A lot of talk went on in the comments yesterday about "real hip hop" vs. the stuff Oprah and Bill Cosby listen to and judge, and I thought I would post one of my faves from the talented, long-lasting, well-known, yet widely-ignored Roots, 1995's "Proceed." Black Thought is kind of ageless, isn't he? I can't say the same for ?uestlove, who looks like a baby in this video.
Wonderful. Just lovely.
Seriouly though…I try to turn every non-listener of rap into a listner of rap by hipping them to The Roots. More often than not, it works. They are great live, too.
Thanks- I neede that!
