I remember Questlove low key sending shots at Hov when he wore that Che shirt during the Blueprint Unplugged recordings on some "oh ok...this is how you're working this angle?" type of shyt

Having gleaned from convos/interviews from both sides, they're relatively close so I don't think anything he wrote in the article he wouldn't say to Hov's face.

damn, that public sonning from quest. i know jay like wtf have i done for these nikkaz to come for me so publicly?
Questlove is overthinking this shyt and fails to realize that Hip Hop from its inception always has maintained as in hia words a hierarchy of HAVES and HAVE NOTS...
The Harlem urban disco scene ran by the likes of hip hop pipneers such as DJ Hollywod..Eddie Cheba and Dj Pete Jones and Lovebug starski were all about maintaining the status quo symbolized by bottles of Moet Champagne....Gator Shoes ....flashy silk suits and slacks and fly rentals
While the less privileged and younger B boys from the bronx such as Kool Herc..Flash...the Rock Steady Crew were stuck having to entertain themselves with the parks sipping on 40s and smoking dirt weed while spinning on the floor
so wtf is questlove talking about?!?!
He act as.if HIP HOP originated as a SOCIAL MOVEMENT for the underclass which is false
he refrences Lil Boosie counting money out on the pavement as such an obscene gesture...
when i recall BUSY BEE counting out a bundle of cash at a hotel room as if he.just hit a lick in the 1982 movieWILD STYLE ....
i also recall LL COOL J saying on ROCK THE BELLS....
"Some girls like me
and some girls don't
Cause i make a lot of MONEY
and thier boyfriends dont"!
So why is questllove acting like this is a new concept'?!
HipHop unfortunatly has ALWAYS been a.capitilist tool
and at its base level living in a.capitilist society has always been about pbtaining things from a.classist perspectivw
thats why his analogy of the ADIDAS SHOE being embraced by Run Dmc.as a sign of comnection between the artists and fans is bullshyt.
because even the Adidas shoe at that time WAS A STATUS SYMBOL to many POOR KIDS such as.myself growing up during the Golden Era of the 80s
Only cats that i knew that had the shell toe adidas at that time were the older cats who had jobs or the d boy crack dealers
old school group DIVINE SOUNDS said it best;
"50 Dollar sneakers and you got NO JOB
TELL ME HOW U DO IT WHEN TIMES ARE HARD?"
and thats feom thier hit track "WHAT PEOPLE DO FOR.MONEY!"
So questlove needs to wake up outta that psuedo hip hop purist.mindstate and.realize
HIP HOP has always been about money and status along with elements of social awareness and personal responsibility
its about balance..unfortinatly the scales have been tipped to the money side cause HIP HOP is now CORPORATE
And Questlove is part od that corporate problem too
because them NBC checks are capable of having him do some strange questionable things
