Da Brakes Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Who else thinks that the video for 'What They Do' by The Roots is one of their favs? It definitely is for me! For those that haven't seen it, they basically do a satire for all the cliche things that you see in rap videos! Its really quite funny and the song is awesome as well. If you haven't already seen it then check it out here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?search=What+T...7&v=jUNeswlfGBo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinJack AJ Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I've always loved The Roots...but "What They Do" waz the song that made me a big fan of them.

TopDawg14 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I've always loved The Roots...but "What They Do" waz the song that made me a big fan of them. I got the CD single That song and video was what made me a Roots fan. It's a classic diss video. It totally made the "mainstream" rap industry look really foolish.

Angel Amor Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I love that video. I actually only saw that vid twice...once on VH1's Top 40 greatest rap songs or something like that and BET's Top 25 funny vids wit Nick Cannon. Its a great vid. It also made me a fan of their music. :2thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Tiger Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 It's weird, I was watching some Roots videos on their website a while back. They had this video, but it was missing all the captions that help make it funny. God Blessa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
