The Roots: Distortion to Static
For this week’s #TBT Music Video, we feature The Roots’ “Distortion to Static,” to honor the late Malik B. It’s a sad to for Philadelphia music.
From 1994’s Do You Want More?!!!??! here are some classic bars from B:
“Now, go get your dictionary and your Pictionary
‘Cause much affliction with my diction friction slips and carries
Words and herds like some cattle in the steeple
People, there’s no equal, or no sequel
So policies, of equalities get abolished
Demolished, distortion of the static’s gettin’ polished”
