  6. I didn't know til the other day that John Legend and the Roots did a record together in 2010 with their versions of some classic soul songs and such - including this Curtis Mayfield song 'Hard Times'. What a GROOVE. This is a live studio version. Just wow.

  11. Hier übrigens ein Music-Video (obacht: YouTube), dass mich immer wieder voll in den Positiv-Grinse-Modus katapultiert:

    youtube.com/watch?v=-yL7VP4-kP4

    So viele coole Leute in einem kleinen Raum, und diese Version vom "Hello" finde ich sogar besser als das Original 😂☏

  12. Easily overlooked among end-of-year album releases is this new live record from The Roots, doing the bulk of their DYWM album (as part of its anniversary).

    Super solid. It was recorded live shortly after Roy Ayers passing and they include an instrumental tribute + a live version of Proceed 2, which Ayers guested on (and which I've never heard a live version of, I don't think)

    The real white whale here is a live Distortion to Static!!! And it's excellent, along with a Rahzel-supported, Dice-featuring "The Lesson" that is slamming.

    But we also get live versions of a good number of tunes from Illadelph Half life, including Section and Respond/React.

    Great release all around. Not a lot of contenders for "best live hip hop album ever" but this is a strong contender.

  13. G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up – 5/22/25

    I revisit a classic album by The Roots.

    Favorite Videos include a K-Pop stage compilation from Again Playlist, and 4 music videos.

  14. Well, I spoke too soon. Another one I can't believe I missed last year. And it is 🔥

    I love The Roots and Black Thought is one of the greatest rappers to ever walk Earth, so this record he did with El Michels Affair shoulda been a no-brainer. It came out just 10 days after my birthday last year and I somehow heard NOTHING about it until a couple days ago. #NowPlaying
