You've already seen The Roots latest video "How I Got Over," and come up with your own interpretations of the visuals. Now go behind the scenes with Black Thought, ?uestlove, Dice Raw, and BBGUN, live from Bushwick Brooklyn where the vid was shot. Watch as they bring the video to life and give us commentary on the elements you see in the final product. How I Got Over is currently slated for a February 2010 release.
It's time to start visualizing exactly how The Roots got over. Here is the video for the title track off of The Roots' upcoming LP, How I Got Over. The BBGUN directed vid features Black Thought 'out in the streets' of a down trodden NY witnessing the ills of the city (cameos by ?uesto and Dice Raw). Get excited people, HIGO is coming soon.
While inside sources tell us that they haven't turned the album in yet, The Roots' How I Got Over has a November 17th street date. They did, however, already shoot a video for the first single and title track "How I Got Over" with BBGUN. Here's a teaser. We'll release the full video tonight or Thursday. The Roots are busy preparing for tonight's VH1 Hip Hop Honors where Black Thought and a certain rapper from Detroit will open the show with a tribute to LL Cool J's classic "Rock The Bells." This year's HHH celebrates Def Jam's 25 year anniversary.
