MoF on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Wed (11.4.09)

[buymycar]

Sorry Sweatboard, but I thought it was awesome.  The Roots are one of my favorite hip-hop bands (contrary to popular belief, their music is definitely not rap), and I think they always add a new flavor to whatever they play on.  They added a whole new funk to JAy-Z's entire catalog between unplugged and his final performance tour (before his premature retirement).  You just have to look at it in a different light.  It's like saying the MOF is not jacket even though Jim is there.  That's just my opinion though.

The Roots aren't Rap??? If they're not a Hip-Hop troupe, than what are they?  Explain.  

I called them hip-hop, not rap.  I differentiate the two.

So what's your definition of the two terms?  I'm just curious, since I've heard that hip hop is the culture and rap is the music of said culture.
