Main quotes:
It coincided with the first Domino of a new revolution for a set of rules that we still use today to make music. Sly was at the beginning of the multiple recording, like the idea of being a “bedroom music”, and he did everything yourself-Stei Wanir Prince and Todd Rondgrin and all of these geniuses do all the work themselves. He did not hear it before his session. – Ahmed “Questlove” Thompson

In my opinion, I think Black Genus is just the ability to see another day, which looks like Hyperble, but I promise you that we are all half an hour away from making the wrong life decision that will immediately put us in this position. Even in making this movie, I must put myself in this category. Life then Oscar [win, for Summer of Soul] It was a 12,000 percent transformation, fortunately you were in the context of the mind, with treatment, etc., to preserve it. So for me, with this movie and other subsequent films I do that have similar topics, I try to plant seeds in artists to learn to get out of their heads and get more harmonious to what they feel inside. – Thompson
