The legendary Roots need no introduction. Here is a brief one nonetheless: Formed in the late 80s in Philadelphia, ?uestlove, Black Thought and the Roots crew have been ignoring the boundaries of black music for 2 decades. Renowned for revolutionizing the sound of hip hop within the live context, their 8 studio albums have been equally iconoclastic, re-inventing their sound at every opportunity. Check What They Do, You Got Me with the lovely Lady Badu or the rock joint The Seed for aural proof. Have a listen to their Fireside Chat and get to the bottom of what it is that makes the Roots what they are - one of the most important bands in hip hops modern history. You got them?
