Be sure to check out Jimmy Fallon‘s awful Biggie [...]

The Roots + John Legend :: The Fire (video)

If there’s one thing I love more than my future husband, John Legend, it’s The Roots.  Since working together, the band and song master have created a full length album, Wake Up,  which is scheduled to drop in September. One of the absolute best tracks on The Roots‘s ninth full length album is The Fire [...]

Big Boi + The Roots :: Shutterbug (live)

One of the absolute best things about The Roots being on Jimmy Fallon‘s late night show is the potential for collaboration during live performances.  Big Boi‘s appearance on the show earlier this week is no different.  In fact, the show would probably benefit from dropping Fallon all together…. In fact, one idea – Outkast shout [...]

Diddy + Jimmy Fallon :: slow jam news remix with The Roots

Quite frankly, I am completely unimpressed by Jimmy Fallon‘s late night show which launched in March.  Jimmy’s only saving grace, in my humble opinion, has been The Roots, and his writers need to be pink slipped with a quickness.  While Fallon was somewhat successful during his SNL stunts, the dialogue within his late show seems [...]
