The Roots members are next up on Dee Vazquez‘s PROFILE series. Also, hit the jump for the trailer to this year’s Roots Picnic.
Missed the show? Wish you were still there? Reminisce with Okayplayer as we highlight some of our favorite moments, as caught by the talent at Creative Control.
Spotted at NahRight.
Black Thought has a great voice.
But I already knew that.
Quest Love look like a Pear!…Hes cool tho.
Quest is built like a snowman.
This was a great video, very personal.
honesty at it’s best.
okayplayer these profiles really show what kinda real people these artist and industry tikes are like…
Nice video. But is it just me, or is ole girl voice sexy as hell???
wow. that was really interesting.
Interviewer-”What do you think of when you hear the word ‘sword’?”
BT-”You know….Pause”
*DEAD*
Get with the program kids! How I Got Over > Recovery+Thank Me Later
^^^^^
Dudue are you serious! I love the roots but the new record can’t compare to Recovery not by a long shot! Cmon man? Drake album was ok but really the styles of music is different between the three. SOMEONE GOTTA CHANGE THAT SCREEN SHOT OF QUEST!!!!! It s not doin him any favors
“Where your favorite place to eat a meal?” as opposed to what?…fuckin’ a meal? Smokin’ a meal? Snortin’ a meal?
WTF?!
How I Got Over is such an awesome album, I’m so pleased wiht it. Recovery is a great album too.
Great interview
But yeah her voice is hella sexy!
This shit right here is exactly why the Roots–regardless of making ridiculously good music–will never get any bigger than they are. These dudes actually have negative charisma. I mean ?uest is trying to be funny there, but good lord, dude is just so dull. At least ‘Riq is just trying to be straight and honest for the most part, so his lack of personality is kind of due to that, but c’mon, this dude ?uest…
No hate on these guys at all. I love the Roots, bought every album (and I never even buy albums), but you gotta realize they’re holding themselves back with this lack of personality in interviews and shit.
@Skallywag – You obviously know as much as you think about The Roots if you think that they are not already popular on a global scale. These dudes have fans of all races and nationalities from touring places that even the most popular artists have never toured before.
