What Comes After Sunday????


Yes, we here at The Big Gripe are Roots homers. Everyone should be. Anyways, here is the only way this horrible Friday song should ever, ever, ever, ever be heard. Enjoy. I guess file this under cover songs. Also this was a great way for Colbert and Fallon to raise money for charity.

The Roots - How I Got Over

Once again the Roots do it. They consistently put out great records, 20 years in and they are still putting out quality work. You can really tell that the Jimmy Fallon gig has helped the Roots as a band. This album is tight and the band sounds fantastic. Questlove may be the best drummer in hip-hop, his timing is amazing. Excellent guest appearances from Monsters of Folk and John Legend. I hope they keep putting out great music and I hope that Jimmy Fallon keeps on employing them.
