You have to bear in mind that Questlove] is one of the smartest motherf*****s on the planet.
It\'s a record that keeps going around and around.
It\'s a rare gift that gives as well as takes.
It\'s the side wind of a one-of-a-kind mind.
It\'s a book that questions what a book like Mo\' Meta Blues really is.
It\'s a dialogue about the nature of memory and the idea of a post-modern black man saddled with some post-modern blues.
Mo\' Meta Blues also has some (many) random (or not) musings about the state of hip hop, the state of music criticism, the state of statements, as well as a plethora of run-ins with celebrities, idols, and fellow artists, from Stevie Wonder to KISS to D\'Angelo to Jay-Z to Dave Chappelle to...you ever seen Prince roller-skate? ? But Mo\' Meta Blues isn\'t just a memoir.
He is one of our most ubiquitous cultural tastemakers, and in this, his first book, he reveals his own formative experiences--from growing up in 1970s West Philly as the son of a 1950s doo-wop singer, to finding his own way through the music World and ultimately co-founding and rising up with the Roots, a.k.a., the last hip hop band on Earth.
