The Roots
Hoewel The Roots geen bijzonder groot succes kenden, heeft de band uit Philadelphia de weg gewezen voor live rap. Ze bouwden op de hiphopbandfilosofie van Stetasonic, die zich richtte op live-instrumentatie tijdens concerten en in de studio. De albums van The Roots waren een beetje inconsistent. De band richtte zich meer op het brengen van grooves dan op het maken van nummers. In de hiphopwereld vind je niet veel betere liveshows dan die van The Roots.© John Bush /TiVo Read more
