Daily Jam - You Got Me

There was a time when The Roots were much more than the house band for late night idiot.  And while i can hardly blame them for taking the regular paycheck, i miss the days when they felt like the most relevant artists in hip-hop.  Anyway, here's the Erykah Badu assisted "You Got Me," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - The Seed 2.0

There was a time when The Roots were the most exciting thing in hip-hop, a kind of funk and soul and hip-hop collective full of amazing musicians making boundary breaking music.  It wasn't to last, the industry moving in different directions for better or worse, but those first few albums from the group still kick ass, so much so, that i can almost get over them being on Fallon's show.  Anyway, from 2002's "Phrenology," here's the Cody ChesnuTT assisted "The Seed 2.0," a sexy soul jammer that's worked its way into many a playlist.  Your Daily Jam...
