Before the reveal, Questlove explained the process behind Songs' choice of anthems, as well as the creation of his Mixtape Potluck Cookbook collaboration with Martha Stewart. Quest went on to reveal that, in addition to being one of the greatest rappers ever, Black Thought was one of the best chefs ever. "I feel like this whole food space I'm in is more like impostor syndrome," he said. Thought went as far as to say he may enjoy cooking more than rapping. "It's a different medium, it's more therapeutic."
