The Roots' "You Got Me" live w/ Jill Scott from MTV2's $2 Bill Show (at the 9:30 Club DC, July 2002) 11 minutes of middle eastern tinged progrock... strangest version i've ever heard of this song |

I think this "quote" located at the bottom of their website is quite humorous. "I been at your show there ain't no way to cut your flow off You got to be the illest emcee that people know of word" - Black Thought Wow! How deep and thought-provoking. Showing so much intelligence coming up with something like that. |

I'm going to download it later. I've had to go back to using shitty dial-up, so it'll take forever to download. I do want to hear the song though. And I wasn't really talking shit. I just think it's funny that out of everything they could have possibly said, they choose something mindless and pathetically unoriginal like that. Hell, about 80% of all the rap songs I've ever heard basically say something along those lines. It's just worded slightly differently. And don't you think comparing them to Tool is going a little overboard. Not trying to start shit or anything, but come on. |

i don't think it's a mindless quote. i wouldn't have picked it; it's a bit cliche and standard, and if you were more familiar with the roots (especially black thought, the lyricist) you'd know that there really are a lot more thoughtprovoking quotes that the webmaster could've chosen. but i guess it's a line he likes a lot; it does give a sort of "the roots are the best" impression that i can't blame him for wanting to allign his webpage with. and for what it's worth, the roots do have a reputation for being one of the very finest hip-hop outfits of all time, and black thought certainly backs up every claim he makes about his skill. but most of his songs are about specific things, not just boasting, so i must agree it's not the most interesting lyric, especially for a newcomer to the roots. wait till you hear the mo3 though, you'll hear why i mentioned tool. not saying that it has power chords like adam jones, but tool was just a quick and easy to understand comparison for people here. |

no problem. the rest of the site is great too. my favorites that are online right now are the live versions of "quills" and "act too (love of my life)". i wouldn't say any of the other songs are QUITE as rearranged as this version of "you got me" but the roots are famous for changing things up quite a lot. |

no it's nothing to do with tool to be honest, it just has that dirge-y, psychedelic feel to it. jill sounds like a pharoahess or black panther on this joint. theo: i've seen them do punk rock and disco versions of this song before but this is pretty bizarre.. |
