Questlove

Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken.

But what if the real work isn't physical at all?

To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name.

In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey, what's up, y'all?

This is Questlove.

Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with A$AP Rocky ahead of his album release, Don't Be Dumb.

He reflects on his journey from his Harlem roots to global icon status, discovering the hip-hop origin of his name.

The ledge was on the TV.

Rakim had the bucket hat Kangol joint on.

My pops was like, that's Rakim.

That's who you named after.

I just was like, damn.

Damn, that got swag.

Rocky offers a window into not only a boundary-breaking artist, but as a man committed to fusing creative ideas, community, and remaining unapologetically himself.

Have you ever gotten roasted for any of your outfits?

For sure.
