Questlove is having a laugh.

Questlove shared an edited version of Drake's diss track, "Push Ups," that presents the song as if it came from Motown. While he was loving the comedic version of the song, the legendary Roots drummer made sure not to take sides in the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

"The only dog I got in this game is the mofo who enabled that pregnant pause on 'make some drums n^*^%”————like they way he leaned into 'druuuuuuuums…….' man, even my self esteem went down. This one song made me miss every uncle I ever had in my life……like that voice you hear (70s babies) through clinched teeth like 'If you don’t GIIIIIT!!!……..' like you know you already gonna get that benny hill smack in the back of your head walking on your way to the pre whuppin b4 he tell you pops what you and Big Mark & Weeski did to Miss Janie’s back window throwin that pink rubberball like a baseball."
