By choice. They knew having a everyday gig could keep them home and off the road touring 300+ days a year. They still put out albums so it's not like they are "JUST" a house band.


As for What They Do. It's the first Roots song I ever heard and an all-time classic to me.

Hating, or telling the truth..dope track regardless

Always thought it was hilarious. Don't really see how they're haters, a lot of these rappers do front in videos with shyt they don't own and lifestyles they don't live.

Black Thought can say what he wants, been in the game 20+ years and is still killing tracks:
