Black Thought & Questlove of The Roots sat down with Ebro in the Morning to have a great conversation about The Roots legacy, their role on The Tonight Show, and more.
Based on their new show ‘Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America’, we had a conversation on the rise of religious rap including the impact of Kanye West’s single “Jesus Walks,” hip hop’s flow into the mainstream with Run DMC’s collaboration with Aerosmith, and their single “Rock Box,” Jay-Z’s legacy, including a debate on what his biggest single today is, and more.
Questlove also shares a rare story about a jam session with Prince.
Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America airs Sundays on AMC.
