When rap music began
Most people saw it as a fad, like hula-hoops or pet rocks
Each of the band members will begin to see if years of hard work
Will pay off
We would go behind the scenes, through the hopes and frustrations
Of a young band trying to make it in the music business
See coming from a hip hop standpoint, there are no drummers
Also, the relationship between the group and the record companies Will be tested
Totally artistic, totally vehicle, incredible, um, kinda all the dynamics
That people really haven't seen before
That just really struck me
I can see peoples faces changing, the longer they played
Particularly when they started playing, the old school jams and everything
My brothers and sisters, I present to you Live and direct from Philly My people
Are treated as though they are disposable
They're not maximized as product
You know, not to mention as artists
The Roots
