"Why doesnt Kirk sing lead?"


  

          

so.....I see that Raheem Devaughn got a song and a half on the Roots last album.....which brings them back to using more male singers. why not lead? I think that even extends the Roots audience if they have a regular singer. I know that BT can sing a little but he doesnt do it much on Tonight Show or on the albums anymore.......am I missing something? I have wondered that since he sung the U2 tribute at Essence awards a few yrs back.

Dice is more hit than miss, but not by much. For the first time in years, the roots have released an album with a song that i dont like and its that Black Rock shit on the last album. what was he singing?

dice is kinda like shane macgowan in that he doesn't necessarily have a great singing voice, but he makes it work. sometimes i wish they would just bring in a singer for live shows but that doesn't happen often unless they have a special guess.

I've seen Roots live 3 times with him and he's exceptional. I'd love some solo stuff from him!

No solo stuff. Sorry, Kirk, I want you to stay in The Roots and solo records ruin everything. LOL.

but he is such an incredible talent I really would like to see/hear more from him. People have said he doesn't have the best voice but seeing what he does to a live crowd with his guitar, voice and overall charisma, I do believe he could be massive in his own right!
(I would like to enforce the fact that I definitely do not want a split though!)

Because the band and the crew that makes the albums/records are not one in the same.

i dont see why it cant happen.


the roots have to believe that he can sing if they

A) are going to have him sing in front of u2 for u2
b) are going to let him sing You Got Me


but at the same time, they could have saved some loot getting him to sing all of the male hooks over the years . i dunno.
