How The Roots 'Got Over' On Jimmy Fallon


Last night The Roots debuted "How I Got Over," the title track from their next album, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and
words cannot express how infreakingcredible their performance was. Just when you think that Hip Hop and music in general can't get any more sketchy and suspect, The Roots swoop in to save the day. With the addition of Dice Raw on vocals and a smoking horn section, the performance was part old school Soul revue, part revival and part James Brown reincarnation. Black Thought channels Brown's energy while spitting thought-provoking lyrics and punctuating his flow with "Can I get some help," which was more of an exclamation than a question. Press play and relive this instant classic below.
