The Roots are one of the few rap bands that are actually better live than in-studio. Jay-Z knew it when he recorded his unplugged set, and if you’ve never had the pleasure, you can find out for yourself today.
As always, a few tastes and a zip.

thanks for the up. I have a sort of rare 5 or 6 song live ep by them — The Legendary EP — and I thought it was okay…maybe it was too short. I’ll definitely give this one a listen.
