Reviews

“You have to bear in mind that [Questlove] is one of the smartest motherf*****s on the planet. His musical knowledge, for all practical purposes, is limitless.”

– Robert Christgau

“Questlove is an artistic giant and spiritual genius whose roots go back to Curtis Mayfield and so many others. This book is a gem to read and a joy to feel! Don’t miss it!”

– Dr. Cornel West

“A busy thicket of musical geekery . . . likable . . . funny . . . MO’ META BLUES has an open-mike, improv-night spirit . . . The end pages on my copy are crammed with song titles; they resemble the back of a popular girl’s senior yearbook.”

– Dwight Garner, New York Times

“Smart, funny, insightful . . . [The] joy of this book is getting to live inside Questlove’s jam-packed, restless brain for a while . . . Four stars.”

– Rolling Stone
