[jkellybrew]

No one buys your stupid product because of ads on Youtube you fuckin idiots.

[nghi50]

@jkellybrew the primary function of the ad is not to sell the product per se, its to create product and brand awareness. Next time you consider buying a phone, or whatever product was just shown, you'll think hey I saw a really cood ad for a phone with features I liked... I think it was an Android phone from Verizon.

[LAOG100]

If you have never heard of them. Then I'm afraid you haven't been living life yet

[dedserious93]

Happy New Year ...Roots closed out with this song !!!

[tontanto1]

This video is telling us to stand for what we beleive in and be confident about it. This will bring good to a cause larger than us like reuniting a son with his father or bring us persoma...........

[laseeous]

Real Hip-Hop brings me hear - it's said that if you never played or heard of Fight Night, the game, you wouldn't know who The Legendary Roots are ... Over a decade of true Hip-Hop! As long as the fans of true music spread the word through social media it will never die. Thank you roots your latest album,...it helped me get out of the darkness that I was in. One Love!

[TheDeni993]

[itsabossthang1]

[22hulahula]

[Nachoboyjake]

[harley4111]

[kkleproso]

My trackpad brought me here.

[ThreeTurnsAgo]

See now, it doesn't matter if it's fight night or the album. I'm a boxer and after having played the game and found this song - I'm fucking obsessed with the roots and have a heavy workout-playlist to boot.

Never did a game have a better sound-track, you have to give the game credit or else I would've never found this gem.

[fuckwedo]

@ThreeTurnsAgo i*d punch you out, kid

[Nas3ification]

is that John Legend on the hook ?

[obadiahm]

The Fire” chronicles a post-apocalyptic death march set in 1945 during the final stages of World War II in Europe. After a cataclysmic event renders the war futile, a paramilitary splinter group — led by a Kurtz-like figure known as The Commodore — forces the transfer of young men who will be used as labor…and food. The last survivor of the march receives a mysterious White Box which holds the key to survival" according to cordero.
