[REPLAY] Son of doo-wop singer Lee Andrews, and the greatest hip-hop drummer of all time: this is the story of the Roots co-founder, Ahmir Khalib Thompson, aka Questlove. (This conversation was recorded in 2020).
Before he was 10 years old, Ahmir was on wardrobe duty, knew how to run the tech for his parent's performances, and just two years later, filled in for his dad's drummer who'd broken an arm. When he transferred into a creative and performing arts school, a high stakes moment trying to impress a girl led him to spin a tale of being in a band with his classmate Tariq Trotter (a lie that became the truth eventually). After busking on bucket drums and then starting to find a trail into music careers, Tariq and Ahmir missed the train, but that wasn’t their train. Their train was bound for glory. Left in no man’s land, Questlove and Black Thought must find their roots. At the point in Ahmir's fight journey--when the jabs starts working, and you find the right hand--he.begins to define the pace. Questlove is about to find both hands working–and his footwork’s not bad either. There are new match ups, and new media, to conquer.

[REPLAY} Beckham bends, Jordan does hangtime. Those verbs define men, but this man’s words define a sport. It's time to meet the rumble-readier: Let's get ready to Michael Buffer! In this episode: After a brief time as a car salesman who possessed an admirable glitch, then jobs as a model asked to put his great speaking voice to use, Buffer finds himself on the road to a career he couldn't have ever imagined. Becoming a household name is almost impossible, unless you're in your own house. When everyone has the same name no one’s looking. The only thing that matters is who you are. The final chapter of this episode: Championship Round.

A hidden hand who has shaped Black culture on television for half a century (think: Def Comedy Jam, Martin, and multiple Dave Chappelle stand up specials and other tv series) he is the man who defined the term “just keep going." Meet prolific film and television producer and director Stan Lathan.
You can fool some of the people some of the time. You can’t fool all the people all the time. The problem is, you can fool yourself any time. But eventually, the clock runs out on everybody.
"I didn't even realize I was in the fight. And I was losing it, because it affected everything else in my life." "I didn't even realize I was in the fight. And I was losing it, because it affected everything else in my life." How Stan Lathan's perseverance in a personal battle is now felt by all whose work he continues to elevate with his eye, skill, and directorial finesse.
It's the scars of battle that shape the generals. And we follow in their footsteps because they've walked through fire.
