First time seeing a video of the Roots...was Proceed.
I thought the video was wicked - revolving around the guys as they rhyme off. Since the song was 'proceed' and the video had it ... as when one guy finished another took over or 'proceed'ed.
It was on MuchMusic's Rapcity top 100 videos of the year. I remember waking up early in the morning to catch the replay and recording it, from the T.V. to the tapedeck.
First cd was Illa/Half - watching the video and joking about how everyone else had the same themes. Totally agreed, figured lets check them out... and yet have to be disappointed.
then went back to catch DYWM, Organix - which must say was fuck'n expensive, to Legendary, From the Ground up, TFA, and now Phren.
I have wrote before in other messages, the Roots are 'Pink Floyd' of our time and ?uestlove(new Quincy) is gonna produce a shitload of people and most of them will be non-hiphop related.
