'What They Do' - The Roots


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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:
