MO' META BLUESThe World According to QuestloveMo' Meta Blues is a punchdrunk memoir in which Everyone's Favorite Questlove tells his own story while tackling some of the lates, the greats, the fakes, the philosophers, the heavyweights, and the true originals of the music world. He digs deep into the album cuts of his life and unearths some pivotal moments in black art, hip hop, and pop culture.Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson is many things: virtuoso drummer, producer, arranger, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon bandleader, DJ, composer, and tireless Tweeter. He is one of our most ubiquitous cultural tastemakers, and in this, his first book, he reveals his own formative experiencesfrom growing up in 1970s West Philly as the son of a 1950s doowop singer, to finding his own way through the music world and ultimately cofounding and rising up with the Roots, a.k.a., the last hip hop band on Earth. 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 runins with celebrities, idols, and fellow artists, from Stevie Wonder to KISS to D'Angelo to JayZ to Dave Chappelle to...you ever seen Prince rollerskate?!?But Mo' Meta Blues isn't just a memoir. It's a dialogue about the nature of memory and the idea of a postmodern black man saddled with some postmodern blues. It's a book that questions what a book like Mo' Meta Bluesreally is. It's the side wind of a oneofakind mind.It's a rare gift that gives as well as takes.It's a record that keeps going around and around.
