Rocking with the Roots can be the BEST thing SOMETIMES. Saw Meth, Rae & Ghost rock with them at the Roots Fest last year and honestly--- the sound could have been better and rawer.
But the Roots have made some songs STRONGER especially with Black Thought on the mike.

The fact they wanted to play the original version is legit, but come on, you don't think NBC has some world class sound mixers to get the vocals nice and centered? It's not like he'd be up there with some weak monitors getting lost in the mix.

@damieandark that's true but you also gotta understand that Meth & Red are also hip hop legends and probably didnt see it that way. in 1,000,000 years people will still remember wu tang clan & redman so they don't get starstruck like we do

shit pac ripped it on snl with a live band

@flux302 shooting star = suit and tie

the decision was foolish to not rock with the Roots. The Roots are the best and they would've made their song an instant classic instead of just another single. talk about a lost opprotunity. the "greatest rapper alive" (to some..lol) Jay-Z had the Roots do his entire Unplugged show...are they saying they're better than Jay?

I have to agree I like how meth sounded on tical dirty muffled... can't stand how he sounded on his later ish where he is so crispy and clean. .... those words would not be affiliated with the wu sound. "he's looking for a shooting star rap thats cleaner than a bar of soap, and I'm the dirtiest thing in sight!"
as for not ricking with the roots. look if you go on that show, it's expected you rock with the roots... anything less is weak, I don't care how new your record is.

they shouldve lit up a blunt

Im exactly the same as meth lol unmixed or mixed i dnt give a fuck
I think Red makes a good point - they just put the track out - so they want people to get familiar with it. Then once people get familiar you start doing live remixes

I understand their reasons for not wanting a band but its THE ROOTS if it was me it would be to good an op to miss out on.
