Questlove Makes TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential List

Questlove Makes TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential List

Published Tue, May 24, 2022 at 11:00 AM EDT

TIME magazine released its annual Top 100 Most Influential List on Monday (May 23) and documentary filmmaker and musician Questlove made the cut. The list also includes Pete Davidson, Channing Tatum and Jazmine Sullivan.

“Look. Its gonna look like this for a awhile. Celebrating myself ain’t really my fav thing in the world w/o at least one self-deprecating joke to justify the ‘living in non deservednessville," Quest posted to Instagram. "So stopping that toxic behavior last year was hard enough. But you only live once & Im the cat who thought DJn the #Time100 was one of the coolest honors ever- so yeah im not salty I’m not DJn this year, but I guess this honor will do.”

It's been a fruitful year for Questlove. Earlier this year, he won an Oscar award for his critically acclaimed documentary Summer Of Soul (.....Or, When The Revolution Could not Be Televised). The doc chronicles 1969's forgotten Harlem Cultural Festival which included performances from Nina Simone, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Mahalia Jackson and more. Questlove is also working with Mick Jagger on a James Brown documentary for A&E as well directing a documentary about Funk titan Sly Stone. Black Thought and Questlove are also developing a series of animated shorts for Disney titled Rise Up, Sing Out.
