John Legend] - The Roots - How I Got Over 2 supporting inspirations: One - I was telling my mom about the Roots making it from playing music on a South Street corner to becoming a band that travelled all over the U.S. and the world and is now the house band of the new Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She wasn't aware of them and their journey. One idea behind this is a Roots mix for the older generations. Two - I imagined this scenario between a Dad and his son. Dad's hipping son to the Hip Hop of his day. Thanks to a cool mix from a DJ named Marv, Dad played his boy the entire mix on a drive from Philadelphia to New York (because they scored tickets to the Tonight Show). After each and every song, son asked "That's them too?" "Yes, that's them too," smiled Dad. "They sound so different, every song," the boy with the eager ears said. "Well, they are musicians and their main voice, Black Thought, what a name eh(?), he's more than a rapper, he raps poetry, stories, information and encouragement." "I thought rappers just talked about themselves and how they the best," said son. "They are best at self-aggrandizement, I always needed more son," taught Dad. (The Seed 2.0 starts playing) "Oh who is this? Are we finished listening to the Roots," asked son. "That's them too," beamed Dad while reaching for the + sign on the volume control. "Wow, that's them too," said son with a voice that trailed off as he looked out the window and saw New York City on the horizon. (Narrator: "Each time [son] asked "That's them too," in his mind's eye, heart & soul and deep in his consciousness, he was actually saying, "That's me too. That's me too. That's me, too. That's me.")
