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.

50 Cent was just on Hot97 a day or two back, sounding real mature and business like I gotta admit. He covered the allegations of Tony Yayo beating up Jimmy Henchman’s kid. It sounds like the man is trying to take G-Unit in a new different direction. ML’s favorite Young Buck might not be a part of the plans, although it wasn’t clear, likening Buck to The Game, doesn’t signal a bright future for him as a G-Unit soldier. I wouldn’t be too worried for Buck I think he can pull his own weight.
