fuck, ain't that some shit... so they're taking a hiatus from touring for 2 years to do this shit? If there's anything I hate about television it's Oprah, Heroes and late night talk shows.

"The principles of true hip-hop have been forsaken
It's all contractual, and about money making"

roots is the truth. who cares if they do this gig. money talks and those guys have been at it on the road forever. they'll just be recognized and exposed even more. good for them i think.

Kinda sad. Mainly because they will be associated with that cock-knocker Jimmy Fallon.
Happy to hear they are getting some steady paychecks though. Always like them a lot.There was a neat interview on NPR a couple years back with Questlove about how he learned drumming. In school he was frequently asked to be a drummer for young MC's provided he could (ironically) perfectly imitate drum samples and not be a regular drummer, only because no one in the neighborhood could afford turntables.

Yeah, heaven forbid that a band, having paid its dues in full and then some, mature and effect some well-deserved stability and substantial material comfort for itself, thus continuing the further advancement of minority artistic success and mainstream acceptance thereof.
Sellouts.

The Roots are an amazing live band. Maybe they're tired of living on the road — they've been at it forever.
