I just finished reading ?uestlove’s new book Mo’ Meta Blues that came out today and wow… it is literally the blueprint and foundation on which i was standing and will continue to stand.  It is everything I mold my ife after, everything I want my life to be and everything my life has already become. Everything that I feel and enjoy and hope for and hate is in this book. I’ve never been big on reading (still haven’t finished the book that cam out about Prince by Touré entitled I Would Die 4 U) but this book is more like a conversation than anything.  Never boring. It is even past the point of conversation and is the equivalent of a YouTube-esque-sit-down-interview with ?uestlove on his personal accounts and his relationship with music and those connected to music.  The formatting and style in which the book’s information is formatted is revolutionary to say the least (I didn’t know you could write a book and literally have a conversation with two other people and the book reader as well as sum your life up year by year by albums significant to your musical outlook).  I recommend anyone to read this book not on its merits of musical context or uber hilarious interactions with famous stars but to read it as it contextualizes a man and his love affair with music and journey through that love.

Kanye school himself in his home studio, 1997.

“Lock yourself in a room doing 5 beats a day for 3 summers.

That’s a Different World, like Cree Summer’s.

I deserve to do these numbers.

The kid that made that

Deserves that Maybach

So many records in my basement

I’m just waiting on my spaceship…”

Kanye is obviously the best.
