John Legend, The Roots - Doing It Again: Amex UNSTAGED

[kkleproso]

The roots rlz.

[blackchang1981]

Black Thought! One of the greatest, most underrated emcees ever! Hands down.

[truelegendfan]

Pause the video at 0:22. It is a GREAT poster picture! :)

[JanellaR229]

now..that's fyah!

[JustTP94]

Real Music.

[martelle13]

Every time I hear "Again" I wish the band would come in like they do on The Roots' version. When I hear The Roots' version I wish the verse was there. THIS is perfect.

[KaptainKody20]

Black Thought and John Legend? It can't get much better.

[skanyoyo]

The legendary Roots Crew. ?uestl♥ve

[TheSyncopator]

This is jamming! Straight up!

[luvlee83]

This is hot. Hot. HOT! I love the magic!

[sonenimusic]

Where's the LOVE button? Beautiful. Lyrical depth... pure soul.

[juggi301]

@AfrikaCAMbaataa lol

[justinjoewills]

The verses are ON FIRE. Some of the best rap lyircs I've ever heard.

[1972lita]

i see there's 1 dislike. must be an undergrad at the school for the deaf. only a hearing impairment would prevent one from recognizing how dope this shit is. Hot collaboration.

[drummerjwalk]

@1972lita I'm a hard of hearing undergrad at a Deaf school myself....and this combo of John Legend and The Roots has absolutely blown my mind!!! So the one person who disliked this must just be an idiot who can't stand good music. ;]

[Lurkingherbs]

wow wow.. this is chief material.

[tmr2456]

THIS IS JUST GOOD GODAMN MUSIC PEOPLE!!! IT SHOULD HAVE 10 MILLION VIEWS

[imagiraffe09]

who slipped up and hit the dislike button? it had to of been an accident...

[tmr2456]

@imagiraffe09 cmon u know u it was lol

[bruegs10]

The one thing I dis like about this song is it's not long enough.

[kevster3000]

Yes I'm Listening again!

[101GuitarKidd]

This is one of the All Time greatest collabs of musicians so far

[KOartisan]

Fuckin Dope Ass Remix!!!

[ProbTron]

John is ok. But loose the rapper. Sorry tbut makes it cheap.

[KOartisan]

@ProbTron WTF?!?! You obviously don't know who these 2 Legendary Artists are...GTFO here with your Ignorant ass comments Son!

[ledunc]

@ProbTron Don't talk negatively about what you obviously don't understand. Legend is a guest on his song, not the other way around.

[blakmagik4]

You're way off base. This is a Roots song off the Roots Album. And Black Thought's verse is articulate, intricate, and just plain insane. Free your mind. All forms of music can successfully collaborate.

Don't be the underachiever underestimating.

[ProbTron]

@ProbTron

I stay by what I said earlier. This is a perfect great song untill the rap starts. Too bad.

[Dunsgroveau]

@ProbTron That's who the Roots are and have always been, embrace the genius lyrics that he spits!

[ROB7002]

how do u dislike this

[girlpowerhx]

@ROB7002 maybe they accidentally slipped and pressed the dislike button lol :)

[shortsmartboy]

black thought...awesome

JL with black thought...redefinition of awesome

[Mugmw]

And I'am watching it again...

Yes I'am watching it again.

[DownSinceDawn]

black thought used this verse on the BET cypher a couple years ago. still a great ass song

[uncledougie65]

[Black Thought] Uh, remix, rising up out of the flames like a Phoenix Straining to carry the weight of my brain like a genius Knowing I'm sowing seeds, let's see whose thumb is the greenest If I said I mean it, I did it because I need it Eat, sleep it or bleed it, write it down and then read it Asphalt to the cement, your trash talk, delete it I blast off then lay 'em out like a Tempur-Pedic It's Black Thought, for certain I'ma win eventually This unsung, underrated underapreciated...

[killjaden01]

And of course. There is always that one asshole to dislike this.

[ProbTron]

nice song but kill the rapper (sorry)

[aabitbol11]

@ProbTron oh, you're full retard?

[ROB7002]

@ProbTron wtf r u tlkin about

[slashcat77]

Who else thinks the guitarist looks like Miles Davis?

[smygarragnar]

@slashcat77 that is so true!

[TheCausation]

Fuckin' huge.

[JSWelch32]

They sound amazing live, and the song sounds way better fast instead of the slower pace of the album version

[garotanzi89]

has this been released on dvd?

[MrLegion777]

I love the build-up, and the explosion of his lyrics and of course, Quest Love destroying the drums. Great performance!! And YES!!! Black Thought IS the best MC/Poet in the Hip Hop game.

[PullpinVa]

@MrLegion777 Indeed



[dazzlingsusie]

EPIC PERFORMANCE!!!!!

[rstaiano]

I love it when hip hop artists can actually play the hell out of their instruments! And these motherfuckers go hard too! There aren't many who can do that, except maybe the Roots and Le VICE. Shit Le VICE is San Francisco's answer to The Roots!

[RnBrealist]

Great performance. But those lines by Black Thought are recycled.

[MyLorenzoB]

This is GREATNESS at its best

[korypullam]

How the hell can anyone not like this?

[garotanzi89]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO BUY THIS FULL CONCERT!?!??! WILL GIVE MY LEFT NUT FOR IT!

[timebomb555]

REAL MUSIC NOT BULL LIKE WE GET THESE DAYS

[reyel40]

Brotha Thought is bad! There are no hitches in his rhymes! on of the best of these times! "Under Rated Under Appreciated"!

[DocloveJS]

Straight Fire

[vscol]

Black is one of the best poets of all times. Content, delivery and jusy raw. Ive always been a fan and will always be. Hes in the relm of KRS 1, Mos Def, Talib Kwali, Common and a few other under appreciated brothers spitting hot fire and truth. Anyone can tell a dumb bitch to shake her ass in the club for this twenty, but can your lyrics make change and make people think. thats the difference between hip hop and rap, where do you stand?

[kkleproso]

@vscol I used to listen trash music, but now im searchin for good artists like the roots, can u give me some names?

[kkleproso]

@vscol I read in some place, that hip hop is a culture and rap is part of the hip hop culture, hip hop englobe clothes, music, style and all cultural aspects, but i have not sure, im not american, so forgive my eventual grammar errors.

[xjalexander]

Black Thought -Top 5 Dead or Alive!!!

[rockonjosh]

Me and thought have the same boots, i'm feeling pretty dope just now.

[BAMalexBAM]

this is sick! Black Though, probably the best living MC and definitely one of the best of all time and John Legend, a very talented artist.. good music for sure

[Martin88890]

I saw them in London last night, they were amazing.

[thabest1995]

Damn I wish I could see em live

[superbthesonofman]

[1922pennylover]

[rodri1251]

[365Boogiedown]

[amirah1011]

Loved this concert. Just....amazing.

Now, whoever uploaded the video should fix the description because they're not describing this song....they're describing "You Got Me." :-)

[OriginalPaulC]

Absolutely. Hands up if you love when the greatest come together to make nothing short of pure magic.

[CAPITALBEE]

Black Thought is in my TOP FIVE...Roots Crew does it...oh yeah John Legend did his thing as well

[ThisIsAnEasyName]

That was telling it.
