Mo' Meta Blues: The World According to Questlove - Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson

Mo Meta Blues: The World According to Questlove is as much a treatise on postmodern aesthetics as it is a memoir of Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson (virtuoso DJ + drummer of legendary hip-hop band, The Roots). With the assistance of Ben Greenleaf, Questlove spins a yarn of entertaining anecdotes and favorite album lists. Ahmir's musings reveal formative moments of his creative passion, as well as those that sparked the Roots' fake-it-til-you-make-it grind to transform into an internationally revered act. Some of the most provocative passages of Mo Meta Blues occur within its footnotes scribed by the Roots' co-manager, Rich Nichols, who provides a clairvoyant counterpoint for this atypical music memoir.
