If you spent your July 4th doing literally anything other than watching the Welcome America concert on 6ABC, you probably don’t know what Questlove is upset about. During the concert’s local broadcast, whoever was at the “bleep” button had issues bleeping the right things and the wrong things and everything and the station repeatedly cut to a 6ABC Title Card when they were overwhelmed with bleeps. Then, PhillyMag’s Victor Fiorillo wrote what Questlove is taking issue with:

“Concert broadcaster 6 ABC didn’t just bleep out the profanities as Roots frontman Black Thought dropped the curses left and right at the start of the show — they cut out the entire transmission, video and all, switching to a 6 ABC logo until it was safe to return.

But that was nothing compared to Nicki Minaj, whose buxom getup no doubt inspired some wishes for a wardrobe malfunction. Minaj managed to fit “bitch,” “shit,” and “motherfucker” into her set many times over.”

Questlove tweeted out audio of the Roots’ opening performance and there, to my ears at least, is not a profane word in sight. In the video of Minaj’s performance from VH1 over here, she did a pretty good job of censoring herself, and when one word slipped, VH1 caught it without issue. Minaj’s songs often feature a verbal acrobatics of profanity, but during many of VH1’s bleeps you can see Minaj’s mouth isn’t moving, because she’s cutting the words out herself. It was 6ABC’s panic, Mayor Nutter’s response that he’ll review it (even though he said he “wasn’t particularly bothered by the language of the musicians”), and Fiorillo’s outrage that earned a response from Quest (above) and Black Thought, not any “bad language”:

The first part of Fiorillo’s sentence is correct — “Concert broadcaster 6 ABC didn’t just bleep out the profanities” — but, as Black Thought said, “just because there’s a bleep doesn’t mean there was profanity.”

Yeah, Marlon Wayans and Minaj dropped the n-word — which was fully censored on VH1 — but if you went to the Parkway that night never having heard that word before, it’s likely you heard it said before anyone hit the stage. The Roots, as Questlove pointed out, have been doing this show for years and are on TV every night. If they haven’t figured out how to not curse by now they’d be out of both jobs. Though, speaking to that, Questlove is unquestionably a busy person, and he was tweeting about all of this stuff at 3:30 this morning. So, if you’re reading this Quest, I have something to say: “Dude, get some sleep. You’ve earned it. You’re probably super sleepy all the time. Just lay your head down and throw on some Netflix. Don’t worry about these people. Yeah, there you go. That’s it.”

If you want to spend two hours doing nothing at work, you can watch the whole thing here, including the performance where Ed Sheeran comes nowhere close to saying the F-word but was endlessly bleeped on 6ABC anyway.
