The Roots – How I Got Over (Video)

by Staff, October 1, 2009

Steering clear of the dark, edgy tunes featured within their past couple of albums, The Roots offer a much more classic sound in their new video for the track, “How I Got Over”. As always, Black Thought’s unmistakable rhymes soar through the band’s renown live instrumentation. Look for “How I Got Over” to be featured within the Philly band’s upcoming eighth album release by the same name, due out this month.

    Love the instrumentation on this track… I think I like this more than anything on their last album haha. Not sure if it makes up for the fact that they’re dumbass Jimmy Fallon’s house band though… ugh.

    no matter what song The Roots come out with, it will always come out hot (specially when Black Thought is singing on the track)!
