You may know the roots as the house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, but long before they set up stage in 30 Rock (30 Rockefeller Center in New York City) The Roots have held it down as one of the best live acts of the past 20 years. Black Thought's impeccable rhyming accompanied by ?uestlove's funky drumming has garnered them a place in not just hip-hop history, but music history as a whole. My first exposure to them was with the single "Seed 2.0" from their awesome 2002 album Phrenology, and with that one hit, I was addicted for life. Check out their new video "How I Got Over" from the upcoming album of the same name below, "The Seed 2.0", and the original song that inspired it, Cody ChesnuTT's "Seed". Be warned: The Roots are a gateway drug that may lead to more good music.
