The Roots - Late Night [MIX]

It seemed a bit odd - The Roots turn into the house band for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Numerous post on my blog later, I can look back and find that The Roots constantly delivered outstanding live performances on American television. 2dopeboyz posted this mixtape compiling the band’s best performance clips from the TV show with Ludacris, Clipse, Wale, Q-Tip, Raekwon, Black Star, Public Enemy and many more. (Even got the latest Clipse appearance on it!!)
