The Roots

Any fans of the lengendary Roots crew?

I'm really a fan of their drummer (?uestlove), but they rock as a hip hop band.

Yeh, they're alright .

i can't get into most hip hop, but the roots are good. i have a cd with them jamming out "all along the watchtower" with Dave Matthews Band. Their guitar player is good. And i also have a video of them playing "why oh why/crush" at the NAACP awards with DMB.

they're good instrumentalists

I like some of their songs a lot. I have their latest album "The Tipping Point" and it's pretty good.

Yeah, that was awesome at the NAACP awards. Two of my favorite drummers playing together, and it came together well.

The Roots are incredible. I always seem to not like their singles that much... but they are a great band.

Black Thought is one of the greatest lyricists ever, there on top with Prodigy of Mobb Deep and Christopher Wallace. I haven't heard their latest work though.

Their strength lies in their live performances. You are right antiarte, Black Thought is a genious. Hub lays it on the bass and Kamal on the keys. Capt. Kirk (a.k.a. String assasin) replaces Ben (who moved to incubus).
