i own most if not all of the albums ever made by The Roots (definitely putting a dent in my wallet) but this is one of my favorites because it best showcases their strength; their ability to rock a live crowd with their musicianship. it's a must have for anyone into hip-hop or pop music in general.
the added lesson part III is one of the most awesome roots songs, it's not live but an added cut
The more the Roots face the bright stage lights, whether on tour or Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the more their music recedes into big city high-rises and a bleak worldview. Founding members Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter and Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson still remember when they pitched freestyle raps over pot-and-pan beats on Philadelphia's South Street, and when Thompson got accepted to Julliard but couldn't afford to attend. In the 25 years since, the hip-hop band… more »
On September 7th, a federal appeals court in Cincinnati, Ohio, all but closed the book on sampling in hip-hop. A three-judge panel ruled that recent federal laws pertaining to the piracy of digital recordings also apply to the recycling of old songs by producers. Deviating from previous agreements that set up limits and tests for "legal" usages, the new decision aims to tighten the clamps on all lengths and types of samples, from entire riffs… more »
Börk's got a lot going for her: eccentric songwriting, visual presence, a smartly chosen bunch of collaborators, high-flying conceptual grandeur. More than anything, though, she's got a voice like nothing else on the planet. It's bizarre and lovely, a sound that seems at home both on radio hits and in avant-garde art spaces. It communicates at least as much as her songs themselves, and in fact presenting lyrics is pretty far from the point: unless… more »
When the Roots signed on as Jimmy Fallon's Late Night house band, there was a curious catch: NBC wouldn't be paying for the rights to any music, not even the band's own. Consequently. the Roots had to compose dozens of new pieces for on-air use. The upside: those pieces needed only be long enough to play the show in and out of commercials, or to accompany guests from the wings to the desk. Everything old becomes… more »
Once upon a time, Washington D.C.'s go-go and New York hip-hop were both local party music sounds known to a select few. They were very much alike — stripped-down music relying heavily on percussive breakdowns and what "proper" musicians would dismiss as mere vamping, hosted by smooth mic operators who shouted out as much as they rhymed and talked more than sang, keeping the parties going continuously for hours. Go-go has bubbled up into the edge… more »
