We’ve loved the Roots for a long time, and thanks to network television, their presence has grown exponentially over recent years. When I first heard the news they’d be signing up with Fallon, I thought it was the end of my favorite hip-hop band. Boy, was I wrong. Instead, Questlove and the crew flipped it around and became mainstream super stars, getting noticed by some of pop culture’s biggest icons. To celebrate their 500 episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the show put together a supercut of every shout out the band has ever gotten on the show from guests. The list of names is absolutely incredible, and a true testament to the impact this legendary band has made on hip-hop and music in general.
