On the meaning behind 'Nice to Know You', Rockline interview
“With the Roots there are just so many different elements it kind of, I don’t know, it’s definitely a serious musical challenge to play with them, I guess overall I’m more into rock than I’m into hip-hop. I’m 26 now, so it’s time to use what I have rather than try different things and I definitely have the ability to play rock music. I’ve never toured with a rock group, The Roots used to play with a lot of other hip-hop acts, but never with rock groups. It’s a different method of operation. Hip-hop dudes have a very predictable pattern of after-show activity and rock ‘n’ roll cats kind of thrive on the unpredictable.�
