Yo, you ain't gonna believe this jawn Questlove did.
### Only in Philly, Jawn
Listen, I'm not even gonna hold you, when I heard this, I almost spit out my Wawa coffee. Questlove, our own Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson from The Roots, admitted he used to call the police on his *own* parties here in Philly. Can you even imagine that? The man who brings us all that raw, authentic sound, throwing down so hard in a rowhome somewhere in South Philly or maybe even West Philly, that he had to tell the PPD to shut it down. That's some real Philly energy right there – we go hard, sometimes too hard, even for ourselves.
He spilled the tea on a YouTube episode, saying things would just get "too rowdy." And you know what? I get it. We've all been to a basement party on like, 52nd Street or maybe a backyard BBQ over by Girard where it just got a little outta hand. But to be the one to call the cops on your own jawn? That takes a certain type of commitment to peace and quiet, or maybe just knowing when the party has officially peaked.
* **What This Means for Philadelphia:** * It shows even our biggest stars got that deep-down Philly sensibility, even if it means self-policing their own good times. * It reminds you of the legendary house parties that used to pop off all over the city, from Germantown to Point Breeze. * It confirms that Philly parties are just built different – always have been, always will be.
It just goes to show, you can take the man out of Philly, but you can't take the Philly out of the man, or the party, or even the call to the cops to end the party. That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here.
Kee and the squad are always talkin' about this kinda wild stuff every mornin' – catch the live jawn over at mornings.live.
