Choosing one essential track from each year, Questlove unpacks each song’s significance, revealing the pivotal role that American music plays around issues of race, gender, politics, and identity. Whether he is exploring how black identity reshaped itself during the blaxploitation era, analyzing the assembly-line nature of disco and its hostility to black genius, or remembering his own youth as a pop fan and what it taught him about America, Questlove finds the hidden connections in the American tapestry. Questlove’s Music Is History releases October 2021. You can hit the link below to pre-order now or pick up one of Questlove’s previous books (I heartily recommend both Mo’ Meta Blues, and the New York Times Bestseller Creative Quest). Pre-order
