They, like, play their own instruments.

I really enjoyed them in the Chapelle movie, which prompted me to check out their studio stuff, which I hated compared to the feel of their live stuff.
So not crap for being a very talented live band, its just too bad their studio stuff isn't just live recordings w/ Chappelle MCing and being funny.
Roots w/ pre meltdown Chapelle MCing = godly
Roots sanitized in the studio = a bit boring

I like them, but it's ?uestlove that truly kicks my ass.
That guy is EVERYWHERE.
And for good reason.
He's a solid drummer.

?uestlove = not crap
rahzel (who isn't a contributor anymore) = not crap
black thought = boring MC
the rest = i guess they're not crap
illadelph halflife is imho their best album

Hey, I saw this guy at O'Hare a few months ago! He had a pick in his hair and everything! I headed his way, then realized I had no reason to head in the general direction of this man. He is everywhere! He's huge!

If anyone has any idea how I can, as a drummer, become as ubiquitous as ?uestlove, I am all ears.
I want to play on everyone's records and be well regarded. I play well, I don't smell bad...
I know a few decent jokes.
PM me. I'll play on your record. Play something to a click and sendspace it to me... I work in a studio- I'll put some drums on it for you...
I just want to bang on de drums all day....

I saw this band live back in 1993 or 4 at a really small venue in Hull. For some reason Hull was one of two places in the UK they were playing.
They respectfully tore the roof off!
Excellent live band. Gnarly and real, as well as top musicians.
Stuff on record I've heard has never matched it.
Not Crap.
