  • that last verse is spine chilling

  • uh..whoa.

  • fuck my shit. this is amazing!)

  • booommmmbb

  • Greatings to all,

    If any1 of u got Roots-Lionheart song from BrooklynBabylon movie please post it cause I cant find it anywhere

  • True and who has the movie BrooklynBabylon add that too!

    -StoicOne!

  • Hell yeah!!! this is the BEAT!!!

  • It's like if Radiohead was from South Philly.

  • my feelings exactly man

    the roots got such a unique groove that they make it feel so frigging cool

  • even better than on the record

    that bassist is in Incubus now

  • the bassist isn't in incubus, the guitarist is. He just happens to play bass in incubus now. He can do it all guitar, bass, drums, and sing. Check out his one man band videos on youtube "ben kenney"

  • and remote controlled nitro cars are one of his hobbies

  • shits tight

  • I've been loving The Roots since I was young man my brother got me hooked on them

  • i have "do you want more" and i listen ti evryday

  • Hip hop? Where? Child? Thats ROOTS MUSIC. yah nah kno bout that? Tis Roots!

  • ive seen these guys live in salt lake city at a free music festival and they are awsome

  • this songs about Malik B.....

  • they nice always been nice just underrated

  • nobody got sound like the roots, so fresh

  • This song's hella sad. It reminds me of Bradley Nowell.

  • Too bad they wont blow up until after their dead. Then suddenly everyone will be a fan. But those who've been there from the beginning will know the truth. Ive been a fan since '93

  • true that.

  • Word...just like J DIlla....that's so sad but real..ohwell Im a youngin and I been down with them since '99 when Things Fall Apart came out. I heard "Dont See Us" on the radio and been hooked ever since.

  • Same here since '93. True hip hop will live forever. These cats will be here for a long time, I'll bet my four year old will be going to roots concerts when she gets older.

  • lotta cats dry...it go from h to x to loosie sigirette...codine by the quart...its called water yall its ice cold coca cola

  • I thought Phrenology was a FANTASTIC record. This is outta this world!

  • ridiculous talent.!

  • I'm usually not one for hip-hop, but i love The Roots! Everyone in the band is genuinely talented and they use actual instruments, and not that computer generated crap.

  • withought doubt one of the most underated bands of all time.

  • actually they're very popular and highly recognized as one of the greatest bands of our time. No they're not on billboards like Miley Cyrus or Lil Wayne, but they're still regarded as one of the greatest hip hop groups, hell even bands of all time.

  • thank god for the music of the roots

  • absolutely.

  • no, thank roots for their music :)

  • these guys are it

  • ooohh shooot! first time i saw this one . word!

  • BEN KENNEY!

  • the real rap is right here :) The Roots!

    tight!

  • yep, good thing these guys are around and going strong....

  • Smut Jawn, I dont see your videos up here on You Tube. I actually met Black Though and he is one of the most down to earth dudes I ever met. Your opinion is def invalid and The Roots are what Hip Hop is about. Your ignorance is probably due to immaturity or maybe a product of your environment, but nonetheless, you lack any credibility.

  • you're a house nigga.

    think about it.

    you are like, to be fair, on youtbue, with an account.

    no offence, just returning that stupid racist term.

    eejit.

  • youre a dumbass bitch.

  • philly ...STAND UP!!!!!!

  • I Know they love what theyre doin 4 a living... cuz shucks i love watching.

  • nice vibe + deep concept = MUSIC

  • haha @ questloves face 0:57

    man thats funny!

  • Groups like The Roots and Dead Prez keep Hip Hop credible. They make awesome hip hop without constantly talking about guns, killing people bitches and hoes. Plus The Roots are sick musicians!!!

  • so sick, the roots are the epitome of hiphop

  • The Roots, The best music !!! The best Musicians in the Planet !!!

  • "Stop playing boy..." lol

    The Roots are one of the best live bands I've seen.

  • WORD !!

  • wow. B

  • the roots, Lupe fiasco, Fort minor, is TRUE rap

  • i dont know about fort minor

  • Nah man, Fort Minor is real too. Listen to it.

  • They're tight, but I wouldn't consider them up there with the Roots and Lupe.

  • agreed. black's and lupe's lyrics are real dope as hell.

  • I am now a fan of hip hop.

  • wlecome... the more the merrier

    real hip hop 4 life!

  • damn why cant these guys get mainstream already.

  • nahh then there'll be Soulja Boy cats everywhere talking about how wack the Roots are, the world's better this way

  • it does not matter they will get way more fans than now.

  • because to them music aint about mass apeal and cash. to them its an art form and a communication tool and to sacrafice integrity for popularity would contradict themselves. they just wouldnt be the roots no more...

  • Big up

  • Black Thought is among the greatest emcees period

  • ...agreed!, if anyone says he's not one of the greatest should just listen carefully to this song... some of the illest lyrics i've ever heard

  • and he's sexy too

  • かっこ良すぎる

  • YEAAAAAAH this is the shit man, screw 50 cent and soulja "suck my ass I think I can rap" boy, this is hip hop at its finest

  • I agree this is what Hip-hop is supposed to sound like

  • YEZZZZZZZZZZ

  • GREAT!

  • without a doubt the best hip hop has to offer... mainstream rap today is a mockery of the craft and talent of men like those in The Roots and their peers, ie: Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, etc.. (i know i didnt list many, but theres too many quality artists to list that were before their time)

  • sooo good!

    hip hop with real instruments is the best!

  • 2002 man why wasnt this posted earlier!?

  • look up berklee and the roots and you'll find the berklee college of music's version of this song

  • a couple of mistakes. just to make you know it is real. Gotta love that.

  • um....

  • Wow, they sound exactly the same live as they do in their songs...

  • Music Perfect  ;)

  • PeakaPeep is right this IS where hip-hop should be right now, I wish more rap artists would have realized this is where its at for real music.
