In The Music

[50centgunitlloydbank]

great,i like it,guitar part sounds so good

[hotspotsallover]

check out the drummer jeffJRrandall!!!

[TheKevzero1]

Maybe I'm an old dinosaur,but keep guitars and drummers for rock n roll,get back to basics,the first element is the DJ,people may see it as progressing but if you progress to much then it's something else and not Hip Hop,it's only my opinion.

[Naatala23]

zajebiste ;)

[MrPocketGroover]

is this filmed at Avatar in NYC?

[JHengst3]

Its In the Music -

Turn it up, let it knock, let it bang on the block til the neighbors call the cops.

The cops gonna come but they ain't gonna do ish.

They don't want no problem. What are ya'll stupid!

Yeah- Co-sign

[enow0049]

7 people couldn't handle the music

[demon5081]

cool...

[DanielOoOSon]

WTF is wrong with the crowd! I didn't get the to get to see em when they came to town. But if I had the opportunity I would be ecstatic, Nd hyped Yo.

[critic7337]

You ever seen Kanye perform? The guy struggles for air, sounds like he's breathing through the last condom he had in his mouth. Thought's got breath control like an opera singer and delivers like fed-ex. He's so chill on stage too.

[MrDisney29]

CENSURED !!

[toddmonster]

i love the sound of that yamahaaaa.. what model is it???

[sketchbager]

@toddmonster maple custom (old version)

[nvlptl]

[furiousphoenix77]

One of the best pieces of art they ever created...Thanx to all of you who support the REAL HIP HOP !!!

[weloveandmissaaliyah]

The Roots are amazing. The best Hip Hop band ever.!

[lbrtjrr]

[Msalis15]

[cougheebrothaD1]

[shahizo]

"Dont bother me akh

Dont u dare lie to me akh

I dont know who this brotha u tryina be akh.."

Damn Malik still M.I.A from shows..haha

[dakeved]

Black Thought has the best breath control of any MC I have ever heard. He must go through one hell of a cardio workout.

[stacerobin1]

@dakeved i agree. He reminds me of this old movie about free divers , "the big blue". Breath Control. Its a whole other level.

[black777666lol]

ok those ppl in the cowrd were not getting it what kind of weak ass clapp was that??? if the roots was playing for me and a small goup i wouldnt be faking happy thats for sure

[spittgame]

@black777666lol for real man, i was like what? i was like wow, after this, no standing ovation? get up. maybe they wasnt feelin it like i was feelin it but i woulda been clappin, yellin, startin the wave, light my bic and wave it, shit man. and how smooth was the music from top to bottom. ooooh that bass.

[black777666lol]

@spittgame word at lest you feel me

[Zbutan]

Why Tupac or Biggie?

Black Thought owns it.

It's in the music. I duck cops but they ain't gone do shit.

[DCsWiseMan]

Imagine Biggie or Tupac on this beat (scary)

[lesfiend17]

The roots are ill, but, anyone have any idea where i can get a blazer like that?!

[greenmann9000]

This song is great - one of their best

[cougheebrothaD1]

thst dude bad aint he

[jolmadafakaa]

i totally love this song.

[PeachRobbler]

Not allowed to say "clips and revolvers"?

I think university students can handle that isht

[mrbovee9]

@PeachRobbler he still said it, they bleeped him on MTV only. dummy

[thebassguy9083]

@PeachRobbler i think he said it they just edited it for the mtv thing

[drgonzo71]

If more Hip-hop "artists" were musicians like these guys, maybe rap would be worth a shit...

[bsilver887]

i know what you mean...but there are still a lot of rappers who are great that arent getting the attention they deserve...hell even nas isnt getting the same numbers as he used to.

[namkooc]

thats because nas fell off

[Nireves33]

I tend to view rap the same way I view most popular forms of music, 90% of it is derivative crap, but the 10% that isn't is amazing.

[tctebsrules]

yea no kiddin..

[BenetFleck]

This is not one of the best beats ever.

This crap is 2o yeeeers olde. No one evenb knows who Charleton Heston is. It's all in WHAT music?

But the roots r jam.

[Kolman23]

You honestly don't know who Charlton Heston is? I'm a teenager and know of the actor and famous gun advocate. Try to educate yourself.

Also, it is a great beat, these guys are amazing live, definetely going to see them live at Summerfest!

[famron]

ya your retarded

[mffu]

stupid censorship...

[bigrawbio]

wow...one of the few roots songs that sounds better on the album. big up to the legendary though...keep it thoro

[cemo0alevi0style]

[Ipwnallofyou]

[m1yamaha]

[milodjilodj]

[OKTA1]

[bafjemOeder]

Fucking hell im so fucking sick of these fucking assholes that scrim all the words like nigga's fuck etc etc. They need to learn nigga isn't offensive its they way you say it. This shit fucks up the entire song. and i like the roots so much its like my favorite group.

[pearldrummer525]

[droski1020]

True, Tupac said

Never Ignorant Getting Goals Always

[stitchmond3]

[thefreehuey]

Wow, Hub's bass has a dangerous and awesome growl. He's one of the best.

[ofik12]

[silvestri98]

goliath is right, you dont have to be black, poor or live in the ghetto to appreciate good music. hell i know kids in the hood who listen to shit like g-unit becasue they think thats real hip/hop, lol

[eran821]

Crazy bass shit.

[groovement2007]

Hip-Hop is an expression with a side of extra. Universal Baby........

[shaqwade4]

hip hop gives me ear diarrhea, I love hip hop

[Enno71]

cause white boys can pay for the tix with their parents credit

[PhillyEagles10]

Yesssurr'! Reppin' Delaware to the fullest! The roots music is smart and not idiotic like the rest of the bs rap out there.. even though I still listen to the BS rap out there because, well for the most part, most new music sucks. Its somewhere between Jersey & DELAWARE PHILLY NEVER SCARED!!! GO EAGLES!! PHILLIES!!

[HumanAfterAll23]

Damn this is Hiphop. Respect

[iLLskiLLz005]

best song

[gotadicolors]

i love this song

[DClean]

why is it all those white college boys in the audience. I mean i'm a white college boy, but i feel like i dont wanna go to a roots concert cause ill just be another cracker in the crowd of white boys. I know Black folks must be feeling this music, why arent they there. ???

[thatguyonthestreet]

We like smart rap.

[MUN7001]

lol

[realeverton1]

hahahaha serious

[RythmPoint]

So... u saying dat u afraid to go c an act dat u lik just cuz u afraid to be Stereotyped??? nah man in the end what matters is music period... im sure d rootz dont sit there thinking "man this record better be heard only by (our ppl)" its made for anyone who's willin to digest it, understand it, n nod to it...!!!

[Middleground4]

one day i'ma be on his level

w w w. myspace.c o m/middlegroundco

[Brad789]

cause white boys can pay for the tix with their parents credit.

[Gungan91]

what? u r talkin shit , im white and i live in a ghetto in germany

[BIZKID25]

So what germany... Who gives a shit.

[MUN7001]

this shit is universal. Hiphop is universal. There is hiphop in britian, Canada, Japan, Mexico. It doesn't matter , hiphop was not meant to segregate black people, it was meant to bring people together.

[Gungan91]

you are so right man!

[Jazzmaster1962]

coolest thing i've read today so far.

[BIZKID25]

True. But hip-hop is made FOR black people. Don't forget it. You ask the artist who they are making it for and 99 percent of them will say black people.

[MUN7001]

hiphop used to be for black situations, but there is so many people in the world with the state of mind, that hiphop had to open up to everyone. Now, there is people all over the world that like it. It's not only for black people, or 'ghetto' people, because we all know that latinos were also instrumental in hiphop, a band like the Roots, tours the world, why do you think?

[dirtysouthernhotshot]

wrong. latinos, as the guy said, were instrumental in the formation of modern hip hop

[freezeyfree]

bullshit not anymore it isn't...with the mentality like that you're just allowing stereotypes and racism to still occur

[GOLIATHdominates]

yo friends I'm white and I'm not poor. You don't have to live in da ghetto to feel a hot beat and recognize real hip hop, what little there is left.

... though I do live on the southside of chi.

[MUN7001]

exactly lol

[JustaPsycho]

Fuckin right, you get respect 4 dat. This song is hot.

[adameblen]

I agree with you man..I live in east tennessee..but i still feel real music..and the roots got it!!!!

[xanmere]

dclean enjoy yourself its all about the vibe of the music lot of black folks(i'm black female)arent at the concerts because concerts usually consist of young folks, especially whats considered rap(I think they're just a hellava band)& the young are VERY influenced by radio air play & now adays videos which is controlled by corporate sponsorship & I personally hardly if ever hear or see the ROOTS on air.money is usually tight so blk kids dont buy a lot of disc they havent heard ENJOY.PEACE OUT

[Seanievision]

I'm not a real hip-hop fan but I can't get enough of The Roots. This track owns as does Game Theory!

[budz73]

Saw them in Orlando last week. I'm not a huge Hip-Hop fan, but they have my upmost respect. I'll never miss a Roots show again.

[TheChacoGuy]

yeah they are authentic

[Jazzmaster1962]

kickassss

[djabthrash]

badass song

[WestCoast604]

The roots are amazing, this song dominates, need a better music video tho.

[fatalberto26]

they need to make a real vid. i love this song

[Heinsbergen]

i seriously need the shirt the drummer is wearing. kickass.

[woodside4life]

i-er- hope you fulfill your dream.
