Posdnuos of De La Soul

About this episode

Posdnuos of De La Soul discusses the group's legacy and shares studio stories with Questlove.

Posdnuos of De La Soul sits down with Questlove for a long-awaited conversation fans have been asking for. Ahmir digs into the group's catalog with fan-driven questions, while Plug 1 shares stories from the studio, reveals which classic tracks were originally intended for other artists, and reflects on the legacy of his brother, Dave aka Trugoy the Dove. The discussion celebrates one of Hip-Hop's most influential groups—and their lasting impact on The Roots. With last year's Cabin In The Sky album still in constant rotation, this is an episode fans won't want to miss. Catch De La Soul at May's Roots Picnic in Philadelphia.
