I don't other than it proves my point. When the group posts pictures showing their fans and the majority of those fans are as i described, then who's wrong? Me and the roots or you? I think the roots and i seem to agree. :lick:
You don't care about what "fans" look like for a certain rap group (like that has anything to do with the music), yet you spend a whole post describing your "stereotypical" Roots fan, at least in your eyes, and start posting pics to show how "soft" and "Bohemian" they are because they have a few white fans with dreads and how they are the only people who can feel the group. Oookay there. As for your last statement, I'm with you on that one.

Actually, make that 2 whole threads describing "fans".

"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."

Whoa hold on there slick, who said anything about mandatory whiteness??? At least half the pictures i posted were with people of color. And when did i ever even mention skin color? You're trying to take this into places it doesn't even belong. Give it up, you're wrong. The roots agree with me. I told you:

You're done for the night!

WTF? When did I ever say anything about mandatory whiteness? I said "a few" white fans. Sorry if I didn't comment on the other 10 million pics you posted in a desperate attempt to prove your point. It seems like you're the one that's done for the night, so get some sleep and you might wake up thinking clearer.

@coldblooded- just give it up ...your wrong!!!!! . I have been to more roots concerts than I have fingers and toes and it's pretty amazing out of the hole crowd there are like 4 or 5 people that are dreaded and whatever stereotype you mentioned........and I didnt only go to concerts in my hometown. maybe you should stop relying on dam photos that were just randomly shot and see for your self!!!!!

I definitely dig The Roots and their whole style.

Part of the reason that I do like them is because they can appeal to a wide variety of audiences.

Not sure what the whole Jay-Z Unplugged was supposed to prove.....I think The Roots will prolly show love to any Hip Hop artist who gets a spot on Unplugged and doesn't necessarily already have a band for the whole live atomosphere.

But like any other artist, some people are gonna feel them, some people ain't.
