"Is Kamal really worth anything to The Roots anymore?"


  

          

(no hate, serious discussion here)

listening to the song of Bilal on ?uestlove's myspace page I thinking that this was the best damn shit I heard Kamal play

but

i found out that wasnt Kamal on keys (damn!)

then i realized that Kamal doesn't bring much to the table for live shows are concerned

?uesto & Knuckles, Hub, Captain Kirk have incredible solos

Kamals hip hop 101 is nice and all, but it doesnt really fit into the roots setlist since it makes it redudant with covers (keys for the time for when they are not soloing are easily replaceable, so im not counting that)

but

he did killed it on the gilles peterson compliation double album

thats my $0.02
