Wale performed his single Pretty Girls on the Jimmy Fallon show last night to celebrate the release of Attention Deficit. And since Black Thought was there, he just happened to add a verse to the mix (and completely shit on Gucci Mane in the process). In retrospect, I’m kind of surprised that Wale didn’t get [...]
The title track off of The Roots upcoming 9th studio album, How I Got Over, just received the video treatment. DOPE. Really looking forward to this new album. Especially if it’s got this upbeat funkier vibe to it. Love this track.

Great to see the homie Melo-X doing big things. And tearing in front of a crowd that didn’t necessarily come there to see you is no easy task. Wish I could have been in the building.

I’m not gonna flood the site with Michael Jackson tributes. The man is a musical legend, and his passing is very sad. But I’m not going to blow it out of proportion, and ignore the fact that lots of people pass away every day. That being said, he will be sorely missed. Anyways, as a [...]
The Roots have long been one of the most dominant forces in not only hip hop, but in music in general. And now that they’re an integral part of the new Late Show with Jimmy Fallon, it seems like their influence on the culture is more pervasive than ever. Not passing on an opportunity like [...]
I tend to shy away from live videos of concerts, just cause the audio quality is usually pretty bad. But this is just a little too dope to pass on. The Roots performed in NYC on Tuesday (sadly, I was in the city, but couldn’t make it out), and brought out CurT@!n$ and my man [...]
If you didn’t know, a new posthumous release from legendary producer J-Dilla is dropping this summer, entitled Jay Stay Paid. The project is being managed and mixed by Pete Rock, and will feature guest verses by some of hip hop’s elite. This first leak features Black Thought of The Roots, and hopefully gives a pretty [...]
As a new addition to the Crate Digging series I’ve reached out to a number of people in the music community to add their experiences, and some of their favourites. I’m the novice and they’re the masters. To kick it off, here is a selection by K-Murdock of Panacea:
Quincy Jones – “Walking in Space”
Anyone who [...]
So… my man Wildersee Harris made it through the first round of Indaba’s remix contest for The Roots. And so now, as one of the top 25 finalists, his remix is being judged by Black Thought and ?uesto. But there’s also a very important voting component. That’s where you come in. I really wanna see [...]
I love the Roots. I love Yo Gabba Gabba! So put them together and you sir, have made me a very happy man (which is kind of weird when you think about it). But seriously, this is dope. Its also available for purchase in the iTunes store. In related Roots news, they are retiring from [...]
