[OoSABINoO]

?UESTLOVE !!

[Bronk0Nagurski]

Jimmy Fallon is a f###ing geek, and not in a good way. How he ever landed The Roots as his house band I'll never know. God Bless you Jimmy...I don't think your a lick of funny, but you got a talk show and The Roots...two things I clearly don't. Props.

[honeegrrl]

70 people think Nikki Minaj is real hip hop.

[TheDickey747]

the roots your some sorry ass niggers

[honeegrrl]

@TheDickey747 LOL, honey if you don't like the Roots then why are you on this page. Something led you to this page otherwise you wouldn't be here, LMAO!

[Bronk0Nagurski]

@TheDickey747 Although I disagree with your premiss, I'm interested to hear your reasoning as to why The Roots are 'some sorry ass niggers'.

[thoomolong]

But...why would anyone dislike this jam?

[honeegrrl]

@thoomolong  Because people who dislike the root think that Nikki Minaj is real hip hop.

[swiftfist95]

Jimmy Fallon is the luckiest presenter on TV

[nmes80]

still luvin it

[CleanFats]

Drummer with the phattest haircut.

[MrHalfblack69]

3:17 lol white girls

[notafake]

I like how the band stays together and the video isn't showing just the singing-dude. And OF COURSE the sound is amazing, specially the old sound (remember Boom! from tipping point)

[ly2rics]

Gregory5741 5 shot the fuck up man..you know nothing about music

[xXSuckxYaxMuddaXx]

Aww R.I.P J Dilla

[88ZoeMiss]

Classic video!

[Imsopimpitsridiculus]

NOW MuzicJusta biotxhman

[DaLatinAbstract]

classic Roots Vid!!

[domedepot11]

I can't get over how the girl on the right fell 3:17... SOMEBODY must have seen that...and just never thought to cut it out... or retake

[jaydubmusicman]

@domedepot11 Yeah, well as much dues have been paid , not a lot of people knew the Roots in 99. They probably couldn't even afford this video, let alone a retake.

[mrshihouin]

@domedepot11 maybe it was intentional?

[katanahawk]

@mrshihouin I'm thinking it was, there's a lot of silly stuff happening in this video

[fibo908]

@domedepot11 If u cant get over that, then you got big problems dude. Its something that isnt noticed and could be even taken as one more trick of this extraordinary and smart video ;)

[TheDawnmirage]

@domedepot11 LMBO!

[BlindFolded96]

@TheDawnmirage Laughing My Butt Off ?

[nopp1]

@domedepot11 it was made like that, for fun.

[CristianDMusic]

@domedepot11 Its on purpose, similar to 1:45 where they were jokin around how they were screwin up, notice how its at the end of the song before they're clubbing and shes looking at the camera smiling? lol

[MyPheenix]

@domedepot11 it actually cracks me up EVERYTIME i watch it too! 

[sweetdalyana]

this is the most crazy video i had ever seen!

[proslade]

@DanielDumile AHAHAHAHAHAAH DANIEL CAN SPEAK FOR HIMSELF

BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE A PSYCHOTIC RACIST RETARD SO YOU DON T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

YOU ARE PISSED BECOZ I AM BRINGING OUT THE TRUE IDIOT IN YOU ON THESE AMERICA VIDS AND YOU ARE

NOT 'FACELESS' ON ALL OF THEM

SOME PEOPLE APPARENTLY KNOW YOU THERE

ANS SAY YOU ARE A MENTAL CASE

AND A FAGGOT

CHECKMATE MORON

[NewDREAA]

How many people feeling this love music?

[Sceptorful]

@theredmars Damn man, you don't know? The guys doin' nothing 'but waving- their-hands in this video are from left to right: Rahzel, Malik b, and Scratch....

[3YECANDY08]

This Lov3 D!s VID ItS Soo DiFf I liKe How The Girls keep Goin Pass

[johnydeltablues]

3:17 look at the girl on the right :) ...and the drummer reminds me of the cartoon drummer in gorillaz :)

[nydaye]

Saw My Peoples in Concert in NYC. The thing I love about these brothers is they take hip-hop back to the essence.They give respect to the ol skool and compliment their music accordingly. I wish other "rappers" would do the same. This thing is bigger than them and THEIR EGOS!

[Imsopimpitsridiculus]

This iz real Rap last of the Real Rap Groups can you spell

[ThisMeansWarRecords]

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 70 vids up!

Cheers!

[loudoggg29]

lol the drummers just chillin

[sloansevenduecefour]

if u dont like the roots than u dont kno good music...they are more than just hip so versatile and blackthought's lyrical ability is ridiculous

[impishishere]

@sloansevenduecefour sooo true man!

[extorminator126]

Damn the drummer looks like Afroman

[LankyLegsLew]

Are they not too good to be a band for a late night show.

[Salukiham420]

looks like the drummer and the keyboard...er have lost some weight or gained weight from the chappelle block party concert

[lewisburg1000]

I love the roots. they are a rap group that makes actual music, with people actualy playing instruments.

[DotChannel]

@lewisburg1000 They're not rap. They're hip hop.

[tetilt]

@DotChannel They're not rap? They are clearly a rap group. and stop getting so caught up in putting things into categories.

[DotChannel]

@tetilt I'm a music genre historian. Sorry I might be a little obsessive over my genre history. These guys clearly represent the hip hop culture, therefore making them hip hop music. :)

[ComboBreakah]

@DotChannel lyrics are being rapped.

[camthebassist]

This song is so awesome. Anyone notice 3:18 when the curtain girl falls over?!

[r25rjr]

I love this band because it's a combination of hip hop and soul music. I love that. It's so unique.

[MrOto68]

Bon comme du bonbon

[Imsopimpitsridiculus]

It rymed@detroit

[Supervisor69]

lol good old times

:D

[detroitMC313]

1:17 - "I never use a cordless". He is using a cordless as he says that.... lol. Not cool Thought. SOMEONE should have caught that.

[thefalchion]

This is hiphop like it should be!

[r25rjr]

@thefalchion: Yes I agree, this is real hip hop music. I'd definatrely buy their original album. Forget about bootlegs CD'S or free digital download. This band deserves real support.

[MrCockSlut]

look out for the bitch fall on her ass after closing the curtain its near the end

[tsubodzuka]

Fuck me, I actually forgot about this song!

[shoshoni1985]

original idea!!!!!! different aspects of wiew!!!! rrooooooooooooottttttsssssssss­s

[xl3nt99]

Vevo's motto - TROLL 'EM ALL!!!

[adsbegone]

The Roots' music is more real than physics.

[puertoricankitten83]

i love the drumer mmmm look soo good papi....

[killahqueenzbboy]

i was younginnnn when this came out!!!!

[Stringprodigy]

Hey Vevo - I'm gonna bust a nut inside your eye so you can see where I'm comin' from.

[iPoDVDroM]

rnd? umm. I think the best thing about them is that they sound jazzy, and thats all live music (i mean instruments n stuff, not just samples and cheap fruity loops dirty south maafaka da gangsta monkey beat). At least they dont rap about how much money they have, how many chicks they fuck, how big is their dick and all that "real nigga" stuff that is all garbage. There are not that much bands out there who play live hip-hop.

[Gregory5741]

I can easily say that the roots attrack a diffent audience now than in the time they were called 'real' hiphop.

[Juanpasaenz]

muthafuckin ?estlove, y'all

[chinchinal]

I Love The Roots Talent! Especially Quest Love ; ~ D

[sta8hs13]

se agapaw

[catkinson95]

Did anyone notice the girl who fell at 3:18 when she is pulling the curtain? LOL

[mrk0per]

Is that Afroman in the drums?(I know it's not)

[skhema20]

@mrk0per yes it is



[Gregory5741]

never liked the roots and never will... there's much better shit out there, they look so dumb

[ragingbull888]

@Gregory5741 who cares

[thecalitree]

@Gregory5741 From your comments on multiple roots videos, I can see that you don't like them. And since you absolutely have the right to comment any way you please on any video, please feel free to do so.

But from my years of internetz experience, I can tell you with like 98% certainty that absolutely nobody gives a fuck what you, Gregory5741, think about the Roots.

Damn, I don't even know why I took the time to write this.. oh well..

have a good one bro

[Gregory5741]

@thecalitree hehe thx but yeah i don't like them... there's much better hiphop to listen to imo. nobody cares, but i could still do a top 10 of real mc's I can't stand listening too and they'll be in it, probably up high... no offence man

[iPoDVDroM]

@Gregory5741 name them please. But if your list contains Drake, LiL Wayne etc. just go drink poison right after posting, save the world.

[Gregory5741]

@iPoDVDroM hehe nice one. Well, I listen to a lot of different stuff on beatjunkie82's channel, so there's plenty of good stuff on there.. just an exampl: I once was with a girl and she gave me a copy of a roots album... checked it and I thought at the time that it was women music.. lot of rnb in the songs and the rap is nothing to write home about... it turned out funny cause I gave her a cd named company flow - funcrusher plus, which i thought at the time was the shit. she didn't like it lol

[blueyedsole]

@Gregory5741 How the hell can you like company flow and not the roots --- You are 100% correct that company flow is tight, so I am seriously confused as to how you do not like the roots if you enjoy artists like CF....please help me understand??? And if you tell me that the roots sound like women's music I will find you and kick you in your mouth. Since you don't like the roots, I am guessing that you do not like; Mos, Talib, De La, etc...? Your reasoning is awkward bro...

[Gregory5741]

@blueyedsole It's not that awkward man, what's more awkward is you wanting to kick me in my mouth?? are you serious? I got a mail of youtube because you responded to me and my father was sitting next to me and I already knew I wasn't going to open it because on of you girlie music loving big mouths got offended by my opinion. Who cares if I don't like them? I'm not going to talk about music with you if you start insulting me, that's obvious. good night

[blueyedsole]

@Gregory5741 I hear you man, but next time check yourself before criticizing me about kick'n you in the mouth after you have already told someone on here to drink poison? Anyway man, I like that you hate lil wayne and them - couldn't agree wit you more. I am from Philly, so I am biased when it comes to the roots, so calling them women music is certainly your opinionated right, however I won't stand for it dawg. You seem to like the same MC's I like, so again confused. Roots are soulfully deep

[blueyedsole]

@Gregory5741 damn.. so it was not you who told someone to drink poison, my fault. Regardless, typically people who don't like artists such as the roots are people who don't really listen or can't comprehend what these artists are saying. Maybe that's the issue here with you and the roots. Sounding like women is a weak reason Gregory.

[Gregory5741]

@blueyedsole hehe you're ok But I have to be honest, I shouldn't post such opinions on places where people rave about this music. The Roots is still better than the majority of music that claims to be hiphop, but then again it's just not the style I prefer. The odd thing is that I actually like slum village and it is a little bit in the same genre. I don't want to make you sick with my opinion, but I think their music is not as pure as other rapgroups. I think they're a bit all over the place..

[Gregory5741]

@blueyedsole no harm done, right? I think the reason why I think they aim their music to women is all in my head. I had a girlfriend once who was crazy bout the Roots and I liked almost everything except the Roots for some reason. I like good sampled beats from real old records, like those you can find on beatjunkie82's channel. But yeah even nick wiz now makes kind of mainstream beats, so what's to be fond of... I'm sure there is somewhere some dope roots music that I even hadn't heard yet.

[blueyedsole]

@Gregory5741 of course not bro, everything is gravy. Just was seriously taken back at first cuz I've never heard anyone diss the roots like this. No biggie, my fault for even making it seem like it was. Peace bro

[Gregory5741]

@thecalitree and youre the only one who cared :) thanks

[Gregory5741]

@thecalitree lol at your comment being the best of the video... that must mean something don't it :D

[GustavCarl17]

@thecalitree You should copy and paste that on 95% of youtube videos. I think more people spend time reading and making dumb ass comments.

[Beverlytantan]

So Fly!!!!

[mikelarry2323]

idk why they sold out and became the house band for jummy falon.... how f*cking gay...

[ConorrONeilll]

@mikelarry2323 How have they 'sold out', Their still creating the same great music all they are doing is increasing publicity and making money doing their JOB. I think you're only angry because you are one of these self-obnoxious teens who are so opposed to 'conformism' they don't want others to share their tastes. KMT.

[ragingbull888]

@mikelarry2323 it's called money and making a living

[dennisama]

Damness, now i Need to roll another one.

[ptky8]

i love the roots and the song but i think the video could be better

[Africankidd83]

@ptky8 shut up bro, you gotta love this , unless you one of those people that like half naked women and fancy cars in rapper videos.

[gobberpooper]

@Africankidd83 it does have half naked women. about 50% of the planet loves half naked women

[4RealMagazineTV]

The vibe is fierce. This video is HOT!! I'm feeling this love music...how about you? #BOOM

[GalixeePromotions]

If you like the roots, I'd strongly suggest checking out K-Skeemz and Jae Swaggs, they are the New Wave of Neo-Soul Rap (Lyrics for SMART PEOPLE)

[JayTAkins]

man this is some awesome music.

[mirai481]

やばい！！ライブで聴いたときの感動は忘れられない！！！！　

[iJimmiBoi]

Such a chilled drummer, looks like he's just casually tapping. No effort at all.

[UntamedMagnet]

man great feeling

[troybetz]

love the way that bass drum head looks, almost like a visualizer

[jazzefingers]

the best hip hop band today! ...they have broken so many barriers and genres while still keepin real hip hop alive!...check the group "INRG - TAKE A PICTURE", another damn good sound!

[latifalesmana]

This weekend I saw them perform, it was the best :)
