No
If know one cares about their bandand their songs outside of core fans
They not mainstream
Break You Off was a hit? I only saw the video a couple of times, and never heard it on the radio here.
You Got Me, okay, but that would their "one hit wonder" track. Even then. that ish still was aimed at backpackers. It had non-prime Erykah Badu.
Even with Fallon, they are still the band for people that say they like hip-hop but don't know any songs.

You got me was a pretty big song. Also have you ever been to a Roots concert? That shyt is like 90% white 5% asian and 5% cornball brother.
All those college tours they did during the early 2000s paid off.

They have 5 songs that were top 100 on billboard. You got me was Top 40.

That's upper echelon
No they weren't. What They Do was top 34 song on billboard. Not rap or r&b but Billboard period.
