does Method Man smoke weed?
did Eminem fall off?
this is the hip hop mysteries thread.
just playing.
GO TO THE SHOW.
if you have never seen the Roots... I might really think you are not hip hop.
:cookiecookie:
(don't mean to sound pretentious, but for real: it's a rite of hip hop passage. The show isn't what it used to be... but that's only relative to themselves. A Roots show in the 90's was a fucking phenomenal experience. Now, it's just a good ass time.)

The Roots are great live because they use real instruments.
Imagine this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hS6wOXTYrQ but like 5 times better and you have the Roots live.

The Roots have always had a reputation for being great live...
I've seen them a few times, and they were good - they give a long performance, which is usually preferable to your average half hour Hip Hop shows...
The more recent shows I've seen of theirs have got a little boring, but they're still better than most...

I've seen them probably 15 times at least. They always throw down for a good show, but they aren't as good as they used to be. Popeye was onto the reason why, they get a little too jamband-esque now for my liking. I want to hear Thought rip shit when I see them, not hear the band play Skynard and Metallica guitar licks.
Even still, you'll be hard pressed to find a better hiphop show.

I can't deny that their live show has gotten a bit monotonous lately, but if you've never seen them then it's definitely worth checking out
