About The Legendary, here is a mini-doc.

The Roots “The Fire” feat John Legend

Good looking to Kenji for finding this (before I did).

Taken from Kenji’s blog

The Fire” chronicles a post-apocalyptic death march set in 1945 during the final stages of World War II in Europe. After a cataclysmic event renders the war futile, a paramilitary splinter group — led by a Kurtz-like figure known as The Commodore — forces the transfer of young men who will be used as labor…and food. The last survivor of the march receives a mysterious White Box which holds the key to survival. – Rik

About video trailers, The Roots “The Fire”…

I got a record player for my birthday from the Wondaland fam. It is portable and sexy. My first three pieces of vinyl? The Miseducation, The Archandroid, and How I Got Over.

This album sounds INCREDIBLE on vinyl by the way. Looking forward to this full video.

Dear God 2.0

From Benny

Subject line: “What I think you’re thinking.”

“I thought you should know that if you’re thinking about taking the instrumental from Dear God 2.0 and turning it into Dear God from 2.0 I think you’re thinking the right thought. If you hadn’t thought about it you should consider it, it’s worth thinking through.”

He was right. Standby.

The Roots feat. Janelle Monáe

First of all Black Thought is…

So let me set the scene for you. The W.A.S. were in town for a show on Governor’s Island with Ms. Erykah Badu. Shortly thereafter, JM teleports over just in time to get on stage with The Legendary and drop a verse.

Possibly the best combination since chittlins and hotsauce! (try it)
