The Roots have consistently elevated music and culture as one of the most influential and impactful hip-hop collectives of all time. Founded by Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter and Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, the three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning multiplatinum group went from rapping on Philadelphia corners all the way to gigs at The White House, a longtime stint as the “house band” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and billing atop their own annual festival The Roots Picnic. Among numerous classics, they changed hip-hop forever with 1999’s platinum Things Fall Apart—which Rolling Stone named one of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” and Pitchfork graded “9.4-out-of-10.” Their GRAMMY® Awards include “Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group” for “You Got Me,” “Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance” for “Hang On in There,” and “Best R&B Album” for Wake Up. As a live phenomenon, The Roots made history as the “first hip-hop group to perform at Lincoln Center,” and Rolling Stone lauded them as one of the “Twenty Greatest Live Acts in the World.” Black Thought and Questlove served as executive producers of the acclaimed AMC documentary series, Hip-Hop: The Songs That Shook America and also launched their own film and television production company Two One Five Entertainment and locked down a first-look deal with Universal Television Alternative Studio and Universal Television. With their twelfth full-length album on the horizon, The Roots level up again and bring the whole culture with them.

Omg, they are such legends!!!! I already looked into purchasing tickets for them, but sadly couldn’t work it into the party and play portion of my budget for this month. It would be absolutely amazing to see them live after accepting not being able to go. These kinds of giveaways and contests at least help keep hope alive in times of struggle. So for just that, I thank you PDX Pipelie, win or lose

RooTs rOOTs ROOTS ✨🎺 #OneLove
After growing up near Lincoln Center and listening to their music for the better part of two decades. I finally moved out to Oregon and would love the opportunity for the music experience to go full circle. I’d take my friend from NYC whose visiting.
Everyone talks about gamechangers. The Roots are absolute gamechangers. No other rap group at the time was using live instruments. But they evolved into so much more. They are cultural heavyweights. I would LOVE to sweat my butt off in 100 degree heat to see them! Absolutely!
It’s The Roots! In Portland! At Pioneer Square! During the summer! What could be better?
