Cam’ron’s no-show was our gain when the Clipse performed on The Roots’ Variey Show Jimmy Fallon Show. Draped in a Play Clothes varsity, “the best duo ever” (Pusha’s words, not mine) became a trio for the night with Black Thought filling in for Killa. Maybe I had the video too small, but I didn’t even know it was Black until he opened his mouth, I just assumed he took the opportunity to grab a drink of water or something.
And after the tapes stopped rolling, they perforemed “Grindin’” with Thought once again throwing in a verse for good measure.
On the real, can The Roots get a variety show or something NBC? Think something similar to The Sonny & Cher or Flip Wilson Show. Sliding comedians and musicians in and out has some potential. At the least, it couldn’t do any worse than Fallon or Leno’s shows.

LOL @ Questlove in the bleachers in the back during “Grindin”

black thought is one of the illest period. the guy everybody’s afraid to do a song with
black thought’s unreleased album is coming
new Roots album on the way too
black thought is working guud!!!
gaaaaaaat damn, I was trying to stay up to watch this bitch and my ass was nodding off, gotta catch the rerun but this will do for now.
new Roots and new Thought might be the only 2 albums I’m checkin’ 4 in 2010… Okay that and SADE’s.
Clipse become the best hiphop duo the second after they apply their gift of gab to topics bigger than dope. They’re smart enuff to do it for a whole album. I wish they’d try it. even for a mixtape.
