Late Night with The Roots (Mixtape)

I will admit, when I heard that The Roots where going to serve as the house band for the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show I was a little skeptic. I didn't know if it was a good move for what I and many others feel is the greatest band in hip hop. I didn't want them to be looked at as washed up or selling out to work for the man. I felt that my favorite hip hop band was too good to have to play intros and outros for guest and commercial breaks. Then I had to realize that for all of the incredible albums they have put out, they never recieved the proper fruits for their labor and most of their money was made from what seemed to be endless touring. I understood that this was a great opportunity for them to finally be able to be settled in one place, make some great money, and reach an audience that undoubtly had no idea who they where. On top of that we get to see Black Thought out shine other guest MC's repeatedly. Last night Jimmy Fallon's musical guest was The Clipse. They performed "Back by popular Demand". Since Camron wasn't their, Black Thought filled in and delivered a performance that made you wish that there was an official release.......Guess what I found today???????
