They were joined by Black Thought, who showed up about 10 minutes into the interview. Throughout the interview, Nardwuar showcased a bunch of obscure Philadelphia records to Questlove, who was rarely stumped (to his credit.) One record that caught Questlove off guard was “The Unbeatable Dream,” the rap single from NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon.
