  • Wale & The Roots -- Pretty Girls Wale & The Roots — Pretty Girls

    Wale gives me hope for the future of hiphop.

  • The Roots Back Up Christopher Cross :: Sailing

    If you walked up to me 10 years ago and said 'Yo, The Roots are gonna play "Sailing" with Christopher Cross tonight.' -- I'd be confused as all hell. Gotta tell ya what, I still am.
