“I definitely enjoy performing on stage with The Roots.” — Black Thought Quote

I definitely enjoy performing on stage with The Roots.

The Roots brand is like the Lipton of hip-hop, so to speak.

Something that is funny, that I use sometimes if I'm doing comedy, is the fact that I'm now often mistaken for the rapper Rick Ross. And I don't know that I've ever corrected anyone - like I've never said, 'No no, I'm not Rick Ross, I'm Black Thought from The Roots.'

I've always sort of listened to news radio.

I don't know that Dilla was the father of neo-soul as much as he was highly influential in that time when he was doing what he was doing at his best... Dilla's influence transcended genre and it transcended region.

I'm still true to my Southern roots.

When you start a band like we did - we started with pretty pop-punk roots - the whole plan is to get out of the whole town and to make something of yourself.

All my roots are still in the prarie country of the Middle West.

I want to keep my roots in Hollywood.

I already visited Rwanda when I was five, but I don't really remember my roots.
