just looked these guys up today, this is what hip hop should really be about. Not about autotune and fancy cars and having a mansion and a yacht or any of that materialistic bullshit.
THE BEST! AND ITS NOT DEBATEABLE! -- TAKE ah BREAK FROM THE LOW VIBRATIONS DIG INTO THE ROOTS -HIeroglyphs- READ THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL -- MILLINEUM - FIFTH DIMENSON NEW AGE - AQUARIUS -- GREEDY LADEL PUT MONOPOLY ON THE TABLE PROMOTING A.D.D.

He has a chew stick in his mouth which is basically a flavored piece of wood. They was popular in the early 90s for a short while, like short a phase.
somebody tell me if this ain't the heaviest hip hop ....the roots are the best rap group ever..can't compare 50 cent or the shit that we listen to now a days o this ya meen y'all just can't we are in the presence of the true hip hop
@sonofbrazil "we ain't gotta pretend... the cold that we live is full of pressure and pain enough of me now listen to game" i dunno, 50 cent isn't all commercial if you listen between his lines.
@sonofbrazil I see em' every chance I get well worth the 40 bucks. I woud't pay a dime to see most rappers and I'm a hip hop fiend but these guys everytime its like an experience.
I can't believe that these people have their asses planted in their seats... they are ORDERED to GET UP! at 1:44 and they just sit there! "Wooooo, clap, clap, clap... yeah... that was totally cool, bro!" This audience is witnessing/ listening to something that is absolutely timeless and all they can do is sit down and say "Wooooooooooo"?
Yeah! The Roots can't go wrong with Shaq on bass and Allen Iverson on secondary percussions! Just kiddin'! These guys are true musicians and emcees! Most rappers should take notes... this is the shit that will give you goosebumps!... all live instruments and sick lyrics wins every time!
everyone is entitled to their own opinion but to say thought is sub-par is like saying michael jordan wasn't that good of a b-ball player. he is one of the greatest and arguably THE greatest to ever touch the mic. his prowess is acknowledged by many in the music industry-including the commercial acts that you wouldn't expect to pay any mind to the roots.
anyways, i respect your opinion but i had to throw my two cents in when i saw that. peace.
