During a conversation about hosting versus attending parties, Questlove admitted he would rather host, but often found himself frustrated with party guests.<\/p>\n
Questlove described these parties as happening “back in 97 back when Jill Scott and everybody was coming over,” referencing the era when The Roots were working on their album ‘Things Fall Apart.’<\/p>\n
“The city of Philadelphia also knows me for being famous for… calling the police on my own parties,” said Thompson. “Everybody was coming over it would get too rowdy and\u2026literally, I would call the cops on my own parties.”<\/p>\n
“I’m a people-person until people start like putting their cigarettes and stuff out on, you know, my couch or whatever… So then it’s like, you gotta get out,” joked The Roots co-frontman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The episode\u2019s guests also shared personal stories. Jesse Williams revealed he broke the school suspension record and was selling things he “definitely shouldn’t have been.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
