.questlove will be hiding some 'Easter eggs' for hip-hop fans throughout the Oscars.

As musical director, the five-time Grammy winner will oversee the ceremony’s major musical elements, from the opening music to the show’s presenter and winner bumpers.

“With the show, we wanted a DJ experience, and we also wanted a DJ who could create music,” Collins says of the decision to hire Questlove for the role. “It started out with ‘We just need you to be the music director [and] deejay the Oscars.’ Once he said yes, then we were like, ‘Oh, well we need an opening title sequence! Oh, we need score for this! Oh, well we need this!’ [We’re adding components] every day, but he's still able to do it. ...

Given some of the challenges the pandemic has had on live productions such as the Academy Awards, there will be a few changes to the show this year. There is no pit or live orchestra accompanying Questlove, there will reportedly be multiple filming locations, and, most notably, there will be some restructuring of the telecast in the interest of time.

Despite the minor limitations surrounding this year’s festivities, Questlove is not letting anything squander the excitement of his latest role. The Philly-bred Roots crew playing at the Oscars is huge not only for the group, but for hip-hop in general. While some may see hip-hop and the Academy Awards as an unlikely pairing, the genre has been strongly represented at Hollywood’s biggest night throughout the 21st century.
