I know I put this romantic twist on the busking era of The Roots (we grabbed some pots and pans and *boof!* got a record deal & here we are some near 25 years later!) But those were some trying times in philly: I had a showbiz pedigree but it was only but so far the 50s oldies circuit could take me. Got the education but not the connects. Philly radio was proudly "rap free". We barely had a nightclub that would embrace the culture. So how did the most unlikely outfit from the most unlikely city manage to tortoise & hare its way through this land mine race called entertainment? A lot of stretching the truth. We were ".....a jazz outfit w spoken word" "lyrical poets"---those that know know. "Passing" is nothing new. Lotta code words were used (all you Chapelle heads know the infamous "hello? I've got 5 bla--hello? hello?" bit?---lets just say when the idea of the Roots were pitched to first time club owners we were more likely to say we were #TheAristocrats then we were to reveal that we were a rap group. ("....hello?....hello?) kinda bummed that 2 Philly institutions shut down #NorthstarBar & the 1st philly club to hire us #JCDobbs. Always had this fantasy we'd go under another name & perform at our old stomping grounds one day. Doing shows for $75 bucks, some drink tickets & 10 guests. Really sad to see this go. #Memories #Illadelph.
