Just got the news that everyone's favorite local hip-hop drummer got detained by the DEA in Buffalo.
?uestlove blogs it up on his MySpace blog, THE ?uestosphere!!!!!!!!!!!
we are going to ask you once, please tell the truth: are you carrying any kind of drugs on your person?
so a grammy huh?
can you sing on of the songs you sing?"
(picks up the many magazines i have and picks XXL and hip hop weekly) "where are you in this magazine? huh? you said you were in a rap group. huh? how can a rapper not be in a rap magazine? is your rap different than regular rap? (pulls the rolling stone and spin out) are you in here then? im confused. you are in a rap group that play for 7000 students last night. you been out for 15 years. you say you have 3 grammies. you travel coach with all this money on your person. and you can't produce your face in none of these books you have?"
"remove your pants please"
this was singlehandedly the most embarrassing moment of my career. i've gone through worse with the cops in my career (summer of 1995 in italy the fbi version of italy busted in on a tip they got from someone that reported suspicious activity on the block...which in truth means that we were using our day off to wash clothes. and our crime was that...well...we were black?. that same year in austria the cops harassed hub after he came to the defense of our pre kamal keyboard player nikki yeoh. i dont think they took too kindly to the site of her in "our" company and they did their best to make their displeasure known. and of course the infamous roach found in the ashtray of our band landcruiser which led those cats in the 48 hour hell ordeal for everyone but me and hub.
best believe today i got mine.
