Here’s more footage of The Roots’ show at the Highline Ballroom. I’m kicking myself in the skullcap for not being there while these are going down. Props to Phalary.

If the names up there don’t entice you to check out the video, I don’t know what to say. Speaking of The Roots though, last night they were inaugurated into the Highline Ballroom in NYC (in which they will be residing through June). For those that weren’t able to attend (like myself) we get some shaky footage. Above you can check out Black Thought & Talib Kweli killing it. After the jump John Forte, Pharoahe Monch & Dice Raw joint in on the fun…

Browsing the internets on this slower than molasses Tuesday morning I see that OKP has put up a new Dice Raw joint. Dope. D.R.’s been doing it for over 14 years now. Runnin with the Roots crew since ‘94. And according to dantana there’s atleast 75 unreleased joints chillin. I wonder if those will ever come out. I need some more Nouveau Riche though!
