Questlove


The best beach reading this Summer by far for The Leopard has been the new memoir by  Ahmir “?uestlove”  Thompson, drummer of the band The Roots, Mo’Meta Blues. Quest makes a game attempt to rethink the genre of the rock bio, resulting in a lively, fun read.

A music enthusiast of the highest order, the afroed' one has an engaging love of music of all kinds, sometimes bordering on obsession.  At the same time, there’s jubilance to his love of all things pop that makes this book so endearing.
