A veteran of the industry and defying Hip Hop convention, ?uestlove spoke further about his assertion that OFWGKTA see their mission through. "I'm always telling Tyler, every time I see him, 'Yo dude,"...it's sort of like what Chris Rock jokes, a father's whole mission in life is to keep his daughter off the [stripper] pole. [Laughs] I'm tryin' to tell him, 'Yo dude, just don't drop the ball.' I don't want no Wu-Tang [Clan]/Rage Against The Machine 1997 tour shenanigans going on, 'Fuck this shit, I quit.'"
Furthermore, ?uestlove publicly compared the Los Angeles outfit to Wu-Tang musically, who successfully established over nine careers based on an anti-industry sound and energy in the early 1990s. "I'm always on they ass; 'Finish the mission," continued ?uest. "It's gonna be tedious, it's gonna be long, but you're already halfway there.' [Tyler, The Creator] runs his label and he has over 15 acts. They, essentially, are the new Wu-Tang. A step further - they're Wu-Tang, plus they are the new Black Flag and to me, Bad Brains. Just the energy of their show is that."
