...was at the Rock en Seine concert yesterday in Paris which was fantastic and heard a band called 'The Roots' who were amazing. I really want to find one of the songs they performed and only have a few words of the lyrics and wondered if anyone would know the song from it... the few words go (i think) 'who are you....and who are your crew...uhuh uhuh'. lol.....something like that!

Anyone into hip hop who might be able to match the lyric to the particular song for me?

    You dont mean 'What they do' by any chance, which is an awesome track

    "What they Do" is one of the greatest music videos ever made in my humble opinion - expertly spoofing every rap video cliche :)

    Aha! I think its 'Ain't saying nothin' new'! They must have done some adhoc lyrics on the day. Fabulous performance and delivery....I'm on youtube now!
