Q-Tip - "Barely In Love" [LIVE]

The Abstract rocks a live performance on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon. It must be nice to have the Roots back you. Yo, the best part of this video is homie from Bones sneaking a swig from his bottle on national TV. Peep intro. Classic.

Beastie Boys x The Roots.

Ad Rock, MCA and Mike D were on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon last night, and you know what happens when rappers appear on that show, right? Hopefully you've been paying attention thus far. The Brooklyn trio perform "So Watcha Want" live with the Roots backing them. This is butter. These guys are older than some of your parents and are STILL killin it.

The Beastie Boys also announced that their upcoming album, the first since 2007’s instrumental effort The Mix-Up, will be titled Hot Sauce Committee. The trio, which has a slew of festival dates lined up this summer, appeared on Jimmy Fallon last night to talk Hot Sauce and the Check Your Head rerelease. They also mentioned that Hot Sauce will be out sometime in September and that parts of the album were recorded on a submarine inside Paul Allen’s yacht. Now that's jiggy.

Rick Ross + The Roots on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon.

The Roots can make anybody sound dope. I'm convinced of that. They're the best thing to happen to late nights since Skinemax and the Subway that's open 24 hours a day by my pad.

The Bawse performs "Magnificent" as Black Thought and Captain Kirk fill in vocals for John Legend's part.

Public Enemy + The Roots on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Jimmy Fallon is the late night king of Hip Hop acts. Anytime you can have the Roots backing you as your band, it's automatically going to be incredible. Whoever decided to hire the Roots as the house band needs a raise. Check out the legendary Public Enemy as they perform "Bring the Noise" live on Jimmy Fallon's show last night on Flavor Flav's birthday.

"Once again, back it's the incredible."

Ludacris + The Roots on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon

Ok, this is dope. Jimmy Fallon's show is automatically going to be the most hip hop late night show, just on the strength of The Roots. And it's going to be really fresh if they perform with every musician on the show. They might be on to something here.

Last night, Luda performed "Last Of a Dying Breed" and "And I Do It For Hip Hop" and it sounds pretty good if I do say so myself.

The Roots and Jimmy Fallon "Slow Jam The News"

As you may or may not have know, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon debuted last night on NBC. As you may or may not know, the Roots are Jimmy's house band. Here's a nice little segment they did called "Slow Jam the News." Because everyone sounds better when you have backup singers.

Jimmy Fallon Has the Greatest House Band Of All Time.

It looks like the he rumors were true. I just gained some respect for Jimmy Fallon and NBC. Late night TV + Hip Hop = Freshness.


Jimmy Fallon's Late Night show starts March 3rd.
