Questlove digs into the roots of hip-hop and its impact on culture in new book

Six-time Grammy Award-winning drummer and producer Questlove is digging deep into the roots of hip-hop and uncovering how the genre has impacted culture. He explains it all in his new book "Hip-Hop is History."

"Hip-hop's sort of early years is the result of really a generation wanting to be heard," Questlove said on "CBS Mornings" on Monday. "Before hip-hop, people my age were basically supposed to be seen and not heard; don't speak unless you're spoken to; you don't have valid opinions or feelings… this gives you a voice. It matters what a teenager thinks or what a young person thinks."

Questlove, who is the joint frontman for The Roots, said his connection to hip-hop runs deep as he sees the parallel of the genre's rise to his own life.
