Before the Ramones and the Sex Pistols, Lenny Kaye was clerking at Village Oldies on Bleecker Street. In 1972, he compiled Nuggets—and its liner notes helped shape the emerging idea of Punk Rock.

Questlove and Lenny nerd out as fellow record obsessives, swapping stories about organizing vinyl, seeing Jimi Hendrix twice, meeting Patti Smith (whom he played bass for ever since), and recording “Piss Factory” in the final 15 minutes of a session at Electric Lady. Lenny also talks about his new solo debut, Goin' Local, out now on Yep Roc. Made for artistic closure, not to chase a trend, the personal, unhurried record came from a simple conviction: “because I’m my favorite artist.” He reflects on creativity, his enduring love of music, and the crates he’s digging through now.

Open Mike Eagle and Cousin Jake unpack E-40’s conversation on The Questlove Show. They get into how E-40 has kept writing new chapters—and inventing new styles—for nearly 40 years; what independence really means; and why “lyricist” can come with an unfair bias. Plus, E-40 credited one MC with helping shape his unmistakable delivery in an ah-ha moment of the convo.

They also give flowers to Hieroglyphics’ Casual, a Bay Area great E-40 says deserves more credit. Which Bay Area rappers should we be talking about?
