>"But there was also an unfortunate amount of filler in the show. The Roots may be the only hip-hop act that would subject its audience to a wonky exhibition by its bassist, or a wonkier (but thankfully shorter) solo by its keyboardist. One frivolous medley shuffled through hip-hop allusions like flash cards: the Incredible Bongo Band, Snoop Dogg, Biz Markie. On the flip side there was nothing frivolous about the guitarist Kirk Douglas singing Bob Dylan’s “Masters of War”; ponderous would be the better word."

oh hell no. yall cover of Masters of War was incredible. i don't even know what filler he's talking about.
