in his blog, ?uest apologized for the show. Even he knows it didn't go well.

?uest hyped the special guests as huge names, bigger than the announced names (Nas, Kweli, Common)... And I'm sure the big guests were supposed to go, but renegged (Kanye and Jay anyone?)

Skillz, Truck North, Maimouna, Rahzel, and Kane, although all dope, are not SPECIAL for Roots standards... they pop up at random Roots shows, somewhat often.
