Hip Hop's great cover band.
I'll pass on the album, just like the rest.
And they really ain't that hot live compared to many other artists i've seen. Like i said, they're just Hip Hop's great cover band these days.
I don't know maybe i'm not Bohemian enough to get into them, maybe if i grew some dreads, bought some expensive ass clothes that, despite the price, look like i picked em up at good will, doused myself in patchouli, and converted to a raw food diet i'd be able to dig the roots.
Or maybe not

Some dirty hippies get offended?
Maybe it doesn't apply to all of you or maybe it hit too close to home, but sorry to say the majority of roots fans these days are metrosexuals and/or Bohemians following whatever Talib Kweli/Common/*insert name of someone else who fucked Erika Badu* trend.
Drunken Monkey wearing, Von Dutch trucker hat sporting, pabst blue ribbon drinking hipster = current prerequisite to be a roots fan.
Since before doing this:
Yes, I assumed that was implied when I said:
A good 1/3 to ½ of their show was covers of someone else’s material either in its entirety or as a medley.
