It just gets deeper, realer, better, rawer, stronger...The roots are heading nose first towards the true greats in best musicians/band of the last century
legendary. who else is out there that is even in the arena with the roots? even more importantly, who is taking this incredible groove and fusion forward? who's worthily following in the roots' footsteps? I ask you...
the roots, best live hip-hop band outta there, always gives you what you don't expect from the day they come out and their is rooted....... this is real hip-hop people. one big love to the roots.
The Roots are truly the best band out right now. Just because they make hip-hop music the public doesn't give them the respect they deserve. What band you know today can fuse gospel. rock, funk, soul, and latin to make a classic cohesive sound? Maroon 5? Get the fuck out of here! These niggas are living legends.
no, because black thought, used that word as a form of expression through rap, but Ridogs used that word as a label for black people in quiet an unnecessary way, they aren't niggas who are living legends, they are a band of living legends
les ancetres les racine roots melange culturelle musical pour cette bombe sonore , monte le son et apreciez le style hip soul et gagne sa place sur la " prod H " dans ma playlist n oubliez pas le verre de whisky se ya !
I'm with Ridogs,........ livin' legends.
