While U Were Asleep, @QuestLove Made Philip Michael Thomas Dope (And Twittered It) (And YouTubed It)

About five hours ago -- we presume post-Fallon taping -- Questo tweeted that he was locked down in the studio "trying a dilla move in which he takes a horrible album & tries to make a miracle." 

The album? From 1985, Living The Book Of My Life by Philip Michael Thomas, aka Tubbs.

Time spent from conception to execution: we're guessing about two and a half hours, not including the time he spent Twittering updates on his progress . . . or the time he spent editing/uploading the video of the recording process to YouTube. 

All we can say is that when we saw that Tweet, we didn't expect to have full documentation -- not just video but a zshare link to a finished track -- before our heads hit the pillow. 

The internets amaze us again.
