The Roots will be Jimmy Fallon's house band when he takes over Conan's show. That's pretty sweet. It's pretty exciting to think of a such a badass hip hop (and by badass, I mean not gangsta) group getting such a prominent place in mainstream media. (As I write this, the thought that this could be seen as selling out is crossing my mind. But I don't care. The presence of this kind of hip hop in the dominant media culture is way overdue. )
It's funny to me that the Wall Street Journal article in which I first read about this persists in calling Questlove and Black Thought, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Trotter.
Dude, that's so not hip hop.
