Exactly. This is what bothered me. Nobody (well except maybe Jehan) was talking about The Roots output after Fallon. If they were to come out saying they didn't like the music the Roots have put out since being on Fallon, THAT'S a conversation to have. But to say that doing The Tonight Show is getting in the way of what the Roots do without talking about what they've done is short sighted.

Did they not like undun? How I Got Over (not sure if this was pre or post Fallon)?
The project w/ Elvis Costello?
The project w/ John Legend?

The latter two projects essentially happened BECAUSE of Fallon. And I'm of the belief that they're time on Fallon has allowed them more freedom for their music.
