Clipse & The Roots – Popular Demand x Grindin’ Live (Video)

After watching the rehearsal, I was hoping they would perform Grindin‘ on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon. But all was instantly forgiven when Black Thought stepped up and dropped a nice little verse. Now can we please get a studio recording? UPDATE: Turns out the Grindin’ performance is an online exclusive. Hit the jump…

  3. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like Pusha LOOOOOVES saying that “…like that Bron-Bron? I had that long time ago!” Homie looked dead into the camera. Musta been a nice young lady.

  18. Jesus christ Black thought’s verse on Grindin was sick. But I’ve heard it before, either it’s on some other freestyle or he just does it at live shows. sick nonetheless!

  26. they should definitely do official remix’s with BT spitting verses on every track that gets performed on this show. Alright, maybe not every track, thats a lot of verses.

  34. Also. I love America. Where else you gonna have some VA former drug dealers rapping on national TV to a whole bunch of educated white folk about slanging crack. The whole juxtaposition of jimmy fallon and white girls and Coke Rap and national fucking tv is awesome.
