After having Pete Rock kick off the “Black Fist Fridays” Throwback at Noon series, Mister Cee tapped Questlove to spin his favorite tunes this afternoon. He mixed it up with an incredible selection of classics from J. Dilla, Mos Def, Tribe, and all the oldies. Quest dedicated his set to Dilla, who he says was his mentor.

It was also hilarious that Questlove said one of the main reasons he was able to remain great friends with Jay-Z for over decade was because Hov is also a secret nerd at heart. The Roots drummer admitted their bond comes from a nerd-like place.
