?uest and his music politician status has given this band connects that reach across the entire industry.

Try and stump Okayartist with a band, a hip hop group, an emcee, or some other musical artist that *can't* be connected to The Roots in 6 degrees or less...

Can be done in 2 steps.

Waylon Jennings?

Murphy Lee---JD-----Jay-Z-----The Roots

OK not 2 steps but the best I could do

I was thinkin the Beanie Sigel "Roc the Mic (remix)" connection, but that works too

Slim Dusty - Australian country singer. If there are any connections I'll swallow my pride and not pre-judge Bush's next policy announcement.

I got it in 7 degrees. Might be possible in 6, but here it is:

Slim Dusty worked with Tommy Cash, who is brothers with Johnny Cash, who covered Trent Reznor's song "Hurt". Marilyn Manson appeared in a video with Trent Reznor, and also appeared in a video with Eminem, who performed "Lose Yourself" at the Grammys with... The Roots.

slim dusty > tommy cash > Johnny cash > trent reznor > marilyn manson > eminem > the roots

What's funny is that I'm getting paid for this lol

yea, i bet u are

I love it when random lurkers come out the woodwork for no apparent reason.

Pretty impressive! It's a smaller world than I thought.

johnny worked with rick rubin
rubin & jay-z on the black album
jigga unplugged with the roots

and there you have it

(it can be done)

craig mack>puffy>shaq in puffy video>shaq 'beef' with skillz>TTP

craig mack > biggie > jay-z > the roots

and common

who cares. that nigga cant rap worth shit anyways.

Roots --> Billie Holiday in 4 steps.

Billy Holiday recorded with Benny Carter

*No "In-The-Video" Connections"
*Only include actualy collabos and tours together, not family members of friends*

anyone agree? You gotta make it challenging. That Kevin Bacon shit only worked with movies people were in together, right?

No, I think the Kevin Bacon thing was any connection just like folks are doing.

I think....Sublime toured w/RHCP, who worked w/Rick Rubin, who worked w/Jay-Z, who worked w/.....The Roots.

Sublime > Snoop Dogg (Summertime remix) > Dre > Storch > The Roots

sublime -> pharcyde -> dilla -> roots

to The Roots in 6 or less

Kotter > John Travolta > Quentin Tarentino > RZA > Beanie Sigel > The Roots

but I guess that works too.

The Roots were in Bamboozled with Michael Rappaport, who was in Beautiful Girls with Uma Thurman, who was in Pulp Fiction with John Travlota, who coincidently was a Sweat Hog.

I'll drop a hint if you need it.

Richard Nixon was on Bob Hope's 90th bday celebration with Paula Abdul who is on American Idol with Randy Jackson who has worked with Destiny's Child who's lead member Beyonce is dating Jay-Z who The Roots performed with on MTV Unplugged.

Nixon>Paula Abdul>Randy Jackson>Beyonce>Jay-Z>The Roots

or

Nixon>Abdul>Jackson>MCA>Roots
