the roots show i was at recently didn't look all that different from a fall out boy show, except the pants that all the white folks wore were marginally baggier. and that was at the apollo!

@dan13l: You know you're right. Think of how cool it would be to go to a Roots show and be surrounded by Fall Out Boy fans. At least, the ones old enough to get in. Sounds like bliss to me.

"the Roots' milquetoast albatross Black Thought"?

Did you take a guest blogger slot here after Pitchfork turned you down?

I'd agree that pretty much everything is wrong with this track, but Black Thought's rap isn't what's weighing it down. Blame the vanilla-jam (Bonnareggae?) beat first, and the hook second. Why does Stump have to lead into the beginning of every line with that "mmmm/nnnn" thing?
