  • I just love how they move to the music :) Look at their feet, their head, their shoulders. It's because they are black. White men dont do that, they dont feel that...

  • We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

    You can change our future with one simple click.

    Please thumbs up so other people can see this and check out our channel and comment with feedback if you like,also if you think we could improve.

    If you like check the other artists we have over 90 vids up!

    Cheers!

  • @kalenabc cody chesnutt is on lead guitar, and vocals, the dude in the sunglasses on second guitar is ben kenney from incubus. not sure though...

  • Don't click "the like button". Push it.)

  • ha this is fucking aweome

  • We have a great singer in Sweden, he's black and his name is Olle Hammar. Please take him to USA ... cause SWEDISH PEOPLE ARE RASISTS. He's just awesome!!!

  • @steppingupgirl How could we do that?

  • What's wrong with 153 peoples?

  • good song good video, bad commercial..for what?google politic$ :)

  • black forever...

  • forever!!!!!!!!!!! ♥♥

  • musical nirvana folks !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love the roots! they can do no wrong..

  • 2nd guitar...

  • @MrBracht82 what 2nd guitar?

  • is that ben kenney on the guitar?? this was before the move to incubus... hmm...

  • To me, the meaning of this song (The Roots version) is very similar to MGMT's Handshake. It's kind of like they're both saying: The money is great so right now I'm delivering what you'd expect, but don't think you can control my musical influences or limit my creative direction, because you won't know anything about it until it's done.

  • How can anyone dislike this song? It has everything. Smooth, deep hip hop lyrics, rock style guitar and drums, RB/Blues style singing. So who can honestly complain about any facet of this song?

  • master piece!

    chef d'oeuvre
