I like the roots. they have good messages in their songs, amazing lyrics, and creative backing tracks (not that stock snare clap shit you hear over and over in hip hop)
@starfoxmack10 What the hell are you talking about?? Isn't the song's meaning that you SHOULD give a fuck because the other way of thinking "can't get you nowhere"? So next time when you are badmouthing Vevo, try to atleast do it right
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

Pick one :) Two favorites "Things Fall Apart" and this one "How I got over"... released like 10 years apart and both out cold. All Roots crew puts weak hip-hop to the test!
I was listening to this song then I got pulled over for not making a complete stop at a stop sign. I was going 2 mph with no cars in sight. Then the cop searched my car and he kept telling me and my 2 friends he was gonna get the dogs because he 'knew' there was weed in my car and I better just tell him where it is. I didn't have any. Fuck the police there's crack heads walking down the street and you want to make money off a teenager. Surprise of the story, I'm white.
@MrHalfblack69 I agree completely, this song speaks to everyone, black, white, native american, chinese, armenian, anyone who grew up in the ghetto. And it reminds us that with nothing, there is always a chance for us to make something out of ourselves.
@cmhonsu33 Why? It's vevo, dumbass. Listen to it without the music video if you want to hear it without the swearing. I'm not in any way endorsing censorship. I think it's fucking stupid but what do you expect, man? This is an official music video lol. They always cut the swearing.
Da Carter 4 is the greatest album of all time. It's a timeless classic that will stand the test of time. Lil Wayne is the greatest of all time. Pac doesn't have shit on Wayne. It's not even close. #2 is Soulja Boy #3 Waka Flocka. After that the talent level drops way before you couldeven begin to talk about Pac, Biggie, Mos Def, Nas, Blackthought, Tribe Called Quest, Smif N' Wessun, De La Soul, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, or Curren$y. Those guys are nothing compared to Wayne. Get At Me
I'm a halfblack nigga from the hood and this song deeply touches me because this is how life was before God blessed me and I got into college but you want to care about people and it's tough I'm not gonna lie but trust me when I say there is someone out there on those streets that needs somebody to care about them cause it's easy to get categorized as just another nigga from the hood
@MrHalfblack69 every nigga from the hood is just another nigga from the hood. what we gotta remember is that doesnt mean we have to die before we reach 30, or get locked up for life. bein another nigga from the hood can be a positive lifestyle too.
A very inspiring song nothing but real talk, we all really need to stop with this "i dont give a fuck" mess and start caring more bout our people and our sourroundings even if we dont get that same care back. Im just saying Im not a perefect person either. The Roots Forever!
@narusku4 Called it!....but, how can I be a prick and a faggot? I also don't have to take a number if you already responded to me. I also said something different because it's annoying when people play the race card just because they can.
@skyguy15 Yes, I get what you're saying. People who always post their opinion about how The Roots deserved the Grammy more than Drake are ofcourse much more reliable then me, who only said that Drake is dope.
@Graenelolz drake is soooo wack ha, have you seen his freestyle on tim westwood, that rich prick cant even rap, never mind make a decent hip hop track. this song has depth and meaning and should have taken that grammy
@ORIGINALGANGST4 Whack because he can't freestyle? Dude, there's almost not anyone "freestyling" even Eminem, Black Thought or Mos Def present their written raps in form of freestyles. That's not the way you should classify rap artists. If you want to hear him rhyme technically well, check out his part on "Miss Me" or "Over". There are far worse music artists then Drake out there.
@Graenelolz i didnt say he was wack cos he couldnt freestyle, i said he couldnt rap! on westwood he obviously had writtens, and he was still terrible! are you saying eminem, black thought and mos def cant freestyle, cos theyre sick. i class rap artists differently, drake is mostly a rapper for the charts, not a hip hop artist, black thought and the roots are true hip hop. miss me and over are not hip hop and the verses are wack, the songs have no depth! drake is overrated, hes a studio gangster
@ORIGINALGANGST4 Again, you classify your artists wrong. Stop using that word "true"/"real". It's corny ass bullshit. Drake never claimed to be a gangster, nor did he claim that every song is "deep". He doesn't rap about politics, so what? Ever heard of love-songs? Hip Hop/Rap is not ONLY made for politics. Also, being a hip hop artist doesn't imply that you'll never reach the billboards. Eminem, 2pac and Outkast sold more than Drake ever could, still they're all rappers.
@Graenelolz your not quite understanding what im saying, drake can obviously make songs that sell well, just as eminem,2pac and outkast did. but this hip hop (roots) is not made for making money (as drakes, eminems, 2pacs is), it is made because it is an art form, a culture, 2pac and eminem were sell outs, call pac a legend all you will, but at the time of his death he was in it for the money. this IS hip hop, that boom bap, funky, meaningful rap, i never mentioned politics, i i just mean depth
@ORIGINALGANGST4 I get what you're saying, but then again, it's not quite right. Because at some point, even The Roots are doing hip hop for money. Of course they do. It's their job to do that, otherwise they would be broke. And Drake, yes - he wants to make money out of his music. But that's not why he is in it for. If you ever took time to check him out, he really loves hip hop and he grew up with this subculture. So all he ever wanted was to do what he can and get famous for it.
@ORIGINALGANGST4 And depth isn't just politics like you said, yes. But that doesn't mean that Drake isn't meaningful. If you ever listened to "Fireworks", he raps as meaningful as it gets about his upcoming stardom, about relationships and how hard it is to grow up without people around you, especially parents, because they divorce.
Hey everyone...those who love God "Thumbs up" or check out my channel & leave a positive comment about God...it's time to give God some praise...Thanks God Bless
@aligned576 I'd love to hear The Roots sample that main riff from The Royal Scam. I know they would really flow with that, considering what the songs about and everything.
@bergman864 if you think its so bad get off the page and listen to someone you do like, and let the people who love the roots and there beautiful music be. its as simple as not coming to the page in the first place if you dont like them. period. end of story.

I am a total and utter metal head but I like this song, its not amazing, but I like it mostly because its not really hip hop or rap, more soul, and I am a guy who loves songs like I need the dollar, stand by me and aint no sunshine
IF YOU LOVE HIP-HOP SUPPORT HIP-HOP. CHECK OUT “HIDEFINITION -I’M READY, YO!” AND HELP GET THE TALENTED ARTISTS THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE. THUMBS UP IF YOU’RE FEELING THIS!
are you fucking kidding me...chris brown look at me now being promoted right under a beutiful meaningful song..thats fucking relatable... fuckkk this fucking country fuckkkkkkkkk
The streets have a whole lot to offer... Everyone is down to speak on their perspective on life and how they've lived it... Theres a rich and undeniable bounty of knowledge one can learn from approaching others and speaking to them as if the they were family... People are all the same. We all just were raised under different roofs....
Thumbs up if you bought this album because you support real hip hop

ORIGINALGANGST4 2 months ago
@ORIGINALGANGST4 Again, you classify your artists wrong. Stop using that word "true"/"real". It's corny ass bullshit. Drake never claimed to be a gangster, nor did he claim that every song is "deep". He doesn't rap about politics, so what? Ever heard of love-songs? Hip Hop/Rap is not ONLY made for politics. Also, being a hip hop artist doesn't imply that you'll never reach the billboards. Eminem, 2pac and Outkast sold more than Drake ever could, still they're all rappers.
Who are you to judge?
Graenelolz 2 months ago
@Graenelolz your not quite understanding what im saying, drake can obviously make songs that sell well, just as eminem,2pac and outkast did. but this hip hop (roots) is not made for making money (as drakes, eminems, 2pacs is), it is made because it is an art form, a culture, 2pac and eminem were sell outs, call pac a legend all you will, but at the time of his death he was in it for the money. this IS hip hop, that boom bap, funky, meaningful rap, i never mentioned politics, i i just mean depth
ORIGINALGANGST4 2 months ago
@ORIGINALGANGST4 I get what you're saying, but then again, it's not quite right. Because at some point, even The Roots are doing hip hop for money. Of course they do. It's their job to do that, otherwise they would be broke. And Drake, yes - he wants to make money out of his music. But that's not why he is in it for. If you ever took time to check him out, he really loves hip hop and he grew up with this subculture. So all he ever wanted was to do what he can and get famous for it.
Graenelolz 2 months ago
@ORIGINALGANGST4 And depth isn't just politics like you said, yes. But that doesn't mean that Drake isn't meaningful. If you ever listened to "Fireworks", he raps as meaningful as it gets about his upcoming stardom, about relationships and how hard it is to grow up without people around you, especially parents, because they divorce.

The streets have a whole lot to offer... Everyone is down to speak on their perspective on life and how they've lived it... Theres a rich and undeniable bounty of knowledge one can learn from approaching others and speaking to them as if the they were family... People are all the same. We all just were raised under different roofs....
