Questlove Instagram – Meeting @fishbonesoldier on the first day of recording #IlladelphHalflife at @dallasaustins studio #darp in #ATL back in 95 @drmaddvibe
So far on @stonyislandpods
Ep 1: my life in music at age 5 & meeting Tariq in high school & lying to some girls to impress them about “my rap group” & also hiding all this from my dad who thinks I’m gonna go to @juilliardschool to do classical music
Ep 2 ORGANIX 1: how a purty gal mistook me for a bucket drummer in a @officialspikelee Levi’s commercial & Tariq and I deciding if we do just that on south street “there might be more girls that like us!” —-not quite….we got a career tho
ep 3 ORGANIX 2: we turned a demo into a 12 inch into an ep and now a full fledged lp—-and now we are on a hunt for a deal. We spend all of 93 looking for one and in the 11th hour w seconds on the clock….our lives change
Ep4: DO YOU WANT MORE: the jig is up and I make some life changes that’s not too pleasing to my dad’s ears. But I got my own dream to live, not his. I also learn how to improve our sound. And the seeds of the family come together
ep5 DYWM PT2: a terrible tragedy occurs & almost sends us tail spinning to being a moment away from losing the deal we worked so hard to get. Knowing our live show is our saving grace we ran away to live in Europe…..broke.
Ep6 DYWM pt 3: living in a foreign land trying to make a spark outta wet rocks—-with a broken down tourbus we “little train that could” our way to anyone willing to listen. It seems hopeless and then @sosobrat inadvertently saves our lives
Ep 7: Illadelph halflife 1 ——feeling defeated and disappointed the world didn’t embrace us as fast as we woulda like, we decide (and by we I mean mostly them) to meet our audiences ears in the middle. Will we blow up? Will we implode? 👀👀👀
