Speaker 2: is also a really engaging figure. So you know, I
Speaker 2: told him it's time for you to get from behind
Speaker 2: the boards and be in front of the boards.
Speaker 4: And you started your jazz label.
Speaker 2: And you know we we.
Speaker 4: Previewed this week the new project.

Speaker 2: This will be my second jazz album. Well, we have
Speaker 2: the filled Up experiment back in class two thousand and one.
Speaker 2: And now if you follow me on Instagram, you know
Speaker 2: I'm the king of like cryptic posts. So during the
Speaker 2: pandemic we did it.
Speaker 4: It was not even a jazz record. It's a jazz
Speaker 4: box set.
Speaker 6: It's like fusion something.
Speaker 2: How many hours is this the record? It's two and
Speaker 2: a half hours, four LPs, And yeah, he's it's a
Speaker 2: jazz So it's like limited edition.
Speaker 4: Or everything's limited edition.
Speaker 2: When you think about it, folks, who else is on
Speaker 2: your label? Who else?
Speaker 6: Is just all the greats in jazz right now, like
Speaker 6: David Murray and Eric Harland and.
Speaker 4: This summer, can we make the announcement of what the
Speaker 4: next project is.
Speaker 6: Well, we're dropping your album right the first singles coming
Speaker 6: out in like two weeks.
Speaker 2: Wait. Jazz records have singles.
Speaker 6: Jazz records have singles because we want to get on playlists.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, all right, So the first.
Speaker 6: Single from your box set's coming out in a couple weeks,
Speaker 6: and then we're going to drop the whole album digitally
Speaker 6: a month later, middle of July, you can hear the
Speaker 6: whole thing.
Speaker 2: And then then later this summer, can we tell them
Speaker 2: what we're going to work on next? Well, yeah, unless
Speaker 2: what you're doing next interferes with what we're supposed to be.
Speaker 9: Secret.
Speaker 2: Here, here's the deal. What I was planned on doing
Speaker 2: next just got pushed to September, so I kind of
Speaker 2: have the summer free to work on what I'm talking about?
Speaker 9: Is it Aristocrats?
Speaker 4: The Aristocrats? The aristocrats for me in the X rated movie?
Speaker 10: Is it? No?
Speaker 2: No, it's it's well. I mean, we we announced that
Speaker 2: we're doing the the Lled, the Dour, the Grammy. You
Speaker 2: remember what y'all saw the Grammy thing A. Did y'all
Speaker 2: know that we're pushing it back a couple of months
Speaker 2: to make it perfect? Yeah?
Speaker 6: So then great, And if the Tonight Show still on strike,
Speaker 6: we could actually.
Speaker 4: Right so we can make more albums.
Speaker 2: So basically, when I'm not working at the Tonight Show,
Speaker 2: then I get more jobs completed, so I can stop
Speaker 2: doing jobs.
Speaker 4: So it's been an interesting break. I feel like we're boring.
Speaker 4: I feel like there's nothing in your.
Speaker 9: Math having cryptic talk. We don't know what y'all talking about.
Speaker 2: Okay, So if you remember the Bob James episode of
Speaker 2: Quest Love Supreme, the last five minutes, we kind of talked.
Speaker 4: About, hey, let's get in the studio together and make
Speaker 4: an album.
Speaker 2: If you don't know Bobs, Bob James is you know
Speaker 2: legendary jazz. All the samples. If you love Peter Piper
Speaker 2: by run DMC, those are his drums. If you love
Speaker 2: Daytona five hundred by Tank Can all that stuff, that's
Speaker 2: Bob James like so many samples. So we're gonna go
Speaker 2: and knock out a record.
Speaker 9: Because you know, okay, tell us some more secrets.
Speaker 4: That's it, you know. That's but I will say that tonight.
Speaker 9: Y'all they know already.

Speaker 2: do with it. So I'm just saying that I got

Speaker 2: Amir, you have too many jobs So I was serious
Speaker 2: last year when I said the whole goal is that,
Speaker 2: you know, I want this festival to run itself without
Speaker 2: the roots having to perform. Now, granted, last night we
Speaker 2: did our show at the Wells Fargo Center, which it
Speaker 2: was an important bucket list moment for Tarika and I because, like,
Speaker 2: you know, we always dreamed to play the Spectrum or
Speaker 2: you know, like how many titles has that building had?
Speaker 2: Besides there was the Spectrum? Wait, why do you look
Speaker 2: disappointed that?
Speaker 9: Because I was trying to think like first Junion, first Union, right.
Speaker 2: It was so many things. But last night we did
Speaker 2: to a sold out crowd, played the the Wells Fargo.
Speaker 4: Man, say, the spectrum, that's what it is.
Speaker 2: I still say this. Do you guys call it the
Speaker 2: spectrum or do you call Wells Fargo that means y'all
Speaker 2: were born in the nineties. Ye see, I'm born in
Speaker 2: the seventies. We're forever going to call that the spectrum.
Speaker 2: So anyway, anyway, so as a result, I mean, Tarka
Speaker 2: is still going to do his mix mixtape thing, and
Speaker 2: James Boys and I are going to do this sole
Speaker 2: Quarium thing, and we're backing up the Isley brothers. I

Speaker 2: miss this. You know something else? All right, So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna ask you a question, and fine, you
Speaker 2: can answer this. So I curated the the set, the
Speaker 2: music that we're doing it that okay, for the for
Speaker 2: the Isley business, right, the legendary seven decades in the
Speaker 2: game Osley Brothers.
Speaker 4: And you know, I happen to be hanging with some
Speaker 4: people yesterday that.
Speaker 2: Were born in the late eighties early nineties, and so
Speaker 2: they asked me like, hey, are you guys going to
Speaker 2: perform the C word?
Speaker 4: And I said no, and right right, and.
Speaker 2: The shame that they put on me because we were
Speaker 2: not going to perform the song written by the artists
Speaker 2: that I guess we don't mention anymore, right, And it
Speaker 2: wasn't even that, like it just totally I totally forget
Speaker 2: that the Isley Brothers have a whole new identity to
Speaker 2: a generation facts in the nineties. But you know, I'm
Speaker 2: trying to cover like the classic samples and all that stuff,
Speaker 2: and so from one to ten like.
Speaker 4: Is contagious also canceled or.
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 14: Not for me, listen, I mean because when for me
Speaker 14: it was when when when he when you don't start
Speaker 14: off pooling, when we don't do it? Look listen, not
Speaker 14: in the set list. My thing is is not I
Speaker 14: don't think it's up to the audience. I think it's
Speaker 14: up to the artists. When Ron did versus, When Ron
Speaker 14: did his verses, he did though all them are killing records,
Speaker 14: he did all of them. So if he good with it,
Speaker 14: then what the fuck we got to say about it?
Speaker 14: Like that's his voice, those are his records. He's standing
Speaker 14: on it then, Ship, But that was not that wasn't
Speaker 14: me taking a stand.
Speaker 2: That was me being neglectable, like I've never right right,
Speaker 2: I forgot about contagious and it was a hit man.
Speaker 15: I know this, and.
Speaker 4: I just heard that. You know that if we don't
Speaker 4: do it, it might be all right.
Speaker 2: And I'm like kind of worried now because.
Speaker 14: Like, no, no, I think for him, for for Roan,
Speaker 14: for being you know, the age that he is, and
Speaker 14: to still have his gift to have his voice. I mean,
Speaker 14: I think you celebrate his whole catalog whatever he wants
Speaker 14: to perform, if that's what he want to do. We
Speaker 14: don't know how many more times we're gonna have this
Speaker 14: experience to be able to see him. We don't know
Speaker 14: how many you know, how many more festions he got?
Speaker 14: Man let let Ron.

Speaker 4: Philly now saying what part are you allowed to say.

Speaker 4: I'm not so out in when we like around forty six,
Speaker 4: Oh this Lancaster. Yes, down here ten trolley.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got it good.
Speaker 15: I am a starting podcaster myself, so my question will
Speaker 15: be how did you start your podcast?
Speaker 2: How you get followers? And they forced me at comp No, wait, Liah,
Speaker 2: how did we start what? She don't even remember the genesis? Well,
Speaker 2: you just reminded me that this is our seventh year.
Speaker 9: Yeah, when did we start? How do we started?
Speaker 2: We started?
Speaker 4: She's starting her own podcast, and.
Speaker 9: I waked and baked.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. She hung up for me.
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I think I came to you and said, hey, uh
Speaker 6: yeah's your podcast?
Speaker 4: This started?
Speaker 6: Okay, So Steve said, I'm a big star. You're a
Speaker 6: big star. Let's let's get together and we'll be a
Speaker 6: bigger star.
Speaker 4: Steve had a collection.
Speaker 2: No, Steve had a collection of these fake radio shows
Speaker 2: that he would host when he were like eleven and twelve. Yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 2: And then I used to I think everyone does that,
Speaker 2: like everyone in our medium does the thing where they
Speaker 2: do like hey, I'm a I'm a DJ, and you
Speaker 2: do fake radio shows, and we were just like, hey,
Speaker 2: why don't we do this one day?
Speaker 4: And then I was a massive fan of Fonte's.
Speaker 2: Radio, the Guard Gartrell radio show that he did with
Speaker 2: former boss Bill and the ship.
Speaker 4: I did when I was eleven was better than that Fonte.
Speaker 2: And then Laiah, of course is a legendary h Philadelphia
Speaker 2: radio personality, power and other areas. And then we yanked
Speaker 2: Bill in because he was our well Hamilton was red
Speaker 2: hot back in twenty fourteen, and he was our first gout.
Speaker 2: I was the first I called you. I called you
Speaker 2: because Rudolph.
Speaker 4: My Rudolph had to postpone a week and we needed practice.
Speaker 2: So you the next step after my rude And that
Speaker 2: was a three hour episode absolutely.
Speaker 14: To answer to answer that question, to answer I was
Speaker 14: even gonna start a podcast. Definitely invest in like cameras
Speaker 14: or like I mean not, you've got about it. You
Speaker 14: can use your phone, But if you're making a podcast
Speaker 14: now you pretty much are shooting a TV show basically,
Speaker 14: like if you don't have the video element, you have
Speaker 14: to have the video element to support the audio element.
Speaker 14: So at that point it's like, why don't I just
Speaker 14: make a video show? So yeah, have you know, that's
Speaker 14: how you're gonna sell it. So just whatever your thing is, like,
Speaker 14: you know, make sure you got your h visuals for it.
Speaker 14: And we are very and we are very slow to
Speaker 14: do that.
Speaker 9: We got a whole soft salt sauce soft launch on YouTube.
Speaker 4: It's like for those who know, you know, an extremely
Speaker 4: soft launch.
Speaker 2: Soft y'all. Y'all told me we were on YouTube, and
Speaker 2: I was like, dude, I'm still in my pajamas.
Speaker 9: Yeah, with your red lights.
Speaker 10: Yes, it's okay, it's all about It's okay, it's real
Speaker 10: dal Okay, last question.

Speaker 16: a fan of everyone on stage.
Speaker 2: Guy, my guy. Yes see I started talking like common yes,
Speaker 2: my guy, Hey, what up? Joe?
Speaker 16: Yes, yes, So what I wanted to know is I
Speaker 16: gots I'm a fan of everybody on stage. I don't
Speaker 16: know about the two white guys, but I know you
Speaker 16: know what, wait, wait.
Speaker 2: Wait, hang on a second. Is it possible we can
Speaker 2: get the microphones in the front monitors so we can
Speaker 2: hear what they're saying. I heard, I heard, I heard
Speaker 2: that's Go Go music. They're okay, They're allowed as hell. Anyway. Okay,
Speaker 2: So what I want to know? This question is posed
Speaker 2: for Fonte. Yeah, will we ever get a ninth Wonder
Speaker 2: and Little Brother project? Again?
Speaker 9: No asking them good questions.
Speaker 2: I ain't cut. I believe that things could be mended.

Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 9: It's no, y'all better look at Fonte and believe it.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no it all right.

Speaker 2: Can I can I ask something about the documentary? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: It is ninth in the documentary.
Speaker 14: No, god, damn man, let me and let me be clear,
Speaker 14: let me let me be one d per. We reached out,
Speaker 14: we asked, you know, we were like, yo, be a
Speaker 14: part of this, you know, come tell your side whatever.
Speaker 14: He never responded, So that's what it is.
Speaker 2: He might have had an old number.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I had the right number.
Speaker 2: He's currently on my producer's threat right now. All right,
Speaker 2: next question, But it was boost up from Philly. Hi,
Speaker 2: you're saying ten minutes.
Speaker 17: But I had the I had the privilege of going
Speaker 17: to Club Fluid for many years, yes, where Questlove was
Speaker 17: the DJ, and I wanted to find out, do you
Speaker 17: do any DJ and local like local spots like that,
Speaker 17: you know what?
Speaker 2: Okay, So just last week or two weeks ago, when
Speaker 2: I guess the way that Janet Jackson scheduled her tour,
Speaker 2: you know, she was sort of a victim of the
Speaker 2: playoff circumstances, so she was actually trapped in Philadelphia for
Speaker 2: like ten days while the Sixers were in the playoffs,
Speaker 2: not in the playoff, that sort of thing. So we
Speaker 2: threw her a surprise party at the Divine Lorraine Motel
Speaker 2: and it was well, it wasn't even a We couldn't
Speaker 2: announce it, announce it. And I guess the way that
Speaker 2: Stacy's parties are like, they instantly sell out. So I
Speaker 2: will say though that I had so much fun that
Speaker 2: Stacy and I talked about the reunited and.
Speaker 18: Right high Quest Love. I'm Benjamin. I'm from Germantown, Germantown. Hello, Heio,
Speaker 18: Benjamin good Good.
Speaker 4: I have a question.
Speaker 19: I saw you a long time ago at the Middle
Speaker 19: East and there was a battle between Scratch and you
Speaker 19: were there that night and nice to see you every
Speaker 19: Monday at Silk City Wood Britt.
Speaker 2: Yeah that night.
Speaker 20: Okay, so people who people went for my question who
Speaker 20: did you like working with more Scratch or Roseellee.
Speaker 4: Well, here's the weird thing, Like, you know, so the
Speaker 4: story of that night.
Speaker 2: The Roots did a show at the Middle East in Philadelphia,
Speaker 2: and I guess, you know, Scratch was in another Philadelphia
Speaker 2: group that we schools of Thought, and you know, we
Speaker 2: had Rozelle in the group, and I guess, like, you know,
Speaker 2: it's possible that Scratch thought that he's the only bat
Speaker 2: box of that level in existence. So when we came
Speaker 2: with Rozelle, I guess he he friends were gassing them up, like,
Speaker 2: oh man, they saw Schools of Thought and put a
Speaker 2: be boxer in. But the way the Roots are is
Speaker 2: like if we see somebody dope, we just like, you know,
Speaker 2: the way that we pulled build into this podcast, we
Speaker 2: just hey, you play Tuba, join the Roots. Like remember
Speaker 2: when the Roots were just a trio and now we're
Speaker 2: like earth Wind and Fire with twelve members. It's just
Speaker 2: we don't get rid of members. Well maybe a few,
Speaker 2: but there's you know, people just joined the fray. So
Speaker 2: during that whole performance, Scratch and that entire crew did
Speaker 2: the meldcole and just had middle fingers up and it
Speaker 2: was just so random, like why do you guys put
Speaker 2: the middle fingers up? I thought we were cool. And
Speaker 2: so they battled and you know, then the show ended
Speaker 2: and then we got the last word. We're like, oh,
Speaker 2: you want to battle, We're gonna steal your member.
Speaker 8: Get over here.
Speaker 4: Then we we stole Scratch from that group and put
Speaker 4: him in the group with Rozell.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I have fond memories of working with both,
Speaker 2: you know, so shout out to Scratch and Ronzel. I
Speaker 2: don't have a favorite. I love them both. So thank you.
Speaker 4: Mc dows.
Speaker 2: I love it. Thank you, brother mc dowells. I love
Speaker 2: I love that nice. God bless you. My name is
Speaker 2: Jay Love aka six y nine, not shure. Why they
Speaker 2: call me? Why? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I was like, do we want to pro further to
Speaker 4: that as we'll talk anyway.
Speaker 2: No, we're not talking. I'll tell you anyway. Thank you.
Speaker 13: I'm from Pete Town, Virginia, home of Missy Elliott.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh man, yeah, no, no, go ahead.
Speaker 13: I know how you trust me I've been listening since
Speaker 13: Maya Rudolph okay, so I already know that the interesting
Speaker 13: Twitter relationship so so one of the commonality I thought
Speaker 13: my voice is gone because of the Wells Fargo Center yesterday.
Speaker 2: I was super excited and I lost my voice. So
Speaker 2: I apologize, thank you.
Speaker 13: One of the commonalities between and a lot of you
Speaker 13: is my man James Yancy.
Speaker 2: Yes, and.
Speaker 13: God, I'm getting this video because y'all don't understand how often,
Speaker 13: like Monday morning, when those notifications hit that a new
Speaker 13: Quest Love Supreme episode is on, I'm listening to it
Speaker 13: at work every single time, and listen to the classics.
Speaker 13: I mean, I listened to him over and over. I
Speaker 13: put my friends on right now. They listen to State Property,
Speaker 13: but they'll be here, thank you. But I'm telling you,
Speaker 13: I just would real quick. I just wanted to ask
Speaker 13: because I read diyla time and it talked about the
Speaker 13: beat battle that y'all had in the basement yes where
Speaker 13: he did the Ashley's Roach clip sample and the shows
Speaker 13: that joint. I play it all the time before I
Speaker 13: even knew about it. But I understand, of course, with
Speaker 13: little brother having a track together that I was supposed
Speaker 13: to happen, and y'all left his name in there anyway,
Speaker 13: which was beautiful to me. So and I know Steve
Speaker 13: has been engineering with him, of course, with like the
Speaker 13: like water for chocolate and things of that nature. So
Speaker 13: I wanted to ask you, all the ones that have
Speaker 13: a relationship with Dyla, what was your best moment music
Speaker 13: with him?
Speaker 14: I can go quick because mine is probably the quickest
Speaker 14: story out of everybody. We never got a chance to
Speaker 14: work on music together, but we did meet. It was
Speaker 14: at Rock the Bells in two thousand and four, and
Speaker 14: it was four or five something like that. But anyway,
Speaker 14: we were working on minstrel show and by the time
Speaker 14: we got to Rock the Bells, Hiding Place was already done.
Speaker 14: When we reached out to him to we wanted him
Speaker 14: to rhyme. Originally Hide in Place was going to be
Speaker 14: him and L's a rhyming on it. We wanted both
Speaker 14: of them, but at the time we didn't know how
Speaker 14: sick he was, and we were recording in North Carolina,
Speaker 14: but we couldn't figure it out. But anyway, we saw
Speaker 14: him some months later at Rock the Bells and I
Speaker 14: got a chance to play it for it, and I
Speaker 14: played in the track and I was like, yo, man,
Speaker 14: this is joint we wanted you on, but we got
Speaker 14: l on it.
Speaker 2: We finished it, you know, I hope you like it.
Speaker 4: And we just played it and like he was not
Speaker 4: into it, and now it was over.
Speaker 2: He was like, Yo, it's's dope. It's dope.
Speaker 4: He didn't really say a whole lot.
Speaker 19: He was like yo.
Speaker 2: He dapped me up.
Speaker 14: And I was like, yo, man, just thank you for
Speaker 14: the music. Man, like you really are, like kind of
Speaker 14: was like a north Star in a lot of ways,
Speaker 14: you know. So I was just thankful I got to
Speaker 14: give him those flowers and him and mad Lib Rock
Speaker 14: they did a jay libset and uh and that, Yeah,
Speaker 14: that was it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll rep you. Uh it was an electric Lady.
Speaker 4: It was probably water for chocolate sessions.
Speaker 6: And uh, Dyla was using my personal MPC the two thousand,
Speaker 6: which I hear I broke it.
Speaker 4: No you're still using it now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was using that one, and y'all were huddled
Speaker 6: around him, you common James whoever was there, Pino.
Speaker 4: And everybody was just watching him make a beat on
Speaker 4: the NPC.
Speaker 2: Ever was studying right like it was a.
Speaker 4: Bunch of gods watching another God, yes, you know, like
Speaker 4: do what they do?
Speaker 2: That was like that. I don't remember what what song
Speaker 2: it was or anything, but that was, you know, at
Speaker 2: the studio. Here's the story. I don't think I've ever
Speaker 2: shared it before. Like I know that the the opinions
Speaker 2: of Commons Electric Sir this album have changed in the
Speaker 2: last twenty years. Like there's a lot of snark in
Speaker 2: the beginning, a lot of he fell off, he got whatever,
Speaker 2: and then people came around to it. And I know
Speaker 2: that one of the most difficult songs to sort of
Speaker 2: digest was Jimmy was a rock Star And here's the thing.
Speaker 2: The next two Time Traveling on like Waterford Chocolate. That's
Speaker 2: literally I think Time Traveling and Jimmy was a rock
Speaker 2: Star was one of the only times in which the
Speaker 2: four original Soul Aquarians, James di'angelo, Dila myself actually played
Speaker 2: like together at the same time. So for like for
Speaker 2: Time Traveling, Dila was on Roads doing the baseline first,
Speaker 2: and then I Can and then James is on the Oregon.
Speaker 2: Then DeAngelo came in last and did that little woodblocky
Speaker 2: thing that's on Commons Verse. But the the jam session
Speaker 2: that resulted into Jimmy was a rock star. Like I
Speaker 2: think the raw tape is like that was damn there,
Speaker 2: like a thirty minute jam session that I didn't expect
Speaker 2: to ever see the light of a day on a record.
Speaker 2: But Common was just at a place where if it
Speaker 2: didn't sound like a head nodter thing.
Speaker 4: Then he was going to put it on the record.
Speaker 2: So we were just fucking around with like new keyboards
Speaker 2: and technology because when Dyla, when we first started the project,
Speaker 2: Dyla's like, all right, everything that we used to do,
Speaker 2: do the opposite.
Speaker 4: So new keyboards, new drum machines, new I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't change my drums. I refused to, but like
Speaker 2: and like pro tools instead of tape and just a
Speaker 2: whole yeah, Like we just did the exact opposite of
Speaker 2: like water for chocolate and with him, like he was
Speaker 2: just messing around with different frequencies and different new moves
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. So we were just fucking around
Speaker 2: and then next thing I know, Common found a good
Speaker 2: nine minute inside that thirty minute psychedelic jam and next
Speaker 2: thing I know is a complete song. So also what's
Speaker 2: good about that was when we were doing the final mix,
Speaker 2: that's when Prince came to visit us. So in addition,
Speaker 2: like Prince and Dilla worked. I like the fact that
Speaker 2: Star sixty nine there on that track together. You know,
Speaker 2: Dyla started the track and then Prince came in out
Speaker 2: of his guitar parts later.
Speaker 4: So you know, wow, cool, cool, cool stories.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 10: Listen, y'all. I think that's a wrap before we go.
Speaker 10: Oh things to look forward to. I was thinking we
Speaker 10: could share with everybody coming up West Left suprem episodes
Speaker 10: that you might want to pay attention to. I'm a
Speaker 10: just shout out President Bill Clinton. That's right, that happened
Speaker 10: in real life and in person.
Speaker 4: Yes, Bill Clinton and all William Jefferson.
Speaker 9: We talked about music. That's all we did.
Speaker 10: He closed it out black music, mom. So I just
Speaker 10: want to say that and make sure you go check
