The Roots & Nas - The Roots Picnic 2011

Here's live recording of The Roots at their annual "Roots Picnic". Last year featured DJ Jazzy Jeff (Here) collaborating with The Roots now this year they had Nas put in appearance on the mic. I wouldn't call this The Roots best performance but Nas did put on a good show.

Also what the hell happened to Black Thought? (Here). That man have gained some serious weight!!

DJ jazzy Jeff and Questlove - The Roots Picnic Mix

In Philadelphia the hometown of The Roots at the annual The Roots Picnic for the first time ever there was a live performance featuring drummer/producer ?uestlove & DJ Jazzy Jeff. The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff  rocks samples and classic Hip Hop while ?uestlove plays some funky drums with Mad Skillz on mic. Similar to Bobo Meets Rhettmatic that was released a few months ago. This mix is definitely one for the your archives. No tracklisting but I think most will know the names of all tunes played.
