Hip Hop + Art: The Roots

Two weeks ago on this day, I was in Toronto watching the best live act on earth in concert. The Roots, who I haven’t seen in about 2 years blew everyone’s mind. There wasn’t a second that wasted from all the James Brown covers to ?uestlove dancing. I didn’t bother to bring in a camera because no photo taken with my shaky/tired hands would do justice and looking at my camera phone pictures you can’t even tell that I was at the concert. This made me think of them as the perfect candidate for: Hip Hop + Art entry.

The following two I couldn’t embed into the post but defiantly deserved a mention.
