Ahhhh... ROOTS TV II - the DVD !!!

http://www.okayplayer.com/films/rootstv2cover.jpg

Now... lemme fill u in.

The DVD runs OVER ONE-HOUR LONG... so settle-in! It's sooo NOT your typical 'go-follow-the-group-with-a-camera' DVD. Nahh! The crew has seriously stepped the game up a notch for your DVD collection. Here we go fam, let's welcome home...

Roots TV II-the DVD !

Among the loads of stuff stored on the DVD, you'll peep some segments like ... "Fashion Minute with ?uestlove"... crazy funny PSA's... how studio sessions can really get with "Ghetto Studios"... also a segment that takes you on the road called "~Driven (Crazy)! Tour Life with The Legendary~"... and muuuuuch more. Dawg, it's OVER AN HOUR long... and THAT's just the VIDEO stuff.

?uestlove actually debated on if one part should be included. He felt it was sooo good to the point that... well... you'll have to hear the funny a$$ audio commentary track by ?uestlove and B.Kyle to hear more.

What-chu-mean by "Oh my gosh... there's a commentary track too!"... of course!!! This is serious! You can Pre-Order your classic copy of the DVD now! (btw, the commentary really is nutz) Hold up... I'm still not done!!!

Thats just the beginin'. There are THREE... 3 photo galleries of over 60-some hi-resolution images never seen before. Some takem by the guys themselves. Aaaand, OKP Wreckk (the-boy-baaaad!) hammered out some really dope Chapter Menu Designs. He raises the stakes for this DVD too. (Peep 'Phrenology' liner notes... "he's the shizznit!"). Aaaaand, talk about a sound track to accompany the jawn... all beats were produced by Kamal (aka 'MalDog') of The Roots. Where do I start about our fam OKP Lexx who designed the DVD cover AND the motion graphics for the ROOTS TV episode intros. Oh... and when you open the package, you'll have EVEN MORE extra goodies!!! Stickers, post-cards, more stickers... man, it's straight FIRE... made just for y'all!!!

Expect a good time with the DVD.

... man what else...? Be sure to cop it.

~~ get it NOW at the OKAYPLAYER TOUR merchandise counter (and get a free 'OKP Records' poster too). See tourdates.

~~ You can ORDER NOW at the OKP store right now!!! You'll get em sooner than ya think!!

~~ Europe? Hold up. Lemme see first. I'm pretty sure it will play in your computers, but UNTIL there is a PAL version, order it AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

~~ YES. I'll be streaming the segments that got omitted. AND I'll explain why when I stream em.

~~ YES. There is profanity. PLENTY.

~~ NO. Umm, just so I don't keep typin 'YES'.

~~ YES. This is a long post, but hell... THE DVD IS HERE ! ! !


much love. HOLLA!

it's finally here!!

will this be available at local stores or just the okp store?

Yo, what happened man? Don't leave me in the dark? Anyway, looks like you've done a good job putting it together, regardless. I'll definitely be copping one.

We are taking things even HIGHER with the project you & I are talking about.

Let's get jumpin on it.

B.Kyle

Good to hear. Keep me updated ok?

i read somewhere that the roots tv vol 1 was on tape only a long time ago. is there any chance that it would get released onto dvd? i just don't feel cool watching tapes no more.

Seriously, will this be re-released.

Can't wait to get this!!
It's for sure going to be worth the wait.

Okayplayer Tour doesnt come to Memphis so how in the hell can I get it? I cant!!!!!

>You'll be able to PRE-ORDER (at some point during the day Friday 4/30)

and when will it start shipping, and will it be available at our favorite DVD spot?

Will it be on sale at the SOB's joint on May 17th?

>play in your computers, but UNTIL there is a PAL version,

our dvd players are smart... they play both formats... so don't let that hold ya up folks!

just like you said too

may 1st

can i pick it up at the office?

finally. i'm ordering mine ASAP today. holy shit...

This joint sounds hot. I dunno if a brother can wait until May 17th to pick it up on the NYC tour stop!

"The real problem with images is that we don't define our images ourselves."
- Rev. Al

i cant find it anywhere on the site.

when will they be shipping?

Am I the only one dissapointed by this? I mean, it sounds nice and I am sure I will get it but it sounds like it is just an expanded version of the Phren DVD extra. I want a FULL CONCERT VIDEO! Can we ever expect this?

>I want a FULL CONCERT VIDEO! Can we ever expect this?

No, Quest is very much against this.

full concert video?
yea, that would be nice i guess, but would not come close to the experiance of a real live roots show

this release has me asking 2 questions ::
its called 2, so does that mean there is another one around somewhere?

and also, is there goign to be any dvd with the music videos?

mtv doesn't play them, and i'm sick of the cheap-ass looking quick-time versions i got now

Just preordered mine!!! Along with Talib's mixtape. Can't wait!!!

I've never seen Roots TV 1. I think I remember it being sold in the store years ago. Anyone know where I can cop one? If someone has one to sell or could make me a copy I would be willing to pay for it or trade for something.

because if so...

Just haaaad to say it!

Wonderful! You already know!

does it have any performances?

to be like 2 different shows.

my shit was waiting by the door

yo that hub shit is funny
and what the fuck is up with that other shit
ya trippin
lol

how much will be put on when y'all cross the border?
i'm tryna decide whether i should order or get it at the merch table

So what I know...

pretty good, pretty damn funny.


My only complaint was the sound in the video at the chicago show ( i think) sounded pretty bad. Coulda used some more live footage also

otherwise good stuff

the fellas in their environment. The inside thing and all. Quest seems like a cool kat in a nerdy kind of way. Kamal seems a bit aggro, but cool. Thought is damn quiet. Kirk is smooth and arty and Hub seems approachable, not the gangsta people prob think he is cause of the way he looks.

I had some issues with the technical end of things, but all in all, cool.

I appreciate Quest's take on the live video vs. live performance thing, but damn, give the people what we want already.

Thanks for the hard work B.

*sorry it's the english major in me...and don't be trying to sunn me on my posts haha*

Anyway saw it over the weekend (wow yall are fast) and I must say I was impressed. The DVD menus were cool; not too PC friendly (PC as in personal computer). It was real cool to hear Kamal speak more than we usually get to hear him. The drum solo kicks if you have some subs on your 'puter...

All and all I wasn't disappointed like that damn Prince Live At The Aladdin Las Vegas dvd butwewontgetintothatnowwillwe?

Guess who's back? ...Slut Rock, June 7th 2004

Hey... whatchit' FOO'

i did those menus.

i noticed the problem on the computer screen, dunno what the deal is tho. they menus look great on tv, but there is some bluring issues on a computer.

its gotta be some compression issue...

They look great on the screen when I'm laying things out, but once it's burned on a disc and shown everything looks soft.

watched it last nite, overall it was great work. Congrats B.Kyle.

- On 5/21/04, the special guest on EAVESDROP will be B. Kyle of Okayplayer. He has a new project out called...Roots TV II - The DVD. There is over an hour's worth of material on this DVD and it's not just a regular behind the scene footage. There are three different photo galleries, audio commentary by ?uestlove and B. Kyle and much much more. All beats on the project were produced by Kamal of The Roots. Be sure to tune in and learn more about the man behind the camera with tons of stories about touring with Okayplayer artists and some future projects he has up his sleeves.

B. KYLE WILL DO A DVD GIVEAWAYS DURING THE SHOW!!!
