Craig mack flava in ya ear acapella5/27/2023 ![]() The funny shit was that one of my nerdier looking friends, who rocked glasses and had bright ass red hair, had just seen The Roots open up for the Beastie Boys at Nassau Coliseum the year before, and snuck into some VIP area to get Black Thought’s autograph. So all of a sudden, it was me, all my boys from home, and Black fucking Thought, smoking trees together before The Roots show. So my boy, who we affectionately called K-Wet (and still do), grabbed Black Thought and was like, “Yo, you wanna puff this L with us?” And he stepped over and joined our cypher, as we lit up right next to the venue on the sidewalk. Then, as we got to the front door, we saw Black Thought about to walk in. As we turned the corner towards the venue, I spotted Questlove sitting in shotgun of a parked car, playing tracks that were most likely off their upcoming album Illadelph Halflife for the dude in the driver seat. We arrived about a half hour before showtime, and parked a street over from The Knitting Factory. I was personally very excited about the show because I was an enormous fan of The Roots and had never seen them live before. ![]() In August, 1996, a bunch of my boys from White Plains and I went down to see The Roots together in NYC the summer after we graduated from high school, kind of as a last hurrah before going off to college for the fall.
