QuestLove says he, Amy Winehouse wanted to start a super group with her, Raphael Saadiq and Mos Def

I can't stand Quest and hate even more the shit that comes out of his mouth. Old boy is like that gossipy old lady that lives at the end of the street, you know, Action News. But he said this-got this from Touch 106 website:

The Roots’ Questlove recently spoke on late Amy Winehouse and how the Grammy-winning singer was down to create a super group consisting of herself, singer Raphael Saadiq and rapper Mos Def.

Reflecting on their past conversations, Quest admitted he missed their informal music lessons.

“She’s such a jazz snob. I couldn’t stand it, but I was obsessed with it because once we exchanged information, she would always be on her computer sending me MP3s (like), “Listen to this.” … We spent a lot of time on Skype talking about crazy ideas and she schooled me about Sarah Vaughan. I schooled her about J Dilla. And she was like, “All right, we’re going to start a super group. You, me, Mos (Def) and Raphael Saadiq.” I was like, “OK.” And she assigned homework: “All right, study this record.” … I really miss not having her here to school me on jazz; I thought I was a music snob, and I thought I had my doctorate in jazz, but no. There’s so much more I could have learned. She’s a teacher.” (CBS News)

He's gettin a lot of mileage out of that story. lol Been tellin' it since she died...

Honestly, songs like "Like Smoke" with Nas give a preview of what could've been had this happened. I'm glad people are now speaking of her in a positive light, at least...

That is all he does, is put people's business in the street! He and Mrs Jenkins from 227 must be genetically related somehow. Ain't nothing worse than a gossipy man.
