did our show at the Wells Fargo Center,
which it was an important bucket list moment for Tarika
and I because, like, you know, we always dreamed to
(16:34):
play the Spectrum or you know, like how many titles
has that building had?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Besides there was the Spectrum? Wait, why do you look
disappointed that?
Speaker 6 (16:42):
Because I was trying to think like first Junion, first Union, right.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It was so many things.
Speaker 10 (16:46):
But last night we did to a sold out crowd,
played the the Wells Fargo.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Man, say, the spectrum, that's what it is. I still
say this.
Speaker 10 (16:55):
Do you guys call it the spectrum or do you
call Wells Fargo that means y'all were born in the nineties.
Ye see, I'm born in the seventies. We're forever going
to call that the spectrum. So anyway, anyway, so as
a result, I mean, Tarka is still going to do
his mixtape mixtape thing, and James Boys and I are
(17:17):
going to do this sole Quarium thing, and we're backing
up the Isley Brothers.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I will have to. I want to make a quick
announcement that it was supposed to be the Isley Brothers.
Amroy Airs. Brother Airs has fallen ill.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
Yes, he caught COVID over in Greece, so keep him
in your thoughts and prayers. He's over in the hospital
in Greece right now recovering. He's doing well, but he
won't be able to make it because he has to
recover him from COVID.

Really what are we just down for? Cobh yo.
Speaker 16 (19:58):
We were on mat Miller I'll be there was that correct? Absolutely? Facts, Yeah,
it's our first time meeting. Yeah, yeah, man, that's what
I just found that out like a year or two ago.
Beans and corn bread and it was oh man, respect
by respect absolutely.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
Wait, y'all did a cover of beans and corporate bright
Louis Jordan, No, no, no, it was it was it
was the song I'll Be there by. It was by
Mac Miller.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It was okay, okay, okay, I missed that part. I
thot you meant.
Speaker 13 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
They did the tracks right, that's why I not Mexica.
Speaker 16 (20:31):
Nah, man, we did that joint. Yeah, that was like
twenty eleven, I think something a minute ago. But not
good to meet man a little rap after this.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Sure he flew up, uh once he found out that
we were backing up the Isley Brothers today.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I couldn't miss this. You know something else?
Speaker 10 (20:47):
All right, So I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you a
question and fine, you can answer this. So I curated
the the set, the music that we're doing it that okay,
for the for the Isley business, right, the legendary seven
decades in the game Osley Brothers, and you know I
happen to be hanging with some people yesterday that were
(21:09):
born in the late eighties early nineties, and so they
asked me like, hey, are you guys going to perform
the C word? And I said no, and right right,
and the shame that they put on me because we
(21:33):
were not going to perform the song written by the
artists that I guess we don't mention anymore, right, And
it wasn't even that like it just totally I totally
forget that the Isley Brothers have a whole new identity
to a generation facts in the nineties. But you know,
I'm trying to cover like the classic samples and all
(21:55):
that stuff, and so from one to ten like.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Is contagious also canceled or.
Speaker 14 (22:05):
No?
Speaker 16 (22:07):
Not for me, listen, I mean because when for me
it was when when when he when you don't start
off pooling, when we don't do it?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Look listen, not in the set list. My thing is
is not.
Speaker 16 (22:18):
I don't think it's up to the audience. I think
it's up to the artists. When Ron did versus, when
Ron did his verses, he did, though all them are
killing records, he did all of them.
Speaker 10 (22:27):
So if he good with it, then what the fuck
we got to say about it, like that's his voice,
those are his records.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
He's standing on it, then, Ship, But that was not
That wasn't me taking a stand.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
That was me being neglectable, like I've never right right,
I forgot about contagious and it was a hit.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Man. I know this, and I just heard that.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
You know that if we don't do it, it might
be all right. And I'm like kind of worried now because.
Speaker 16 (22:51):
Like, no, no, I think for him, for for Roan,
for being you know, the age that he is, and
to still have his gift to have his voice. I mean,
I think you celebrate his whole catalog whatever he wants
to perform, if that's what he want to do. We
don't know how many more times we're gonna have this
experience to be able to see him. We don't know
how many you know, how many more festions he got? Man,
(23:12):
Let let Ron.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Cook Man Brits play all that. Mister big ship Man,
come on.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
Yo, like really like to take you jail, like he
can't like what we You know, how many times you
gotta play an R Kelly song on Spotify for that
nigga to get some damn oodles and noodles out the commissary.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Like this man is not a danger to no one anymore.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
It's over. Let Ron do his jams. Fuck that ship.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Speaking of set list though, so it's a historic weekend
because this is also the return, not even a return

Speaker 7 (23:53):
On night.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
What night are you guys with? Tomorrow?
Speaker 10 (23:56):

the ratchet right together.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Just I love it. I love it. That's a perfect Sunday.
It's great. You know.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Some wait, not not to bring up things that won't happen,
but you know, I've shared this story with you guys before,
but now I'm glad, Okay, I'm kind of glad that
the weather is sort of in the condition it is now.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay, So back when before us are graciously agreed to
come and headline, back when we were in Diddy World.
The first three weeks.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Of planning, normally we start planning what we're going to
do around February, and for about three weeks we didn't
even start with the music. We started with the conversation
of He said, if I do the picnic. I want
to have the greatest intro row of all time. And
(25:02):
I'm like, well, okay, what does that consist of? And
he was like, yo, I want to enter with a
helicopter and then I want to jump out the helicopter
and parachute onto a target in the middle of the crowd.
And you know, I was like, take that, Take that.
(25:26):
And I told him, I was like, yo, like if
like what if it's cloudy and this.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I gave him a billion reasons and that he's one
of them cats, like if you say no to him,
that'll just make him fight harder too.
Speaker 10 (25:42):
So I had to like Jedi mind trick him and
be like, hey, that is a good idea. And then
something he was like, all right, never mind, I don't
want to do it. So but you know, I kept
saying like, if it's cloudy or whatever, then we won't
be able to do it because you can't have a
helicopter this low on people. Well you guys get injured.
You'd have to be up in the air and that's
(26:03):
too dangerous. He's like, it's not gonna be cloudy, and
thank god, I was right. It's clouds cloudy.
Speaker 11 (26:09):
Remember the time Diddy couldn't jump out the helicopter because
it was cloudy. That's like a real sentence that was
just broken in a room full of people.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
He didn't jump out of helicopter at fifty four years old. Well, yeah, man,
So yeah there's that. How many minutes we got?
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Like, oh, we got like fifteen fifteen old minutes? Oh
we we could do some questions and do something y'all want.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You're a great host. I love this. You're an awesome host.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
So no, I was just gonna say, why don't we
like have a little bit of fun, do some QLs
trivia a little bit or anybody got we got questions?
Because like this is really the first time that we're
dedicating this podcast thing to our listeners. So y'all tell us,
y'all got questions, y'all, won't we gonna have some fun? Casey,
I already know you got questions. I already know I
already know.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
But in the yeah, let let melodec holes punk ass
ask the first question.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
All Right, I'm the only person.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
A middle finger and security rough as it.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Out, you're punk out.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Cameras don't work, all right, this is my nemesis.
Speaker 10 (27:21):
He d Cole always snarking on my insteoo. You know
how legit black people that like any comment that he
puts on w wow. Why because there's there's a price
to pay for siding with Melody Cole.
Speaker 13 (27:40):
You need to be humbled.
Speaker 10 (27:42):
Wait let me, I'll explain that the genesis of our beef,
like it's really not beef. Melody Cole used to make
fun of a sweater that he used to always wear
twenty four to seven and where it's right and then
I lost that sweater?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But who was it?
Speaker 13 (27:58):
What?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
What's her name? What's her name? And transformers?
Speaker 13 (28:01):
Megan Fox?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Megan Fox?
Speaker 10 (28:03):
Right, she complimented that sweater and I was like, all
right now, I'm really gonna wear this ship.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
And he started hating because she liked it. You didn't
just wear it, you slept in it. Yeah you're lived
in it. But yeah, meanative Fox. That's all right, all right,
all right? So what's your question? Mal I really don't
have a question. Do someone have a real question for
West Love Supreme?
Speaker 13 (28:30):
Who has a real question? I really don't have a question.
I was joking.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It was.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
Hi Quest Love, Hello and High Team Supreme and Donald
from Crumbin everyone Hi everyone.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
I'm a Philadelphia native, West Philly, West.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Philly now saying what part are you allowed to say.
Speaker 13 (28:51):
Lancaster.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I'm not so out in when we like around forty six?
Oh this Lancaster. Yes, down here, ten trolley. Okay, I
got it good.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I am a starting podcaster myself, so my question will
be how did you start your podcast?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
How you get followers? And they forced me at comp No, wait, Liah,
how did we start?
Speaker 15 (29:18):
What?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
She don't even remember the genesis? Well, you just reminded
me that this is our seventh year.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah, when did we start?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
How do we started? We started? She's starting her own podcast, and.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
I waked and baked.
Speaker 13 (29:30):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
She hung up for me.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I think I came to you and said, hey, uh
yeah's your podcast? This started?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Okay, So Steve said, I'm a big star. You're a
big star. Let's let's get together and we'll be a
bigger star.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Steve had a collection.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
No, Steve had a collection of these fake radio shows
that he would host when he were like eleven and twelve. Yeah, yeah, right,
And then I used to I think everyone does that,
like everyone in our medium does the thing where they
do like, Hey, I'm a I'm a DJ, and you
do fake radio shows and we were just like, hey,
why don't.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
We do this one day? And then I was a
massive fan of Fonte's.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
Radio, the Guard Gartrell radio show that he did with
former boss Bill and the ship.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I did when I was eleven was better than that Fonte.
Speaker 10 (30:22):
And then Laiah, of course is a legendary h Philadelphia
radio personality, power and other areas. And then we yanked
Bill in because he was our well, Hamilton was red
hot back in twenty fourteen, and he was our first gout.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I was the first I called you. I called you
because Rudolph My Rudolph had to postpone a week and
we needed practice. So you the next step after my rude,
and that was a three hour episode.
Speaker 16 (30:56):
Absolutely to answer to answer that question, to answer I
was even gonna start a podcast. Definitely invest in like
cameras or like I mean not, you've got about it.
You can use your phone, but if you're making a
podcast now you pretty much are shooting a TV show basically,
like if you don't have the video element, you have
to have the video element to support the audio element.
So at that point it's like, why don't I just
(31:18):
make a video show? So yeah, have you know, that's
how you're gonna sell it. So just whatever your thing is, like,
you know, make sure you got your h visuals for it.
And we are very and we are very slow to
do that.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
We got a whole soft salt sauce soft launch on YouTube.
It's like for those who know.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
You know, an extremely soft launch soft y'all.
Speaker 10 (31:37):
Y'all told me we were on YouTube and I was like, dude,
I'm still in my pajamas.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
Yeah, with your red lights. Yes, it's okay, it's all
about It's okay, it's real dal Okay, last question, what's
your name?
Speaker 17 (31:49):
But it's Paul from the South Side of Chicago. I'm
a fan of everyone on stage.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Guy, my guy. Yes see, I started talking like common yes,
my guy, Hey, what up? Joe?
Speaker 17 (32:01):
Yes, yes, So what I wanted to know is, I
guess I'm a fan of everybody on stage. I don't
know about the two white guys, but I know you
know what, wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Wait, hang on a second.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
Is it possible we can get the microphones in the
front monitors so we can hear what they're saying.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I heard, I heard, I heard that's go go music.
They're okay, They're allowed as hell anyway.
Speaker 17 (32:26):
Okay, So what I want to know? This question is
posed for Fonte. Yeah, will we ever get a ninth
Wonder and Little Brother project?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Again?
Speaker 6 (32:37):
No asking them good questions.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I ain't cut. I believe that things could be mended.
He's saying, no now, but I'm willing that one day
a reunion will happen. I'm willing it. Anything gonna happen
right now.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
It's no, y'all better look at Fonte and believe it.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
No, no, no, no, no, all right, I can show
you better. I can tell you.
Speaker 16 (33:06):
But I was saying, look, the Little Brother documentary made
a little watches coming and we talk about everything.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Can I can I ask something about the documentary? Absolutely?
It is ninth in the documentary.
Speaker 16 (33:17):
No, god, damn man, let me and let me be clear,
let me let me be one hundred percent. We reached out,
we asked, you know, we were like, yo, be a
part of this, you know, come tell your side whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
He never responded, So that's what it is. He might
have had an old number. Oh no, I had the
right number.
Speaker 10 (33:34):
He's currently on my producer's threat right now. All right,
next question, but it was most up from Philly. Hi,
you're saying ten minutes.
Speaker 15 (33:44):
But I had the I had the privilege of going
to Club Fluid for many years, yes, where Questlove was
the DJ, and I wanted to find out, do you
do any DJ and local like local spots like that,
you know what?
Speaker 10 (33:57):
Okay, So just last week or two weeks ago, when
I guess the way that Janet Jackson scheduled her tour.
You know, she was sort of a victim of the
playoff circumstances, so she was actually trapped in Philadelphia for
like ten days while the Sixers were in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Not in the playoff, that sort of thing.
Speaker 10 (34:22):
So we threw her a surprise party at the Divine
Lorraine Motel and it was well, it wasn't even a
we couldn't announce it, announce it. And I guess the
way that Stacy's parties are like, they instantly sell out.
So I will say though that I had so much
fun that Stacey and I talked about they reunited.
Speaker 13 (34:45):
And right.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
High Quest Love. I'm Benjamin. I'm from Germantown, Germantown. Hello, heio,
Benjamin good Good. I have a question.
Speaker 12 (35:00):
I saw you a long time ago at the Middle
East and there was a battle between Scratch and you
were there that night and nice to see you every
Monday at Silk City Wood Britt.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Yeah that night.
Speaker 18 (35:13):
Okay, so people who people went for my question who
did you like working with more Scratch or Roseellee.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Well, here's the weird thing, Like you know, so the
story of that night.
Speaker 10 (35:31):
The Roots did a show at the Middle East in Philadelphia,
and I guess you know, Scratch was in another Philadelphia
group that we Schools of Thought, and you know, we
had Rozelle in the group, and I guess, like, you know,
it's possible that Scratch thought that he's the only bat
(35:52):
box of that level in existence. So when we came
with Rozelle, I guess he he friends were gassing them up,
like oh man, they saw Schools of Thought and put
a be boxer in. But the way the Roots are
is like if we see somebody dope, we just like,
you know, the way that we pulled build into this podcast,
we just hey, you play Tuba, join the Roots. Like
(36:15):
remember when the Roots were just a trio and now
we're like earth Wind and Fire with twelve members. It's
just we don't get rid of members. Well maybe a few,
but there's you know, people just joined the fray. So
during that whole performance, Scratch and that entire crew did
the meldcole and just had middle fingers up and it
(36:37):
was just so random, like why do you guys put
the middle fingers up?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I thought we were cool, and so.
Speaker 10 (36:41):
They battled, and you know, then the show ended and
then we got the last word. We're like, oh, you
want to battle, We're gonna steal your member.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
Get over here.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Then we we stole Scratch from that group and put
him in the group with Rozell.
Speaker 10 (36:57):
I don't know, I have fond memories of working with both,
you know, so shout out to Scratch and Ronzel.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
I don't have a favorite. I love them both. So
thank you.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Mc dows.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I love it. Thank you brother mc dowells. I love
I love that nice.
Speaker 13 (37:15):
God bless you. My name is Jay Love aka six '
nine not shore.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Why to call me? Why?
Speaker 13 (37:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I was like, do we want to pro further.
Speaker 13 (37:24):
To that as we'll talk anyway.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
No, we're not talking.
Speaker 13 (37:28):
I'll tell you anyway.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (37:30):
I'm from Pete Town, Virginia, home of Missy Elliott.
Speaker 14 (37:34):
Yes, oh man yeah, no, no, go ahead, I know
how you trust me. I've been listening since Maya. Rudolph okay,
so I already know that the interesting Twitter relationship so.
Speaker 10 (37:48):
So.
Speaker 14 (37:49):
One of the commonality I thought my voice is gone
because of the Wells Fargo Center yesterday.
Speaker 13 (37:54):
I was super excited and I lost my voice.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
So I apologize, thank you.
Speaker 14 (37:58):
One of the commonalities between and a lot of you
is my man James Yancy.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Yes, and.
Speaker 14 (38:05):
God, I'm getting this video because y'all don't understand how often,
like Monday morning, when those notifications hit that a new
Quest Love Supreme episode is on, I'm listening to it
at work every single time and listening to the classics.
I mean, I listened to him over and over. I
put my friends on right now. They listen to State Property,
but they'll be here, thank you. But I'm telling you,
(38:25):
I just would real quick. I just wanted to ask
because I read diyla time and it talked about the
beat battle that y'all had in the basement yes where
he did the Ashley's Roach clip sample and the shows
that joint. I play it all the time before I
even knew about it. But I understand, of course, with
little brother having a track together that I was supposed
to happen, and y'all left his name in there anyway,
(38:46):
which was beautiful to me. So and I know Steve
has been engineering with him, of course, with like the
like water for chocolate and things of that nature. So
I wanted to ask you, all, the ones that have
a relationship with Dyla, what was your best moment music
with him?
Speaker 16 (39:01):
I can go quick because mine is probably the quickest
story out of everybody. We never got a chance to
work on music together, but we did meet. It was
at Rock the Bells in two thousand and four, and
it was four or five something like that. But anyway,
we were working on minstrel show and by the time
we got to Rock the Bells, Hiding Place was already done.
(39:22):
When we reached out to him to we wanted him
to rhyme. Originally Hide in Place was going to be
him and L's a rhyming on it. We wanted both
of them, but at the time we didn't know how
sick he was, and we were recording in North Carolina,
but we couldn't figure it out. But anyway, we saw
him some months later at Rock the Bells and I
got a chance to play it for it, and I
(39:43):
played in the track and I was like, yo, man,
this is joint we wanted you on, but we got
l on it. We finished it, you know, I hope
you like it. And we just played it and like
he was not into it, and now it was over,
he was like, Yo, it's dope.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
It's dope. He didn't really say a whole lot. He
was like, yo, he dapped me up.
Speaker 16 (39:58):
And I was like, yo, man, just thank you for
the music, man, like you really are, like kind of
was like a north Star in a lot of ways,
you know. So I was just thankful I got to
give him those flowers and him and mad Lib Rock
they did a jay libset and uh and that Yeah,
that was it.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
So yeah, I'll rep you. Uh it was an electric Lady.
Speaker 5 (40:17):
It was probably water for Chocolate sessions and uh, Dyla
was using my personal MPC the two thousand, which I hear.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I broke it. No you're still using it now.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
Yeah, he was using that one, and y'all were huddled
around him, you common James, whoever was there, Pino and
everybody was just watching him make a beat on the NPC.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Ever was studying right like it was a bunch of
gods watching another god. Yes, you know, like do what
they do? That was like that. I don't remember what
what song it was or anything, but that was, you know,
at the studio.
Speaker 10 (40:51):
Here's the story. I don't think I've ever shared it before. Like,
I know that the the opinions of Commons Electric Sir
this album have changed in the last twenty years. Like
there's a lot of snark in the beginning, a lot
of he fell off, he got whatever, and then people
came around to it, and I know that one of
(41:13):
the most difficult songs to sort of digest was Jimmy
Was a rock Star And here's the thing. The next
two Time Traveling on like Water for Chocolate. That's literally
I think Time Traveling and Jimmy Was a rock Star
(41:35):
was one of the only times in which the four
original Soul Aquarians, James di'angelo, Dila.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Myself actually played like together at the same time.
Speaker 10 (41:50):
So for like for Time Traveling, Dila was on roads
doing the baseline first, and then I Can and then
James is on the Oregon. Then DeAngelo came in last
and did that little woodblocky thing that's on Commons Verse.
But the the jam session that resulted into Jimmy was
(42:12):
a rock star. Like I think the raw tape is
like that was damn there, like a thirty minute jam
session that I didn't expect to ever see the light
of a day on a record. But Common was just
at a place where if it didn't sound like a
head nodter thing.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Then he was going to put it on the record.
Speaker 10 (42:33):
So we were just fucking around with like new keyboards
and technology because when Dyla, when we first started the project,
Dyla's like, all right, everything that we used to do,
do the opposite, So new keyboards, new drum machines, new
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
I didn't change my drums.
Speaker 10 (42:49):
I refused to, but like and like pro tools instead
of tape and just a whole yeah, Like we just
did the exact opposite of like water for chocolate and
with him, like he was just messing around with different
frequencies and different new moves and all that stuff. So
we were just fucking around and then next thing I know,
(43:09):
Common found a good nine minute inside that thirty minute
psychedelic jam and next thing I know is a complete song.
So also what's good about that was when we were
doing the final mix, that's when Prince came to visit US.
So in addition, like Prince and Dilla worked, I like
(43:33):
the fact that Star sixty nine there on that track together.
You know, Dyla started the track and then Prince came
in out of his guitar parts later.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
So you know, wow, cool, cool, cool stories. Wow.
Speaker 6 (43:46):
Listen, y'all. I think that's a wrap before we go.
Oh things to look forward to. I was thinking we
could share with everybody coming up West Left suprem episodes
that you might want to pay attention to. I'm a
just shout out President Bill Clinton. That's right, that happened
in real life and in person.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Yes, Bill Clinton and all William Jeffersonton.
Speaker 6 (44:05):
We talked about music. That's all we did. He closed
it out black music, mom. So I just want to
say that and make sure you go check out Fine tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Yeah, we're performing up three.
Speaker 10 (44:17):
They're three Little brother and in a half hour I'll
be on stage with the world famous Isley.
Speaker 2 (44:24):

Bill comes out of Winner again. Don't forget to buy
