Questlove’s Response To The NY Times Review Of Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 Experience:

"its constructive criticism


i will say the album is OVERLY ambitious. like a LOT of ideas crammed into one.

spoiler alert. 20/20 Vol 2 comes out in nov. (10 songs now…..10 songs later= 20 vision)

i admire the balls it took to make this record. cause he coulda easily urshurd his work in and made diplo his teddy riley to 20/20′s dangerous instead of sticking with timb’s Quincy.

feel me?

i like throwback Timb. (he played me songs out of order and off both records so i don’t know what made the final cut) so i was shocked he wasn’t 4 on the flooring it like the timb of 2005 was doing. like these joints were straight up missy/magoo timb and justin said he wanted timb to “get back in his real zone” even if it meant alienating the tweens born after 86 who never ever heard of the sly slick and wicked

i mean suit and tie is the MOST UNLIKELY james brown production reference

Sly, Slick & Wicked Sho' Nuff - YouTube

but of course unless you got a master degree in soul-ology this won’t mean sh-t to you.

and i told him my assistant zarah (born in 88) was frowning like “i don’t like this song”

and is he cool with the fact that only 35 year old people who love their soul in 95 bpm zone will “get” this song.

and he was like “why do we put all of our power in the hands of 18 year olds….i wanted to make a joint that 40 year olds would love too”

and by the time the video came out all the 86 after sect were aboard again.

(i agree the only thing i don’t like about suit and tie is jay’s beat switch up…..its cute….but its a pander move—if you gonna go 40…..go 40/40 with it”

anywho….i love the songs, but was worried on how he will cut the prime rib to feed to toothless babies.

ballsy move however.

i applaud ballsy moves
