Innovators in rap and hip-hop, The Roots began focusing on live instrumentation in recordings and concerts in 1987 when rapper Black Thought (Tariq Trotter) and drummer ?uestlove (Ahmir Khalib Thompson) met at the Philadelphia High School for Creative Performing Arts. Forsaking the usual hip-hop protocol, The Roots' produced its first major-label album,Do You Want More?!!!??!  (1995), without any samples or previously recorded material, and made a name for itself by defying genres and conventions.  The group is known for its complex and politically aware lyrical content ranging from violence and its consequences to the crime, poverty, guns and drug culture plaguing its hometown of Philadelphia. As of 2009, The Roots are the house band for Jimmy Fallon's new NBC late night talk show.

    I tried to go to the Roots show last week at Highline Ballroom and had an epileptic seizure due to the strobe lights, forcing me to leave the show. I love the Roots! and I was heartbroken upon having to leave! I want to try again.

    The Roots are the truth. How I Got Over is unbelievably transcendent.
