I love The Roots, I am a big hip hop fan who listens to what many call "conscious" rap, hear ?uestlove pontificate on the plight of black hip hop artists was real to me. As a black man hip hop and the turn it has taken worries me deeply b/c the medium can be so useful for explaining the world around us( for better or for worse) Thanks BPP!
