Slow JamRemix the News with Jimmy and The Roots (f/ Diddy)



Don't believe a word of what you've heard about "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" (assuming what you've heard is that it's awful). It's pretty funny.

Admittedly, it did suck for the first month, but I think Jimmy is finding his bearings. I actually watched a whole episode last week and laughed pretty much all the way through.

Anyway, Diddy was a guest yesterday and helped out with a regular segment called "Slow Jam the News". The clip will say it all.

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Black Thought of the Roots in XXL Magazine:

“The new record is well underway—right now, it’s about completed,” said Black Thought. Arriving amidst the band’s touring hiatus,
How I Got Over will reflect The Roots ascension in the mainstream as house band on NBC’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. “It’s a more celebratory album—the story of triumph and the rise of the brand that is ‘The Roots,’ and how we kept our heads above water consistently for so many years in the game without taking a hiatus, maintaining some love and relevancy for all this time,” said The Roots’ lead MC. “And it refers to the gospel song by Mahalia Jackson. That’s the initial inspiration for the title of this joint. It’s like a moving performance of her rendition of that song.”

“We recorded some stuff right there on set, working in our little dressing room or whatever—just getting it in where we fit in, so to speak,” he said. “We record sometimes after we tape a show for the night—we just hit the studio.”
