continuing from my previous post, Questlove is quoted as saying "Kasparov gives us a reminder that the best kind of history is not only the history of events, but the human struggle behind those events..."

Questlove brings up an interesting topic when he says history often leaves behind the emotions humans feel during events. He uses Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparovs two matches against an AI as example. Koskarov and the AI each won a match, with AI taking the 2nd game. Without digging deeper into how the loss turned Kasparov bitter, it would've been portrayed as a ho-hum moment. Emotions are just as impactful

on page 85, Questlove perfectly describes one of the many reasons i love hip hop. After finding a song through a hip hop sample he states, "I wouldnt have learned any of those things, or understood them as part of the fabric of musical history, UNLESS I WAS TAKEN THERE BY HIP HOP, and by one specific sample" Tracking samples has led me to so many gems i wouldve never discovered without the hiphop version
